I have stayed here a few times after a party with friends,very clean and it is adorned with paintings painted by the landlady Marga.We stayed in room 6 a family room,consisting of a double and a single bad and a bunk bed ideal for the family.I would not hesitate to recommend Le Papillon.

we returned to the Papillon but this time it was 4 couples as it was end of September it was quiet but very coosy and comfortable Marga was very nice again and we did some good cooking we just love it there and I will visit there again when I am back again

This is the second time that I have used Le Papillon as part of a group and it has been great on both occasions. Marga is an excellent host, and will sort any issues that may arise. The beds are comfortable, and the rooms are very clean. We will definitely be staying again!!!

Me and my friend stayed at le papillon, it was more like staying at a friends house than staying at a hostel.

Myself and five friends stayed at the hostel for two nights in August. We booked the hostel through Hostelworld but it has much more of a ‘Bed and breakfast’ feel. Lovely house with a large relaxing garden, and rooms are of a very good size. The host was very friendly and the rooms were great value. Good location not far... More

We stayed at Le Papillon for 6 nights while ending our holiday in Torquay. We booked the dorm room through Hostelworld, but upon arrival we noticed it was nothing like a hostel at all. First of all the room was very bright, and most important 100% clean. As mentioned by other reviewers the showers have to be paid for (50p),... More

I celebrated the diamond jubilee in torquay and decided to stay at the papillon, the host was very friendly she showed us around and told us to feel free to... meaning: no closing times, full use of the kitchen and the fridge & co, and sometimes she came down to have a little chat, to make sure everything was alright,...
