About

Papillon Hotel - Budapest

Papillon Hotel sits in the leafy Rozsadomb district of Budapest, about a 19-minute walk from the Danube. It’s a straightforward, comfortable 3-star with an emphasis on personal service — guests consistently mention the welcoming staff and the handy 24-hour reception.

Rooms range from budget doubles to family apartments, all with carpeted floors, flat-screen TVs, and tea and coffee facilities. The apartments add a coffee machine and a dining table, making them a practical choice for longer stays. Breakfast is served on-site, and the restaurant also offers lunch and dinner.

Set on a quiet street, the hotel is a solid option if you don’t mind being outside the city centre — a tram stop is nearby, and the walk to most sights is around 15–25 minutes. Parking and pet policies are flexible, though it’s worth checking specifics at booking.

Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Set away from the city centre — The hotel is in the Rozsadomb district, a 19-minute walk from the Danube and 20–25 minutes on foot to central sights – manageable if you like walking, but not central.
  • Rooms show their age — One guest noted the hotel 'needs reconstruction,' and the standard rooms are simple with carpeted floors and basic bathrooms.
  • Check-in window ends at midnight — Reception is 24-hour, but check-in is officially from 15:00 to 23:59 – if you arrive after midnight, you may need to arrange a late arrival.
  • Mixed review scores despite the positives — The overall rating is 7.7, with some guests giving scores as low as 5–7, usually due to the walk to the centre or the dated feel.

04 — Location

Getting around Budapest

The property sits in Budapest.

Danube and the Buda hills: The hotel is a 19-minute walk from the Danube, so riverside strolls are easy. The Rozsadomb district is a leafy residential area with hillside streets – a pleasant contrast to the busy centre.

Public transport: A tram stop is a short walk from the hotel, connecting you to the city’s tram network. Central sights are 15–25 minutes away on foot, so you can choose to walk or ride.

City centre: Most major attractions are within a 20–25-minute walk, according to guests. The walk is quite doable if you’re comfortable with a bit of uphill terrain on the return.
