If one is interested in "glitz", the Oloffson is not your place. It is very full of history (read Graham Greene's The Comedians, set here during Duvalier years). The place and rooms are unique, clean, certainly functional and with fascinating grounds.

I was very comfortable with the bed size. The art works were great and reminded me of the greater Haiti

If there is a hotel in Port au Prince with more character, I can't imagine what it is. The Oloffoson is in a class by itself. You can feel the atmosphere is not drastically changed from when Graham Greene used it as a setting for "The Comedians." The restaurant food is good, but the menu is limited. The voodoo accoutrements displayed on the grounds are (I think) for decoration, and they do add atmosphere. The rooms, each named for a past famous patron, are clean and comfortable. The hotel is walled and feels secure. I would definitely happily return to the Oloffoson on my next trip to Haiti.

I can not blame the property because I was the only guest at the hotel.The neighborhood is unsafe.I would be better to keep this property off your hotels selection.Only one hour of running electricity.

The atmosphere is enchanting. The rooms are large and comfortable with nice showers. The food is well prepared and very reasonably priced - and the view from the dining room is calming. The Hotel Oloffson is a historic property with much charm but not as much upkeep. While the facilities are well maintained, they are a bit stodgy and parts of the grounds are still in disrepair. Air conditioning is not available during the day. WiFi works well in the common areas but doesn’t reach the rooms. And of course nothing beats the famous Rhum Punch -especially when you can enjoy it on a night that RAM is playing!

It is a beautiful and charming place. Service is slow and breakfast is way too little. Our shower was running for no reasons from time to time with no way to stop it...However, I still recommend for people to experience this unique landmark. The Thursday night RAM night is amazing.

I arrived at the hotel and they informed me they did not have a room available and there was nothing they could do for me. I was not able to check in and I had to go to another hotel. I received no advance notice. I nowmust fight through my credit card company not to be charged for the room I paid for in advance.

We stayed at the Oloffson based purely on the history of the place. It's a stately old property (classic "gingerbread house") that we enjoyed staying at for a couple of days mid-trip around Haiti. Our room was quiet (not in the main house) and very large. We had good hot water, a huge fan and aircon (though the electricity went out intermittently) and slept comfortably, despite the absence of proper curtains on the windows (just lace). Hotel staff was very friendly and accommodating (they let us leave our rental car and some luggage with them for 3 days while we visited Can Haitien) and were always very pleasant and helpful. Breakfast was just some bread with jam/ peanut butter/ butter and coffee but there were a few other items you could purchase (fruit etc...). We didn't get the chance to enjoy a drink at the bar or eat in the restaurant but it was a lovely space. Don't miss the RAM concerts on Thuesdays (they were not playing the week we were there but we caught them at a different location on another night).

Arrived for check in the evening. There wasn't any signs to make it easy. When we arrived for check in, they gave us keys for two rooms. But later brought me back to tell me that my reservation was for one room. She showed me the reservation and I pointed out it was for two (it said multi room booking, 2 of 2 rooms). The staff refused to call Expedia and kept us standing around for the longest to try to get us to pay additional $115 for room. In addition to the three hour check in, the food was the smallest portions ever - not good - and they charged is $107 for 5 meals. Breakfast was $63 and the food was cold. The beds were dusty and there were stains on towels and sheets

The staff's have not fully grasped the full concept of customer service. I have stayed there two days, and had to request towel for both days. Wanted to take a swim but the pool was dirty.However, the food was exquisite and the whole aspect of the 17th century was impressive to say the least. With that say, i would not mind giving it another try because I presumed it was due to the carnival season.

Although I wasn't expecting loads, given Haiti's levels of infrastructure, it does seem this hotel is trading off its legacy. Given the price of the room, the hotel is tired and old, the staff were completely indifferent. The 'standard room' has no towels, no hot water, no toiletries, no WiFi, no view. Such a shame.

This hotel is close to downtown Port au Prince. It has lots of character and history. There is voodoo art everywhere, which is very interesting. When we arrived they didn't seem to know about our Expedia booking. We had booked a deluxe room and needed a rollaway bed because we were travelling with our adult daughter. They ended up giving us an upgraded room in one of the cottages with two queen beds instead. The staff were friendly enough, and the food was good. Breakfast was bread with peanut butter and jam and a couple of cold cereals, coffee and tea. My understanding is that breakfast isn't a big deal in Haiti. The rum punches were very good. It was nice to have the pool to cool off. The air-conditioning didn't work, but this is probably more a function of the lack of state electricity than anything. Because we needed to keep the windows open for cooling, the street noise was a bit of an issue, but you're gong to find that anywhere in PaP.

There are many more polished hotels in Haiti, but staying at the Oloffson is experience that every visitor to Haiti should have. The rooms vary in refinement, this is a 140 year old hotel, but most are quite nice, the beds comfortable and the space is more than adequate, but the real draw to this hotel is the mixture of cultures--ex pats, visiting artists, locals that you'll find here, especially on Thursday nights when RAM plays. I'm a writer, and the storied history of the hotel was the first draw for me (Graham Greene set much of The Comedians here and was a regular), but I've kept coming back because of the social environment that exist here. You meet memorable people every time you come. The internet may go off for an hour, and some other little electrical hiccup might occur from time to time, but there is nothing sterile or westernized about the place. And RAM, the resident band is one of the most relevant experiences that you can have in PAP. I keep coming back, and every experience is rich. In my travels, I could not recommend a place more.

This hotel has a long history and I wanted to stay there for that reason . It's very dated, TV in the room doesn't work, nice simple breakfast in the morning, one friendly dog on site. RAM performs every Thursday at the hotel, no admission fee if you're a guest. Not to forget, the staff is very friendly.
