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.

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.

agréable detre au calme et au centre ville de PAP ..un petit reproche le petit déjeuner est un peu "juste" ..l'hotel est à la hauteur de son histoire ..et permet un séjour en dehors du temps (et de la mondialisation hôtelier )

The Oloffson is one of the few remaining great hotels in the world. You could stay in a sterile, anodyne hotel in Petionville but you would be missing out. The Oloffson is a treasure and you would do yourself a disservice not visiting. I cannot recommend it enough.

This place is epic cultural art, with music on Thursday night that lights up the town, Kompas Rock Fusion. Food is excellent, staff is gracious

This stay was worth the trip alone. Amazing performance from legendary Haitian band RAM on Thursday night and a very friendly staff. I loved it here so much that my one night stay became 3!

The Hotel Oloffson is a lovely traditional gingerbread mansion that has been converted to a charming hotel. It does not have all the mod-cons but it does have a wonderful history. And on Thursday nights it hosts local voudou rock band RAM!

There is nowhere like the venerable Hotel Oloffson. The staff are gracious and accommodating, the rooms superb, the rhum punches legendary. I cannot wait to return!

There are many reasons why this is a legendary hotel: large rooms with high ceilings, fantastic verandahs overlooking beautiful setting ( I was in one of 3 suites ), an otherworldly charm, history. The staff is wonderful, the bar a throwback to earlier times and the food is very good.

The Oloffson is a legend, and the standards are still high. The excellent restaurant on the terrace is an added plus.

L'hotel Olofsson est une oasis de verdure, dans une bâtisse style ginger bread très originale. Le personnel est très sympathique et on y mange bien aussi. La situation sécuritaire actuelle empêche de profiter des environs.

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!

We enjoyed staying at Hotel Oloffson. Swimming in the pool and listening the music. Thank you for having us!

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.

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).
