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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

Plenty of character. Original "gingerbread " house. Rooms in the main house have certainly seen better days. Some rooms have a great patio.
