For PaP, the best place. Great history, food, entertainment, connections, and advice. Someone else said it, but leave your western goggles at the door. Don't or moan when things take longer or your ceiling leaks. Look outside the gates and remember how lucky your are. The Creole food is incredible and stay for RAM on Thursday nights.

Look at the photos of the Hotel's webside and if you like them just go there! Nothing is new, but it is probably the most charming place I have ever been and the staff is great! I felt safe and at home away from home! Great food, art, views.....and... and...and...! More

Just what I needed when I wanted to escape the scene of Pétionville and have an unexpected experience. I loved the artsy feeling, music dj by the pool, the cracking uneven floors. Don't expect anything spotless and modern, it seems to be about to colapse but reason more to see it before it does and hey, it survived the quake... More

I stayed here on two separate nights. For the first, I was in room 5. The bathroom itself had mold on the upper parts of the walls, which really should be addressed. This didn't bother me at all, but if I was staying longer or had allergy issues, I might have been upset. The other night I stayed in room... More

If you are artistic, a political lefty, lover of Haiti, all of these, you will love the Oloffson. I was there before, during and after the earthquake. It is and remained even during earthquake streses, the Greenwich Village of Haiti. Of course the famous press stayed at the Plaza, but the intelligent press remained at the Oloffson. It is the...

In spite of the post earth quake difficulties with power and water, the staff of the oloffson continued to provide exemplary service. The meals were nicely prepared and well presented. In a situation when most Hotels would just have shut down, Richard and Lunise Morse kept their hotel open, providing hospitality to their guests and work for their employees. No... More

The Oloffson is described as having character and charm. But, voodoo motiffs and old world architecture do not make up for an infestation of bees, leaky roofs, TVs that do not work, cold water, and toiletes that need constant attention. Unfortunately, the current management is not making repairs to this hotel. It would be condemned in the United States. It... More

We've stayed at the Oloffson twice and have thoroughly enjoyed both visits. That being said, you need to understand that the Oloffson is not your typical hotel. If you're expecting a sports bar and music in the elevators, the Oloffson is not your type of place. Rooms are satisfactory without being exceptional. We are reminded of much older hotels in... More

Filthy, rickety, overpriced hotel, surly, unhelpful management, extortionate restaurant and bar: Avoid at all cost! Agree with poster HaitiPI, rain comes into rooms when it rains so watch any electronic equipment. Check the bill carefully, as management often charge twice for food and drinks purchased at the bar and paid for in cash. Stay at the Villa Creole or Kinam... More
