Three of us shared the Rue de St. Anne suite of three rooms and one bathroom, with a balcony and four rocking chairs for $200 USD per night. Beds were comfortable and all had mosquito nets. The small room roof leaked so that bed was unusable as it rained both nights we were there. Rooms were very warm and stifling,... More

Even before coming to Jacmel I had heard of this historic hotel though various pictures in travel guides and people's positive mentioning of it. One quote in particularly, stuck to my mind; “Probably one of the best rooms I have seen in Haiti so far.” From my own travels throughout the country, as part of a master thesis, this is... More

This hotel indeed is in the center of Jamel, but the price they charge is too much for the type of service and facilities you receive. $180 per night including taxes is to much for a bad maintain hotel. Although breakfast is fine. The center location is not a plus, there is not too much to see around, I tought... More

We had a great time at the Florita. It is a beautiful and well maintained old historic building which luckily survived the earthquake relatively unharmed. We stayed in a delightful courtyard bedroom with a four-poster bed and Haitian artwork all over the walls. The service was extremely friendly and attentive. Definitely a 'must visit' place.

We were traveling around Haiti just for fun (probably the only ones not with an NGO or some church/med group). We had the third floor suite and it was amazing. A few different beds of various sizes, all colonial style with good mosquito nets, and an absolutely epic balcony. The rest of the hotel was cool from a historical standpoint,... More

Spent some Christmas days at Hotel Florita, Jacmel. Perfect after slow and tideways lazy days on resorts. The hotel is a museum. If you can see the charm it will tell the history from the glorious days of coffee and money, to erthquakes and restore. Its double height celing, woodfloors, cast iron stairs and thick brick walls gives the perfect... More

The facilities are nice, and the service is excellent. I enjoyed my stay thoroughly here, and was an excellent home base for going out and exploring Jacmel. The people at the hotel were helpful in providing the first-timer suggestions on important places to visit while there. Also, the place has a really cool, rustic, atmosphere.

I loved the colonial architecture of Florita and the food was amazing. I would recommend this hotel if you plan on being close the downtown Jacmel. Make sure you check out Chez Maud and Guy's Guest house for some inexpensive local food. The manager is a very friendly and helpful guy, but, I would appreciate if the manager could let... More

Official Description (provided by the hotel):
The finest house in Jacmel. Built in 1888 in "New Orleans" style. Furnished with antiques--art is everywhere. The best restaurant and bar in town--by far. Jacmel is the safest and most charming town in Haiti--and Haiti has always been the most interesting country in the Caribbean for sophisticated travelers. The Hotel Florita is the only 19th Century house that is as it still in daily use. It is an opportunity to see what life in Jacmel was like for the coffee merchants a hundred years ago. Jacmel was built on coffee--the cash crop of subsistence farmers in the mountains--and still has the best coffee anywhere. We now have a pool and will take you to any local beach--and pick you up as well. We arrange for you to get picked up at the airport--or exactly how to take local transportation to get here. We arrange excursions and do whatever we can to make your visit to Jacmel memorably pleasant. We have a large and comfortable restaurant and bar. Please go to TripAdvisor to see our reviews--and who wrote them! (TripAdvisor rates us as the number one hotel in Haiti.) ... more   less
