Ayiti Guest House
Hostellerie Du Roi Christophe
Cap-Haïtien’s most charming hotel, this French colonial building has something of the Spanish hacienda about it. There’s an elegant, leafy central courtyard with plenty of rocking chairs, and a terrace restaurant...
St Joseph’S Home For Boys Guest House
Rebuilt with great fortitude after the original house collapsed in the earthquake, this home for ex-street boys still offers a fantastic Haitian experience...
Karibe Hôtel
By some degree the fanciest big hotel in Haiti, this hotel–conference centre is where you’ll find the richest businessmen, international consultants and even ex-presidents putting their bills on expenses...
Auberge Inn
The decor and welcome make the Auberge Inn feel more like a home than a guesthouse. Very charming, rooms have mosquito nets, the food is excellent, and there’s a selection of books, maps and handicrafts on sale...
Park Hotel
An old townhouse-hotel facing Champs de Mars, the Park aspires to faded grandeur but ends up just feeling a bit sleepy. Rooms are simple but well turned out, set around the pool at the back or in the block alongside...
Hôtel Florita
Damaged in the earthquake but rebuilt, this converted mansion from 1888 oozes charm. There are polished floorboards and period furniture, while rooms are whitewashed and airy, with mosquito net and balcony. The bar is great, and chock-full of art.
Hotel Kinam
A large gingerbread hotel right in the center of Pétionville, the Kinam is a good option. Rooms are well sized and modern, while the hotel as a whole offers good quality...
Kalewes Guest House
This gingerbread in lush grounds is a short walk uphill from Place Saint-Pierre on the main (and busy) road to Kenscoff. Rooms are pretty basic, although not lacking for space...
Hôtel La Sargesse
Most of Cap-Haïtien’s cheapies are fairly grim affairs, but this one just about makes the grade. Bathrooms are shared. Don’t expect any frills, and bring some earplugs if you’re a light sleeper. There’s an OK restaurant out front.
Auberge La Distribution
Standing next to one of the irrigation canals, this hotel is better than one might expect for such a small town. There are a number of buildings set in a large and rambling garden, with tidy rooms and a palm-shaded terrace bar and restaurant...
Cormier Plage Resort
One of the loveliest resorts in Haiti, Cormier Plage has 36 big and airy rooms dotted amid palm trees looking out to sea, all with terrace and wi-fi, and meters from the gently shelving golden beach...
Family Hotel
This is a decent medium-sized hotel, with a restaurant. Rooms are good value, although the service can be a bit poor.
Le Relais De L’Emperor
Built in 1849 as a residence for Emperor Faustin Soulouque, Le Relais de l’Emperor is faded grandeur personified. Rooms are ostentatious, with high ceilings, four-poster beds and huge baths with gold taps in the bedrooms...
Club Indigo
Everything at this former Club Med hotel is bright and breezy, with huge grounds and whitewashed buildings centered on the pool and restaurant-bar area. The beach is lovely, and a good job, too, as you’ll only want to sleep in the frankly tiny rooms...
Hôtel Oloffson
Immortalized as the Hotel Trianon in Graham Greene’s The Comedians, this elegant gingerbread building is one of the city’s loveliest, further tricked out with paintings and Vodou flags...
Wozo Plaza Hôtel
The Wozo Plaza Hôtel on the outskirts of town gets consistently good reviews for its service.
Kaliko Beach Club
A modern all-inclusive-style resort, with a series of linked pools and cute octagonal bungalows set amid shady grounds. There are various water-sports options along the pebbly beach...
Hotel Louis & Louise
This hotel is a yellow-and-blue gingerbread-style building with cozy rooms and home-cooked food.
La Patience Hôtel
Immediately east of Place Alexandre Dumas, between the street and the sea, this is the best of a gang of unimpressive budget hotels. Reasonably clean, reasonably welcoming and reasonably acceptable for the price.
Ozana Hôtel
A bright, clean and very modern hotel, with nice rooms, satellite TV, a restaurant and everything kept spotlessly clean. The drawback? The location, down a long dirt track off the highway, makes your own vehicle pretty much essential.
Ibo Lele
The Ibo Lele was a big player in the 1960s tourist years, but today it feels a bit lifeless. Rooms still maintain some quality, and the huge pool can be a draw for nonguests to use...
Madame Leconte’S Guest House
If you’re on a tight budget but need to stay close to Champs de Mars, this guesthouse-cum-family-home may be your best option...
Relais Du Boucanier
You could hardly be closer to the Caribbean in this coral-pink hotel. The waves almost break into the open-sided dining room, while in any of the large and fine rooms you’ll be pleasantly lulled to sleep by the sound of the sea.
Universal Hotel
Definitely one of the better budget options. A large hotel with several terraces, its rooms are simple and clean...
