La proprietà — Five Strars Hotel
A functional 3-star in central Port-au-Prince, it’s more suited to the pragmatic business traveller or aid worker than a leisure tourist. The lobby is tiled, a bit faded, with a front desk made of dark wood and a security guard by the door—efficient, not welcoming. The USP is location: on Avenue Martin Luther King, a few minutes from the airport and close to Pétion-Ville. It’s a place to sleep and work, not a destination in itself.
Cronache di Port-au-Prince
Port-au-Prince was founded in 1749 by French colonists as a sugar and coffee port, quickly becoming the capital of Saint-Domingue. After the 1804 Haitian Revolution it became the first capital of an independent black republic, but the city’s grid was repeatedly rebuilt after earthquakes, most catastrophically in 2010. Architecture ranges from gingerbread Victorian houses in Pacot to concrete cubes and wrecked structures; the National Palace still stands as a ruin. Today the city is a chaotic, resilient hub of Haitian culture—Vodou, art, and music—with a rhythm that’s both frantic and creative.
Il momento migliore per visitare
Guida completa di Port-au-Prince →I migliori mesi
November and December: the tail of the dry season, temperatures around 28–30°C, and you miss the worst of the Caribbean hurricane window. February also works for cooler evenings and the carnival buildup.
Peak / Festival Surge
July and August are peak for foreign visitors (NGOs, diaspora, some tourists) because of summer holidays, but also the rainy season—heavy afternoon downpours. Hotel prices in a simple 3-star like this rise maybe 10–20% from a low-season base. The main event is Carnival, usually in February, which surges demand and fills rooms.
Stagione di spalla
May and October: you still get some rain but far fewer travellers. Discounts of 15–30% on room rates are common, and flights from Miami are cheaper. You’ll also dodge the festive crush.
Meteo e imballaggio
Port-au-Prince has a distinct rainy season from April to November, with short, intense afternoon storms—not constant drizzle. Pack a lightweight rain jacket and quick-dry trousers; leave cotton jeans behind as they won’t dry overnight.
Briefing della città — Port-au-Prince
- Construction on Route de Delmas is causing intermittent closures and diversions near the hotel; allow 15 extra minutes for airport transfers through end of 2026.
- The National Museum of the Haitian Pantheon reopened its permanent collection in early 2026 after renovations—good for a half-day visit in the city centre.
- A seasonal cholera risk advisory is in effect for July; visitors should stick to bottled water and avoid street food that can’t be peeled.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Five Strars Hotel, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the 2nd or 3rd floor at the rear of the building. These floors are high enough to avoid street-level noise but low enough for easy stair access if the lift is unreliable. The rear orientation offers a quieter setting away from the main road.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid ground-floor rooms, as they face the street and are exposed to pedestrian traffic, car horns, and possible security issues. Also avoid rooms directly adjacent to the lift shaft on any floor due to mechanical noise.
Best views
The best view is from higher floors facing the city or hillside, not the street. A 4th-floor room with a window looking away from the main road gives some sightlines over Port-au-Prince without constant traffic distraction.
Quietest floors
Floors 2 through 4 are typically the quietest, as they sit above the lobby and ground-floor activity but are below any rooftop machinery or staff quarters.
🔊 Noise notes
Being a 3-star property in central Port-au-Prince, street noise from honking, motorcycles, and market vendors is constant during the day. The lift can be clunky and audible on all floors, especially near the shaft.
Insider tips
1) Ask for a room on the 3rd floor at check-in—it’s usually stable for both noise and lift reliability. 2) Bring earplugs; the hotel may offer a fan for white noise, but it’s worth having your own to mask street bangs and generator hums.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available
