The layout of my first room was logistically unpleasant and forced me to change my room. I kept hitting my knee every time I passed the bed and only one outlet was available for use. My 2nd room was an esthetically lovely room (a surprise upgrade), but the exceptionally poor Wi-Fi connection, non-working TV, and lack of hot water ruined that ambiance. The historical features, in-house artistic events, and sweet/helpful staff members were helped improve my experience. Lastly, the location of the hotel was also perfect for historical and waterfall tours, nightlife, and boardwalk activities.

We stayed here for one night based on seeing it on Chef Jose Andres' "Undiscovered Haiti" (a must watch if you are travelling to Haiti). It's an older building, beautifully preserved, with a large bar/ restaurant in the lobby where you can enjoy what we have heard on good (local) authority is the BEST rhum sour in the country. We stayed in the "old kitchen" room (one of the smaller rooms that has its own little courtyard (shared with other rooms, though we were the only guests) which was fairly basic but quite charming. Bed has a mosquito net and a fan. Hotel has a small courtyard where we parked our car during our stay. Breakfast was toast with butter/ mamba (the local spicy peanut butter - don't miss it!) and fresh fruit with great coffee (you can buy the coffee from the bar to bring home). A great base to explore the town.

Great but could be the best in town with AC
Our trip was good but the weather was hot and we did not have any Air Conditioning so me and my family were sweating throughout the whole night we had to move to a different hotel which we didn’t really want to but we had to. The food was good the coffee in the morning was great.

Typical old hotel
You are looking for a typical old hotel. All right, this is the hotel for you. But you have to take the poor accommodations too. No clim, very little bathroom, not enough parking, and they could pay more attention to the maintenance of their accommodations (water running poorly in the shower, light on and off, …). If you have an appointment at about 9 o’clock in the morning, you’ll get some slices of bread with peanut butter and jam and some fruit, forget about juice and eggs. But, if you have time and you visit this hotel for diner, you’ll sit in a wonderful place with very nice art, … enjoy !

A charming and old (definitely old 😊) hotel that fit our needs very well. The house staff was very friendly, especially the bartender and the intern who was working evenings. The food was excellent and far better than any other food we had in the town.

Nice and charming old hotel
Nice and charming old hotel. No room with a single bed, had to squeeze in between two large queen size canopy beds. Great location, walking distance from the boardwalk and the ocean. No air conditioning system, it was quite hot and the two fans couldn't bring any relief.

Simply Amazing!!!
I just got back from Hotel Florita, what an incredible experience. That place is magic.The service is great especially the friendliness of their staff, they are very welcoming and accomodating. From the staff at the desk to the guys at the bar and the housekeeping ladies. Jean, the manager, always on site and always listening to make sure the experience is remarkable for the guests. I will also mention the great service and hospitality of Roody at reception, Beatrice and Dominique at the bar to name a few. Altogther a great experience. One can't say enough about the charm of that 19th century colonial building and how great the vibe is at that hotel. It's the '' Hangout'' place in Jacmel. I can't wait to go back.

A lovely slice of history ...
The Florita is in a renovated historic old brick building with a lot of charm. The owner, who, like me grew up in Brooklyn, NY, lives in property, and is a very charming guy with tons of interesting stories. The food is excellent, and the Barbancourt rum drinks are exquisite. The staff is friendly & efficient and the rooms are super clean. The music in the lobby was an extra treat ... classical in the morning, jazz, blues, & reggae in the evening.

Update: Didn't Get What We Booked
Since it is not possible to edit an existing review on Expedia I wanted to provided some updated information. I have been in contact with the hotel and Expedia. There was an error made in the descriptions of the rooms which has now been corrected. From what I can see the descriptions are now much more accurate. I'm sure you will enjoy your stay.

Didn't Get What We Booked
The Florita is an aging queen straight out of a Graham Greene or Hemingway novel, complete with her own cast of characters. It is difficult to rate our stay in this hotel as there was an issue with the booking. We booked a Superior room with a queen and a twin bed as we were traveling with our adult daughter. The information also stated that it had a “view”. On arrival we were told that the Superior room only comes with a king size bed. Eventually they found a mattress to put on the floor for us. The room also had no “view”. There are rooms tucked into all kinds of corners in this hotel, so if you want a view you will have to make arrangements. I don't know where the error occurred; the hotel or Expedia. Other than the booking issue our stay was very pleasant. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. We were told several times to just ask if we needed anything. The bar/restaurant area is a beautiful place to eat, drink, relax and connect with fellow travelers. The food is good and the rum sours are the best we had in Haiti. We hired their driver to take us to Bassin Bleu (a must see) and a couple of nearby beaches. If you are more adventurous you can take a “moto” which will be cheaper.The hotel is located in the heart of the arts district, which is what Jacmel is known for. There are lots of artisan shops around where you can haggle for handmade crafts and support the local community. There are a few bars and restaurants around if you want to try something different.
