Forget about reviews from before the earthquake - Ibo Lele may have been a grand hotel in former times and maybe one of the first secure places right after the earthquake but they let you pay for the old reputation and not for what they have to offer right now. I stayed in most of the hotels in Port au Prince and this one is definitely a place I will not return to: 110 USD for a dirty room (old hairs and soap in the bathroom, shabby furniture, bad smell etc) and bad service is totally inappropriate! The only positive thing is the pool with the great view over the city - which is helpful because you do not wanna spend one minute more than necessary inside of the room...

I'm really not sure how to rate this hotel. After two weeks in rural Haiti it was great! But honestly it would be pretty mundane amenity wise compared to America. The hotel looked pretty nice. The architecture was beautiful and there was some great art work and it felt like the type of place that a 1950s James Bond film would be at. Definitely the best part of the hotel was its INCREDIBLE view over Port-au-Prince. The food at the restaurant was tasty but maybe a bit overpriced and the staff were definitely not trained very well as checking-in and getting food took a while and I would expect multilingual workers at such a nice place but they weren't. The rooms were comfortable enough but maybe I was just thankful to have running water, tv, and internet for the first time in 2 weeks. Decent place really and I wouldn't hesitate to stay there again. With a bit of investment and some construction (which was going on in May 2011) this could really be a nice place.

Stayed here for two weeks in November. Rooms cleaned randomly, internet worked only occasionally. Tried the hotel restaurant only once then didn't return; fortunately had transportation to reach other options. The sports bar was good, however, and NFL games on weekends were a big plus.

The only thing nice I found at Ibo Lele was the view of Port au Prince from the terrace. The room I've got was not really clean and the furniture in poor condition. It was very noisy especially around 2 or 3 in the morning when revelers leave the place during the week end. The food is quite expensive for what they serve. I tried different meals during my one week stay and there is only one acceptable, the poulet creole. I wouldn't be too excited to go there again........
