I have to say that Wall's was a nice place. The staff is friendly and attentive and the meals were usually on time and always good, with the pseudo-vegetable lasagna being great.
Yes, the neighborhood is crappy and not safe at night. Of course, so is most of Port-au-Prince. If you want to be able to roam around at night with any degree of safety you'll need to move up the hill to Petionville. And you'll pay through the nose for it..
The complex is older and the quake didn't do it any favors, but the staff have made the best of it. The bathrooms all functioned and they do clean them regularly, but shared baths have a way of getting dirty.
The rooms are decent, clean when you check in and the beds aren't terrible. The linens and towels are clean and replaced every few days. Some rooms have air conditioning and some don't. It's just the luck of the draw, although when I was there they were looking into air conditioning all the rooms.
Even when you have ac it only works on the generator or when there is city power. It doesn't function on the battery power. Which means it usually doesn't work during the day. There are always lights thanks to the batteries.
They just installed a faster internet connection, so the wifi isn't quite as painful as before.
I met people from several countries, mostly mission groups or relief workers, but it is by far the best place I have stayed in Haiti.
One last note, it is Haiti. Post-quake Haiti. Things aren't as smooth or as easy as they are in the US or Europe. Expect some speed bumps. And I have to call BS on justcruising who says that they found a guest house in a safer part of town for 1/4 the price. It didn't happen. The only safer part of town is up the mountain in Petionville and that is astronomically more expensive.
I'll be staying there on all of my future trips to Port, whether alone or with a team.
