I stayed at the hotel for one and a half weeks. The place is dirty, the owners could care less about the guests except to try to get as much money out them as possible, the in room tvs don't work, the bathrooms are gross, the air conditioners may or may not work, the rooms haven't been painted in a long, long time . The staff were very freindly except that the owners were always harping on them in front of the guests. I would definitly recommend a diferent hotel. My guess your could find a lot better hotel for the same price.

The Hotel Roi Christophe is a nice place to stay in Cap Haitien. It has an old world charm about it. The rooms are spacious, the showers hot and the food is delicious. There are beautiful verandas and wireless internet connection. The hotel is within walking distance of the pier where you can buy locally made Haitian souveniers. The hotel also has a pool.

We stayed at Roi Christophe one night before moving on to the fabulous Cormier Plage (we arrived in Cap too late to go all the way to Cormier), and well, let's say that I'm glad we stayed here *before* staying at Cormier b/c it would have been quite a step down. The rooms are pretty much atrocious, although they are a decent size and there was hot water for the shower. Thankfully, the rest of the hotel and its grounds are really something to be seen. There are lovely verandah-type eating areas in the front and on the side of the building, an interior courtyard, and a cozy bar, all giving views of the beautiful plant life surrounding the gracefully ageing building. The foliage is so dense that one can hardly hear the noise of the streets outside of the enclave, a true blessing. The other standout for me was the wooden staircase at the back of the building. It is original to the building and you feel almost transported in time as you use it. Service was inconsistent (one man was excellent and attempted to correct a couple of the other staff members when they were less-than-excellent), but not terrible. Food was tasty, but limited; many of the items on the menu were not actually available. I did not use the pool, but I saw people cleaning it while we were there and it looked quite nice, very well situated on the grounds. I will probably try some of the other hotels in Cap Haitien if we ever stay in town again, but I would not be sad if I had to stay here again, as long as I didn't have to stay in my room too long.

I traveled to Cap Haitien with a group of 11. We were there to provide dental care to children at various schools throughout the week. We stayed at the Hotel du Roi Christophe which is pretty much centrally located for our needs. The staff each morning were wonderful. The breakfast, though light, was delicious. Fresh toasted bread (not Wonder Bread!!) and fresh jams, peanut butter and the absolute best coffee I've ever tasted!! I'm still trying to figure out how to purchase it since returning home.
The only issue, and is is not uncommon in other countries, is that meal time is no hurry. You order dinner at say 7pm, you eat at say 10pm. This is not a knock on the hotel, like I said this seemed to be at the other placed we ate as well.
The grounds were wonderful and clean. You have to go with a mindset that will not compare this to the Four Seasons or The Waldorf Astoria and you'll be pleased.
In general we felt extremely welcomed and safe, we walked at night as a group we visited market places with a "guide" who offered to help us by bringing us to his "friend's" booths. We had a great time and will return to Cap Haitien and to Hotel du Roi Christophe.
