Wall’s Guest House

Port-au-Prince & Around


A friendly guesthouse run with a strong Christian ethic; you’re likely to find yourself sharing with missionaries and aid workers, and adopting families. Basic rooms in a couple of buildings resurrected after the earthquake share bathrooms, and everybody eats together in an open-air restaurant by a small pool.
