I usually do not write reviews unless I had an exceptionally good time or bad time. In this case I had a terrible time. The hotel is clean, and looks nice in hindsight, but there is a large internal problem. My money was stolen at this property. The staff seemed to be responsive in trying to help me launch an investigation and now I have yet to hear anything. I spoke to a few other people and they’ve stated that their money has been stolen at this same hotel. I do not recommend staying here as there are many other hotels in South Africa and around the area. A considerable amount of money was stolen and in all my travels this has never happened to me. Just be careful if you choose to stay here.

Misleading. A lot of friction with check in proces
Very high friction at the check in desk. The room on the website that includes breakfast, was not registered the same on the hotels system. The check in clerk was very rude, and wanted to put surcharges to our room because of their new found policy ( that again does not align with Hotels.com's terms ). We booked the 3 bedroom apartment that has breakfast included, but the hotel only allows for 2 breakfasts for the room.

Good Stay
We had a wonderful stay at the Rockefeller Hotel in Cape Town, starting with a smooth check-in experience thanks to Nikita at the front desk. The staff and housekeeping were attentive, ensuring a comfortable and clean environment throughout my visit. However, the sushi did not meet the high standards I've experienced in travelling around, and the lack of nearby dining options was a bit inconvenient. Despite this, the overall service and experience at the hotel were exceptional, making my stay enjoyable.

I had two weeks in Rockefeller hotel as solo traveller for vacations and it was a great choice for longer stay. Hotel itself is in safe area and honestly I think the city does not deserve the negative publicity it gets for safety. I walked around both during day time and evenings alone and did not feel threatened. Hotel, its facilities were excellent with friendly staff that went out of their way to be helpful. Restaurant on the other hand was not that spectacular, dined there few times and can’t say it deserved a four star hotel (tried both sushi and pasta and pizza). For no I g around I have used Uber which was super convenient, affordable and max 2 minutes wait to be picked up. Just a comment, would be nice to have a bath robe :)

Rockefeller Hotel Don’t Go
Disappointing the staff were not accommodating when we arrived earlier than check in time despite us having emailed to ask if the room could be ready and we were told they would try but no one knew about this on our arrival. My wife got food poisoning from eating dinner in the restaurant and spent the next two days in bed. We were asked to fill in a form despite the fact we told the staff she hadn’t eaten anything else that day so the food poisoning was from the restaurant. The happy hour cocktails tasted watered down compared when paying individually the food in the restaurant generally was very ordinary. Compared with other hotels we have stayed in despite its appearance it was below our expectations would not recommend or go back

The hotel itself is very nice but very unsafe outside of the hotel Hotel should consider offering a free breakfast considering the unsafe outside conditions to draw more customers. I would not stay here again becsuse of the safety factor

The rooms are a bit small, and dark. The hotel in general is nice and safe. The gym is decent. Don't walk at night time. You can walk to the waterfront in the day- just stick to the main roads. Otherwise uber is so convenient and comes within minutes.
