    the service from staff was amazing. Everyday my room was cleaned spotless

    the fact that you don't offer bacon. At least be upfront that you don't serve pork products. No everyone doesn't prefer them. I also asked if I could warm my food in the microwave and was denied because it was instruction given to staff. Although the food was left overs from previous night's Rockefeller restaurant. I would understand if they refused because it was from another restaurant.

    Property response:

    Dear Rudo, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are delighted to hear that you found our team’s service amazing and that your room was cleaned to your satisfaction each day. We sincerely apologize for any disappointment caused regarding our breakfast offerings and the warming of your food. While our restaurant does not serve pork products, we understand the importance of being transparent, and we will review how we communicate this more clearly to our guests. We also take note of your comment regarding reheating meals, and we regret that this caused any inconvenience, especially as the food was from our own restaurant. Your feedback is invaluable in helping us improve, and we truly hope to welcome you back for an even better experience in the future. Warm regards, Busi Rooiland Guest Relations / Duty Manager The Rockefeller Hotel

    Friendly staff, nice welcoming upon arrival. Clean room, great design, good showers. Good space for a night or two if visiting the CBD of Cape Town.

    Parking situation where you need to park across the road. Bathroom is a little small. Breakfast is overratted/overpriced, would be better to get breakfast elsewhere.

    Beautiful and modern and clean . Lovely comfortable rooms. Beds comfortable. Lovely bar and restaurant and pool and bar on rooftop. Good pizzas. Lovely staff all very helpful and friendly.

    The front desk was friendly. We arrived a day early for our tour and they were able to keep us in the same room between the two reservations. The room is comfortable and good size.

    Minor complaint, would like more towels. Only provided bath towels and one hand towel, wash cloths would be nice. Not walking distance to other restaurants or sites.

    The suite was like home away from home. Super spacious and functional. perfect for a family of 4 or more and value was impressive relative to the price. Beautiful views of Table mountain and the city. Central location - you can reach the VA Waterfront in minutes and the CTICC is just round the corner. TV entertainment was great - lots to watch for the family. Highly recommend.

    Shower in master bedroom drained very slowly and so water pooled while bathing. The drains smelled quite bad in the living room. Wasn't obvious on the first day because of the air freshener but came out stronger in subsequent days.

    Property response:

    Dear Ibiola, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We are thrilled to know that you enjoyed the spaciousness and comfort of the suite, the beautiful views of Table Mountain and the city, as well as the convenient central location. It’s wonderful to hear that the suite felt like a home away from home and that your family could enjoy the TV entertainment and amenities. We do, however, sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused by the slow drainage and unpleasant odor you experienced. This is certainly not the standard we strive to maintain, and your feedback has already been shared with our maintenance team to address the issue promptly. We truly value your recommendation and look forward to welcoming you and your family back for an even more seamless and enjoyable stay.

    Our stay at Rockefeller was memorable. Ashish helped us in having an adjacent room as we booked two rooms and we even had an upgrade. Rooms were very clean and comfortable. Buffet Excellent. Security at the door and concierge were always welcoming ready to help.
