“Special couple gateway - The Rockefeller really rocks.”

Oct 29, 2026Rosemary L

We recently stayed at The Rockefeller by Newmark during a quick couple gateway. The location is excellent—easy to access and conveniently situated, making it ideal. Grace & Zube at reception are the smiles of the house, nothing much trouble to assist. The Rockefeller has a special vibe ✨️ , we felt so comfortable everything was thougt to make our stay personal & tailor made, even some nice surprises as roses, personal notes... And behind a great GM Morne who we thank for making it super special. We cannot wait to be back soon with our sons.

“A Stylish Modern Hotel with Friendly Staff, but Room for Improvement”

Oct 21, 2026Jessica W

We had a good stay at The Rockefeller and really liked the hotel's overall style. It has a cool, modern feel, and our room was nicely furnished with a well-equipped kitchenette that impressed us. The doormen were particularly friendly and welcoming, especially Hervé, who was lovely. As we were celebrating our honeymoon, we were pleased to receive a honeymoon plate and sparkling wine on check-in, which was a thoughtful touch. However, we were disappointed to find that building work was taking place and our room had scaffolding across the window, with a view directly onto another hotel. Given that we had mentioned it was our honeymoon, this was disappointing and took away from the experience a little. The hotel was also very busy, particularly at breakfast. Although the breakfast itself was very nice, the service and organisation could have been better. The coffee machine was often out of water, the orange juice ran out, and glasses were sometimes unavailable. There were also tables with uncleared plates that hadn't been reset for the next guests. These details made breakfast feel a little chaotic at times. We also ordered room service from the restaurant. The service was good, although we found the food fairly average. Overall, we enjoyed our stay thanks to the modern rooms, welcoming staff and good breakfast. However, the building work and the lack of attention to detail during busy breakfast periods meant the experience wasn't quite as polished as we'd hoped. With better communication about the scaffolding and more attentive breakfast service, it could have been an even better stay.

“Amazing experience with a tiny upset”

Oct 20, 2026Jill A

I had a lovely experience staying at the Rockefeller Hotel. My husband and I celebrated our 1st Anniversary over the weekend. We had warm welcomes from the porter, and the guy at the door, helping us with our luggage from the uber, even the lady at reception where I checked in wished my husband and I a lovely stay and wished us for our anniversary And we were welcomed by a cute cake wishing us well on our Anniversary with compliments from the general Manager Morné Visser. The food was amazing, as breakfast was included as part of our stay. However I just did not appreciate after checking out when we left the place, a lady at the reception table shouted at the man who welcomes you at the door, as he helped us with our luggage to the uber, which room we were in, as if we left without checking out.
