Rockefeller is nice but I would not recommend it due to the poor location, constantly busy restaurant, unruly guests and lack of cleanliness in some of the facilities.

Very nice modern, clean hotel with comfortable room and very friendly and helpful staff. Restaurant a bit hit and miss in terms of prompt service but the food was generally decent (the tuna was excellent, the chicken burger was a disappointing mess that fell apart). Decent wine list and the breakfast buffet was good with plenty to offer varying tastes.

Clean room with all the necessary ammenities. Pretty quiet, the only main noise would be the aircon or people walking past in the corridor. I ubered to the different places and back each day to ensure safety rather than walking from the hotel. I didnt use the gym or the pool, but both looked great and u was able to take a shower in the gym bathroom before my late night flight. Very safe as a solo female traveller.
