I had an amazing stay! Rooms are spacious, awesome and bed is very comfy. I had a view in my room facing the Petrona Towers, that was fabulous! There is a giant pool that i didn’t get to enjoy, however i enjoyed the gym that is also huge! Staff is very kind and very lovely. Hotel is well located. Walking distance from Petrona Towers!

We stayed in the hotel two years ago and were really impressed, but now a little disappointed. The Club level rooms are a little more expensive but we think the quality is worth the extra expense. The rooms are large well appointed with a large comfortable bed, sofa, and desk. The club level has a lounge which is available all day and serves snacks and drinks at the appropriate time of the day. Breakfast can be taken there, although it offers limited choice so many club guests use the main restaurant, and here lies our disappointment. Previously the hotel restaurant was large opulent with a very wide range on international cuisine for breakfast. This has now gone replaced by the Evolution restaurant, which in my opinion does not meet the required standard. Why? It is really a lobby cafe rather than a restaurant, and is simply to small, guests often cannot find a free table. The restaurant offers a Chinese, Indian and Western food stations as well as a bakery. The arrangement is haphazard with no logic, the Indian station being close to the kitchen in a sort of corridor, it offered three vegetarian curries but no meat or fish options, not everyone is a vegetarian. The choice of local food was also limited, all of which was the same every day. whilst breakfast is not the only gauge of the quality of a hotel it is important, and on this score the hotel fails badly. The staff were as always helpful and friendly although as they were under pressure in the Evolution restaurant they had little time for their customers. There are better situated hotels in KL, and considering the rather downgrading f the facilities next time in KL we will choose another hotel, one perhaps that is not trying to penny pinch…

I stayed here for two nights from 28FEB-01MAR2020 and was really frustrated by the experience. Before arriving I was notified in the Marriott Bonvoy app that we had received a suite upgrade. We arrived and it took well over 10 minutes standing at the desk to get checked in. During check-in no one thanked me or otherwise acknowledged my Marriott Ambassador Status...strange. Then we got to our room and realized that it was not a suite. I assumed that there was some kind of computer error that caused the check-in delay and room downgrade so I called the front desk and explained. They apologized and said they would put us in the suite as planned...but that took 35 minutes. Even though we eventually got into a very nice suite, there were many other problems. The guy who checked us in told us the wrong lounge hours. We had to go to the front desk three times because our keys kept losing access to the club lounge level. Check-out was also slow and seemed inefficient. The worst part of this stay was dealing with the concierge and desk employees in the lounge. My girlfriend and I were trying to book a food tour and requested the staff to help us call a couple of the companies we had found to help schedule the tour. Nobody in the hotel wanted to help us. The concierge just stared at us, hoping we would go away. I'm not sure if he didn't understand what a food tour was or if he just didn't care to pick up the phone and dial a few of the companies we were hoping to book with. The desk staff in the lounge were almost as bad. They said they would help schedule something but ended up making one call and ignoring us for over an hour until we tracked them down and they admitted to giving up. While many of the staff here seemed unhelpful and/or incompetent, it wasn't all bad. The room was beautifully-appointed, clean, comfortable, full of electric plugs, had fast Wi-Fi, and the bathroom was rather luxurious. All the cleaning and service staff were excellent. The main breakfast was fantastic. They've got a world-class buffet breakfast. The club lounge was also excellent as far as food and drink offerings go...just don't ask for tourism information. Hopefully my bad experience was a fluke. But it hurt to be treated so poorly, not only as an Ambassador Elite but as someone who stayed at this exact property in the past. I won't come back here. I don't recommend other Marriott Bonvoy Elites stay here when there are SO MANY alternatives in Kuala Lumpur.…

This is an old hotel, but the rooms have been very nicely and recently updated. My friend and i had a twin room that was spacious, with a lounge and work table. plenty of space for hanging clothes and shelves. wonderful 'block-out' curtains. The bathroom was a good size with large shower and full bath and a large round 'light-up' mirror. The pool is huge with plenty of shade and a large bar area. We had access to the the Club lounge where the staff were lovely. Always happy to greet us and make sure we were comfortable. Easy access location to many things, monorail and free bus service across the road, the lrt (light rail transit) station only 5min walk. The staff certainly made our stay memorable for two Aussie ladies and we would happily recommend this hotel.

This is my first time experience check in to Renaissance Hotel Kuala Lumpur. Before this i always check in to Renaissance Hotel JB and i am satisfied with their services. Actually i am quite afraid to check in here at the first place since this hotel was built in 1996 ( Very old hotel ). But when i step inside the hotel lobby, all the feeling totally change. 360 degree. This hotel is really look luxurious with the marble finishing, the chandelier looks very nice and luxury. For your information, this hotel consists of 2 wings ( East wing and West wing ). But one wing have been closed for renovation and will be opened soon. This hotel has a basement car park ( RM10/day for unlimited in and out ). The car park elevator to the hotel lobby was located at the wing that have been closed for renovation. So don’t be afraid if you didn’t see the hotel lobby first when you come out from the car park elevator. Need to make a short walk to reach the hotel lobby. I have been attended by Mr Faizal at the check in counter. He is a polite, friendly and very helpful person. Even though he wearing the face mask ( Covid-19 precaution ), he still trying the best to make me feel comfortable with him. Good job Mr Faizal. Keep it up. My room of choice for this first time experience is Executive Suite with King Bed and Sofa Bed. The room was very spacious. I think can accommodate up to 4 adults easily. This room have separate living room and bedroom with one toilet with wash basin at the living room and the bathroom complete with wash basin, sitting toilet, bath tub and shower room. This means that this room has 2 separated toilet. The air-cond were in very good condition and have enough cooling sensation for this huge room. The air-cond have separated controller ( one for living room & another one for bedroom). Sofa bed also have in the bedroom and at the living room. So for me there is no problem to accommodate 4 adults in this room. There are 2 big screen TVs ( i think 49” or 51” size ) and plenty of channels available at the living room and in the bedroom. Breakfast is at Revolution Cafe at the G level ( same level with hotel lobby). Plenty of food and all of it are very delicious. Cafe staff are friendly with the guest and they always try to make all the dining guests feel happy and comfortable. Good job guys! Overall, i am very satisfied with Renaissance Hotel KL. I am looking forward to stay here again when i need to be in KL in the future. To all staff of Renaissance Hotel KL, good job to all of you. Really love to check in here again.…

Located at the cross junction of two busy roads in the heart of KL, the warming, dark brown hotel exterior welcomed us into a cool, pleasant hotel lobby with grand marble flooring and hospitable staff. Check-in was quick, and complimentary water infusions were available to quench our thirst. The rooms are clean, comfortable and come with both bath and rain-shower. There are toiletries, 2 bottles of complimentary water, tea/coffee facilities and a mini-fridge to chill our own food/drinks which we brought back to the hotel during our travels around town. The usual contents in the mini-bar can be made available at the listed hotel prices if we so wished by simply calling down to the front desk using the room phone, similar with the in-room dining facility. One thing to note is that the headboard lighting on the bed does warm up the bed significantly, and it became too warm for us. Luckily, we noticed this before sleeping, and managed to turn off the lights at the bed area so it got cooler before we slept. We made sure we kept the lights off at the bed area for the rest of our stay. We took advantage of the hotel's close proximity to many areas of interest and walked to KLCC/Petronas Twin Towers, Hard Rock Cafe, and also hopped onto the KL Monorial directly opposite the hotel which took us to Pavilion Shopping Centre, Lot 10, HeliLounge Rooftop Bar and Bukit Bintang, all of which have connecting transportation to other areas of interest. We also enjoyed relaxing at the hotel swimming pool and the swimming pool bar for refreshments. We tried the weekend seafood buffet dinner at the hotel and it was good value for money with sashimi cuts, lobster slippers, big prawns, and a variety of local cuisine showcasing the different Malay, Chinese and Indian dishes. All the dishes were tasty, but we were not too keen on the desserts as we felt they were a little dry, not because they were stale, but because we would have preferred more butter/oil/cream in the cakes. The desserts were all so healthy (lol). All in all, a pleasant stay for the both of us. Will definitely come here again.…

The hotel is in a superb location, close to everything worth seeing and close to district that has pubs/bars etc. All facilities are good, room was spacious and well appointed. All staff polite, cheerful and attentive. The only downside was the breakfast experience, a bit of a rugby scrum, too many people in too small a space. Not sure what the hotel could do to rectify it though. All in all a very enjoyable stay.

Ideally placed for the MTR and the Petronas Towers this hotel offers everything you need. Breakfast is great, both western and Asian on offer. The Club breakfast offers a scaled down version, but is equally as good. Rooms have been modernised in one tower - the other was closed under renovation - but this did not effect us. Huge pool, with ample sun loungers and a good selection of drinks on the pool bar menu . Lots of restaurants within 10-15 walk. Great lobby bar for a night cap. Not just a business hotel, good facilities for the leisure traveller.
