It used to run under the Renaissance franchise and tipped as the only 5-star hotel in town. Hence locals called it Renai. Now it’s operating under that very name, having severed the operating contract with Marriott Hotel group (owner of the Renaissance franchise).
Nothings changed save for the service. It no longer is run as a 5-star. But the rooms are still above 4-star. Kota Bharu being a food haven, guests dont eat at the hotel restaurant outlets except for the limited buffet breakfast.
The other hotel is more centrally located but this Renai offers better value (in my opinion).
Youre better off booking from the hotel website than the likes of Agoda (unless you are redeeming points).
If you are looking for a true 5 star hotel in Kota Bharu, theres none. This is the closest you get.

Being a regular guest to this hotel with bi-monthly record stay on personal course, I never feel there’s element of appreciation/recognition this hotel ever extended for a loyalist like myself. With just a decent hotel quality and biggest room of improvement on customer service level I was made to understand that my reservation was expired a day earlier (still charged for no show) upon checking-in & admittedly to continue staying on the 2nd night given the bill had been fully paid. However, what really traumatized me was that nobody from the hotel called and reminded me just like how other hotel booking websites do to most of us either via auto-email or SMS. When asking this from front office agent this person kept saying “memang kita tak ada bagitahu (we never provide such info or reminder) as if we as a customer has to be god to know this in past life and be liable when this kind of issue arises. And it really got into my nerve when this unpleasant front office again started to raise voice defensively to reaffirm the fact that it was not hotel’s fault but the customer. It mimicked exactly just like a properly attired but with zero tolerance and courtesy of loan-shark officer threatening you with no available choices.
In short, let’s go back to traditional way of booking this hotel via Agoda, hotels.com or booking.com whenever you feel your stay is well taken care of & be ready to accept discounted customer service quality.

Just a single night whilst touring from Penang to KL the long way around as it were. Only used the restaurant for breakfast, no issues. Rooms good sized and clean, staff pleasant and ample parking outside for our bikes.

This is the first time I went to KB for pleasure, not work. Everyone recommended to stay here. It was easy to see why, it is good; clean and comfortable.
A well-managed old hotel with extension to shopping mall which is a plus.
The price range was a bit on the high side but the rooms make up for it in space and overall efficiency/cleanliness - I mean, I can't remember when was the last time I'm in a hotel where the nightstand button is working.

Booked a one night stay here. Quite an old hotel. Used to be Rennaisance Kota Bharu. Some part of the hotel under renovation. The room is spacious. The mattress not really comfortable. Switch for light in the room spoil. Cannot switch off the main light. Breakfast is OK, not much choice. Location wise is good.
