Two Star Hotel

I was booked into this hotel as part of a trade mission. The bedroom floors and bed rooms are at least five years past a refurbishment with dirty carpet, etc. There was a water leak on my corridor - instead of fixing it a duvet was thrown over it - when I left the hotel the water had been leaking at least three days and nothing had been done. I had a business meeting with a prospective customer and he complained that the reception staff had been rude. I travel extensively and this is the worst hotel that I have stayed at - definitely not five star possibly two star. It is interesting that there was no feedback form and when checking out I was not asked if the stay was pleasent.

Compared to newer, better, hotels in KL the hotel is varstly over price.

Will most certainly stay here again

Stayed here last month for 10 days in a de luxe room in the west wing and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The staff are friendly and efficient, the facilities really good and we would definitely recommend to friends and other VT members. The rooms are huge and the beds very comfortable. I like the fact that the aircon is adjustable in room. The walk in shower is excellent, much better than climbing into the tub and if you want to pamper yourself spend some at their Manadara Spa it's heaven on earth and I was spoiled for choice when I saw all their treatments. Yes it's more expensive than BB but worth it. The fitness centre is well equipped, the changing rooms are spotless and the equipment in good condition. The pool is lovely and absolutely enormous and caters to all ages with a couple of small paddle pools for the little ones. It's surroundings are well tended and the pool bar staff really attentive. Breakfast was a buffet as usual but a much wider variety than I have seen in a long time with options for all tastes, asian and western, full on breakfasts or just continental. Its situation within KL is also good. The Bukit Nanas monorail station is literally across the street. Dang Wangi LRT is a 5 minute walk along the street in one direction, MTC 5 minutes across the street in the other direction and a 10 minute comfortable walk to Petronas Towers and KLCC- really well positioned to be convenient without being amidst the hustle and bustle of BB. All in all a really well run and comfortable establishment and I cannot fault any aspect and although I have no experience of the east wing, we will definitely stay here again.

Unique Quality: Where do I begin when everything is so well maintained and attractive. I think the pool would actually be the most outstanding feature for me. It is the largest and most attractive pool I have come across at a city hotel.

Good Location

I stayed in this hotel 4 nights, I was located in the east wing, 5th floor.
The lobby and the staff in front desk are ok. The room was a little dirty, but with a great
view of the pool which is in 4th floor. Ofcourse we hadn't the view of KL twin towers from our room.
The pool is very nice surrounded by palm trees.
The breakfast was excellent.
The hotel is near to KL towers, Menara(Telecommunication Tower) and also monorail station
which takes you to Bukit Bintang street.

Unique Quality: Good Breakfast
Great Pool

Great Kuala Lumpur Hotel

With about a dozen Aussie guys in KL to watch the 2009 MotoGP.
This was a great place to stay. With nearby nightlife.
The Mezzo bar and live night music had a relaxing atmosphere, albiet smoking permitted.
Great concierge service.

Unique Quality: The pool was excellent.
*Friendly guests there, I truly wish I'd got contact details to catch up, but didn't!!!
Great bar service at the pool bar and helpful with our unique cocktail requests.
My room had views of the three KL towers, a very memorable experience :)
Very convenient location.

Good hotel centrally located

I recommend Renaissance at corner of Jalan Ismail and Jalan Ampang. It's near to Petronas tower where you may do shopping and there are a lot of restaurants (muslim, indian, italian and so on. It's near to Kl tower where there is a revolving restaurant with stunning view of the town (book in advance!!!). This hotel is also near to metro station Bukit Nana. Above all the staff is efficient and helpful for reservation, taxi and so on. I chhosed a deluxe room: nice and spacious. Breackfast is good. There are a lot of restaurants very expensive. Room service is good and efficient. Fine swimming pool. Wonderful view of KL tower at night.

Unique Quality: Centrally located and next to KL tower and metro station.

Best City Pool

Stayed at Renaissance regularly. Friendly service, excellent amenities. It has a West Wing and East Wing and the East Wing is lower priced but the standard rooms do not have a bath. The hotel is under going some improvement/renovations currently.

It is in the city but not at the centre of the hustle and bustle in Bukit Bintang. It is a short hop to the monorail which will take you to Bukit Bintang. It is 5 min from Jln P Ramlee where loads of bars and clubs are located. Also 5 min walk from Zouk's and about 15 min from KLCC/Petronas Twin Towers.

I would recommend the club floor/executive rooms for those with a slightly higher budget, the cocktails in the evening provide a pleasant start to the night life nearby.

If you are a regular traveler, get to know about their wine dinners, an excellent way to sample gourmet food with fine wine at reasonable prices.

Unique Quality: The pool is about the best in KL. Olympic size, on the 4th floor and surrounded by palm trees, you would not know you are in fact in the centre of the city. Its weekend bar b q's are great too.

Ask for the twin tower view rooms to get great pics of the towers at night

Views A-plenty!

This is a great hotel in a very good location. Stay in the cheaper part of the hotel for great views of the Petronas Twin Towers.

Would definitely recommend this hotel for visitors to Kuala Lumpur.

Unique Quality: Great views of the Petronas Twin Towers. Good location with easy access to the monorail.

Renaissance Hotel Kuala Lumpur

by about2travel

Hi,
My husband and I are planning another trip to Malaysia in September. Unfortunately he became ill on our last trip so we are planning another trip to catch up on what we missed. We stayed at the Shangri La in KL in a Horizon Club room. This time around we are thinking of trying the Renaissance KL and would like any advice on whether it's worth paying the extra $45 a night to get the Club room? From what I can understand both come with buffet breakfast and since I'm not really bothered about the afternoon teas etc. is there anything else I would expect from booking a Club room as opposed to a Deluxe? Any comments re this hotel would be greatly appreciated. I wait with interest for your comments, good or bad.
