people found this review helpful

I stayed at The Ritz Carlton KL from 27th Jan 2012 for six nights.
I arrived at 8:30 am, they gave me free breakfast while I waited under
an hour for my room (normal check-in 3pm) The room was large and included
a Large comfy bed, sofa, armchair and large unit with vases etc and large flat
screen TV, an area with desk, chair and wardrobe and a large bathroom, with separate
WC, walk-in shower and bath.
Excellent breakfast with very attentive and friendly staff.
The position is central for shopping and restaurants, cheap taxis for all other visits.
I will return!!

“very convenient location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 January 2012

person found this review helpful

I went to K.L. with family for 5 days and it was our 1st visit.

The hotel enjoys a prime location of being right in the middle of all the action. Premier shopping, dining and entertainment outlets are just a few steps away from the hotel.

The hotel offers everything, as free WiFi, swimming pool, luxury spa, breakfast buffet, and other facilities.
Rooms are very clean, staff are very friendly, services provided by the hotel are convenient, but the value is a bit high compared to other Ritz Hotels in some other countries.

I recomment "The Ritz" for couples, families, or business travelers.

“Holiday in KL”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 January 2012
1
person found this review helpful

I was traveling with my children and wife for new years to KL, it was my first visit to KL and had no ideas about the hotel or areas to select for a hotel.Therefore I went with a suggestion of my friend and selected the RITZ CARLTON. I got a good deal on the rooms and paid a minimum upgrade charge which was worth the price. The location of the hotel is perfect it is situated behind the westin hotel and is very close to pavilion mall , it is also connected to JW Marriott which makes its easier to get to the pavilion mall. We stayed in the Executive Deluxe room which was of good size but looked very old, the bed and sofa in room need a change. I had several issues in the room like the bed wasn't comfortable not firm at all, leakage in the bathroom , air conditioner going off in the middle of the night and once the shower head flew off. But the good part was all theses issues were addressed by the staff and would like to thank them, I think the staff of ritz are FANTASTIC they addressed to all our grievances promptly and with a smile, i believe they are the reason why this property is running.I think the rooms need a bit of make over too. The Pool area is very good and beautiful but not for children. The hotel is not for family as there is limited activities available for children. The JW is a good hotel and has a good pool for children. The lower level of JW has a place called as "FEAST VILLAGE" which has multiple restaurants and different cuisines. The good part is that all facilities of JW can be used by the residents of RITZ. In all Ritz is a good hotel for business or couples but for family would suggest the JW or Westin. The only reason i would go back to the ritz would be for the service, the staff are very helpful and polite.

“Feel pampered with great service”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 January 2012

The hotel facade/entrance area wasn't outstanding. I mean it doesn't befit a luxury hotel appearance. (probably space was a problem as the hotel is located in the midst of a very busy part of KL ie The Golden Triangle District of KL). I was also a little disappointed we were charged RM10 to park our car even though we were hotel guests, which I think should be free.The reception area looks nice but there are hardly any seats for family members while one is doing the checking-in as the lounges are in a separate area not within visibility of the reception area. Other than these, I think the hotel is great! All the rooms come with butler service, where we can order any beverages at any time of the day to be taken to the room at no extra charges. The hotel furnishing and fittings are classic and extravagant. The paintings hung on the walls are very beautiful and the service is great. The staffs are trained to be courteous to the guests and you feel pampered off course.
For foreign tourists who'd like to see the bustle of KL city life and do some shopping, or try out Malaysian cuisines, the location of this hotel is ideal as you just have to step out of the hotel. Of course don't expect a resort-like atmosphere here.I have posted more photos and reviews in my blog. Do visit it at anythinglily.blogspot.com

“A very good hotel but value for money..!!!”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 January 2012

people found this review helpful

I am frequent visitor to KL and it was my first stay there. The hotel is old with a small reception but otherwise it was a good stay.
Compared to other cheaper hotels like Traders or Prince which is nearby.. I would say that value for money is not that great when you stay at Ritz-Carlton.
