The location of the Ritz-Carlton Kuala Lumpur is absolutely perfect , right in the heart of the city, making it super convenient to access shopping, dining, and attractions. The room was clean, spacious, and very comfortable, offering a luxurious stay. The staff were attentive, professional, and friendly, making me feel very welcome throughout my stay. Overall, an excellent experience that I would highly recommend!

I stayed at the hotel during my birthday,I was a little surprised that there was no acknowledgment or small gesture from the staff to mark the occasion. It would have made the experience even more special. Overall, I appreciate the service, but this is a suggestion for improvement

Perfect city spot for an intimate get together.

The two bedroom suite was the perfect setting for an intimate CNY prelude get together with friends. The full size kitchen was a bonus, along with the study meant space was not an issue. Staff were helpful with the set up providing extra cutlery and tablewares for the evening soiree.

A bit dated but well maintained.

Excellent, aside from the pool issue.

Room was luxurious and spacious.

Hotel pool facilities let the property down, one of the two pools was closed for maintenance and the other was shaded and not inviting at all. The hotel staff did offer the opportunity to use the neighbouring J W Marriott pool which was better, but not something you'd expect to have to do at a Ritz-Carlton.

Superb stay!

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay here at RCKL, staff were super helpful and friendly. Our room was spotlessly clean, quiet and calm - a homely feeling. Nice to stay in a furnished room, unlike some contemporary hotels with featureless, impersonal rooms. Breakfast was great with ample choices and no waiting in line.

Elegance in the heart of the shopping district. Suitable for large family to live in comfort

The apartment was so spacious- it was bigger than my home. Large rooms and even a kitchen/ study / dining area etc Location was the best. Right in the heart of the city and shops. Gym and spa was so clean and equipped . The staff were super friendly and attentive. They were able to accommodate our early checkin which made it so easy after an early morning flight. The food was delicious.

Would have been nice to have a washing machine .

Good value for Ritz-Carlton

Good location close to Pavillion shopping mall in Bukit Bintang. Clean, well appointed suite with all expected amenities. Very helpful and professional staff at all levels. Reasonable rates.

Both club lounge and general breakfast restaurant busy, very casual and not relaxing. Lots of people with privileges, including many families with small children. Atmosphere of a hospital cafeteria at lunch time. Dress code of any kind not clearly defined or enforced.

A true hotel experience - exceptional.

Attention to detail is thorough. An expentional 5 star experience - a true hotel. All the nuances you crave are given without asking. Nothing is too much for R.C K.L. The staff exceeded expectation - vibrant & always making sure you feel special. Thank you for making our stay truly memborable. Matthew & Ernest 💕

Gets busy in Club lounge at dinner in peak times. People eat in the foyer when they cant wait for a table. Looks grisley & unpleasant to see. People slopping food on lounges that are not made for eating at.

Everything was luxurious. The rooms are big, bright and clean, the bedding is very comfortable. The location is excellent for tourists, located in the city center in Bukit Bintang, but still in a very calm street. The breakfast was variated and delicious and the staff very professional. Would definitely recommend!
