Sama-Sama Express KLIA Terminal 1 - Airside Transit Hotel

We arrived off a domestic flight around 9pm and flew out the next day on an international flight at 9.15am so our overnight stay at Sama Sama Express was all about convenience. It was easy to locate and the checkin process was efficient. The room was on the smaller side and I think it was a double not queen bed however me and my partner both slept well and enjoyed our short stay. The only negative was the plumbing was super noisy when people in nearby rooms showered and turned on taps however it was intermittent and we still managed to get a decent nights sleep. And they no doubt heard the same noise when we used the bathroom.

The location is good, as it's conveniently located inside the Satellite Terminal Building.

The hotel is perfect if you need somewhere to stay while in transit - it is well signed. The room was quite compact - but I had everything I needed. The shower was good and hot, while the bed was extremely comfortable. Good size TV on wall. There were new toothbrushes etc, hairdryer, tea/coffee. There is a bar and a self-service restaurant serving fairly basic, but quite edible, food in the hotel, and the staff there were helpful. Breakfast can be included on some deals, which I hadn't realised. I actually needed my room for 14 hours instead of the 12 I had booked, and paid for the additional hours at check in.

Very easy to reach from when you step off the plane. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Food was great. Buffet served throughout the day and night. Easy check in and check out process. Would highly recommend. If your luggage is not being checked through a transit flight then make sure you have what you need during your stay in your hand luggage as you wont collect your luggage until after passing through immigration. Once you pass through you will find your luggage with whichever airline you travelled with

Extremely clean & comfortable and a great place to stay to break up a long haul flight. The hotel is easy to find on the airside of KL airport and the check in process was quick and easy. The staff were very friendly, helpful and professional. Only slight downside was the noise from water pipes in the adjacent unit and people coming and going all the time - but that is to be expected in a transit hotel and we still managed to get a good few hours of very welcome rest.
