Excellent stay overall. Great location with convenient access to nearby malls and attractions. Room was very clean, comfortable, and well maintained. Staff were friendly, professional, and provided excellent service throughout the stay. Amenities were good and suitable for a relaxing and productive business trip. Highly recommended.

Traveling to Malaysia or having an overnight layover? Ditch those hard airport benches! Let me share my experience at Sama-Sama Hotel, the only 5-star airport hotel at KLIA T1.
✈️ If you're arriving on an international flight (at KLIA Terminal 1), whether you need a good rest after a long journey or have an early flight the next day, this hotel is definitely your top choice.
🚗 How to get from Arrivals to the Hotel?
(Includes shuttle service guide)
Please do not attempt to walk with heavy luggage; it's quite a distance (approx. 500 meters).
🛬 Arrive at Level 2: After clearing immigration and collecting your baggage, take the elevator to Level 2.
📍 Find the Buggy Station: Look for signs pointing to 'Sama-Sama Hotel.' The shuttle station is directly opposite the Food Garden.
🚗 Call a Shuttle: There's a dedicated 24-hour free buggy service. Just wait a moment (or press the call button), and a uniformed staff member will drive you and your luggage via an indoor skybridge directly to the hotel lobby in just 3 minutes.
🍳 A 'Food City' Level Breakfast that Amazes the Taste Buds
The hotel's Continents restaurant offers 24-hour service, and its breakfast is renowned.
🥘 A Fusion of Global Flavors: Malaysian dishes (the Nasi Lemak is a must-try!), Chinese dim sum and hot congee, authentic Indian curry with Roti Canai, Thai Tom Yum, and a full Western breakfast spread.
🍰 Dessert Paradise: A wide variety of Western cakes, freshly baked bread, and colorful Nyonya pastries, all visually stunning.
🏨 Hotel Facilities and History
Although the hotel opened in 1998 (formerly Pan Pacific), it underwent extensive renovations when it rebranded as Sama-Sama in 2013. It's incredibly well-maintained and exudes a 5-star quality.
✨ Room Types: Offers 442 rooms, including Deluxe, Premier, and more luxurious Suites. The rooms feature double-glazed windows for excellent soundproofing, and some even offer views of the tarmac.
🏊♀️ Swimming Pool and Gym: The outdoor tropical garden pool on the 1st floor has a fantastic ambiance, and the 24-hour gym is fully equipped.
💆 Sari Kayangan Spa: Provides professional Malay massage services, perfect for relieving flight fatigue.
🍸 Traveller’s Bar & Grill: Features live band performances in the evening, offering steaks and various cocktails in a wonderful atmosphere.
✨ As a national airport hotel, it frequently hosts dignitaries, sports stars (like F1 drivers), and VVIPs attending international conferences.
💡 How to choose a transit hotel❓
✅ Sama-Sama has two properties at KLIA T1; choose based on your needs:
1️⃣ Sama-Sama Express (airside/near Gate C5): No immigration required, suitable for short transits of up to 6 hours, charged hourly, and more affordable.
2️⃣ Sama-Sama Hotel (landside/this review's focus): Requires immigration clearance into Malaysia. Highly recommended for stays longer than 6 hours! Offers larger spaces, more comfortable bedding, and a full range of facilities.👍
Check in is allowed before 2pm
The room assigned was clean & functional
2 big bottles of water provided is plus points.
The pillow & duvet in the room is soft & comfortable
The hotel located beside Esplanade mall is very convenient,easy to get to Watson's , zus coffee , milk tea and some cafe / restaurants .
The swimming pool is nice , the kids love it
The front desk is fast n efficient , answering my questions professionally .
They provide good quality shampoo ,body foam & hand soap
If the hotel can provide some extra TV channel & hair conditioning would be better
Due to the hotel not having gym facilities , U can use gym facilities inside Esplanade mall but they only open at 10am , which is slightly upset for me cuz I don't have the chance to use it because of late opening time .
Overall it was a good experience for my family at the KSL Esplanade Hotel
This hotel is rather old and quiet. The marble design is nice but carpets all need refurbishing as many marks and old stains. Reception staff and cleaner are helpful and friendly. Effective and polite. Beds are nice to sleep in. Parking indoor is convenient with a car park lift but you need to walk about 80 feet indoor walk way from the carpark lift into the lobby /room lifts. For elderly people who can't walk well, it's not so convenient unless you drop them at the ground floor lobby first. Overall ok for a quiet stay. There's a beautiful huge mosque facing some hotel rooms. If you need a quiet sleep, you may opt for rooms without the mosque view. It's on the other side and it's really quiet. There is a small mall opposite of the hotel. A walking distance. Convenient with fast food and local brand clothes. If you are traveling for work or just a quiet stay, this place is suitable. If it's for more happenings around this area, you need to go Concorde KL.
I had a pleasant stay at Bangi Resort Hotel. The front desk staff were especially friendly, welcoming, and very helpful throughout my stay, which made the check-in and overall experience smooth and enjoyable.
The Heritage Room was comfortable and well-maintained. The hotel environment is generally peaceful.
Overall, a positive experience, largely thanks to the excellent service from the front desk team.
Just got back from Sunway Resort and it was absolutely amazing! 🥳 The staff were incredibly welcoming and made us feel right at home. Breakfast was fantastic, with a huge variety of fruits, pastries, and both Western and Asian options – we were spoiled for choice every morning. 🍎🥐
The kids absolutely loved the children's pool with all its slides and water features; it was their personal paradise! 💦 The pool area is really well designed, allowing adults to relax nearby too.
The best part is the direct connection to the shopping mall. It's just a short walk away, making shopping, dining, and entertainment incredibly convenient! 🛍️🎬 It felt like everything was taken care of on this holiday. We'll definitely be back! 💯

Was a very fun places for family with kids. Many places to visit inside the resort but all have to pay for it with no ALL IN combo ticket. N Some are not really cheap.
The room was located with some distance to every places included lobby. Must used buggy to transfer to each place. We were quite lucky that our room quite near to the lobby although need some walking distance still. Waiting for the buggy was quite wasting time. This was exactly like the review mentioned before.
Due to using buggy transfer between the rooms n the lobby, the worst thing we facing was the room card, the key was not able to access. Again have to wait for the buggy back to the lobby to re-validate again. Reconfirmed with the staff confirmed can used after validate, answer was yes! Again wait for the buggy back to room, again failed. That time was 2pm , weather was very hot. This really make us frustrated. Complaint to the lobby , n they are sending the manager came to assisted us. Been trying still not able to working. But they given another card to access the room and let us rest n wait inside the room first upon waiting they settle the card access issue. Good was end up had been settled.
Room : cozy n nice but with many blacks ants. Although it won’t bite, but still feel disgusting. The worst part was the sound proof!! Totally cannot accept because the wall between each room was build by the board or partition but not bricks. Early morning 7am can heard next room switch on the tv. And it was very annoying n make everyone of us can’t have a good sleep. TV not functioning at all. Connect to the WiFi but keep showing no network. Kids can’t enjoy the YouTube when waiting for outing.
Restaurant: so far we tried Korean bbq n Thai restaurant. The taste were good n satisfied. But still too pricey for us. But ok to tried.
Massage : perfect !! N reasonable price as hotel guest. Not bad.
Splash zone : good water park. Indoor but water was cold. One thing dissatisfied was the water park didn’t have towel rental service even for hotel guests. We did not prepared anything. After swimming, standing outside the park n waiting for the buggy were quite tortured as feel cold with windy weather in the evening.
Enchanted Forest : did not met our expectations. Not really worth to visit.
Safari : normal. Not so big. But kids enjoyed it.
Dino desert : many types of dinosaurs. Overall ok if really a dinosaurs fans.
3days 2 nights Juz good enough. If you ask me will still go back again? The answer is : will see… overall was not that bad but oso not that good enough.

Booked a one-night stay because we wanted to fully maximise the time of the Ramadhan Buffet. We were surprised of how spacious Cinnamon Coffee House was! The crowd was huge, but everyone seemed comfortable. The food spread was top notch; we were spoilt for choice! It was also to celebrate my husband’s belated birthday, and he truly enjoyed it.
As for the room, we loved it - especially my daughter who enjoyed the bathtub (since the pool was closed for renovation works).
We requested a late check-out, and was granted. Every staff was friendly and accommodating. Will definitely repeat!
Had a wonderful stay at Espira Kinrara! The breakfast was really good with a nice variety of food and friendly service. We were lucky to get a room right in front of the kids’ pool, which was perfect for our family — the kids had a great time!
The environment was clean, peaceful, and family-friendly. Overall, a very pleasant experience and we’d definitely love to come back again!
This was a room-only plan. The room was very clean, so much so that I felt comfortable walking barefoot. The shower had consistent water pressure and temperature. There's a fridge and microwave, and since it's connected to the neighboring shopping mall, you can store and heat up your purchases without worrying about the rain.
Very Good

WWilliam CWOWe got married here last year and we enjoyed the excellent service, food served in Makan Kitxhen, Tosca, and the buffet for the wedding. Special curations for weddings made it all the more special.
This trip marks our first anniversary and we’re delighted to have spend the weekend here again reminiscing our wedding last year.
Booked through Trip:com and was upgraded to the highest floor compliments of the hotel.
Overall we enjoyed the pool, the breakfast and our time in the hotel. Nothing short of amazing!

NNero0919The service at this hotel truly exceeded my expectations! The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming throughout my stay, and the check-in process was a breeze. My room was spotlessly clean, the bedding was soft and comfortable, and the soundproofing was excellent. The breakfast spread was fantastic, especially the freshly baked bread and coffee – a perfect way to start the day! The hotel's central location is a huge plus; it's within walking distance to the subway and shopping areas. All in all, it offers incredible value for money, and I highly recommend it!
GGuest UserThe hotel service is good and the hotel is very nice. The food ( from the buffet restaurant) is very yummy. The experience is very 5-star. I appreciate staying at Dorsett Grand Subang in Subang Jaya for 1 night. Thank you.
GGuest UserThe location is quite suitable for a quick weekend gateway as it’s around 1 and a half hours from city centre, and pretty close to airport.
Check in was fast, staffs were friendly, but the distance between lobby and room was quite far (walkable distance) thus need to wait for buggy cart to send us to the room.
Room we’re staying was spacious but slightly rundown, and the view are decent enough, unfortunately it’s facing beachside instead of facing towards sea so not much of a view.
Not much choices of food near the resort, there’s some local eateries nearby, and resort restaurants were substandard. Breakfast buffet was fine. Probably can get more local food if you’re willing to drive 15 minutes into the town.
