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.👍
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.
Worth the price ! I like the room & bathroom so clean. This is my second time staying here. The breakfast spread also good with the price. I like the devil meatball hahahaha will repeat again if i come to glenmarie 😉
Overall, everything was fine. However, the water pressure in the shower was very low, making it difficult to have a satisfying shower. Furthermore, the iron was available, but it was stuck to the ironing board.

Overall it just nearby airport nothing fancy, for the pricing to be honest not really worth it. The room is very simple and need to touch up, at night can hear clearly ppl walk by and door open/close. But for the crew service is good as they always put on a smile and the next day free shuttle service is on time! 7am sharp the bus left already which is very punctual. Breakfast is ok but not much varieties, starts early at 6am.
However I will not stay this hotel anymore.

The hotel is getting old especially the carpets in the room starting to have some smells. The furnitures also look outdated. The lobby and walk way is a bit hot and it’s not preferable especially in such a hot country. Worst part is the air cond in the room is not functioning well. Sometimes it is working fine but sometimes it doesn’t and it happen in the midnight which we felt no air cond at all. Receptionist asked why didn’t inform earlier and I told them it’s not a good idea during midnight when all my kids are sleeping.
Good to have daily free chocolate session but many flies were spotted around the food, it happens to the breakfast buffet too. Good to have free shuttle to airport and Mitsui Outlet but the time is pretty limited and we are forced to spend extra money on grab car.
One thing to note is that if you want to go some where from the hotel no matter how near it is, the starting rate for grab or taxi will be at least RM30 as the hotel is located in the airport zone.
I think the hotel is best for those who need to join the exhibition at its convention centre.
Very clean, double-storey, very cost-effective, decorated in prison style, each room and living room has air conditioning, kitchen facilities are complete, and there is a refrigerator. There is a high-speed rail nearby, and there is a slightly larger shopping mall and many restaurants diagonally opposite (10 minutes walk). The only drawback is that there is no front desk, and you need to go downstairs to communicate with the security guard at the door to communicate with the hotel.
Great

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!
Wwangzai88Just 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! 💯

NNo_NaHad a nice stay at Monkey Canopy Resort. The environment is peaceful, surrounded by nature, and perfect for a relaxing getaway. The activities are fun and suitable for families, especially with kids.
However, the resort is quite far and isolated. There are limited stores inside, so it would be better if more shops or even a small shopping area were available.
Also, the ticket price for accessing all attractions is quite expensive, especially for locals. More affordable packages would definitely make it more worthwhile.
Overall, it’s a beautiful place with great potential, just needs a few improvements to make the experience even better.

Tterence TyCheck 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

GGuest UserFew years back, it was stunning hotel I ever stayed. The last trip I went was disappointing when the hotel started to run down with the mouldy smell from the room itself, saw all wiring was in dust, coffee machine wasn't well maintained. Air conditioning not cooling enough cause me and my kids have a sleepless night. The next day, breakfast wasn't reaching expectation. The quality is going down, croissant hard as rock, thosai like mud, the nasi lemak sambal was over spicy, until they regain all the standard, I will not returning.
