De-stressing your Long Haul Flight
Kuala Lumpur is one of the busiest central hubs in South-east Asia. If like us you often find yourself passing through Malaysia’s capital in transit to another destination, it may be worth considering a one-night layover. This not only breaks up what can otherwise be a tiring, uninterrupted long-haul trip, it also removes the stress of needing to make a connection on a tight schedule.
Now more than ever flights get delayed or postponed, so a layover gives you the extra security of not missing your ongoing connection.
If you’re looking for a straightforward layover without needing to travel into the city center – or even leaving the airport itself – then the Sama Sama Hotel perfectly fits the bill.
The Sama-Sama is a popular hotel located adjacent to Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA). It is often referred to as the Sama-Sama Hotel KLIA or Sama-Sama Hotel Kuala Lumpur International Airport.
The hotel itself is a large and comfortable 5 star establishment, with a highly efficient staff who will make sure you get to your connecting flight in good time.
Finding the Sama-Sama Hotel on Arrival
Once you arrive in KLIA International Airport and have passed through immigration and baggage collection, it’s only a short walk to the hotel meeting place.
TheΒ Sama Sama Hotel offers a complimentary 24-hour buggy service directly to the hotel from the airport via the Sky-Bridge.
You can find their buggies at Level 2, KLIA main terminal building (next to the Food Court area) and enjoy a short scenic journey along the connecting sky-bridge between the Sama-Sama hotel and the airport.

Seamless Connectivity to City Centre & KLIA2
The Sama-Sama is conveniently located at the airport, but it is relatively easy to travel from the Hotel to KLIA2 (the domestic terminal) or to Kuala Lumpur city centre (or ‘KL’ as the locals call it).
The hotel is strategically located within the airport complex, making it an excellent choice for travelers with layovers, early morning flights, or late arrivals. It’s connected to the main terminal via a covered walkway which is just a short shuttle ride away.
Room Accommodation
The hotel offers a range of well-appointed rooms and suites to cater to your preference and budget.
The rooms are designed to provide comfort and relaxation, featuring modern amenities and soundproofing to ensure a peaceful stay despite the airport’s proximity.
You can get the latest updates on your flight status via the live flight information timetables that can be viewed on digital screens situated at the Hotel Lobby and via the television in your room.
If you have a late connecting flight the following day, arrangements can be made to keep your room for the extra hours you need, usually at an additional cost (this is highly recommended).
Dining Options
Guests can enjoy a diverse culinary experience with multiple dining options on-site. These include restaurants serving local Malaysian cuisine, international dishes, and specialty cuisines.
The Continents is a stylish urban all-day dining restaurant which features distinctive flavours and tastes from the Mediterranean to Asia. There is also the Travelers Bar & Grill which offers wood-fired oven pizzas and cocktails.
Close to the lobby there is a bar/lounge area where you can unwind with a drink.
To help guests relax and rejuvenate, the hotel features an outdoor pool where you can chill out.
