Kuala Lumpur Airport Layover π¬π£π« The Sama-Sama Hotel
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.

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).
