I had a very decent stay this round. Room was still clean and this time we did not have to wait for long at the hotel lobby (also we checked in fairly late at night this time). We love that this room came with a proper vanity/work desk that hub could still work during our staycation. The toilet was also clean and spacious.
The pool was quite empty, thus it was really nice to swim in during the morning Unfortunately, the treadmills at the gym were pretty rundown.
Buffet breakfast was relatively quiet compared to our last staycation here because it was puasa month. I am really surprised that there were plenty of choices still and the staffs also top up when certain food ran out.
The location was perfect if your hangout places are in Pj. It’s close to almost everywhere — KD, Ara Damansara, One U etc. Definitely a hotel to come back again ❤️

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.👍
The room was clean but due to crowds, people need to queue for turn. The location is quite far from attractions or city centre but there is a mall with few shops including some fast food restaurants and 7e below.
Breakfast was good with limited choices. Decent and staff very attentive.
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The room was very spacious, clean, and extremely comfortable, making it perfect for a relaxing stay.
Parking was very convenient and easily accessible for customers, which is a big plus. The receptionist was exceptionally helpful, friendly, and professional, always ready to assist with any questions or requests.
Really enjoyed our stay! Friendly staff, lovely room decoration, cake, and biscuits. Special thanks to Arifah and the gentleman who assisted us upon arrival. The kids’ corner was amazing. our daughter had so much fun playing with the balls that she didn’t want to come out. Spacious room with a great golf course view.
The Sunway Resort Hotel in Kuala Lumpur was an amazing experience, highly recommended! The hotel's location is excellent, with direct access to Sunway Pyramid Mall and the water park. You can find everything you need for dining, entertainment, and shopping all in one place, making getting around super convenient. The lobby is grand and elegant, and the rooms are spacious and clean with comfortable bedding. The facilities are well-maintained, and the overall environment is very relaxing.
The service was warm and attentive; the staff were friendly, and check-in was efficient and smooth. Any requests were handled promptly. The dining options were extensive, with a wide variety of delicious breakfast choices. The pool was clean and comfortable, perfect for relaxation.
It's suitable for both family vacations and trips with friends, offering great value for money. It was a comfortable and hassle-free stay. I'll definitely choose this hotel again next time I'm in Kuala Lumpur. I genuinely recommend it to everyone!
Good place for family with small kids to have gathering here. The playground, waterpark and gokart are indoor, more comfort for the kid to play. There is plenty of restaurant and bistro in the resort. Highly recommended.

We stay here everytime we’re in KL. The room is big and comfortable. The breakfast is a must cos there’s so much variety. The humongous shopping mall just below the hotel is the best part! Shop till you drop and just go up to your room and rest! And if you’re hungry, just call for room-service. The food is great! The lobby lounge is also a great place to relax over a cocktail and listen to the wonderful live singing!
I experienced several issues that were disappointing and did not meet basic hotel standards:
No toiletries were provided, including essential items such as a toothbrush. Additionally, a disposable laundry bag was also not provided.
A dirty towel was left behind the door, which appeared to be from a previous guest. This raises concerns about the thoroughness of the housekeeping service.
The pillow in the room had an unpleasant smell, similar to stale saliva or old drool, making it uncomfortable and unhygienic to use.
As a guest, I expect a clean room and basic amenities to be properly prepared before check-in. Unfortunately, this experience fell below expectations.
I hope management will take this feedback seriously and improve housekeeping and room inspection procedures
Overall stay is satisfactory and convenient. Amenities provided are sufficient. Self check in & check out. Would recommend for a short stay here.
Very Good

GGuest UserRoom was immaculate with good view of the city.
Great pillows. I received a chocolate cake with a birthday wish as my birthday falls in January. That was touching!
The only hiccup was the housekeeping which didn’t top up the tea bags. I called at 8am, they acknowledged but no one came until it’s time for me to check out at 1pm.
Overall, I had a good stay.

TTizaotuixiudejiajiaThis hotel is located about 1.5 hours from Kuala Lumpur. From a bird's-eye view, you're greeted by a beautiful palm tree spanning the coastline. It might be the world's most affordable five-star overwater bungalow resort. The only downside is that the ocean water here isn't pristine, so you can't swim directly in it. The front desk has staff who speak Chinese, so there are no language barriers at all. The hotel also provides electric buggy shuttle services.
While some of the hotel facilities are a bit dated, they are generally well-maintained. We booked an overwater villa, which featured two bedrooms, a living room, two bathrooms, and two balconies, totaling 82 square meters and accommodating up to four people. The infinity pool is probably the hotel's most beautiful spot, perfect for photos. The hotel's coconuts are delicious, and you can enjoy them by the pool with a stunning sunset view.
The hotel breakfast is extensive, offering a variety of local specialties. All three meals can be taken at the hotel. The Western restaurant has a lovely ambiance right by the sea, and the Chinese restaurant serves surprisingly delicious food. The Western restaurant also offers a great setting by the sea to watch the sunset.
On weekends, there's a free and spectacular fire show.
AAnonymous UserOverall, we had a very pleasant stay at this hotel. The bed was comfortable and the room was clean and well maintained. The staff were friendly, polite, and very helpful throughout our stay. We especially appreciated the free airport shuttle service, which was very convenient.
The only small issue was that the air-conditioning was a bit noisy at night while sleeping. Other than that, everything was great. We had a good overall experience and would recommend this hotel.
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.
