Before my flight to Australia, I spent one night at the Tune Hotel KLIA, a very short distance from the Low Cost Carrier Terminal.
I booked the hotel in order to obviate the need for a very early start from my city hotel.
The hotel was very easy to find and included free parking for my rental car. This, along with the convenient location for the airport, was a deciding factor in my final choice.
I booked a single room, which was tiny but included a single bed, an en-suite shower and toilet, and a small breakfast table which doubled as a desk.
My room opened out onto an open air walkway, from where I was able to watch the planes coming in to land. It was also a convenient place for a crafty cigarette.
There is a small cafeteria style restaurant at the front of the hotel, offering oriental dishes, most of which are priced around $4 or £3.
Breakfast the following morning was picked up from reception and consisted of chicken sausages, potatoes, turkey cold cuts, scrambled egg, baked beans and bread.
A shuttle bus to the airport terminal is offered, but I didn’t use this as I still had my rental car.
Overall, I was very pleased with my stay at the Tune Hotel.
It is a very basic hotel, aimed at travellers spending a short overnight layover, who just want a basic meal and a few hours of sleep. It served this purpose very well.
The room was spotlessly clean and very quiet, and the hotel had everything I needed for a one-night stay.
For the price of $22 or £17, including breakfast and WiFi, this is superb value. I would not hesitate to book this hotel again for a flight layover.
