Sama Sama Express was an ideal place for my layover of almost 14hrs. The transit hotel is located in a convenient spot of the Satellite terminal. The room was clean, quiet and close to the aero train and bus for an easy transfer to the Main terminal gate G from where my connecting flight departed. The staff were welcoming and I got the much needed rest before my next flight. Would highly recommend this property for a long layover at KLIA.
