Tune Hotel Kuala Lumpur International Airport Review

Mrs. Herbivore, as a loyal passanger of Air Asia Flight got a good deal on Tune Hotel KLIA2 via Air Asia's direct marketing. It's a budget hotel for travellers that want to stay close to the airport in destinations served by Air Asia.

We had heard that, previously, one had to pay extra for basics like air conditioning and towels, but we got an all-inclusive rate at around USD45  for the night.  

As we were scheduled to arrive at midnight, and leave at 7 AM, we thought it was worth a go for a few hours rest.

One of the key advantages of Tune Hotel is that it is a very short walk from KLIA2 - maybe a couple of hundred yards.  It's easy to get to from the bottom level of the terminal (although we later discovered a covered walkway from the second level of the terminal).

The foyer of the hotel was bright and welcoming.  The people at reception were friendly, and there's a shop at the bottom where we were able to buy some snacks.

The room itself was basic and pretty average.  There were scuff marks on the walls and doors, but we thought it was okay for a night's rest.

The bathroom was functional, but a bit smelly.

It was late, and we went to bed.  Then the fire alarm went off.  It rang loudly enough to rouse us from our slumber and get our passports so that we could flee the blazing building.  Then it stopped.  

Anxiously, we opened the door and looked out into the corridor. There was no movement.  We looked out the window.  There was no sign of anyone, and certainly no sign of panicked guests evacuating.

So we went back to sleep.

Then the bells rang again.  Again, they rang for only a short time. Long enough to wake us up - but then they stopped.  Bleary-eyed, we opened the door.

This time, we saw a hotel employee cleaning the corridor.  We asked him what was going on.  He started at us blankly as if we were mad.  We told him we heard the fire alarm, and he shrugged and shuffled off along the corridor - and we went back to bed.

Overall?  An average hotel.  Great location if you are travelling via KLIA2, but not so good for a quiet night's sleep.  Our rating: 5/10.
