My daughter arrived on her MAS flight from Auckland on schedule at around 8.15 p.m. on Saturday, 13th November…and we would be taking an evening flight back to Sibu the following evening, Sunday, so there was no point going all the way to KL and then making our way back to KLIA the next day for our flight home. Besides, I wanted to let my daughter have a really good rest after her long day flying from Wellington to Auckland and then to KLIA.
So I booked a room at the more affordable hotel near the international airport – the Concorde Inn KLIA…
The rates are comparatively cheaper than even the smaller not-so-impressive hotels in the vicinity of Bukit Bintang in the city. I only paid RM140 nett per night, inclusive of free buffet breakfast for two…
…but that was on my government pensioner privilege. Other people may need to pay more.
Upon arrival, you will be warmly welcomed by these handsome and pretty concierges…
…as you proceed to the reception counter to check in…
Checking-in was a breeze – very prompt and efficient and then you can proceed to your room which is more like a chalet in blocks that they refer to as terminals – in line with the airport theme of the hotel.
These are located over a vast sprawling area, so do request for a room nearer to the main building if you are like me and are not too keen on walking too far.
The names of their outlets are the same as at all Concorde hotels – I know there is one in the KL city centre along Jalan Sultan Ismail and there is another in Shah Alam. There is a little cafe…
…which is probably temporary as the cafe/restaurant – the Melting Pot – is currently under renovation, so they are using one of their function rooms for dining purposes. I had my breakfast there…
…and had one helping…
…and then, another…
…but that was all I had since I was planning to bring my daughter there later for the weekend hi-tea buffet at only RM30++ per head.
I really liked the place with its peaceful easy feeling, away from the hustle and the bustle of the city…
…and there is a swimming pool as well but unfortunately, I did not have time to jump in for a splash. LOL!!!
You can also catch the free shuttle service from KLIA to the hotel or vice versa…
It leaves every half-hourly – very convenient and very comfortable. As a matter of fact, my daughter and I used that to get back to the airport for our flight back to Sibu.
All thing considered, I would want to stay there again…
