STAYING THE NIGHT AT TUNE KLIA2 AEROPOLIS HOTEL


16th DECEMBER 2018 ~ Another Tune Hotel near to KLIA2 Airport is the Tune Aeropolis, which is 15-20-minute distance away by car. If you do not have your own transport, free shuttle is provided by the hotel which commutes on hourly basis to the airport and fro. This hotel is cheaper than the Tune Transit Hotel which is attached to the airport building.


However, this place provides the minimum facilities and the room is very small indeed. How minimum, you may ask? The room I was staying was not equipped with a television set, my first time ever. For Muslims, you might have problems performing your prayers unless you want to do it on the bed as there is no space at all to accommodate. There is a musolla/praying room on the basement floor though.

I wonder if this is the first Tune Hotel operating in the country. It is located very near to the old KLIA2 LCCT Airport.


If you are here just to spend the night sleeping while waiting for the time to go out again the next day, then this hotel should be alright for you.

MY KL GASTRONOMIC ADVENTURE - MAKAN RESTAURANT AT TUNE KLIA2 TRANSIT HOTEL


16th DECEMBER 2018 ~ I was actually eligible for the dinner buffet but I would be checking out in just less than 2 hours after checking in at 8:00 a.m. The receptionist was really kind to take me to Makan Restaurant and helped me to get my breakfast instead. The experience of booking the room at Tune KLIA2 Hotel but at the wrong time was not that bad after all. [READ HERE]




The place was spacious but still there were people crowding the area the morning I was there. There were varieties of food to select but it terms of taste, there was still a lot to improve especially the local spread for breakfast.


















I was happy anyway at least I had the chance to have breakfast there once. I have doubt I will be staying at this hotel again in the future.

STAYING AT TUNE KLIA2 TRANSIT HOTEL (FOR A FEW HOURS)


Contrary to other hotels, Tune KLIA2 Transit Hotel is a hotel which accommodates people who want to have a short transit during DAY TIME, as if there is no one who needs to stay overnight to wait for his/her plane the next day. If you still decide to spend a night at this hotel, then the rate is higher than the day stay.


I made a mistake buying a room here as I found the website was quite confusing. Many people have also made the same mistake as I read about this in one traveling group in Facebook. As there was no way for me to get refunded, I still checked in in the morning [16th December 2018] and stayed the room like for about one hour and a half, and then checked out. This should be a record of the shortest hotel stay ever for me. And I got to eat breakfast at the hotel's cafe too. [READ HERE]











words of wisdom























The hotel was convenient as it is attached to the KLIA2 building and within walking distance, which should be a good choice if you want less hassle. However, there is another Tune Hotel slightly further away which offered a cheaper rate. Read about this hotel later in my blog.

EXPLORING DON MUEANG INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT, BANGKOK


20th DECEMBER 2018 ~ This was my second time here. The first time was back in 2016 but I was on a transit trip from Kuala Lumpur to Chiang Rai. So this time I had more time to explore.


Don Mueang Airport was a busy place which connects people to other places, international and domestic. It is a huge place but I think KLIA2 is bigger than this place.








There is a praying room for traveling Muslims at the airport, apart from the numerous halal restaurants. [READ HERE]























It was a nice short stay before flying back home. I will never know when I will be at Don Mueang International Airport again but unexpected thing happens all the time.
