We will be flying in to LCCT from Bali for one night in KL before heading home to Australia the next day. We land at 9:30pm and fly out again at 1:30 the next afternoon, so was looking for a nice, convenient hotel to spend a bit of time in. We don%26#39;t really want to waste time in traffic, so was hoping for something easy, yet nice to spend the last day of our holiday in - was thinking of a couple of options.....
- Stay near the airport terminal (Pan Pacific is a bit out of our price range)
- Catch the express train into the city and stay near KL Sentral
- I heard that Putrajaya is relatively nearby as well..
Any advice? Cheers!
How to kill a few hours - hotel advice?
No express train from LCCT to KL Sentral, you will have to take a cab from LCCT to KLIA and then take the train; but its not really worth the money the amount you pay for both cab and train is going to be almost the same if not more than what you pay for getting to KL Sentral directly from LCCT with a cab.
What if you price range? There are a few nice hotels around Putrajaya like the Marriot, Shangrila and Pullman Putrajaya. The Pullman has got opening rates going for RM 250 on their website

You won%26#39;t have much time to enjoy the pool or the hotel; so stay somewhere close to the airport like at Putrajaya. Hope it helps!
How to kill a few hours - hotel advice?
Thanks for the advice globaltraveller - I%26#39;ve been checking out the websites for the Pullman and the Marriott, and I%26#39;m definitely leaning in that direction....do you know how long it would take to get there from LCCT, and the best way?
Take a cab from LCCT, the Marriot is slightly further than the Pullman, about 20 minutes from LCCT. Most drivers might not have heard about the Pullman yet; so tell them its in Presint 5, convention centre Putrajaya; and print a small map of the hotel (from their website) just in case - its dark and night time when you arrive in Putrajaya.
Have you thought about Jawadene Bed and Breakfast, out near LCCT but might be nice to chill out near the pool for your last half day? Gets great reviews.
You don%26#39;t say when you are arriving, as the Tune Hotel should open right opposite LCCT during April, which would say a whole load of time and money.
The Pan Pacific is nearer and cheaper to get to from LCCT as it adjoins KLIA (the non-budget carrier terminal at KUL). The hotels at Putrajaya are 20mins away, and are very nice, although rather like KLIA/LCCT there is not a lot to do. Getting to the city will take an hour each way on the Airbus, or get over the KLIA via bus or taxi to catch the train - but a taxi from LCCT is probally the quickest.
Have fun whatever.
We hated Jawadene, and if you read recent reviews you will see that others have been disappointed recently too. If the Pullman at Putrajaya is available stay there - Putrajaya isn%26#39;t all that interesting but at least there are eating places, a mall and the botanical gardens. Jawadene is in the middle of nowhere, and if the host is having an off day you will be stuck.
Thanks for all the advice everyone - I think we%26#39;ll most likely head for Putrajaya if it%26#39;s only 20 minutes. How%26#39;s the traffic by the way? Just wondering how much time we%26#39;ll have to allocate to get back to the airport the next day...
We%26#39;ll be there in July, so am definitely interested in reading the reviews on both the Pullman and Tune when they open.
:) Cheers again!
