Tune Hotel KLIA-LCCT to Close; Tune Hotel klia2 to Open 9 May.

After five years of providing affordable hotel rooms to passengers of KLIA’s Low Cost Carrier Terminal (LCCT), the Tune Hotel KLIA-LCCT will close down effective 9 May 2014, giving way to a brand new, 400-room Tune Hotel klia2 that will open on the same day.

 Tune Hotels core proposition is to offer a great night’s sleep at a great price. All of the Tune hotels feature space-efficient, streamlined rooms focusing on high-quality basics: 5-star beds and powerful hot showers. Though minimally priced, the strategically located hotels provide housekeeping services, electronic keycard access into rooms, extensive CCTV systems, and no access into the main lobby without a keycard past midnight. A ‘pay as you use’ system is in place for optional energy-consuming amenities.
 Tune Hotel klia2 is directly connected to the new klia2 terminal via a covered walkway and link bridge. A short 10-minute walk is all that it takes to get to the terminal, allowing easy and convenient access to check-in counters as well as the Gateway@klia2 shopping mall. READ MORE HERE and HERE.
