Capsule Transit KLIA2: Perfect for Layovers
Here are some tips for sleeping at KLIA2 during layovers or overnight stays.
KLIA and KLIA2 are separate terminals, but they are connected by the KLIA Ekspres train, which takes just 3 minutes to travel between the two.
During my stay at Capsule Transit KLIA2, I enjoyed a quiet and restful sleep.
The airport transit hotel is conveniently located on the lower ground level of KLIA2, so you don’t even need to go through the Gateway@KLIA2 mall if you arrive late at night.
This makes it an ideal option for frequent flyers, early travelers, and backpackers.

A Capsule Hotel with Everything You Need
Capsule Transit KLIA2 offers a unique experience of staying inside a container-style capsule.
It’s an excellent choice for solo travelers looking for affordable, clean, and private accommodation.
I was exhausted after my previous flights, and the comfy bed at Capsule Transit was a lifesaver.
The bed, pillows, and duvet were soft and welcoming.
During my 6-hour stay, the check-in process was smooth, and the staff were friendly.
I received an amenity bag with a towel, dental kit, slippers, and complimentary drinking water.
The shared bathrooms were clean, and the lightning-fast Wi-Fi allowed me to stream movies before dozing off.
If you’re planning a layover, it’s good to book in advance as Capsule Transit tends to fill up quickly, especially when there are many early morning flights.
