What travellers are saying
- Matthew JWarrington, UK400 contributionsWe used KLIA Expres to travel between Kuala Lumpur International Airport and KL Sentral.
I found this to be a really efficient train service. The trains to and from the airport are pretty frequent and there is a departure board on each platform, so you know how long to wait for your next train. We found all the KLIA Ekspres staff located at the stations to be very friendly and helpful when helping us navigate the train service.
The trains themselves are perfectly comfortable and the service between the airport and KL Sentral is only 30 minutes (if you are able to catch a direct train), which I think is excellent.
KL Sentral is connected to lots of other train lines so if you are visiting for the first time, this will probably be a useful interchange station for you to get to from the airport.
Overall, this is probably the most efficient way to get between the airport and the centre of Kuala Lumpur. I would highly recommend using this train service!Written 24 August 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

About 3 ringgit and about 15 minutes ride in an air conditioned train take you there. Might be a problem if you have heavy luggage. Sometimes quite crowded train, then the Aircon will not work as good. You buy a token as a ticket by cash machines , only small bills and coin usually works.Written 19 April 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Dan LBunbury, Australia8,538 contributionsTwo beautiful old buildings, the Railway Building and Railway Station, relics of a bygone age and now the office of Keretapi Tanah Melayu Berhad. Built in 1910 and 1917 to designs of British soldier/architect, Arthur Hubback, in the Moorish architectural style popular during the period. When first sighted, I assumed I was looking at a mosque with the ornate facades, domes and minarets atop the buildings. Its a shame that the buildings have not been converted to museums as available information is descriptive of the mix of architectural features and styles that adorn the inferiors. Unfortunately, the exteriors require some TLC, the deterioration of the structure very noticeable in places.Written 3 April 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- LeonhknyHong Kong, China21,440 contributionsMalaysia's railway service offers a limited network at the western side of the Malay peninsula. The ETS, or electric train service, is the fastest option to travel in the country. The ride from Ipoh to Kuala Lumpur is smooth, comfortable and on-time. Price is cheap but speed is relatively slow in Asia.Written 21 January 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
