sorry to revive an old thread
are the nap/slumber rooms still available at Golden F lounge? And is the lounge open for an overnight stay (i.e. 12-7am?).
I do recall being at the MH KL F lounge from 10am-7am once (and sleeping outside because I did not know about the slumber rooms!), but unsure if the lounge hours have changed?

Not sure about the opening hours though. Have never been there past 1am or so.

Does that mean they provide a well timed wake-up call? Have a ~5 hour transit soon, on SYD-LHR, so a 2-3 hour nap would be nice - but I also put that into the "easy to oversleep" category...

I have slept in one of these rooms recently. They are very, very basic indeed, with very limited bedding, ISTR a single pillow and a blanket. This on its own isn't the main problem. The main problem is that there are frequent PA announcements. There is power available for you to charge your gadgets.
I did manage about four hours' sleep on the last occasion during an eight hour layover, but knowing the setup I was well equipped with a noise cancelling headset and ear plugs, and enough clothing to supplement the bedding provided.
Under the same circumstances I would need convincing of a better alternative in terms of convenience especially if you have to spend time going landside to get it.
[I've yet to find a reasonable airline lounge slumber room that's up to hotel standards that a First or Biz class traveller would expect. Qatar is about as good as it gets in its Al Safwa rooms which have an en suite shower, but even these have limitations, no beverages for example, not even bottled water is made available without you making a fuss. The airside airport hotel at Doha is a better choice, there are no PA announcements but even with these I still recommend ear plugs or noise cancellers, but I digress.]

There are also 4 slumber beds in the J lounge, two each for the opposites separated by a curtain. Unfortunately the headed female signs were ripped off. So me and the Mrs, after an early check in, slumbered in the male side, and were provided with blankets and pillows.
