Called the Sama Sama now - they have also added an airside hotel, and one in the new Low Cost Terminal. I worked out it was my most stayed at hotel in the world (in terms of number of visits rather than length of stay) mainly due to always having to catch the daytime KUL-LHR MH flight.
Again I would say it comes down to destination - for example if it was Bali i've flown numerous times via KUL with a 3 hour connection via the low cost terminal knowing the worst case scenario is shelling out about £100 on a new MH / Air Asia flight, or Singapore for Jakarta due to their being a flight about every 30 minutes. And i've never missed my onward flight as buying a replacement tends to be cheaper than a night at an airport hotel (well, at Changi anyway!).
But if you were flying to say, Tioman, or somewhere with 3 flights a week, the advice would differ.
