kuala lumpur airport lounge - Worth it?

My friend is going to Austrailia via kuala lumpur and will have an 8 hour stay in kuala lumpur airport on her way back. I thought as part of her birthday present that I might get her a ticket to the airport lounge to have a shower/feed etc while she's there but don't know:

if they are worth it
How to book one
If the one in kuala lumpur is particulary decent

any tips or advice would be gratefully received!

:)

    I went to the airport lounge at Kuala Lumpur on my way to Australia a few years ago. It was the best money that I spent there! I got a shower, as much food as I could eat, plenty of drink, internet access, comfy seats and a call when it was time for me to saunter down to get my plane onwards!

    I totally agree, it's a superb lounge.

    Not sure if you can just pay to go in or how you book it though, as I travelled business class.

    Thanks guys

    is there only one lounge in KL?

    I had a look on executive lounge link above, but they are saying the maximum length of stay is 3 hours for £17.95, do they police this stringently or can I book 2 back to back stays?

    Have been stuck in an airport for about 9 hours before and once you've explored the loos & bookshop twice, there's only so much before you're tempted to plan world domination as a way of relieving the stress :D:D:D
