Needs ImprovementDon’t bother if you have Priority Pass. Seats were available, but ‘we’re full and only taking airline customers’.

Lynn •March 2019

SatisfactoryToo many people. Not good selection of food.

Svein-Magne Tunli•February 2019

Needs ImprovementSaw plenty of open seats but they were not letting in anyone without airline reservations. Could be a situation where the lounge is fighting back from the sudden increase in Sapphire Priority members.

Max•February 2019

Needs ImprovementNo Priority Pass accepted when we went at 7 am Sunday morning. Don’t bother. Lounge looks open and space available but they won’t let us in. I don’t know why Priority Pass has this listed.

Ryan•January 2019

Needs ImprovementAs previous reviews not worth paying for. Food is very limited. Too much noise.

John De Rosa •January 2019

Needs ImprovementDirty, old, (ab)used and very limited choice of food. Looks like someone abandoned the place a few years back and now it’s being run by people who try to make the best of it.

Wouter•January 2019

SatisfactoryThey definitely limit Priority Pass access. Seems they reserve ‘peak hours’ for non PP guests. At 9am we were told access for PP was opening up at 10:30am.

Anonymous•December 2018

Needs ImprovementWon't let you in unless a Gold frequent flyer.

Anonymous•November 2018

SatisfactoryWalked 20min to get to the only oneworld lounge available and it was extremely crowded. Only 2 toilets in the men’s restroom with a long line to use them. Nice lounge but the terminal was less crowded.

Kyle •November 2018

Needs ImprovementThey restrict this lounge constantly for Priority Pass card holders.

Joe•November 2018

Worth a DetourNice, modern lounge. Good wifi. We had to wait about 10 minutes to get in. Food was great. Fresh fruit, bread, pastries. Variety of coffees, teas and alcohol. Newspapers in many languages.

Anonymous•October 2018

OutstandingBeing a Priority Pass holder, I wasn’t expecting to get in especially since I arrived at 1000 and there was a line at the door. I got in, though. It was busy but it seemed everyone had a seat.

Anonymous•October 2018

Needs ImprovementThe lounge was about 3/4 full and I was denied entry with my Priority Pass....

Lukas •October 2018

Worth a DetourReally big lounge but still fairly often quite crowded. Comfortable chairs. Good facilities. Fast wi-fi. Plenty of power outlets. Good selection of food items and beverages. Clean restrooms, showers.

Olle Olerup•October 2018

Needs ImprovementClosed to Priority Pass again.

Mark•October 2018

Worth a DetourThe lounge layout is OK, could be improved. The range of food and drinks available is quite basic and limited.

Anonymous•October 2018

SatisfactoryFood very limited but a very nice view. Very crowded. The front desk couldn’t handle LoungeBuddy at first but after a few minutes we were granted access.

Leon•August 2018

Worth a DetourNice selection of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks, inkl. smoothies and fruit juices. Food very limited, but okay. View on runway is good and there is enough space for everybody. Closes at 23:00.

Anonymous•August 2018

Worth a DetourFood selection limited, but OK. Seating is nice, with a view onto the tarmac. Shower is cramped, like a campground shower, but no seat. You get 1 towel, no floor mat. Charge is a whopping EUR 15!

Anonymous•July 2018

Worth a DetourAverage business lounge with a standard choice of drinks. The breakfast is good. From 8am on it's too crowded.

Chris•May 2018

Worth a DetourGood Swissair lounge with excellent runway/apron views. Limited range of food/snacks but replenished frequently and of good quality.

Dave •May 2018

OutstandingThe lounge did not have enough seating for everyone they let into the lounge. When I came, only uncomfortable seats were still available. The food selection is good, but basic and has fast WiFi.

Anonymous•April 2018

OutstandingFrom 8-10am this lounge is at capacity so they denied all Priority Pass holders. The food/beverage selection is good, but runs out frequently especially the alcohol. It’s great being away from gen pop.

Galina•April 2018

Needs ImprovementNot letting Priority Pass members in FYI.

Ryan•March 2018

OutstandingGood basic Dutch food spread with serve your own drinks, plenty of seating when I was there but there is a larger more comfortable first class area roped off. It’s a bit far from the gates.

Jackie•March 2018

Needs ImprovementThis lounge is for departing flights only!! Although no where does it say this. Attendant was very unhelpful.

Michelle•March 2018

Worth a DetourNice lounge, great airside view and food offerings. It's only too bad that its quite a walk from some gates and that you have to pay for showers.

Alexander•February 2018

Worth a DetourLounge was conveniently right after security gates. Accepted myself & my 2 friends on my Priority Pass. Great view of apron. Good food/drink selection. Many types of seating (booths/tables/chairs).

Hova1914•February 2018

Worth a DetourExcellent food and drinks with apron views. Friendly staff and very comfortable seats.

George•February 2018

Needs ImprovementAt 8:00 AM denied access to Priority Pass holders while letting many others go in. Apparently had seats but not for Priority Pass holders.

Anonymous•January 2018

Needs ImprovementEten/snacks zeer beperkt. Wordt slecht aangevuld. Toiletten vette vloer en niet van het laatste uur. Kortom benodigd heel wat verbetering!

Ton•December 2017

Worth a DetourGreat lounge with awesome views.

Anonymous•December 2017

OutstandingGreat high speed Internet, was great to be able to download some video quickly.

Worth a DetourShower worth every coin. I wish they had put a toilet in the shower.

Atwooki •October 2017

Worth a DetourGood lounge and good food. Away from gate though.

Anonymous•October 2017

Needs ImprovementTERRIBLE!!!! In my own honeymoon wouldn't allow me to enter, because they only wanted first class passengers instead of Diner's Club customers. Such an absurd!

Flávia•September 2017

Needs ImprovementRefuses people from credit card partnership cuz lounge is ALMOST full. If they can't handle the compromise they make, they should cancel the partnership with the credit card. Very crappy lounge aswell.

Bernardo•September 2017

Needs ImprovementI was turned away at 8:40am on a Sunday morning due to having a Priority Pass. It didn't appear to be full inside.

Anonymous•September 2017

Needs ImprovementDoorman is rude and yells at Priority Pass holders.

Anonymous•September 2017

SatisfactoryCrowded at 9am. Unhealthy food selection but nice staff.

Michael•September 2017

Needs ImprovementI got rejected at the gate. Priority Pass has no priority.

Yu-kai•July 2017

Worth a DetourGood lounge. Nicely decorated, good food selection, including a Bloody Mary bar! However, it can be VERY far from your gate.

Anonymous•June 2017

Needs ImprovementDenied to enter with the PrPass around 8am - was told to return... after 11am when they will have less visitors ;( People are going out frequently, it's logic to wait but they are denying everyone.

Dmitry•June 2017

OutstandingNice with a decent breakfast and lunch selection. At 11 am - 12 noon it was crowded but one could still find a place to sit. It is better than the average lounge with both hot and cold food.

Glenn L.•May 2017

Worth a DetourI expected a bit more from a large international airport. Internet was terrible, food choice was limited to soup, but it still beats waiting at the gate for 3 hours. Drink choices were great too.

Jonathan B.•May 2017

SatisfactoryBusy, but clean. Average selection of beverages. Crowded too, nothing special for a world class airport.

Anonymous•March 2017

OutstandingOne of the best, all was great, recommended.

Sergiu•March 2017

Worth a DetourIf flying UA to the US, this is your lounge. Crowded at 1100. Decent breakfast and comfortable. 20 minute walk to the G gates UA uses, though.

David•March 2017

SatisfactoryNot a bad lounge. Hit or miss on friendliness of the staff. Upon entry, I was informed several times of a 3 hour time limit and discouraged from entering at least twice as they were busy.

Anonymous•February 2017

Worth a DetourThe simple snacks, basic drinks, and rail liquor and wine are fine. The space is routinely overcrowded depending on the timing of the visit. Shower is clean and warm but not so well designed.

Daryn•February 2017

Needs ImprovementThis lounge is overcrowded. Very very limited food offering. Cheap wine. Coffee machine not maintained to function properly. Surprise any airlines use this. SG has roped off section so they must know.

Anonymous•January 2017

SatisfactorySuper crowded lounge for Star Alliance flights. Hardly a seat left in the entire lounge while a separately cordoned-off area for SQ passengers towards the back of the lounge is completely empty.

Matthias•December 2016

Satisfactory17 euros for a shower on top of the entry. Wifi wasn't working.

Rowan•December 2016

Worth a DetourNice clean lounge....at 6:48 a.m. It is mildly crowded but maintains its quiet atmosphere. Food and drinks are fresh and filling. Would return to this lounge!!

Tamra•December 2016

Worth a Detour3 front desk staff and 2 of them ignore guests checking in leaving only one staff person to check in a growing line. Not impressed.

Arpita•December 2016

Worth a DetourComfortable lounge with nice tarmac views. I did not find it crowded either in the early morning or around midday. Not deluxe but perfectly nice place to while away some time.

Conrad•November 2016

Worth a DetourNice lounge with good food for breakfast, panorama is okay for avgeeks, only few TV screens, newspapers available. It can be crowded as almost all non-SkyTeam airlines are sending their pax there.

Jasiu•November 2016

Needs ImprovementComfortable seating but poor selection of food (as with BA lounge next door) and not a very wide selection of drinks, either.

Steve•November 2016

SatisfactoryVery busy and loud lounge! Not very good to do some work. Go sit in one of the nice restaurants, you will get better value.

Jean-Pierre•October 2016

SatisfactoryNice staff, an airy feel and great design make it a nice place to spend time. The food is fairly snacky though so I'd eat elsewhere if that's what you want.

The Flying Penguin•October 2016

SatisfactoryVery few snacks and beverages, good serviré and space.

Ramiro•September 2016

SatisfactoryJust a few snacks, not great seating, public bathroom outside is nicer. Quite open and busy so can't do any real work/calls etc. Probably better to go to a restaurant instead.

Anonymous•September 2016

SatisfactoryFairly basic lounge, limited and ordinary selection of snacks. Decent range of spirits and mixers. Newspapers for lounge use only.

Deckleff•August 2016

OutstandingQuick and easy and rarely too crowded like the KLM Crown Lounge, which can be a zoo at times. Good alternative.

Anonymous•August 2016

Worth a DetourGood but basic lounge. If you don't have access to the other airline lounges, this one is good to hang around before your flight in a relaxing atmosphere.

Marcel•July 2016

OutstandingAwesome lounge with plenty of snacks and a decent selection of alcohol. Really can't ask for much more. Great place to relax and unwind before your flight!

Garrett•June 2016

SatisfactoryFood selection was small, good pastries. Beer tap available as well as alcoholic beverages. Priority pass members only 3 hours.

Sergio•June 2016

SatisfactoryGood views but that's about it. Free alcohol and a few snacks.

single_flyer•May 2016

Worth a DetourVery nice lounge. Food was limited in range but really tasty. The work going on in the middle of the lounge did not impact (but it was a Sunday), lots of choice to drink. Easy access to power sockets.

Kevin•April 2016

Worth a DetourI couldn't stay long but at least they had bottled water and snacks you could take away. So better than KLM lounge on that front.

Anonymous•March 2016

Worth a DetourAs of today, the entrance is no longer through a construction site. Just go up the escalator and the the elevator and you are there.

Anonymous•February 2016

SatisfactoryIt's too small, and very loud.

Jan•February 2016

Worth a DetourIt's a ways out of the way, but it's worth it for the hot snacks and self serve bar.

Erik•February 2016

SatisfactoryIt's been over a year and the route to this lounge is still under construction. Showers are very expensive (€17.50) and are cramped and lacking amenities. Food limited but good. Views are great.

Liz•January 2016

Worth a DetourAside from it being a bit of a journey due to the airport renovations, overall it's a good solid lounge. Plenty of selection for food and drinks.

Garrett•January 2016

Worth a DetourMuch better than the Aspire Lounge in the Schengen Area.

Patrick•January 2016

SatisfactoryLoving is nice enough. But at 9 am they had coleslaw and pasta salad. No bread. Just an odd breakfast. It was clean but no one came around to pick up dishes.

Rachel•December 2015

SatisfactoryNothing much to eat or drink. Very long walk to the departure area!

Amm•December 2015

SatisfactoryNice lounge with decent space. The restrooms are clean. Nice tarmac view. The food was disapointing.

Sander•December 2015

OutstandingKind staff, yummy savoury pastries, well stocked around breakfast time. Not a wide variety of food, but enough for my liking. And fruit, always a good thing. Outlets all over. Comfortable chairs. View👍🏻!

Tjarda•November 2015

Worth a DetourLoved it. Decent spread for a lounge, and fairly reasonable price tag. Spacious, and great view of the tarmac - a big factor for an avgeek like me!

Aengus•November 2015

Worth a DetourSelección sencilla de alimentos pero amplia en bebidas. Limpio, cómodo y mucha luz (no podrás dormir con facilidad).

Manuel•October 2015

Needs ImprovementUncomfortable seats, terrible food, crowded. Better off waiting in terminal. Only plus is the staff at SQ end were friendly. Overall one of worst lounges in network.

David•September 2015

Needs ImprovementIt's $50/€30!!! Barely any food. Not a great experience.

Béla Molnar•September 2015

SatisfactoryGreat views of the airport and lots of natural light but that is about the extent of the amenities when I visited. Food had run out, children running wild and not a house keeper to be seen.

Simon•August 2015

Worth a DetourModern, light and airy lounge, well laid out with a variety of comfortable furniture. Reasonable range of drinks including a self service Heineken tap. Snack selection was rather limited though.

David•August 2015

Needs ImprovementInternet is appalling - you can pay to upgrade but very exoensive

Richard•August 2015

OutstandingA nice, modern lounge with better food that some. For breakfast that had warm croissants and spreadable cheese. There is an espresso machine and, a Heineken tap, and a selection of wine.

Tiffany•August 2015

Worth a DetourNot such a good food selection as the KLM lounge but not bad. Way better than the previous lounge at AMS. Massive windows offer a great view of the apron. Wifi a bit flaky. Awful music.

James•August 2015

Worth a DetourGreat place. Only suggestion: with such great Dutch cheese and salami, you should provide some fresh bread or rolls.

Ron Man•August 2015

Worth a DetourThe friendly and professional staff kept the place spotless. The windows that oversee the tarmac light the place up. There's a variety of seats. Food & beverages are OK but nothing special. Good WiFi.

StarmieAlliance•August 2015

Worth a DetourOne of the best Priority Pass lounges. Due to construction, it's a haul to get there. Snacks, booze, and nice chairs await. I enjoyed this lounge.

Andrew •July 2015

Worth a DetourVast improvement aesthetically, still not too much f&b offerings, but pleasant for a quick stop & snack/drink.

Kirkwood•July 2015

Worth a DetourJam packed!! But free booze and beer.

Anonymous•July 2015

SatisfactoryVery basic. Crowded. Very little food.

Bill•July 2015

Worth a DetourComfortable & good view of runway. Food is tasty but limited, as seen in photos. Plenty of power points. There is WiFi but very sketchy 3G coverage. Could be bit cleaner - someone collecting plates?

Len•June 2015

SatisfactoryDecent but nothing special. Food is basic. Fast internet for just 1 hour. Chairs are comfy.

Dimitris•May 2015

Worth a DetourPrice is now 30 Euros, 40 including a shower. A modern lounge with a great view of the airport. Snacks are limited, drinks are not. Overall, a very refreshing but pricey way to spend a 4 hour layover.
