"toilets were a disgrace"

(United Kingdom)

Trip Verified | Air China Business Class Lounge at Beijing Airport, Terminal 3. I had a 4 hour layover here, and have to agree with other reviews - it was not a very pleasant experience. Busy, noisy and untidy. The seating was comfortable, and towards the evening, it got quieter, so was able to move to a less busy area. For an airline so big, the lounge capacity was so small. The dining was disappointing. Apart from a very small section of Chinese Dim Sum, the other food choices, it looked unappetising. There was plenty of beer, a few wine bottles, but no spirits to be seen. The toilets were a disgrace. I could not believe the toilet doors were so bad, there was about a centimetre gap between rickety old doors, and you could see the person inside the cubicle! The urinals were not clean. No shower facilities either. On my return flight, I had a 8 hour layover. I chose the Air China Transit Lounge (which you can book online). Even at 6.30 in the morning it was fairly crowded, with weary looking passengers huddled up trying to get some rest. I had requested a 'sleeping room', and got one almost immediately. But entering it I did not feel comfortable. There was a crushed pillow and duvet on the bed, and felt that someone had just moved out and the bed linen had not been changed. It was an old worn out room, with TV (local channels), table, stool and wash basin, with no towels or toiletries, but with a hair drier. I was tired but just could not lie on this bed and moved to the lounge area and rested there. Taking a shower, was not an enjoyable experience either. The floor was wet, bin had not been emptied, and the wash basin had not been cleaned either. The towel floor mat was dirty, but forced myself to shower just to freshen up. Soon after, I left that lounge and went back to the regular Business Class Lounge. There was hardly any room, as it was nearly lunch time. Crowds had arrived with a near stampede for food! Tables had to be shared. Leftovers were not cleared. Seating was either occupied or used for dumping hand luggage. Fed up, after a quick coffee, I left the lounge and found a quiet seating area far away, nearer my gate, and waited for my flight back. Both these lounges are badly maintained.

"Shabby lounge, overcrowded"

(Thailand)

Trip Verified | Shabby lounge, overcrowded, few sockets, many of them worn out so that plugs fall off, very limited food choice, wine hidden away at the far end of the lounge, miserable internet, reception people who never were told that smiling is not a crime.

"3rd Party Lounge run by SASCO"

(Vietnam)

Trip Verified | Visited the Le Saigonnais lounge on 3rd January 2019 in the middle of night prior embarking Air China to Peking departing 05:40. Newly opened 3rd Party Lounge (run by SASCO) in SGN Saigon International Terminal, T2. Opened only for a month and a bit hard to find as the signboards are not updated. Nice decor, inspirational, clean and good stocking of hot foods – found about 7 different kinds. Drinks offered are mainly local. No champagne or sparkling but 4 red-wines present of which only one is drinkable (ex. Chile). 3 brands local beers and loads of soft drinks. This is a better and bigger than the Rose lounge hitherto offered. A nice surprise with OK facilities, showers, and superfast WiFi, and nice tarmac views overlooking the aircraft.

"lounge wasn’t impressive"

(United States)

Trip Verified | United Airlines uses the Air China lounge at T3, Beijing Capital Airport. First of all the views are on the tarmac which are pretty nice and it’s quiet. However the breakfast buffet closes after 1000 AM so as we arrived afterwards there was just some dumplings and packaged crackers and other snacks and there was no coffee, only tea. There was a bar but no bartender and the WiFi did not connect. We found a little area like a gazebo so that was good but overall this lounge wasn’t impressive.

"The worst lounge"

(Malaysia)

Not Verified | The worst lounge I have ever visited. There was no coffee and breakfast selection was simply awful. It is clearly not up to standards one would expect as a member of Star Alliance

"disappointing very tiny lounge"

(Germany)

Trip Verified | Very disappointing very tiny lounge at Tianjin Airport. Poor Wi-Fi connection. Poor food and beverage offer and no bathrooms. Responsible person did not care and just occupied by her smart phone. It is better to sit outside at the large waiting halls.

"a little bit disappointed"

(Germany)

Trip Verified | I admit that i was a little bit disappointed. I was expecting more food choice with higher quality, like I am used to from other Asian airlines. The lounge was spacious (two levels) with very comfortable furniture. The overall design is fair and not exceptional.

"a pleasant atmosphere"

(Thailand)

Verified Review | This lounge at Chengdu Airport is a comfortable venue with good service and a pleasant atmosphere. It has a limited selection of both hard and soft drinks, but serves hot Chinese food throughout the day. It also offers some reading material in English. A nice touch that has recently been added is a corner of the lounge reserved for traditional Chinese tea service - complete with classic Chinese table and chairs and a server wearing a qi pao all of which adds a touch of class to the ambiance of the lounge.

"Dirty, under-cared facility"

(Japan)

Verified Review | Dirty, under-cared facility at one of world's busiest airport. While transfer took surprisingly short, I got plenty of time to wait for my connecting flight to Frankfurt from Tokyo. I thought spending 3hrs at Air China's business lounge would be a good option; but I was unfortunately wrong. Carpets, sofas and reclining sofas were all dirty. Food did not taste like one. Broken display monitor, reclining sofas outside the lounge area (e.g. in front of Gate E2) are a lot cleaner and comfy that those for priority passengers.

"Food can be improved"

(Japan)

Air China business class lounge at PEK terminal 3 for business class and Star gold passengers. Sofas are comfy enough, and plenty of them. Food can be improved, especially during midnight hours. They only have soft drinks, crackers, sieuw may and meat buns. No beer, no western wine and alcohol. Staff's English can be improved as well. A couple of non-Chinese speaking passengers took ages before they clearly understood instructions how to connect their phones to WiFi, explanations that the bar is self-service etc.
