Tiny lounge for KLM and Air France. In the evening when both flights to Amsterdam and Paris leave within 10mins of each other, people were standing around. Very warm, poor selection of food. One drinks machine and slow internet. I left soon after and went to main terminal to get more space and air.

The lounge is nice, with ample room. The choices of bevarages and food/snacks are OK. Cleanliness is somewhat debatable, as the gents toilets were dirty and with an unpleasant smell. But the policy of internet access was really annoying - you get 30 mins free acess - and that's it. When I asked for another acess card, I was rather impolitely told that there were only one per customer! Arguably you could use your mobile with tethering, but that's also expensive. A better plan for wifi access would be a nice touch.

I have used this lounge for KLM flights to and fro from Kuala Lumpur to Chicago. The lounge is big and spreads out. You can find a comfortable spot. There is a quiet room for those who prefer a nap. The food is not that great, so best to have meals outside the lounge.

Best thing to say about KLM lounges in Scriphol is that they are big. Most other services are mediocre. Biggest of all concerns is the attitude with most of the staff servicing customers : they are constantly sipping coffee and tea which they serve themselves from the same place as customers. When it comes to service they are usually short, rude, and inconsistent (between staff and the two lounges in the airport). I have been coming in the KLM lounges for well over five years, and this is a repeated observation.

Visited the KLM Crown Lounge en route between Manchester and Taipei. First visit was 6pm in the evening and the lounge was quiet with plenty of choice of seats, excellent choice of food and drink and fast wifi. On the way back we arrived at 7am and the lounge was far busier but the choice of food for breakfast items was still very comprehensive although the Wifi seemed a bit slower. I took advantage of the complimentary shower facilities, but had to wait over an hour for my slot as it was so busy, but as we had a long lay over it was no issue for me.

This terminal was under construction while I was there. Its located up stairs and you have to go out of the secure area. Roomy lounge and not crowded with nice view comfortable seating, cold/warm food and lots of drinks of all kinds. 30 min before the boarding time a KLM rep came to escort all passengers to the security point and made it to the gate few min just before boarding and all went very well.

I arrived for a mid-morning flight and huge lounge was packed out. The food and drink area was in a circular design to handle the hordes, but food was not of particularly good quality, and the lounge didn't have a feeling of exclusivity. Much more food on offer out in the terminal itself. Only good point was free wifi and a free drink.

Not impressed with this lounge. At breakfast it was packed to the brim with passengers, and the food on offer was very limited. Old computers, tired furniture, and a hectic atmosphere made me think it would be better to just go outside to one of the many concessions. No elite feeling whatsoever.

This was my first experience with my Priority Pass and I have to say I was very disappointed. Although this is a very small Airport the lounge was no more than a few couches and a magazine or two, no Internet Access was available and the snacks were crackers or cookies in a package along with soda and water. This was all you received for $27 per person! I let Priority Pass know as soon as I arrived home and their response was sorry. In reading some other reviews it seems there are no standard levels of service with the lounges although they all charge the same price for access. I am sure there are some very nice lounges to offset the ones like I experienced, perhaps a rating system would help prevent someone from experiencing what I did.

KLM Crown Lounge is very large. You might find yourself walking quite a distance to reach depending on which gate you are departing from. The front desk staff are friendly and the wifi log in details are displayed at the desk. The seats are comfortable and have plug outlets. The food is actually pretty good. During lunch/dinner time you can get fried rice with chicken curry. For breakfast they serve a lot of pastries and other stuff. They have a large restroom inside the lounge as well as a business center where you can use the complimentary computers.

This is the lounge KLM inflicts upon it's business class passengers (not operated by KLM). It's small with dated decor. There is only one toilet cubicle for each sex. Food looked very ordinary. No wine. So bad, I left and went to the bar opposite - so I could at least still use the free wifi. Please KLM - do a deal with Malaysian Airlines for your passengers to use their lounge. They're your codeshare partner in this part of the world!

KLM/Air France Business Class Lounge in Johannesburg was dirty, uncomfortable and shabby. I had the impression that it is the old Virgin Atlantic Lounge, KLM/Air France took over the old lounge and that was it. They might think it is not necessary to renovate the place, but at the moment it is not the standard of KLM/Air France. During my stay my table was never cleared of glasses or plates. There was nobody to clean the place or to take care of anything.

The Sky Club lounge is marketed by Delta as the ultimate experience -, what an experience. The lounge has no food at all besides crackers. The staff manning the lounge had the manners of a fast food joint, rough, could barely speak English. The culprit is this pathetic experience was that the Sky Club, which was scheduled to close at 1115pm, decided to close at 9:45pm, kicking out everybody. This must be Delta's vision of a business lounge and of customer service. Having flown Delta, here again the service in the air is also similar to the one the ground.

KLM crown lounge in AMS is far below its sister lounge in CDG. Little food to eat, it was lunch time, and poor quality of drinks. My seven year old son was charged 45e to be able to get inside the lounge, whereas he got in for free at Paris. So I paid 45e, so that he could drink a glass of water and have some crackers. KLM staff is rough in the air and on the ground.

A large open plan lounge which feels light and airy but very functional. Seats are comfortable with light and power at the vast majority. The selection of food was limited to nibbles/snacks - snack biscuits, cheese cubes, cheery tomatoes and soup. Not a great deal else - no sandwiches. Wine selection was good, Heineken beer on tap and a range of standard quality spirits were on offer. Wifi was free, however required you to reconfigure your mailbox if you wished to send emails. An enclosed entertainment area playing news channels made up the centre piece of the lounge, washrooms were clean and tidy. The downside of the lounge was that there seemed to be a lack of staff clearing away such a large area, resulting in a number of tables having "leftovers" on them for a considerable periods of time.

The lounge is not that bad, once you get past the very inconsistent service agents. This time I was refused lounge access as although being a Platinum for life I had a boarding pass for Turkish Airlines!

Used both Schengen and 52 lounge - great improvement over last time I used them - they have been refurbished. Free WiFi was very welcome. Good selection of self service drinks - snacks very limited. A good place to spend an hour of so waiting for your next flight.

Crowded lounge with good drinks selection and meagre snacks. Overall plastic and cheap-feel to it compared to AF or EK lounges in Dubai. Still a welcome haven from the crowded Dubai airport main lounges.

This lounge is shared by several airlines and was a pretty poor show. The lounge was really congested and there were not enough seats for all the passengers. Our flight was delayed so we spent even longer in there than planned. The front desk staff were pleasant but they chatted to one another non stop about another member of staff. As I was seated beside them I could not help but overhear. Not very professional!

A very underwhelming business class lounge. food selection and quality is mediocre, it is always busy, and the toilets and shower rooms are boiling hot. What use is it to take a shower only to sweat through a shirt before you leave the shower room? At first, I thought it was just me because I overheat easily but watching other passengers leave the shower area, they were all red faced and sweating. Then there's the obvious issues with cleanliness, the showers I've used have all had mould, there is no shower curtain so the water splashes out onto your luggage and all over the floor. Add to that no wash cloths, one towel and no floor mat and it is an entirely unpleasant experience. I've given them a few opportunities but from here on out, I'm just going to go without a shower; remaining dirty is preferable to using these facilities. Then there's the staff, on every occasion I've been to this lounge, some KLM employees are courteous but most are dismissive, rude, and not the least bit interested in customer satisfaction. KLM service has been falling steadily over the years and it is apparent that things are near a breaking point as obvious budget cuts and lack of planning/staff training for non-aircraft positions doesn't rank more than a single star. On a plus side, there is wi-fi I am using to write this!
