Good choice of facilities. Business services, prayer room, refreshments etc. Range of seating
available - in seperate lounges, for meals, on sofas in open plan area etc.. and plenty of space for
discreet discussions if required. Decoration quite impressive. Intrusive noise though from 4 tvs on
different channels plus some noise from other areas of airport. Nice choice of drinks and snacks
available and constant cleaning from staff kept the whole area very neat and presentable. As a non-
drinker can not comment on size of a glass offered as on other reviews, but range of drinks was
quite broad if wanted. Soft drinks include teas, coffees, orange juice, waters, etc. Staff I found
to be excellent, not at all rude or dismissive and very welcoming. Also there was no pervasive
cigarette smoke evident - very welcome to a non-smoker in Turkey. Location of Lounge is at one end
of the airport and can be quite a few minutes to walk to gates, but shops and other services close
to Lounge so no need to walk unnecessarily far. A good and comfortable service.

Small CIP Lounge with nice choice of drinks and snacks. Limited office space for business if
required, comfortable sofas / seating and quiet space without excess noise from airport operation.
Nice lounge conveniently close to gates and good efficient staff to assist if needed.

The lounge is very specious and has an interesting decoration. I have been at all peak times there and there was always enough space to
sit and relax. There are showers available (some review say it has not) - to use it you
should contact the front desk staff for amenities and staff was mostly friendly. The choice of
alcoholic drinks could be increased though and size of glasses as well. A slient room for taking
a nap is missing though. |

The "new" lounge is located at the exact opposite end of the airport. It is quite a hike there but
most flights to Asia and the US depart from there, so I guess it is ok.
It is quite unique : huge sofas and armchairs, impressive chandeliers (like in a palace)
and soft carpets. At peak times, seating is very limited, and I saw people leave the
lounge because of not enough seating. There is an open bar with a wide selection of drinks
(alcoholic and non alcoholic) - albeit glasses are very small - and some snacks (puff pastry and
sandwiches).
There are no showers which is quite a disappointment after a long flight. Bathrooms
could be cleaner.
There is a business center with free internet access and there are of
course muslim prayer rooms. Staff is rude (as you would expect from Turkish Airlines) but all in all the lounge
is a vast improvement over the old one.
