Cathay Pacific Airways

Friendly efficient staff compliment a large open plan lounge the looks out over the airport. There is a great little restaurant style noodle bar with a selection of Chinese food but watch out if you are looking for more western cuisine as it is lacking. So to is the selection of drinks which seems to have shrunk in recent years possibly due to cut backs. There is a large room with multiple PC terminals for good reliable internet surfing. Wi-Fi is free and up to par with speed and reliability. Restrooms and Shower cubicles are small and showing a little wear and tear as the years go by. However they are clean! Overall this is a great lounge but slowly starting to show some of its age.

The lounge was small compared to other Cathay lounges I have been at. There was the ever constant noodle bar serving up good food. They had two types of sandwiches (vegetarian and w/ meat) and they had cake + chinese dim sum. Good varieties of drinks including premium liquor and soft drinks. The lounge itself does not compare to the Wing or Pier lounges in HK but for Taipei it provides a nice oasis for travelers to eat and drink prior to their flight. It is a better alternative to the lacklustre duty free that is provided at Taoyuan airport. If there try the beef noodles in soup and not the spicy peanut sauce based noodles. There was free wifi and it was fast as well. Overall a very nice place to spend an hour or two before one's flight.

Haven't been to this lounge since before the renovations but what a difference. Great layout with a combination of lounge seating bar and workstations along the lines of other CX lounges and plenty of filtered light. Good food drink and reading material selections.

As a Diamond Frequent Flyer I enjoy this lounge quite regularly. And regularly experience the comfort excellent service wonderful showers fantastic staff great catering and the WOEFUL internet connection. Which drops out regularly. It seems three wireless services are available but they seem to drop out randomly without rhyme or reason. Even while typing this the connection failed twice. Not good enough Cathay Pacific.

Have to say I was rather disappointed with this flagship lounge for Cathay. It seems to have a rather worn appearance the seats were quite tatty and dirty same for carpet areas and staff service was cold at very best. Nicest staff was the lady cleaning the shower rooms! Did not get to use the cabanas this time but found the shower-rooms rather cramped and dull for a first class facility in Asia. Had a snack in the dining room area and whilst it was quite good again I found the staff to be quite offhand and poor. Had problems with wifi but probably my fault and not that of the lounge service here.

Large lounge. Reasonably comfortable with ample seating some overlooking the aircraft apron. Many Internet stations in good working condition. Well-stocked with snacks and drinks including Dim Sum and wine. Good selection of magazines and newspapers. Two shower rooms and a few toilet cubicles all in sparkling condition. The lounge is not enclosed but sits open-air one level above the general departure area accessible by escalator and lift.

Not much has changed since my last visit to this lounge. Seats were old and dirty. Food selection was mediocre at best. The redeeming quality of this lounge is the attentiveness and willingness of the staff to help the guests.

Cathay Pacific really underestimated the frequency of the shower room. It's always more than an hour waiting while I only have 2 hours transit time.
