Free wifi- evidenced by this post. Basic furniture, not too comfy. Soft drink machine with free soft drinks. A few newspapers and TVs. Tea/coffe machine out of order.
Waiting to see if any luggage checks or priority boarding at gate soon.
That was not their proper lounge. That was the "Exclusive Waiting Area". Access only for Business Class, Full-Fare, AB and EY Elites (including Silver).
Oneworld Saphires and Emeralds have no access (which I do not understand until now). In TXL you have access to two lounges (BA and AF), which are both located before security in the main terminal. I like the, but it is usually a little walk to the gates.
