Just done a few TK flights, each with long stays in the CIP lounge.

A few remarks: While the lounge gets filled up during the "rush hours", it was NEVER the case it was fully occupied, ie no seat free. I have been there from 5am to 1am basically almost all the time. Some times (morning/evening rush hours) it's relatively full with maybe 80% of the seats taken, but it was ALWAYS plenty of seats available.

I love the Panini, as well as the egg choices. Definitely closer to a first class lounge than a business lounge. Also, the Demel cakes are just awesome ^

Pasta and the grilled meat/vegetables during the day are great too. Salad buffets are also nice. Basically, while the food isn't overally "fancy" or served like in the Frankfurt first class terminal, it's of good quality and prepared freshly.

I would rate the lounge at about the level of a SilverKris in Singapore, which is only available to their own elite and business pax, while the CIP is available for *G including guests.

About the showers: Had waiting times of 15min-45min. The showers are good but not great. Tried to use the "suites" sleeping rooms, but they told me my waiting time was too long (they stated I had 7 hours and 10 minutes, while my printout showed 6 hours 50min, but didn't wanted to discuss) - was too lazy to go out and ask for a hotel anyway.

All in all, a very good lounge, plenty of choices, sometimes full, but never to a level where it's impossible to find a seat. WAY WAY WAY over the likes of a German Lufthansa Senator lounge (and even more than their "Business" lounges)
