For coffee, I was very pleased to see that Nespresso has invaded the place. If other lounges could do the same…
Services
Wifi: yes, but this has always been the weakest point of this lounge. I should say a total shame. Until recently, wifi wasn’t free (quite a unique case for a business lounge in the western world !). Now you have a free 15 min option but it is sponsorized and so you have to endure a short video and some commercials before enjoying your 15 min…unacceptable IMO.
