update: Mini lounge-review:

Access: Seems like they kind of tightened the rules, you don't seem to be able to enter without an invitation which you will get when checking-in at the premium counters so probably hard for OK+/Skyteam FFs to get in if flying another airline.

Space: Lots.

PCs: Quite a few of them (8?), decent but not record-setting connections

Food: Probably below average in terms of variety, but this is a massive improvement from the salted "goldfish" snacks they had in the old one. Small salad bar, soup machines, bread rolls. The salads I had were quite tasty.

Alcoholic drinks: Limited choice (even though they had at least two bottles of every drink), could definitely be improved

Non-alcoholic drinks: Virtually anything you could wish for. I'd appreciate some cloudy apple juice (i.e. not from concentrate) that's sold by many supermarkets across Europe, but I don't see that offered even in the finest of restaurants, let alone an airline lounge.

Atmosphere: Acoustics could be better, it sounded busier than it was...I, however, like the "lively" aspect of it (it was noisy but not too noisy)...

Cleanliness (incl. toilets): Very good. You could eat your dinner off that floor.

Views: Excellent. They have big armchairs overlooking the runways!

Reading materials (English): Not enough variety (but to their credit they have stuff in 4-5 languages)

Overall I find it well worth a visit- even if I am sure that FTers who spend their lives in the long-haul first class beds of SQ, BA et al wouldn't be as impressed as I was!
