I think I would only use this lounge in future if we had a substantially longer transit and needed a quiet day-bed area. .
I agree that the food is mediocre in Al Safwa. Chefs struggle to cook an over easy egg at breakfast. The rest of the day isn't much better. The staff in the lounge are the best I have ever encountered. From check in to the waiting staff - superb. I love the space and lack of people. The sleeping rooms are clean and comfortable. Great shower too. Al Mourjan has better food, in my opinion.
