Overpriced lounge. The price and expectations are not matching.
Limited meals.
There is nothing much to choose, no competitors around 😁
Positive: unlimited internet, drinks, sometimes live music.
Very spacious and nice lounge area. I've been here several times already. There are many places to relax in a variety of formats, you can comfortably sit in an armchair with a lamp and read a book, you can sit at a table and work on a laptop. There are spaces away from the main hall where you can sit in almost silence. The choice of food and drinks is very large, of course, with a focus on local Turkish cuisine.
An excellent business lounge, with a good selection of food and drinks (I don't know about alcohol), even at night they are very careful about the set of dishes and cleanliness in the hall. Very spacious and at the same time cozy. We entered the hall through the Every Lounge system. The 4-hour flight delay was the reason to visit the gym: no complaints, my wife and I liked it.
Cons: at 23:40 on 07/05, noisy repairs were carried out on the territory of the airport (outside the business lounge), but even this did not spoil the impression of visiting the hall.
It's a great place to wait for a long flight. It's spacious, beautiful, clean, and smells good. The food is delicious and varied, from soup to dessert. Drinks are also plentiful: water, mineral water, soda, tea, coffee. A large, spacious room with comfortable chairs.
A great place to relax and have a snack. The food is delicious, varied, and fresh. Drinks for every taste, from tea to alcohol. A pleasant atmosphere for communicating with fellow travelers. There are sofas and couches, you can stretch the legs.
A great lounge, lots of seats, on different levels, lots of points with food and drink outlets, a smoking area, a children's room, really delicious food (by airport standards). Thanks! Keep it up
A great place to pass the time before departure. You won't find any mega dishes here, but you can have a nice snack. Depending on the time of day, the menu is slightly different. There is a smoking terrace, billiards, bar, WiFi, toilet and shower. It is always possible to find free places.
As our tourists say in most palaces in Europe: "Modest, but clean. "Everything you need is there, but no frills. If we take into account the current prices for food and drinks at IST, then this lounge saves good money for travelers, but it could be more comfortable and with a more varied table.
A cozy lounge, you can have a light snack while waiting for a flight or drink tea/ coffee, a calm atmosphere, not noisy, there are places to charge your phone or other electronics, a lot of places, which does not create a feeling of a crowd, even if the hall is full
A great lounge for waiting for a flight. The food consists mainly of vegetation-based dishes, mainly Turkish cuisine, but there are also European dishes. Lots of desserts, unlimited drinks and alcohol at the bar.
The lounge is just great, the bread is baked fresh, pide every 30 minutes, unlimited supply of drinks and Ice T and original Cola and what not. Everything is within walking distance of the Dutch Free 2 minutes Toy Store 1 minute. Leaves the best impressions
There are a lot of people, it's hard to find a free place. There is a strong smell of cigarettes in some areas. The food is average. The restrooms were clean. On the plus side, you can take a nap without worrying about your suitcase, if you didn't put it in your luggage, but took it in your carry-on.
It's a good business lounge. I've been there several times. There are always a lot of people. There's a queue at the entrance. But overall it's not bad. A normal choice of food and drinks. Lovely shower and toilet.
The business hall is large, everything is clean, there are a lot of different food and drinks, but keep in mind, as I understand it, there are always a lot of people there, sometimes you have to wait for a table to eat when it's free
A very good place to rest. Charge your phone, refresh yourself and have a snack that you need between transfers, the food is very decent, the atmosphere is pleasant
It's a small room with only a few chairs and a few tables. The food is fine, the choice is not big, but enough to have a snack. Of alcoholic beverages, only beer.
Well, it's like this, a pen with a lot of people, there are no toilets inside, the food is very small. Since there are a lot of people, everything ends quickly and the recreation area is very small, with only a few tables with chairs, i.e. it is possible to sit either in the dining area or on chairs. It's already difficult to change something.
The worst case scenario. The international airport, but there is nothing to eat (hot food is almost always empty), snacks are only local cuisine, some mixed salads. There was nothing but bread and cheese for breakfast, not even eggs -they were out. The bottom level. The furniture is all worn and dirty (upholstered chairs), the staff who make sure of cleanliness for three hours of my stay passed by about four times and each time talking loudly to each other, not at all shy to interfere with the vacationers, even the remark did not work.
People who write negative reviews, I sincerely do not understand you)
Are you waiting for some kind of five-star Michelin here for the money you pay for admission?
Great huge business lounge. A huge selection of delicious food. They clean up in a timely manner. The opportunity to sit quietly, charge your phone, go to the shower / toilet. What else do you need?
We are very happy and satisfied that we have the opportunity to spend time before the flight or during the flight delay.
There is always a place, quiet, delicious food and a bar. Some dishes are prepared immediately before serving. I've been there 6 times and always liked it.
Not a bad place to wait out a couple of hours. In general, there is everything you need. But the staff, of course... it's clear that they don't like the guests. In the look and the eye roll)) but if you don't pay attention to it, then in general it's OK.
Too overrated. A huge number of people. From the hot - bulgur. Meat is served with 20 kebabs per 200 people every half hour. Turkish sweets are present. Cocktails are served every other day at the bar. Mostly gin and tonic. Alcohol is better than Vnukovo and Sheremetyevo, and food is much worse. I do not recommend anyone to buy a passage for real money
Excellent business lounge at Istanbul Airport
For an adequate fee, you get a great opportunity to relax, have a snack and even take a shower while waiting for your flight.
We visited two business lounges at Istanbul's IST airport, we liked this one better, there was a wider range of dishes, more space and locations, but there are no salted nuts :)
Well, there are sweets, a large selection of drinks and some meat. As a rule, there are always queues. Queue at the entrance, queue for pasta, queue for coffee, etc.
A normal business hall, a lot of food, alcohol and various drinks. We were there from 14-16 on Tuesday, there are a lot of people, but there is also a lot of space. The queue at the entrance passed quickly. If you consider what prices are in Turkey now, it's better to sit in this room for a walk through the bank. At full cost, of course, I don't know if it's worth it or not.
For the first time in my life, I stood in line to go to the business lounge. And the queue is not for 2 people, but for 30-40. The business hall is overloaded, it is difficult to find a place, I liked that there are tables with sockets. There's a queue for toilets too. The buffet is good, lots of sweets, a wide selection of drinks, hot food is served and even grilled meat is grilled.
Minuses:
I don't understand why there are so many fives. What do people compare with (compared to Novosibirsk Tolmachevo, only is it possible to put more than four stars).
According to the world level, this is only three stars.
There are quite a few places, but there are clearly not enough for everyone. People are scouring for empty seats.
The food is mediocre. The choice of food is weak. There are only a lot of sweet things.
The location of the lounge is inconvenient. Some of the signs are turned the wrong way.
50 euros (October 2024) inadequate entry price.
Positive:
There is a terrace for smokers.
The child's room.
Shower.
A very small room, with soup, rice, moussaka, cold Turkish snacks, coffee, tea, water, beer, 2 types of biscuits. If it's free, then OK, it's definitely not worth paying for it.
The best BZ presented in Every application. You can take a shower, the food and drinks are good. I can sit for 4 hours, but I usually sit for 10 hours without any problems.

The cannon, I really liked it. The price bites, of course, but it was great, the seats were comfortable, the food, alcohol, snacks, drinks. There is a smoking room and even computers to work on the Internet.
A lot of people, a lack of places. The complete feeling of some kind of oriental bazaar or peripheral railway station. If possible, it is better to go to another business hall!
Responsive staff. The food is not bad. You can eat as much as you want. A variety of drinks. There is both wine and beer. Also tea and coffee. There are places to relax. The shower room.
A good business lounge, I paid 3,600 rubles for admission.Pide is cooked in the oven with cheese, chicken breast is fried in front of you, there are pickles, sweets. Alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, fanta, cola, sprite in cans.
This is a very busy hall. This is not a classic elite business lounge at all. First, you stand in line for 15 minutes to enter, then you look for a place to sit down. Queues for food, and we are not talking about diversity.
the bar has spirits, wine and beer. Everything is on tap.
There's definitely no point in paying money. If the freebie is from the bank, then it makes sense.
