Needs ImprovementDenied access at 8am in morning with Priority Pass.
Joe•February 2019
SatisfactoryPoor food choices (best to eat in nearby food court) and limited beverage options. Quiet with comfortable seats with access to charge devices and clean toilets. Sadly one of a few non-KLM choices.
Travelentuziast•January 2019
SatisfactoryDrinkable coffee from a bean to cup machine. Comfortable and quiet. Very poor food and drink choice.

Needs ImprovementCannot get in as Priority Pass Select member. Only certain time.
ray•October 2018
OutstandingLucked into this one from my girlfriend's Amex rewards card. Free Heineken on tap and fridges of free wine, place to charge a phone and food was plentiful, soups salads, crackers and olives. Was great.

SatisfactoryThis lounge is showing signs of age. The staff is nice, but the decor and furniture is worn out and the lounge isn’t very clean. Construction may play a role in the current state.
Frazell•September 2018
SatisfactoryReally grumpy and impolite woman at the reception, rushing everyone. Crowded but food was OK.
Anonymous•September 2018
Needs ImprovementTerrible lounge. Overcrowded and lacking basic standard food, you are honestly better off going to one of the terminal restaurants than visit here.
Jeff Kaster•August 2018
SatisfactorySmall, basic and crowded. Understandable as most airlines flying Schengen destinations use this lounge, as well as Priority Pass. Very limited food options, only some bread, and light snacks.
Hamada•August 2018
SatisfactorySlightly better than sitting in the terminal. Too crowded during afternoons/evenings. Hard for limited staff and small kitchen areas to keep up with the volume of visitors.
-M-•August 2018
Needs ImprovementSmall, no view, only fruit, cheese and bread for food. Not impressed.
Anonymous•August 2018
Worth a DetourNice decorations, super slow Wi-Fi, food, drinks and mediocre food.
Lasse•August 2018
Needs ImprovementPoor selection of food. Eat before coming. Closed at 9pm so not for later flights. Very poor internet service - free wifi did not work 😥👎🏾🙅🏼♂️. Good work areas which are clean. Comfy seats.
Phill•July 2018
SatisfactoryThe food was lacking but the lady at the desk was very warm and friendly. Had the food been better, I would have given a 3.
Yijia•June 2018
SatisfactoryBare bones, and actually makes you want to skip early to enjoy the much classier cafes and restaurants downstairs. They need to raise their game to at least compete with the free options at Schiphol.
Saurabh•May 2018
Needs ImprovementA couple of hours out from closing time, food and drinks were not being replenished and when I asked the staff, I was met with rudeness and indignant excuses. Comfortable space.
George•February 2018
Worth a DetourHas all the basics you would need.
Andrew •January 2018
Needs ImprovementClean and quiet is about all I can say. The WiFi is poor, and the food situation is dire, especially at 6AM on a Saturday. This lounge threatens the credibility of Star Alliance benefits.
Nick•January 2018
OutstandingSpacious seating, good food, quiet.
Rob•January 2018
OutstandingThe service at the lounge is very good. There is good food available for breakfast, and there were enough seats at 7 AM.
Anonymous•December 2017
SatisfactorySolid lounge, average food and decent selection of drinks. Was relatively quiet on a Sunday morning. Nice mix of lounge and work areas. Free wifi from Schiphol airport.
Anonymous•December 2017
SatisfactoryVery busy lounge! Came at 9am on Sat. & had issues finding a seat. Not many food options. No clean mug for coffee & no one cleaning up after people. If you're hungry get food outside b4 coming in.
Anonymous•November 2017
SatisfactoryFew charging points it’s almost comical. Very dim lighting. Did not make me excited to re-visit this lounge.
Niels•November 2017
SatisfactoryLots of comfortable seating, hot couscous with a few vegetables, & Heineken beer on tap. Short on power outlets. I was there about 30 minutes in evening. My plates were cleared, tables wiped.
Helen•November 2017
Needs ImprovementVery basic food. The fruits taste old. Literally saw a mouse running around the place.
Yoni•October 2017
SatisfactoryTerrible wifi, non functional power sockets, food is almost nonexistent. It barely qualifies as a "lounge".
Anonymous•September 2017
Worth a DetourDecent, basic lounge. Limited food, small, but clean and quiet. Reasonable lounge.
Anonymous•August 2017
Needs ImprovementFood is scarce. No water bottles. Only fountain drinks.
Ryan•August 2017
SatisfactoryQuiet and comfortable. Medium variety of beverages. Wine/coffee etc infested with small flies. Made the cleanness feel very poor. 5/10
Marius•July 2017
OutstandingThis lounge actually has good food and drinks. Only thing is that it's over crowded. That's probably because Priority Pass needs more lounges at AMS.
Zack•July 2017
SatisfactoryWith a name like Aspire, you have to wonder what it's aspiring to... Perfectly reasonable and comfortable place to spend time apart from the terminal, but I wouldn't go out of my way to visit it.
David•July 2017
SatisfactoryBasically a place to sit. Food is nonexistent, but you can get a coffee. Certainly not worth paying for, but better than sitting in the terminal if you're given free access.
Anonymous•June 2017
OutstandingAt 8:45 am food selection is sparse but fresh. Lots of spirits. Seating very comfortable and peaceful.
Nicole•June 2017
SatisfactoryFood and drinks are okay, nothing special. Very disappointed to find that a large number of electrical connections not working. Poor selection of reading material. Very clean bathrooms.
Anonymous•April 2017
SatisfactorySub par continental breakfast.
Deric•March 2017
SatisfactorySpacious and quiet on the opposite side of the snack bar. Minimal food selection. Comfy couches.
Anonymous•January 2017
SatisfactoryVery limited food options. Saw a mouse running across the floor near the food area, which made the already unappealing food that much more unappealing.
Anonymous•December 2016
Worth a DetourQuiet and well located, good WiFi (airport and lounge) and friendly staff. I would pick this over KLM's a thousand times.
Anonymous•December 2016
Needs ImprovementFood is awful, wi-fi is bad and they try not to honor agreements with partners such as Amex Platinum. Only go here if it your only option.
Anonymous•November 2016
Worth a DetourQuiet retreat with typical lounge food and drink. Staff really stand out as cheerful and helpful.
Gregory•September 2016
Needs ImprovementVery limited food. Come just to relax and have a drink.
Anonymous•July 2016
SatisfactoryBasic bar and half decent happy hour food selection, with soup and a variety of snacks. Very dimly lit, so difficult to read. Lounge is segregated into multiple areas which keeps it quiet.
Dave•July 2016
Needs ImprovementPros: very quiet, lots of space, very comfortable seats
Cons: wifi, food and drinks are a pure joke
If you can go there for free, do it! Otherwise avoid it.
Jasiu•July 2016
OutstandingA really nice place to rest and relax before departure. Decent selection of snacks and alcohol, and plenty of open seating when I was there!
Garrett•June 2016
SatisfactoryVery small food selection. But very nice and clean.
Mark•June 2016
SatisfactoryAt 1:30 pm, almost all snack stations are empty. Service staff only at the reception, not present in the lounge.
Harry Zwarthoed •June 2016
SatisfactoryComparable to a US domestic lounge.
Kazu•June 2016
Needs ImprovementVery basic lounge, hardly any food, bad coffee, mineral water only from fountain. Only ever go if you don't have to pay extra for it!
Andreas •May 2016
Worth a DetourBetter than average. Nothing exceptional. Greek yogurt for breakfast. Everything is self serve, furniture is comfortable/clean. Solid B.
Anonymous•May 2016
SatisfactoryNice with enough seats but no tarmac view. Decent drinking options. Food options are even more terrible than an Admirals Club.
Sander•March 2016
Worth a DetourClean and spacious. Good location, right after security.
Anonymous•December 2015
SatisfactorySmall but comfortable & peaceful (Sat 14:45). Drink selection adequate (alc y non-alc). Food very simple - crackers, vegetables (but no sauce, dip), bread, potato chips, coleslaw & olives.
Len•December 2015
Needs ImprovementA mediocre lounge, modern design, the standard range of drinks, but basically nothing to eat. Nor much to the facilities. There is clear potential for improvement.
flyingphotographer•December 2015
Needs ImprovementExtremely crowded, only food was pasta and biscuits. Not work the money!
Anonymous•December 2015
SatisfactoryThe lounge was crowded and the food/beer selection is quite poor. But it is similar to other airport lounges so this was no surprise.
Stephan•November 2015
SatisfactoryRenovated and good.
Anonymous•September 2015
SatisfactoryQuiet and comfortable, with adequate drinks, but lacking in food quality. Service excellent.
Bjarte•May 2015
Needs ImprovementCrowded, unfriendly check-in staff, cleaned too infrequently with a poor selection of food and drink. Coffee is sub-standard. Very little upside to this lounge.
Alex•April 2015
SatisfactoryVery small lounge, few snack options, water comes in a glass bottle so you can't take one with you on your flight, not all spots have power outlets. On the upside: clean and modern lounge.
Nacho•March 2015
Needs ImprovementAgreed with other reviewers - staff seem unhappy which reflects the service you receive. Maybe they don't want to be there?
Toby•February 2015
Worth a DetourWas in the lounge for a 9 am flight to Prague. A few breakfast snacks, plenty of self service wine and liquor, beer on tap too. Not a bad place to spend some time but nothing amazing.
Chris•January 2015
Needs ImprovementBasic lounge with terrible coffee.
Mark•January 2015
SatisfactorySalon sympa mais pas grand choix de nourriture. Alcool par contre a gogo!
Vince•January 2015
Worth a DetourNot sure why everyone doesn't like this lounge. Staff were all friendly, adequate seats (was a Monday night, around 7pm), alcohol and more snacks than a domestic United Lounge. Be thankful.
Anne•January 2015
Needs ImprovementComfy seats to relax, but small snack and drink offerings.
Kulp•December 2014
Needs ImprovementThe only lounge free for Star Gold travelers at Schipol, where SkyTeam dominates. Comfortable area, multiple drinks available, but food choice is the poorest in the world.
X.•December 2014
SatisfactoryCentrally located to the BCD gate area. Comfortable and well spaced out seating. Could use a refresh but generally clean. Snacks and beverages are the basics and limited.
Thierry•December 2014
Needs ImprovementThe coffee from the Nescafé machine was disgusting as others mentioned. (I made some tea instead.). Food was limited but the crackers & cream cheese were fine. Somewhat crowded.
Jill•September 2014
SatisfactoryThis lounge is okay but nothing special. Since the airport has a lot of construction now (September 2014), this is at least a comfortable place to relax and have a drink and a snack.
LD•September 2014
Needs ImprovementThis is one of the worst lounges I have ever been at. Crowded, lazy staff and very little food options (unless you want to eat chips and cheese only). Much better to go to Starbucks.
Daniel•September 2014
Needs ImprovementThis poor lounge lacks even in the most basic aspect: the coffee. The coffee is simply undrinkable. Even the staff knows it and acknowledged saying they hope to get a new machine soon.
Eyal•August 2014
Needs ImprovementNice comfortable, well lit lounge. Good drinks selection, but the snack offerings leave a little to be desired.
Jonathan•July 2014
SatisfactoryA bit overcrowded. Good wine and beer.
Morten•June 2014
Needs ImprovementSubstandard and disappointing.
Tim•May 2014
SatisfactoryThis lounge is clean and has good service. However, everything else is subpar: limited food options, small space, and spotty Wi-Fi.
Nalle•February 2014
SatisfactoryBesides the potential long lines and crowding that can detract from the solitude in this lounge, it's a fairly good place to be.
Derwin•December 2013
SatisfactoryThe unfriendly staff makes checking in a very long progress. In addition, the food is very limited.
