OutstandingGreat lounge! The shower was great but the food was as pretty basic. Service was good. Welcome relaxation spot.

Betsy•July 2018

SatisfactoryWiFi not working, no comfy couches. Showers good, food OK.

janice•June 2018

OutstandingFun, funky decor. Multiple hot and cold food options. Nice showers. Two iMac workstations.

Anonymous•October 2017

SatisfactoryIt appears that the food options is kind of an after-thought as it appears the hot options are not hot or fresh, and the cold options have been sitting for a few days. Comfy chairs though!

Jason Newell•October 2017

Worth a DetourCame in at 8:45 and it was empty. No eggs for breakfast, just fruit, cereal, sausage, potatoes, chicken, sushi and cold sandwiches. Coffee machine, soft drinks, beer and wine available.

Eric•September 2017

SatisfactoryMediocre food, good drink selection, plenty of seating. Nothing special.

Anonymous•March 2017

OutstandingThis lounge was comfortable and has a self serve bar and buffet. I was able to relax and chat with some nice folks. I'd definitely recommend this lounge found using Lounge Buddy. @BotswanaTrek

Anonymous•February 2017

SatisfactoryNot recommended. It's loud and pokey with bad lighting. They need to switch off the awful television noise and add some partitions. Food selection mediocre for a South African lounge.

Matt•January 2017

Worth a DetourGood large lounge, though crowded. Comfortable seating, with private configurations possible. Good drink options, passable food.

Anonymous•December 2016

Needs ImprovementThe lounge is clean and there is a lot of seating, but the food and drink selection is very poor and the quality isn't great. Also the internet was basically unusable the two times I was here.

Jakub Golan•December 2016

SatisfactoryCrowded, food refilled slowly if at all. Poor wifi reception in corners. Sushi was a plus.

Matthias•November 2016

Worth a DetourFairly cramped lounge, but clean and tidy. Decent range of hot food along with full bar. Internet average but good showers. Well worth a visit.

Dave•September 2016

Worth a DetourComfortable, good selection of drinks, small selection of good hot food. My favourite of the non-airline lounges at JNB.

Anonymous•June 2016

OutstandingGreat food selection, very comfortable seats, great drink selection. WiFi extremely slow but that's SA.

Chris•May 2016

SatisfactoryThis lounge is pretty good but the SAA airlines' are superior if you have access.

Derek•March 2016

Worth a DetourA surprisingly sophisticated interior with odd but tasty furnitures, very dark wood and African trinkets. Good food and good South African wines. Really good!

flyingphotographer•December 2015

SatisfactoryNot big but sufficient for this terminal A. Decor is nice enough, staff friendly, self-serve beverages, hot foods and sandwiches available. Friendly staff. Room for improvement.

MeiMei•August 2015

OutstandingReally nice, sort of trendy. The only problem is that there aren't great work spaces here. They do have champagne though!

Anonymous•May 2015

Worth a DetourNice and comfy lounge. Good selection of food. Several power points throughout (although could be more). Not the biggest of lounges so could get congested easily.

Andrew•March 2015

OutstandingOverall, great lounge with modern decor, good food, nice self-serve selection of local liqueurs and beer. The restoom is small, but it's nice.

Ryan•January 2014

Worth a DetourThis lounge is smaller than the Bidvest Lounge, but it's closer to the farther gates. Food and drinks were good.

Sean•December 2014

SatisfactoryThis is a small lounge, with few facilities.
