What Visitors Are Saying
Mikey - United Kingdom (★): "Would love to be able to actually use the lounge as I was refused entry as the qr code didn’t work"
SILVIA - Italy (★★★★): "io e mio marito abbiamo passato 3h all'interno della lounge, le poltrone erano piene poi si sono liberate, non è grossa ed è composta da 2 sale. il buffet è nella norma, bibite a volontà cone il cibo. le poltrona purtroppo sono un pó scomode, le sedie con i tavoli invece sono più comode! il personale è disponibile, attento alla cura di tutto, il luogo è pulito. diciamo che per rilassarsi va bene ma per dormire lo sconsiglio."
GetYourGuide traveler - France (★★★★): "warm welcome, relaxing location, very clean"
