Recently paid for LHR T5 Plaza Lounge and quite honestly I would not pay for this lounge. Staff unfriendly, overcrowded, poor selection of drinks and very poor selection of food. Better service, space and staff downstairs in Weatherspoons. Will not waste my money on this lounge again.

I would give less then 1 star. It is awful. It is dirty and crampt. Staff are rude. You are much better off just staying in the duty free area.

Worst lounge ever. I have never tasted food so bad. Dont go’ there

This lounge is very poor, food cold, free drinks are very limited, range of food very poor, for £100 totally a rip of, if you are booking this don’t

A very limited choice of alcoholic drinks included in the package - not very 'premium' tbh!! Had to pay for my preferred tipple and even then I'm not sure the contents actually matched the what was on the label.
The choice of food is poor in comparison with other lounges,v it was lukewarm and swimming in grease.
Overall, a pretty disappointing experience and quite memorable for the wrong reasons. Only wish I had read the previous reviews first!

I have recently been to the a plaza premium lounges at Gatwick and most recently Heathrow both in the last 3 months. Both were over subscribed so struggled to find seats, the beer is a no brand, food so basic poor quality and vegan. I will be using airport eateries from now on as it’s better and cheaper.

Over crowded , seats we were given had very small drinks table so had to have eat food on our laps .
Food extremely basic , poor choice , bread rolls very dry .
Some staff were friendly , some not

The absolute worst lounge I’ve ever visited. Sausages tasted like they were from a cheap supermarket cafe, bacon dry, scrambled egg disgusting with a weird taste to it. Almost no vegetarian breakfast options. No pastry.

I am writing this review not out of anger, but out of responsibility. People pay for airport lounges for peace, comfort, and a reduction in stress, especially when travelling with families. Based on my experience, I strongly believe that families should think very carefully before wasting their money on Plaza Premium at Sabiha Gökçen Airport.

I have been travelling in and out of Turkey for over 30 years and have used lounges across Istanbul, Turkey, Europe, and many other parts of the world. I am a frequent flyer and a regular user of Plaza Premium and other lounge networks. What I experienced at the Plaza Premium Bosphorus Lounge was, without question, one of the worst lounge experiences I have ever had.

Before even entering the lounge, there was something I had never seen here before: a long queue outside. I waited approximately 10–15 minutes just to be seen at the desk. This immediately raised concerns, as there were clearly not enough staff at reception to manage the number of passengers being admitted.

Once inside, the situation became far worse. The lounge was so overcrowded that there was no seating available at all. Not only could I not sit down, there was barely enough room to stand. The environment was chaotic and claustrophobic, comparable to being on a London Underground train during rush hour in central London. This is the exact opposite of what anyone expects when paying for lounge access.

People were standing throughout the lounge, including in circulation areas, and in my opinion potentially blocking fire exits. I am not stating this as a formal claim, but as an experienced traveller, it was deeply concerning. The level of overcrowding felt unsafe. The toilets were completely inadequate for the number of people inside, with queues of around 10 minutes forming. For families with young children, this was clearly distressing and impractical.

Food was largely depleted, with little to nothing available to eat, and there was no visible or timely replenishment. Drink options were extremely limited. Despite all of this, more passengers continued to be admitted into the lounge. This made it very clear that access was being oversold relative to the size and capacity of the space.

At one point, the only place I could find to sit was on a plant pot. That is not an exaggeration. I was sitting on the edge of a plant pot because there was literally nowhere else. I documented this in a previous review because it perfectly illustrates how unacceptable the situation was.

After approximately 15 minutes, I left the Bosphorus Lounge and attempted to use the other lounge in the terminal, only to find that it was even more crowded. At that point, I left altogether.

For families, I want to be especially clear: this is not a suitable environment. There is no calm, no space to sit together, no easy access to toilets, and no sense of control. Travelling with children is stressful enough without being placed into a packed, chaotic space where basic needs cannot be met. As a frequent traveller, my honest advice to families is this: it is far better to buy a small amount of food and go one floor down, where there are seating areas and spaces that are noticeably less chaotic than the departures level, which becomes extremely congested.

What has been just as disappointing as the lounge itself is the response from Plaza Premium afterwards. I contacted them by email to explain the situation and requested either a refund or a credit for future use, purely because I could not sit and could not meaningfully eat. The response showed no empathy, no understanding, and no goodwill whatsoever. There was no refund, no voucher, and no genuine acknowledgement of the problem. It was very clear that they simply do not care.

After more than 30 years of travelling to Turkey, a country known for its warmth, hospitality, and professionalism, I find it particularly disappointing that this lounge appears to be run as a purely transactional business, with profit taking priority over passenger comfort, safety, or dignity.

I will never recommend Plaza Premium at Sabiha Gökçen again. They have lost a customer, although based on the response I received, that clearly does not matter to them. In truth, the quality of this lounge was never especially high compared with many others I have used worldwide, but it was convenient due to its location. Convenience, however, does not justify chaos, overcrowding, or a complete lack of care.

People go to lounges for peace and quiet, to decompress, to take the stress out of travel. This lounge delivered the opposite. Families, in particular, deserve better than this.

At first they refused to give me access to the lounge I paid for because it was 'full'. then after I went in I realized it was the dirtiest, grossest lounge I've ever seen. Do not come here. Broken tables, dirty dishes everywhere, dirty coffee counter, out f service coffee machine, dilapidated bathrooms. I contacted Premium group for a refund, they approved a refund and made me contact Dragonpass to get it, Dragonpass made me contact trip.com Trip refused to give me a refund because they have a two week complaint policy. The issue being it took many weeks for Plaza group to answer my case to start with. I received zero assistance, zero refund and had my time wasted.

plaza premium lounge Dubai, Even though it is located in Terminal 3, where our connecting flight was located it took about 40 mins to get to the lounge. Was difficult to find a chair to sit and the choice of seating where not that comfortable and the lounge was not quiet. The food choices were limited. You are actually better off sitting in the main concourse as a lot of seats are reclined. Waste of £40.

My party and I visited the Plaza Premium Lounge at Heathrow Terminal 5 on 16 October 2025, and the experience was extremely disappointing and unacceptable. Having paid to enter the lounge, I expected a clean, comfortable, and well-managed environment. Unfortunately, what I encountered was the complete opposite.

Upon arrival, there were no available seats, and many tables were left dirty and uncleared. The lounge felt chaotic and poorly maintained. The food area was messy, with unappetising presentation and little attention to hygiene.

The most disturbing part of the visit was witnessing a mouse running across the floor in the reserved area. This is a serious health and safety concern that should never occur in a so-called “premium” facility.

When I reported the issue to staff, the staff member seemed unbothered; I was told a manager would come to speak with me, no one ever did. The complete lack of accountability and customer service only added to an already unpleasant experience.

For a lounge that markets itself as a premium, relaxing space, the conditions were utterly unacceptable. I have requested a full refund and expect Plaza Premium Lounge management to take immediate action to address hygiene and pest control.

I would strongly advise travellers to avoid this lounge until significant improvements are made to cleanliness, customer service, and overall management.

I've submitted an official complaint and now await a response.

Terminal 5 Heathrow. Appalling lounge! Over crowded with queues of people trying to get in. Once inside had no place to sit. Should you get to sit, the food was horrible, pet food is probably better. Really a waste of time and money - go spend half the money in another eatery with plenty of space and choice of quality food.

Don't bother. Long queues. Horrible staff. Keep away

Total waste of money. Was at Heathrow T5
Basically like a breakfast morning hotel buffet. Food was OK but I thought I was paying for a quiet place to relax before my flight. It was as busy as the rest of the airport. Everyone around seemed to get table service but we didn't.
You couldn't easily move around to get your food or drinks as the place was crowded.
Save your money and go to the Gordon Ramsey place, where you will get table service and it will cost you half. Alternatively, you can go to the Weatherspoons.

Dreadful experience - complete waste of money and feel that we should be refunded - far too many people jammed in - literally no room between tables and people queuing for seats. Food choice was dreadful and cold. Dishes not filled up - staff seemed over-whelmed by the situation

Poor food , poor service . I really feel ripped off by the price that I was charged. The food was appalling and it was freezing cold . No replenishment of cutlery a number of customers had to ask for it . My advice is don’t book in there eat in the airport eateries or perhaps the new escape lounge !

I spent six hours at the Plaza Premium Lounge in London Heathrow Terminal 5 on 8 September 2025, and unfortunately the experience was very disappointing considering I paid over €100 for access plus extra hours.

The staff at the entrance were unfriendly and unhelpful, making the check-in process confusing.

The Wi-Fi did not work, which meant I couldn’t do my planned work and had to use my own data at roaming cost.

The lounge itself wasn’t clean, the food was below standard, and the air conditioning wasn’t functioning properly.

Overall, this was far below the standard I would expect from a paid premium lounge.

Arrived at the lounge in Edinburgh after the entry fee they had the hard neck to try and charge £4:50 for a bottle of Corona. Only had poretti on draught ( in one mouthful glasses ) the food was crap and not presented well at all definitely was not worth the cash and won't be using it again

The operator of this lounge prioritises REVENUE MAXIMISATION at the cost of CUSTOMER COMFORT!

If you’ve ever wondered what it feels like to pay £45 for the privilege of standing awkwardly next to strangers while eyeing tables like a hawk during an eBay bidding war, boy do I have the lounge for you.

I visited this lounge at the very start of the summer holidays in Terminal 5. As I stood in the queue to get in, I noticed something alarming: for every one person leaving the lounge, about twelve were being let in. It was less “lounge” and more “uncontrolled human flood.”

Upon entry, we were greeted by the sight of every single table occupied and a congregation of tired travellers clinging to the hope that someone – anyone – might get up and leave. It was like being in a waiting room… except the waiting room was inside the actual place you paid to relax in. The word “Premium” felt more like a punchline at this point. I had to wait about 30 minutes for a table — which, in lounge time, is basically the same as a long-haul flight to nowhere. Thanks to the inspired decision to ignore capacity limits entirely, groups were being split up everywhere.

Look – when I go to a lounge, I want to unwind, not prepare for battle. I shouldn’t have to be in an unspoken competition with other travellers to secure a seat like it’s an Olympic sport.

Inside, things remained…cosy. And by cosy, I mean tightly packed to the point where the chairs outside at the airport gates were more spacious. Irony.

The selection of food was...okay. There were some noodles with various toppings. Towards the end of my stay, they even bought out Pizza, which was a plus.

The dessert selection was much better: brownies, jelly w/ custard, chocolate muffins, etc.

The drinks selection was very plentiful, with various wines available for free too (which were actually quite tasty)!

One genuine positive: the staff were friendly, helpful, and clearly doing their best in the face of what I can only describe as a logistical nightmare. Credit where it’s due – they were the most premium part of this “Premium” lounge.

Out of all the airport lounges I’ve been to — and I’ve been to quite a few, including the ones at Luton — this one easily takes the crown for “Most Disappointing Lounge Experience.”. It’s genuinely baffling that Plaza Premium Lounge is allowed to represent Heathrow, the UK’s flagship airport.

Also, random side thought: it’s genuinely hilarious that they call themselves “Premium.” Premium what, exactly? Premium overcrowding? Premium queuing? Premium disappointment? The only thing that felt exclusive was the chance to sit down — and even that was more of a lottery than a guarantee.
