It took me about 15 minutes to walk to the lounge and another 20 minutes to get from the lounge to my gate, so plan on losing 35-40 minutes just walking. Once inside, though, it was comfortable and a nice place to relax. The food selection was just okay, but there were decent drink options, including a self-service bar where you can make your own cocktails. I also appreciated the ice cream station, which was a nice touch. Overall, it's a pleasant lounge experience--just be sure to allow extra time if your gate is in the non-Schengen area.

Food was ok (during the breakfast hours) nothing too special, especially for a business class lounge. It definitely does not come close to the Delta One lounge in LAX, as far as food quality, variety, and service. Even though the lounge had been open for about 2 hours, not everything was out or ready to be used. Many of the employees were friendly, though we came across one who seemed angry at the world! Not even close to the best lounge I've been to, but also not the worst (kind of similar to my experience in KLM business class). Not a glowing endorsement, I know, but still better than no lounge!

The food options are mainly cold cut cheeses and meats, with limited options for greens. The hot food only had a few options as well. The sweets section was impressve though, with all sorts of candies and sweet pastries. The atmosphere is quite nice as there is a good number of seats with a calm vibe maintained throughout the lounge.

However, they serve beverages and a continental breakfast with fruits available. There are 2 showers and, if you have done traveling, you know this can be a welcome relief after a long flight and during your lay over. However, we were departing so the showers were not needed. This lounge looks out at the KLM planes and a few British Airways gates. Also, although the airport advertises free Wi-Fi, I could only sign in for an hour. However, that provided me enough time for some Yelp check-ins since the Yelp app did not work in many of the locations I visited. Personnel were very friendly, spoke English, and kept the lounge clean when people left their garbage, dishes, and newspapers strewn about.

We used KLM Crown Lounge 25 (one of two KLM lounges at Schiphol Airport, the other being KLM Crown…read moreLounge 52) during our layover in Amsterdam. We had flown in from Las Vegas (9 hour and 5 minute flight, the longest flight I've ever been on so far) and were waiting to board our flight to Budapest to start our two-week long journey to Europe. I'm probably going to get a ton of heat from saying this, but this here was my first time traveling outside the United States, and Amsterdam Schiphol was the very first European airport I've been in (while this is true, Hungary actually ended up being the first European country I've stepped foot in). This lounge also wasn't a very far walk from our assigned gate. This lounge is huge and they have plenty of seating all around. While I didn't get the chance to try their food, I ended up trying their coffee, which will always be my go-to drink anytime I end up inside of an airport lounge. From what I've been told, the coffee in Amsterdam is really good, and being the coffee lover I am, I'm looking forward to it once we actually make our way back there. Using the coffee machine was a little confusing at first, but eventually I got the hang of it. Showers are included if you're just coming off a very long flight and require a connecting flight. The restrooms here, while smaller than the ones I'm used to back at home, are also clean and very well kept. We may return to this lounge on our way back home to Las Vegas, depending on what gate we may end up in.

The food offerings were rather mediocre, the lounge was too crowded. The seating opportunities were not all that comfortable. 2) After de-planing after more than 90 minutes waiting in the plane before they declared a non-fixable technical issue: Ok there was a small relief that they found it before taking off. But that's all. After that minimoment, there was only the frustration about losing a whole day in a shitty hotel but that there was an absolute chaos and poor management, poor communication. As business class traveler, I was directed back to the lounge, but within the lounge, there was a lack of proactive information/communication. Taken both together, it was a memorable experience that I would like to forget as quickly as possible.

The interior is modern and perhaps a bit futuristic, a lot of white shiny surfaces but still warm and inviting due to brown fabrics, fake fireplace, etc... The lounge provides an excellent way to relax before a flight. The Food and Beverage offerings change through the day to match with people's needs for the particular time of day. Their is usually soup, warm savoury snacks, cheeses, fresh olives, two types of salads, fresh bread buns, cheese, meat, etc. At certain times of the day there are also nice sweet offerings, like macaroons, chocolate cake, etc. The products on offer are always of good quality and are tasty. The fizzy drinks are nicely presented in small bottles (no no 'post mix' taps) in fridges and I have never seen an empty fridge. I'm not much of a wine drinker so I can't comment on the choice of wines nor about their quality. There is a good WIFI connection, downloading a tv show from iTunes doesn't take very long (though the speed will obviously vary). Toilets are clean, one very spacious near the end of the lounge and smaller ones near the entrance. A nice enough selection of magazines and international newspapers. The lounge offers speedy border passage with their dedicated security lanes (they can be a lifesaver) for both Schengen countries as non-Schengen countries (iris scan). All in all, if you travel regularly through Schiphol this lounge offers good value! There are extra services for car owners who want to park as close to the runway as possible. As I don't have a car I can't comment on those...

We did have to wander around quite a bit to find the bar that contained liquor, but we were persistent! Airport was clean and all employees we encountered were pleasant. We waited about an hour and a half in a very hot line to clear immigration. None of the self-service kiosks were open. When the Schengen line was totally clear, I hoped they would start taking people from our line; no such luck. The gentleman who helped us was nice, but it took way too long to get to him. It is very convenient that the train station is right there in the airport, though I wish the platform system was made a bit more clear no the kiosks when buying tickets. For those of us who don't have this type of transit in our home cities (Los Angeles), it made transportation tough. In fact, we got on the wrong train and what should have been a 15 minute ride from Schiphol to Centraal became an hour-long detour in the broiling heat.

I had a very disappointing experience at Amsterdam Schiphol Airport, and unfortunately it happened…read moreon both my arrival and departure. I was traveling with my family, including my 22-month-old son and another young child. We waited in line for well over two hours, and by the time we got through, we were literally running to our gate and barely made our flight. The stress was overwhelming. What made the experience even worse was the lack of air conditioning. The terminal was extremely hot, my toddler was exhausted, crying, and struggling in the heat, yet there was no assistance to be found. When we tried to ask for help, the staff we encountered were rude and showed very little empathy. I understand that airports can be busy, but families traveling with small children should not have to endure hours in line without support, especially in uncomfortable conditions. This was by far the most stressful airport experience I've ever had, and because of it, I will avoid connecting through Amsterdam in the future. I sincerely hope Schiphol takes these concerns seriously and improves the experience for families and other travelers.
