- Dream1856890 contributionsExcellent service and superb environmentThe lounge in Penang International Airport is excellent in service and superb environment while waiting for flight. Was travelling with family with 4 kids in Sept this year, the premium lounge in Penang international departure is excellent place to stretch my legs and good place for us to stretch a little before squeezing in Airasia. Premium lounge manager Ms Maria is so helpful in getting us into the lounge without any hassle while my wife and I have to take care of luaggages and my four-overexcited kids. The food variety is just good enough but the quality is exceptional good, maybe due to my hunger. Overall experience is marvelous and will come again when travel via Penang Airport.Written 14 September 2024

- kimlJ8218FC0 contributionsAverageThe chairs & staff are nice but the food is below average as limited choices apart from lots of carbs & not a healthy choices, also the coffee & milk are not high/good standard at all for so called ‘premium’Written 20 April 2023
- Mohammad Zabri J0 contributionsA quaint lounge with very good service!Its not often that a lounge staff would multi-task and during these troubled times it seems to be needed because lack of staffing and also due to lack of passengers. Our time here passed very comfortable with Melvin at the check in counter, serving and checking every couple of minutes to ask if we needed anything else... this never happened at KLIA and I am very pleased that he took the extra mile to do so. Food is great although because of the COVID period the buffet has been replaced with an order method. Even so, the Hainanese Chicken Rice is still the signature menu for the Penang Lounge. Probably the only irk is the missing pastries that i miss so much at the Plaza Premium Lounge. Maybe they’ll come back soon!Written 1 September 2020
- kslim70 contributionsMrPlace is simple but at least they have ample chairs to catch 40 winks. The staff are quite friendly, especially from one Fabian Watson. Should have more shower facilities though. Overall, facilities should be improved for Visit Malaysia Year 2020.Written 9 January 2020
- badlittlekiwi0 contributionsWorst airport lounge ever!Currently sitting in the Penang Plaza Premium lounge and it’s terrible. The food on offer is the salad bar (a few scraps of lettuce and chopped up cabbage), dry sponge cake or white toast. No hot food, definitely no local food, not really anything edible at all. Don’t waste your time here... better off having McDonald’s before customs.Written 31 December 2019
- xingtail0 contributionsVery average longueNot sure what the hype is about. Was a pretty average longue when I visited. Had some really average chicken nuggets with sweet and sour sauce and rice. Definitely no great "local food" described by some of the other reviews. Just a place to rest if necessary.Written 29 December 2019

Facilities are very adequate and well-appointed for the size of this lounge. Although we came during the peak period, and being under-staffed to boot, the staff provided service with grace and professionalism . My wife and I are particularly glad we were attended to by Catherine and Hidayah.

The receptionist Azrul was serving myself and my collegues with polite and professional way although there was a customer queuing while i was register for the required app. He had politely apologised to the next customer for patiently waited on my priority as customer as well. Then both of us had common understanding to give way. His smile and greeting did make us feel privilege to walk in as VIP. The environment makes me feel hang around until flight departure time.

Atmosphere was amazing with very down to earth local food and delicacies. Spotted foreign tourists enjoying their time here chilling before their respective flights. Food was refilled promptly, staff were all super friendly and polite, big thumbs up to Ms Fyna especially

Not really sure but I think this is the only lounge available at Penang international airport.
We used this lounge prior to us flying back to Singapore. It was really busy when we visited and we had some issues finding seats in the crowded lounge.
Food was ok, nothing worth mentioning except that there was a live cooking station offering curry noodles when I was there.

One of only 2 lounges in a good 1st location by Gate A2. Indifferent service in a 1980s retro lounge with cramped seating and lack of privacy, loud muzak and cold air conditioning. Very disappointing non-Asian food. Unless you are in lounge before 11am you are limited to toast, cereal or sad looking water melon. They charge for Coke, Fanta or Soda and there’s no wine/beer. Toilets are disgusting and in need of refurbishment.

Used to be an okay lounge, but they have deproved significantly. They used to have a rather acceptable menu with about 5 items you can order which they would prepare for you, which they changed to a buffet afterward. The buffet was a nightmare with always empty food trays. Then they reverted into a smaller a la carte menu for a short while. Now, they have a very short lunch / dinner period where they serve 3 options of actual food, though microwaved and dry, still edible. It is served in tiny tiny portions, and the wait is long. So now, if you miss lunchtime, you only get warm and cold drinks, buttered toast you have to queue for, and if you want beer, you have to ask for it, and you will receive your ration.
The staff are very friendly, but from what I see, it's clearly management cost cutting. It has something to do with them managing 2 lounges now. The one next door is also managed by them, but not accessible by priority pass. It's a cathay lounge.
Furnishing is already in need of replacement from overuse, and fabric of the lounge chairs are stained from use. Table tops are worn down from use, and staff frustrated from customers complaining.

I am a member of the lounge, so I have visited many lounges before. Even due to lockdown I was surprised that this place was open. Due to the restrictions they now come and serve you at the table rather than you go up and order at the counter or self service which is not a problem.
I was particularly impressed with Melvin who was the manager there. He was so polite, charming with a great sense of humour, which is definitely needed in times like this, and totally professional. What a fantastic manager. I just wish all lounges had lovely happy staff like him. I cannot praise him enough.

Awful small cramped lounge for international terminal.
Not much capacity and was full of airline flight crew.
Toilets are small- only one urinal available. Two tiny smelly cubicles. Nowhere to wash & get changed, let alone shower . Yet the domestic lounge has showers (?)
Just an awful offer. Wi-Fi impossible to get to work.

Was here on 24 July at around 7pm. The food is limited and bad. It is also very unhygiene. Saw a lot of flies around the coffee machine and some came to our food. The plates come with stain. Food fall all over the buffet and no one bother to clear. The guy at the reception walked around without informing ground staff and even took a coke for himself which is meant for lounge guest.
