Pretty good for a Priority Pass lounge that is open 24 hours. This lounge per PP conditions is for…read more"Schengen flights only" so if you are flying direct back to the States from Madrid, I don't think you can get in with PP. We had a 6am flight out of Madrid to our connecting flight to Frankfurt prior to getting back to the States. It wasn't the easiest to find at the airport, we had to ask for help. Pros: fairly large with plenty of seating, great drinks selection, clean Semi-con: no hot food options for breakfast - only cold cuts, bread, pastries, fruit, yogurt, packaged cold sandwiches. This is typical Spain breakfast food so it is normal but I'm always sad when there isn't any hot foods available.

Cons: We came in around 11am-ish and they had pastries out and cold cuts so they were still in breakfast. I was expecting to see eggs or something but they had no hot food options. I asked one of the staff when they would have hot food and she gave me the most stank look!! and grunted at me, HUHH?? w/the facial expression to match. She was so rude. I asked the question again in Spanish this time, and she rudely snapped at me and said (in Spanish) no hot food until 2PM! and stormed off. I later realized that I misunderstood her or maybe she didn't even know. But anyways, as I was serving myself the cold cuts, I accidentally put the tongs back in the wrong spot. This same rude grunty woman came up next to me, grabbed the tongs and literally SLAMMED them hard onto the tray and walked away. it made such a loud awful sound! As she walked away, I did not hold back and I yelled at her in Spanish, "WOW WHAT A RUDE WOMAN!!!" and other people looked up. She just kept walking. I had another opportunity to tell her again and yeah I did tell her. Not that I was looking for her, but she just happened to be in my path. They didn't do a good job of taking away dirty dishes from the seating areas. There were stacks of cups and plates and bowls, trash, and empty beer and water bottles everywhere. It looked really sloppy like the morning after a party. At about noon, they brought out some hot food items, and more dishes to stack. Dessert items were meh but there was only 2 options, a strawberry cheesecake and another, I can't remember. it wasn't memorable I guess. Wish there'd been more dessert options and hot food options for breakfast.

Overall: 4 stars…read more This consolidates my review of both the lounges at Terminal 4 (EU) and 4S (outside EU) areas since they are quite similar. The lounge setup is actually done very well with sections decidated for a specific area from a play area for children, to some clear quiet areas for work and everywhere in between. Even the buffet is setup well where it can be accessed from both sides to reduce congestion. As for the food, I was generally disappointed as the hot foods looked unappetizing and the cold foods consisted mainly of salads, notably missing a large selection of cheeses and the famed Iberian ham. That said, the candy bar with popcorn, chips, and candy makes up for the sweet tooth component. The drinks on the other hand is well stcoked from a large variety of non-alcoholic fizzy drinks for all childrens desires to a generous selection of wines and beers for adults. The lounge also has separate areas for showering and resting, which are incredibly useful for those with tiresome connections or are otherwise just tired. Accessible by flying One World Business or with OW Sapphire, this lounge offers a lot of greatness outside the food department.

I was happy to see, given airport rules and the fact we were about to board a super long direct flight back to LAX, that despite it being mid-morning, all the drinks were out, by which I mean a decent number of pretty good looking Spanish wines, a decent handful of relatively mid-tier spirits, two amari, vermouth, cans of beer, as well as espresso from an auto-espresso-machine, and several juices. Everything you need to make a whole bunch of cocktails if you're that sort of nerd. (For good and bad, everything's pour-yourself. The upsides are obvious - the main downside was that they didn't have anything for measuring, you just had to pour by eye. That's fine though, I was just making them for myself :D.) Obviously being still mid-morning, I didn't have a chance to try *all* the wines (though one other benefit of being pour-yourself is that made it easy to pour a *small* amount of wine, if you did want to try a couple, which I did (pretty decent.) I was amused to note that the two amari and the vermouth were all classic Italian brands rather than Spanish, though. Also had a solid brandy Negroni and a great Giribaldi (orange juice and amaro :)). And an espresso by itself, which was just decent (decent enough for free, that's for sure.) There wasn't any line for it when we were there (again, mid-morning), either. Food-wise, at the time, there were a handful of different sandwiches, which were all fairly mediocre by themselves. They also had a diy selection of salami and cheese, with olive oil and vinegar. Put those together and you have much better sandwiches! There was plenty of space when we got there - and it was nice that it had a solid 2nd-floor view to outside that got plenty of natural light... even if it was a view of a parking lot, not the runway. If I were paying to get in, though, I dunno. Might still be worth it if we wanted to do a wine tasting while we were there... wine at an airport outside a lounge would be like 15+ bucks a glass. Maybe not mid-morning though. I already miss having a card that let me and my wife into places like that for free, and I haven't flown anywhere else yet since, lol.
