As we were
early for our flight, we decide to check into Orchid Lounge in Ho Chi Minh City
Tan Son Nhat International Airport. Located after the immigration, the
entrance to orchid lounge is hidden in a small hallway between gate 10-14. You
will have to take an elevator down or you can take the stairs.
When I arrived,
I find the place to be pretty dark. The interior
of the lounge is pretty dated too! Fortunately, the lounge overlook the air
field of the airport and should have a good view during the day. No photo taking allow, thus pardon me for the poor photo quality.
Food
& Drinks
Even
feeling full, I still wanted to try the food in the hot food section especially
the spring roll. Sadly, there was limited choice – pho, Vietnamese spring roll
and salad. After trying lots of street food in Ho chi Minh City, I must say
that the food here is quite bad. The spring roll is tasteless and cold. If you
are planning to visit the lounge, do not come with an empty stomach. Drinks menu
were decent but not much sprits & liquor to choose from. On a brighter note,
there are a few type of beer available!
Additional Services
Free Wifi-service available. There are toilets located in the
lounge but no shower facilities.
Final
Thoughts
Overall, I
think that there is Orchid Lounge is a nice place to avoid the crowd in the
airport but the food need lots of improvement. Thus, if you only have a few
passes, I suggest you to save it for better lounge.
The lounge is open 6:00AM - 2:00AM (Daily) , Maximum 3hr stay
