    A nice lounge but found difficulty to access to this lounge. As part of One World alliance we had Qatar ticket with One World Emerald elite status but the staff said we cannot use this lounge because Qatar didn’t sign the agreement with them.

    The staff was kind enough to allow us to use the lounge this time but next time we might have a difficulty to get in again if the agreement between Qatar and British airways lounge didn’t sort out

    It’s an ok lounge, nothing more. The hot food was tepid, but tasty. When I asked for a milk alternative (almond, or oat, or coconut milk), they didn’t have any. When asked what do they offer clients who might not want normal milk, they just said there is no alternative. This is very poor for a BA lounge offering. I understand about not offering almond milk due to allergens, but oat or coconut milk are more than acceptable alternatives. It’s very poor of a BA lounge to not be offering these. On the day I visited the lounge, their Wifi was also not working and nothing was offered as an alternative. It was only one particular employee who helped with giving us the password to the lounge next door. I’m thoroughly unimpressed.

    A great lounge in all respects – good food, excellent drinks and solid service. BA really does have the edge at Cape Town. The lounge doesn’t even appear too full when 2 x 777s are leaving. I have used this facility many times and it delivers every time.

    I was recently at CPT and found myself outside of the BA lounge violently ill. The BA lounge kindly let me rest there until the medics arrived and took care to call my airlines to tell them I would not be making the flight. I was not even flying BA. Thank you BA Lounge Cape Town.

    Nice lounge but air con is not good when 37 degrees outside. And please get a quiet zone so we don’t have to listen to loads of selfimportantt idiots chatting in loud voices on their mobile phones. Very irritating listing to twaddle!!

    A great lounge overall – British Airways is one of only two airlines (with Emirates!) to offer a dedicated lounge.

    Impressive reception with lovely lounge reception staff. Lounge layout allows to discover different areas such as the wine bar or the quiet zone near the entrance. Comfy armchairs and fabulous lights. Beautiful.

    Good selection of hot and cold options. Some packaging could be improved as a lot of plastic wrapping used.

    Good selection of newspapers and magazines. Wifi not unlimited which is a shame. Showers available which I handy after beach.
