Daa Business Lounge

Pleasant, comfortable, relatively quiet space. There's no hot breakfast and the pastries are hit or miss, but the yogurt cups and mini smoothies are quite tasty.

The rating reflects the comparison of very many business class lounges that I have continue to experience globally. This lounge is lacking and the food offerings are poor: soup, bread, cheese, scones, some fruit and the staff need to be welcoming and friendly with at least a smile. On the day of writing this review there was a lack of (quality) business newspapers no Sunday Times, no FT, no Sunday Business Post!! and a handful of Sunday Independents which I had to ask for as the few in the lounge were already utilised and the answer I got was look around for one really ?? Even comparing this lounge to the Aer Lingus lounge a few metres away or even the lounge in T1 this lounge doesn't offer the business traveller anything close to what others elsewhere offer. But if you have ever been into the Etihad lounge there's the best standard business class lounge in Dublin airport. I think in future I'd probably stay out in a restaurant in the concourse area of T2.....at least you could get the opportunity to eat some food

It's a shared lounge for several airlines but is good enough

Home made gluten-free tomato soup for lunch was tasty

Very small and private first-class lounge located between T1 T2, down the hall from Emirates and right next to Aer Lingus' lounge. DAA is a third-party lounge and serves SkyTeam airlines, but is also a part of the Priority Pass network if you have it. It's not a large lounge, but quite comfortable if you get there early and box out some space at one of the low tables with the comfy leather chairs. They have tea and coffee, baked sweet goods, and a very good stone-milled bread which pairs nicely with the exceptionally rich butter they have in their mini-fridge. There is a kids' playroom behind one glass door, and a small business lounge with 2 iMacs and an HP laser printer behind another glass door, just in case you need to print out something before you fly. What truly set this lounge apart was the friendliness of the staff. Helpful in directions to useful shopping in the 2 terminals, quick to jump and assist with any requests involving the airport at large, and glad to let me borrow an EU-UK charger and fumble around for a power plug behind their desk. After apologizing for being a nuisance, I was warmly told that they were there to help me, and that nothing I'd ask for would be too much trouble. I look forward to coming back through here, and if you have a layover in Dublin this is the only place you should come to.
