Seating options

During our visit, the lounge was at full capacity, with a noticeable line of passengers waiting to enter. The space itself is on the smaller side, furnished with standard lounge seating such as sofas and dining tables.

A standout feature is the presence of several curtained-off pods, each with a daybed for resting, a nice touch if you’re looking for a quiet moment.

While there are a few more stylish seating options, the limited space makes them feel slightly impractical; the area might benefit more from additional standard seating to better accommodate demand.

Food and Drinks

The beverage offering is basic, consisting of lower-tier spirits, soft drinks, coffee, beer, and wine. Food-wise, there was a reasonable selection of cold dishes that were quite enjoyable. However, the hot food selection was disappointing, just a single dish, which was not always replenished during our stay. A few sweets and apples rounded out the selection, but overall, the catering falls short of expectations.

Other Amenities

Beyond complimentary Wi-Fi, there is little else in terms of amenities. Notably, the lounge does not have its own restroom facilities; guests must use shared bathrooms outside the lounge. Unfortunately, these were in poor condition during our visit, which detracted further from the overall experience.

Bottom Line

The Marhaba Lounge in Zurich is functional but unremarkable. It works if you simply want a quick drink or snack before your flight, but the small space and high volume of visitors mean it’s unlikely to be a relaxing stopover.

If you’re looking for a more substantial meal or a calmer environment, you may be better off exploring one of Zurich Airport’s many restaurants.
