The T2 Singapore Airlines lounge for Star Alliance Gold class members, can get very busy especially at peak travel times. When I was last there it was morning and was full to the rafters with business travellers.
As always when a lounge is busy, the newspapers and magazines are few and far between and staff have hardly enough time to refill the food before it is gobbled up by hungry and greedy travellers! Despite the hustle and bustle, it is still pleasant enough. The food selection was good enough for me with boxed cereal, croissants and juice satisfying my breakfast requirements. They also have Asian options such as congee, noodles, curry and dim sum. The cups here are tiny and really not big enough for a good cup of tea or coffee.
The tables are cleaned and cleared regularly, there is wireless internet, massage chairs and clean toilets with showers.
The highly annoying thing about Singapore airlines lounges is that they never call the flights, there is probably a good reason for this as there are so many SIA flights departing that they would be disturbing you constantly with announcements. However, it does leave you a bit on edge about leaving to get to your flight and you sometimes go too early to compensate or late because you forget! Beware of this, as if you are used to lounges where your flight is called, you could be in danger of missing your flight while awaiting the non-existent call.
Staff, however are happy to let you know if the flight is on time and what time you should leave to get to the gates, but you do have to ask as this information it is not offered to you.
All in all, the T2 Gold class lounge is not bad but not the best I have experienced.
