I left the Yotel at around 3PM, and headed to Tunisair check-in, which was just a short walk away, also in Terminal 4. There was a separate business class line, though it took about 10 minutes for the couple in front of me to be helped. The agent who checked me in was quick, and…

You might have missed it but there is also a upstairs area with additional seating and some rooms where you can get some sleep.
Clarins is free, service is very friendly, but can be crowded in the afternoon/evening.
Lucky, please mention that the lounge has two floors, and up there (exact same layout btw) is always more quiet
My husband and I used this lounge for a 10 hour layover (not quite enough time to head into the city and do much) between flights from the US and to Kenya. We napped on the couches in the TV room for a couple hours and enjoyed lunch and and afternoon snack. We also used the shower which was nicely appointed and great for freshening up before the next 8 hour flight. We had access through Delta Gold status. Overall it was a nice experience and I'd definitely recommend it for longer layovers!
Who are you and what have you done with Ben? Two marginally positive reviews of things in the UK??? Yotel and now this....
As someone else said, you missed the upstairs which is considerably more private. Also, there's a generous selection of newspapers and magazines. The spa offers some free treatments, too.
As for the Sky Team lounge at Dubai looking like London it's actually the opposite. London was an earlier outpost.
I remember spending a lot of time here in the years before Delta moved out.
My biggest complaint was that the staff were contract and had no ability to print boarding passes or assist with any flight issues
Lucky, As I regularly depart from T4 on Etihad and also being a Priority Pass member, which of the two lounges would you recommend I use next time I'm flying out of T4 on Etihad?
@Meg In case you encounter a long layover at Heathrow again, there are possibilities if you are so inclined. Twice in the past, we had 6 1/2 hour layovers at Heathrow. We set up a ride with a limo service in advance, the limo service kept our hand luggage, dropped us off at a location, picked us up a few hours later with the hand luggage, and dropped us back at Heathrow. First time we went to Windsor Castle and second time was Kew Gardens. No issues whatsoever and we actually enjoyed our 3-4 hours in London each time --more so than sitting in a lounge (which we seriously considered until we found this option).
That TunisAir livery has to be the most boring plane livery i have seen yet....
If that's the one I was in ahead of the evening KAL flight to Seoul (was 777, then 380 now 747-8), the upstairs bit is not that obvious and requires a trek up a long staircase though there's probably a lift somewhere. Was all but deserted when I finally found my group aloof aloft. Recall empty buffet dishes not being refilled promptly but it was otherwise ok for an hour or two.
Thanks for reviewing all these lounges! Definitely a great option for long layovers, especially with the Clarins spa, showers and self-serve bar. I will investigate Priority Pass... looking for some tips on the best way to get lounge access for a good (or even better, free) price if you have any?
Nice article!

I'm in this lounge as we speak and it's infested with mice! Seen three in the last 15 minutes!
