Eurostar Lounge Amsterdam

It's not much but it does the job. It's good that you exit the Netherlands and 'enter' the UK at the station as it saves a lot of time at St Pancras afterwards. This place is a bit bleak but I wasn't there long. Queue for customs and passport looked endless but was in fact quite swift once they opened up. One small café, stach I believe, selling half decent coffee and surprisingly not overpriced stroopwafels (not supermarket prices but I had forgotten to buy some and wasn't going to face my teen daughter without some!). Free water from a filtered, cold dispenser not far from the toilets so that was nice. Communication towards passengers is rather lacking sadly. My train was initially 20 mins late, which jumped to 40, then an hour...then suddenly it arrived about 15 mins late. Very confusing. Overall not too bad, but I imagine if you're a premium passenger you'd be a bit surprised there's no lounge for you. I was in the cheap seats so I didn't expect luxury lounges. As ever, my pics are rubbish. Just the emergency stroopwafel purchase 🤣

Heads up for anyone booked on Eurostar Premier: there is no Premier lounge once you have checked in and passed through passport control. The lounge is located near platform 2 outside of the Eurostar terminal. You can then check in and breeze through 30 minutes before departure. Don’t make the mistake many of us did by going through the terminal over an hour before departure to be met with minimal seating and the tiniest coffee shop with a queue back to border control.
