The 'Maslin Lounge', Biman's Business Class Lounge, is one of the most basic, simply designed and decorated lounges I have ever taken advantage of.
I was disappointed with the lounge the moment I stepped into it, not because the lounge did not meet up to my expectations, but because of the poor welcome and service you get from the only waiter who serves passengers in the lounge.
Overall, the Biman Maslin lounge was average - better than those of PIA in Karachi and Uzbekistan Airways in Tashkent, but a bit disappointing after the high level of service I received flying Biman's business class product.
