About Railway Lounge Access

I have had an access to lounges on New Delhi Railway Station PF 1 & 16 and OLD Delhi Rly stn
Cards used - IDFC Wealth CC, AU Vetta CC
Experience -
New Delhi PF1 - best among the three, in terms of both service and food quality. Buffet system. Breakfast is the best meal. 2hr stay allowed.
New Delhi PF 16 - Buffet system, Breakfast is better than other two meals. 2hr stay allowed.
Old Delhi - No Buffet system. I was given a choice to either opt for DOSA or a Veg thali, thus only limited food available. it was part of a restaurant only, without any separate waiting area.

Lunch is good too
Specially paneer , you can ask for non veg to be served at table ( topical train chicken taste )
Dinner never had

Plat 16 is best specially their couch at upstairs.
Slept 8 hrs once 💀 it was good comfortable sleep

I don't like plat no 1 because it's close to gate of embassy road side and their sitting is shithole

But the couch upstairs at PF 16 are chargeable right?
 
No bruh
There are 3 section

Left to stairs is glass packed inside is massage chair ( chargeable)
Middle & whole open area with couch & all is normal sitting then extreme right is sleeping bed inside glass room that's chargeable

I never sat downstairs
That's great info, will try next tym
 
2 hr stay for swipe
If you have say 4 complimentary lounge
You can ask counter guy to Take 2 swipe in one go
So you can get 2+2 4 hr in total
Only one swipe is allowed in 24 hr in one lounge
For same card

Food for delhi railway lounge plat 1 & 16

Same like airport lounge
But but if you want non veg you can ask the lady / service guy . They will serve you at table but it won't be at the counter
I have an AU Ixigo credit card, which offers two complimentary railway lounge accesses per quarter. My mother and I are traveling to Delhi by train. Is there any trick to access the lounge for both of us at the same time?

New delhi railway station or old Delhi ?

At platform 16 or even 1
You can ask to swipe 2 acesss at once
Works seemless on idfc .
Icici i have coral & it has just 1 lounge access so no experience but it would work .
 
They do. Ask for pnr

New delhi both lounge are good
Specially 16 no
Has kick-ass couch on top floor

Food was almost similar on both

Old Delhi never tried because it wasn't open 24*7 as written more like day cafe with free food
I had best food in old delhi lounge (i gues sit was at plateform 4)
I asked for thali (lunch) and raj kachori (way better than haldiram's)

I gues its new. Because even chai was awesome

On NDLS , Pf16 lounge will ask for ticket (boarding/debording doesn't matter but need PNR), and they have great seating arrangement

Two month ago, i even access at pf1 using rupay platinum DEBIT card.

Rupay SELECT wasn't working but PLATINUM did worked for me

At pf 1 you can use two different card, or can use one IDFC card with +1 guest access .
They won't even ask whose card is it. So you can bring friends card as well
PF16 lounge will ask for PNR, name, name on card as it was my experience
