Renfe Sala Club

Es una sala muy grande, comparada con otras, aunque tiene menos variedad que por ejemplo la de Valencia o Tarragona.
Aquí las bebidas son de tirador y bueno, a caballo regalado (por decirlo de alguna manera), no se le mira el dentado!
Se puede acceder con la tarjeta plata o dorada con billete cualquiera o con el billete preferente.

I really enjoyed the time that I spent here while waiting for my train. I was traveling from Madrid to Barcelona on this bullet train. This was a really nice lounge with good trail mix, coffee, tea and other items that were delicious.
They really treated people nicely and it was worth the extra money to travel first class and get the extras associated with it, such as this lounge.
There was a quiet section in the lounge that was very nice. Lounges across from the platform which was also very good. Customer service was somewhat lacking but it was still very lovely to be in this lounge.

Algo bueno debía tener estar todas las semanas viajando entre Madrid y Barcelona!
Justo en las salidas del piso superior, delante de la puerta 12 esta la sala club lounge, para tener acceso a ella hay 2 opciones, tienes billete preferente (o club todo loco!) o llevas acumulados puntos tempo a cascoporro como es mi caso.
Una vez dentro enseñas tu tarjeta tempo especial (si gastas 3000 € anuales), toman nota también de tu viaje y pasas dentro.
Se trata de una sala llena de sofás, recovecos mas tranquilos y privados, prensa variada del día, un televisor con las noticas, y ahora viene lo mejor… Una vitrina nevera doble y es barra libre! Yuhuu! Refrescos, agua, zumos, cervezas… (2 cervezas y a dormir agustico en el AVE!)
Y también otra zona con snacks salados (patatas fritas, aceitunas, frutos secos), y también dulces (galletas, palmeritas y chocolates varios). Además de la clásica maquina de café, maquina de hielo…

If you bought 1^st class Eurail passes & 1^st class reservations for AVE train travel in Spain, the use of the Sala VIP Lounge is complimentary. We visited & rested at both the Madrid Atocha Station (across from ~Platform 14) and the Barcelona Sants Station but I believe there are a couple more such as Sevilla. I liked the Madrid one better because 1) it was bigger 2) color scheme was warming, calming, and more luxurious, and 3) there was a nice Quiet Area. If there’s any reason to get to the train station, this is it. Since everything is so expensive in Spain (e.g. $ 4 for a large McDonald’s fries), the lounge’s FREE EVERYTHING: snacks (chips, pre-​packaged pastries, trail mix) and beverages (coffee, tea, sodas, bottled juices, beer, and bottled water/​sparkling water) is really appreciated. Plus using the lounge’s restroom is better than the general ones at the train station. And after getting a respite from it all, you get to travel by AVE train in the 1^st class train coaches which has its perks too!
