    Mediocre lounge.  

    Free WiFi (...but all of YYZ has free WiFi now), and comfortable seating.  Better than sitting at the gate, but nothing to write home about.

    The bathrooms were considerably smaller and not as clean as other lounges I've visited.

    It's fine. Don't bother with negative reviews. Friendly staff.

    It's not a well appointed lounge at all, but relative to what's in the terminal, this is a godsend.  I have a problem when the seats in the lounge aren't as comfortable as those outside and it's more crowded inside than out.  But that's not the case here at all, and maybe because everyone has spent so much time bashing the lounge... it's always so empty when I visit.  Better for me then!

    This isn't a club for Admirals.

    Ok, to be honest I don't really have that much of a clue what true Navy Admirals are into... but I'm assuming that it's not 'free copies of the Toronto Star' and 'shitty trail mix'.

    They have four old school desktop computers so that the true Admiral can plot his course towards more plentiful ports of bounty.    

    Yes, there's an occasionally manned, poorly stocked bar.

    Yes, there are chairs where you can ogle the other free-Toronto-Star readers and their marvelous wealth and/or ability to mooch lounge coupons.

    No flight from here is more than four hours.  This lounge exists only so that the American Way magazine can have another location listing for an Admirals Club.  

    If you're OneWorlding overseas, the BA lounge on the other pier of the terminal is quite good.   But if you're off to the USA, this is the only option.

    Now that WiFi is free in the terminal, there's absolutely no reason to waste your time stepping in the door.

    I use lounges to get away from the noise and chaos of the main terminal, and for that, this lounge did its job. Otherwise it's one of the saddest and dinkiest Admirals Clubs around.

    Not very much seating so I could see it get crowded during peak travel times (I was there at 6AM and it was 1/3 full). The food and beverage selection sucks. There was one kind of tea (white girl problems, I know).

    They do have free WiFi and had more newspapers than other Yelpers experienced, so good on them for progressing.

    Restrooms are located right by the check-in desk, which I found a little odd.

    No windows to the outdoors, either.

    Admirals Club in Terminal 3 is quite small compare to other AA lounges in the bigger hub and it can get quite crowded.

    There are no complimentary wifi services, but there are 2 computer terminals for you to surf the internet and access to printer.

    There are complimentary tea, coffee and cookies but that's it! Oh yes there are free apples. If you are really hungry, there are food to order with a price.

    As not as my lounge access is complimentary, I don't mind. However if I going to be charged or require a membership, I don't think I am going to waste money on that!

    This is your average airport club/lounge, with nothing really notable by way of amenities.... definitely nothing worth getting to the airport early for.  There's also no complimentary WiFi here (Toronto is NOT in the US, lest we forget!  So this is technically an international lounge, which means no complimentary WiFi for members).  The staff is friendly though.

    It's important to note that this club is after security AND US Customs/Immigration pre-clearance, so if you're a member but not flying out on a US-bound flight (AA or otherwise) from T3, you won't have access to this club.

    Worst Admiral's Club I've seen. Almost non-existent signage to find the club in the first place. If you do find it, you'll be greeted with gruff and poor service, limited & cramped seating, tiny restrooms, very poor selections of food for purchase, thimble-sized pours for drinks, no choice in snack foods (there were only cookies when I was there), and non-standard wifi login. Boo.

    Located right after U.S. Preclearance in Terminal 3, this Admiral's Club location is somewhat of a 'no frills' version. While the location is modern, is kept clean, and has a homely feel, the lack of many amenities such as a fully-staffed bar, showers, computer work stations, and free local calls brings down the standards of some of the best Admiral Club locations I've visited (the LAX location hands down is the best!). Daily passes are available for $50 for those who lack elite AAdvantage status or who have not paid the yearly fee.  Great yes, but I feel if executives if American read this, they should try to modernize this location and bring it to par with other locations in the chain.

Map location is approximate. Help us map it!
