NOT as advertised! I will never trust 12Go again. I paid a premium to get a premium bus as the trip was long, 19 hrs. The sleeper bus as horribly old and filthy. Nothing like advertised!!! It also smelled horrible, filthy, musty and made it impossible to sleep. The staff were young and very polite and attentive. The pickup was 1.5 hrs late but drop off was 1 hr early. Which just meant they drove fast during the last half of the trip (a little scary at times, but most bus companies do this). They have a serious side gig of transporting items on this bus so our luggage was held inside the bus in the very back which was a little strange. I complained to 12Go about the condition of the bus with pictures but they just send the review link. I wish I could attach pictures to this review. Thoroughly gross!

Our flight was cancelled and we did not get information by email, only by sms. We had got a new simcard, so we did not get the information. Our flight was 4 hours delayed and we missed our airport pickup from the hotel.

We were assigned top berth, which should have been specified during booking in case of mobility issue. Train was not clean. A fifth person was sitted in our 4-passenger cabin at some point during the trip.

No one spoke English on the bus. I tried to use google translate to chat with an attendant but they were dismissive and it was unclear when the bus would stop and when a toilet was available and when was the right time to get dinner/breakfast.
