He came to pick us up on time and actually got to the destination early which can be a con. They provide water and a little snack. The seats recline and the headrest is adjustable. Id recommend especially as cheap

Overall, the experience was ok. One meal came with cold food that should have been warm (fries) and the other had too much mayonnaise on the sandwich.

It was a fun experience. We didn’t sleep well on the 3rd class, but the view was beautiful, and we spole with nice people, so I enjoyed the ride nonetheless! I would recommend brincing a neck pillow ☺️

We left on time and arrived at our destination a little bit early, we had a safe ride, we had a pitstop at a place to get food and use the bathroom, even though there was a bathroom on the bus. We were given blankets, but no pillows. Although I didn’t see them, my daughter noticed a few roaches on her side of the bus Which did damper her ability to sleep while this is supposed to be one of the best sleeper buses, the bed doesn’t all the way lay flat so it’s better than sitting up straight, but not a great way to get some good sleep.

Amazing experience. The night train service was perfect! I got a bed with clean and iron sheets... in the morning they serve you coffe and cookies while you are still in bed. The train is safe and clean.

The train was delayed for 2hrs due to tech issue. The bed is comfy, the aircond is icy cold. The lower bunker can be converted into 4 seated seats in the morning. The toilet is a bit smelly but bearable.
