The Busses are really comfortable. You will have your own little cozy cabin and even though I’m 195cm i felt like I had plenty of space. They provided a bottle of water and we made 2 stops along the way.

It was a good train ride but we were disappointed that we didn't get the cabin that we had booked and paid for and expected to have.We booked a 'VIP' 2-berth cabin, but we ended up with a 4-berth cabin (and obviously paid the price for 4 berths). Therefore, our cabin was not as comfortable as it should have been, as we weren't able to have proper upright seating. We would be more careful next time to make sure we got what we paid for, if we book anything again.

I booked a bottom berth. When I checked in, the agent told me I was to be in a different car but still in a bottom berth. When I arrived someone else had been assigned that seat and the scroll on the bed had his name. I had to take a top berth in another compartment and none of the agents on board would help. Otherwise th train is clean and attractive. The beds are very hard but still aside from these things I enjoyed the ride.
