Karyn SThe train ended up being very easy and comfortable. I didn't have to show the voucher and exchange for a boarding pass anywhere the staff recognised is and were happy with that. Initially they had me in a four berth bay by myself but then the train attendant said that the company had moved me into a two-berth cabin. An upgrade. That was fine until around 9pm a man came and said he was sleeping in the other bed. A little bit awkward as there is not much room between the two beds. But apparently he was travelling with his wife and kids and they couldn't all fit in their cabin. Other than that, the train was on time, I slept well and arrived rested for exploring the next day. Oh and bring food or snacks because the the food on the train is expensive and not that great. But overall a good experience and I'd do it again for sure

Christopher WOn time.
Compact cabin but well laid out for 4 adults and suitcases.
Snacks laid on for brekkie and lots of food / drink offers from the train staff.
Mattresses a little hard but her decent kip.
WiFi just about allowed us to watch all and World Cup game live. And England won!!

Ushma SThe overall experience was better than I imagined. There were plenty of goodies. The air conditioning in the cabin was okay. If you were on the top bunks you couldn’t feel it much.

Ingrid VThe whole experience was a pleasure. The cabins were so clean and neat. The toilets were cleaned every hour. Highly recommend the foot spa too.

Elise CWe liked our experience but it was more expensive than a flight and a flight is a much better experience. They could work on cleaning more and having better breakfast. It’s something to do once, I would recommend over a sleeper bus for sure!

Yuanzhe LJust ok. Train was a bit dirty. Operator put the two tickets we bought on one booking into different train cars. Very annoying.

Chun TOur 2 bed cabin was switched to a 4 bed cabin due to a car issue which gave us less head room as I am 6' tall. Overall the cabin was nice. The bedding had slight odor. The cabin temperature also fluctuate during the night making it uncomfortable to sleep. For the cost of $450CAD and time of 14 hours, taking a plane would have been better.
