No weaknesses experiencedI would like to recommend my bus trip to Düsseldorf and praise the fabulous value for money. Even if you book at short notice, the prices for the tickets are good value compared to other means of travel, but it is worth booking early. I easily booked the ticket online and received it by email.
The bus was not full and the journey was quiet and stress-free.
As there is minimal foot traffic on the bus, there is no disruption from passengers running up and down. The departure was on schedule and with little delay the nice bus driver arrived at Düsseldorf ZOB.
All in all, a great trip and a great price. Really recommendable.

NoneThe night journey from Hamburg to Düsseldorf was flawless and can be recommended. The bus driver made sure the bus left on time and was very friendly.
The journey was quiet and relaxed. Most of the passengers were asleep and the traffic was light, so we made good time.
The seats are also very comfortable and there is enough legroom.
The bus was well tempered and the air was always fresh.
The wifi and the sockets at the seat worked.
The toilet was also very clean and as most of the guests were asleep, there was no queue to the toilet. All around a very good trip that I will do again.
Well worth the price here.
