IconAnnoying change of trains
We were in Budapest during the last summer holidays and therefore had to go back. First of all, I would like to mention the pleasant journey time and the nice staff. Unfortunately, the stressful change of trains was sometimes a bit annoying. The wifi during the journey was not good enough to watch a film to pass the time. The toilets were disappointingly not clean either. Overall, however, I am satisfied with the value for money.

After a short visit to friends, I had to get back from Budapest to Munich. My choice was then the train. I would like to start with the comfort, as it was really great on the train. I was also able to enjoy the peace and quiet in my own cabin. The only thing that bothered me a bit was that the toilets were very far from my cabin. Delays and stress when changing trains are unfortunately part of every journey. Nevertheless, I find that travelling by train is a very cheap way to travel.
