I found the journey from Budapest to Vienna excellent. I didn't find the price of the ticket cheap, but not expensive either. I thought it was quite fair. The staff on the train were very friendly, polite and took a great deal of interest in my concerns. The wifi connection on the train was very efficient, which made it easier for me to work on my computer. Great attention was paid to hygiene. The toilets were very clean and well maintained. Unfortunately, there were a few transfers which made the journey more difficult. The reservation options were also not ideal. And the catering for seats was not very good either. As a result, I could see coffee stains on some seats. Overall a good journey as the good features outweigh the bad.

They always had a big smile on their face. There were also no transfers to make the journey easier. Unfortunately, not enough attention was paid to hygiene. The toilets were not clean.

My journey from Budapest to Vienna turned out to be particularly excellent. The price of the ticket was very good. The staff were friendly and polite and always respected their guests. A lot of consideration was given to hygiene as the toilets and washbasins were very well maintained. THE wifi was not very efficient. I could not use my mobile phone without problems.

Pros

Good service

Cons

Pricewise okay

I travelled to Vienna on the ÖBB EC 40346. After a nice short trip in Budapest, I was very tired and wanted to relax on the journey to Vienna.

I arrived at my destination in just under 2 hours and was very happy with the journey.

Pros

Punctual

Cons

Toilets unhygienic

It was really easy to book tickets online! I booked seat 4 in carriage 2. The journey was very quiet and the staff were very nice as always! The seats were very comfortable. The train was clean inside, but the toilets were very unhygienic. As I didn't change trains once and travelled via Fischamend, Asfinag, Friedrichshof etc., I travelled for almost 3 hours in total. As always, the price-performance ratio is excellent!

Pros

Favourable

Cons

No wifi

Unfortunately, I thought it was a pity that I reached my destination late, as the train was slightly delayed. I also thought it was a shame that there was no wifi. Nevertheless, I thought it was great that I could buy my train ticket very easily online and that it was very inexpensive. What I liked best was that I didn't have to change trains on my journey. The toilets were very well maintained.

Cons

Overcrowded

The timetable was like this: I boarded the EC143 at 10:42 on 24 February. After about two and a half hours, I arrived in Vienna at 13:19 with a slight delay. The journey was very comfortable, I didn't have to change trains, the seats were comfortable, there was paid wifi and friendly staff. Unfortunately, the train was overcrowded and the toilets were locked. As a result, the noise level was not very adequate and the hygiene at the end of the journey was rather mediocre.
