My journey from Madrid to Granada proved to be extremely impressive. The price was very good. The staff were always friendly and had a big smile on their faces. In addition, the train arrived on time in Granada and the seats were very comfortable, which made the journey a lot more relaxing and enjoyable. However, the noise level was not adequate and there were several transfers, which made the journey more difficult and time-consuming. Also, almost no consideration was given to hygiene, as the toilets were not well maintained. All in all, however, a good journey!

I have nothing to criticise about the trip. Everything went smoothly. The numerous advantages definitely include the punctuality of the train, the cleanliness of the sanitary facilities and, of course, the helpfulness of the staff. In my opinion, the price-performance ratio was very good. As I had no negative experiences, I give it 5 stars.
Pros
IconNo delay
IconPleasant temperature
Cons
IconMany passengers.
The timetable from Madrid to Granada was very straightforward and went without a hitch. I didn't have to change trains and there were no delays. The journey took about three and a half hours and I travelled on the AVE 2396. There were a lot of passengers, but the air conditioning meant it wasn't stuffy and the temperature was very pleasant. I was also able to reserve my seat. As the toilets and the train itself were very clean, I think the price-performance ratio was very high.
