-I travelled on the ÖBB Nightjet NJ40463 from Munich to Venice and was completely satisfied. The booking was straightforward and the train staff were very friendly. My sleeper compartment was clean, quiet and well equipped, so I had a pleasant night. I found the private washbasin in the compartment and the fresh bed linen particularly practical. The journey through the Alps was scenically impressive and I slept wonderfully. A small breakfast was served in the morning and arriving right in the heart of Venice was just perfect. For me, this connection is one of the most relaxed and beautiful ways to travel to Italy

Stress when changing trainsDelaysDisturbanceI drove from Munich to Venice a few weeks ago, as I was on my way to a holiday. I found the journey and generally the whole trip was relatively stress-free. Only sometimes there was a bit of a rush when changing trains, as the trains were late. During the journey, the staff were nice and the wifi was exceptionally easy to use. Sometimes, however, the noise of the train was a bit disturbing.

NoiseWIFIComfortDear Sir or Madam, I took a trip from Munich to Venice. The staff on the train were very friendly. Moreover, there was no need to change trains, which made the journey much easier. Great attention was paid to hygiene. However, it was very noisy on the train. The wifi connection was very poor. The seats were not comfortable. I also saw old coffee stains or signs of poor hygiene in toilets. Overall, a satisfactory train journey.
Advantages
Beautiful landscapesDisadvantages
Poor servicePoor equipment on siteNot cleanWeak comfortMy train journey from Munich to Venice was rather disappointing. The impressive scenery along the route contributed positively to the journey. However, I couldn't help but notice that the cleanliness of the train left a lot to be desired. The seats were dirty and it seemed as if the cleaning staff had neglected their duties. Especially in the toilets
The value for money was disappointing. The tickets were expensive and the facilities on offer did not justify the price. The comfort also left a lot to be desired, especially the seats were uncomfortable and uninviting for a longer journey. One of the reasons for this was the cleanliness.
The journey also took longer than expected. The fact that there were no power sockets or free drinks at the seat, for example, was also not appealing.
The service on board was also unsatisfactory. The staff seemed disinterested and unhelpful.
This is exactly why the train journey was so disappointing. Not recommended.
