noneIt was a very nice and relaxed journey, as so often the train was on time and travelled quite quickly. There were no interruptions during the journey and it was pleasantly quiet, so I was able to concentrate on my work. The staff and ticket inspectors were friendly. The train was clean and you could use the toilets. A good journey for a fair price. Gladly again!
Advantages
PunctualityServiceDisadvantages
ToiletsI really enjoyed the train journey from Rome to Como, as many things went well and only the little things were not quite right. The train was on time and well equipped with wifi and charging facilities. The staff were also very friendly and were able to help me with a question. Only the toilets were not completely clean, so I avoided using them
Advantages
CleanlinessDisadvantages
PunctualityUnfortunately, I realised on arrival that the train was much too late. On the positive side, however, I found that the staff were always willing to help me. I also have to report that the toilets were relatively very clean. The price-performance ratio was definitely fair. There was good wifi on the journey and the reception was also constant. I give it 4 stars and recommend the journey to others.
Advantages
Clean seatsDisadvantages
No weaknesses were detected.I travelled for five hours. In the meantime, I was able to keep myself entertained with a film thanks to the wifi. Fortunately, the train was pretty punctual. As usual, I experienced an appropriate level of helpfulness from the staff. Cleanliness was a top priority.
Advantages
CleanlinessDisadvantages
PersonnelThe only downside I noticed was the unfriendly and unhelpful staff. The advantages I can mention are that it was very clean and hygienic and the wifi was very good and, above all, constant. I should also add that I bought the ticket online at a reasonable price. I can definitely give it 4 stars and recommend the train connections.
Advantages
PersonnelDisadvantages
PunctualityUnfortunately, one of the negative experiences was that my train arrived almost half an hour late. Nevertheless, I can say that the train journey itself was a complete success. The sanitary facilities were kept very clean, there was a good internet connection and I had a comfortable seat. I bought my ticket online long before the journey. I didn't have to change trains. Recommendation.
Advantages
Booking optionsPriceHygienePunctualityDisadvantages
Wifi connectionNeed to changeVolumeMy journey from Rome to Como was excellent. I booked my seat in second class, carriage 3, row 17 and seat J flexibly online. Booking the journey was relaxed and uncomplicated. The price was reasonable and worthwhile. Good attention was paid to hygiene, as the toilets and seats were clean and well maintained. In addition, the timetable was well thought out, we left on time at 13:15 and arrived on time at around 17:15. This made planning easier, as I arrived in Como on time. However, the wifi connection was not particularly efficient as it proved to be unstable and kept wifiing out. During the journey, I had to change trains several times, which made the journey much more difficult as I had to constantly go back and forth with my luggage. The noise level on the train was not ideal. But overall it was a great journey!
Advantages
HygieneDisadvantages
None at allI mainly noticed advantages on the journey. I was very pleased with the friendliness of the staff. The toilets were very clean and hygienic. I also bought the ticket online at a fair price. I didn't have to change trains and the journey took about eight hours. Overall, I would like to say that I recommend the connection and give it 5 stars.
Advantages

rude staffpoor networkUnfortunately, this journey was not as pleasant as I am used to. The advantages include the fact that my train was very punctual, that it was clean in the compartment and at the station and, of course, the good price. The disadvantages, however, include the fact that the staff hardly spoke any English and that the internet connection on the train was extremely poor. Unfortunately, I can only give 3 stars for this.
Advantages
PunctualDisadvantages
PersonnelOn the whole, the journey was reasonably relaxed. The train was on time to the minute. As I didn't have to change trains, I was able to concentrate on my work for the entire 4 hours. The network connection was very fast and fortunately had no outages. Unfortunately, the staff were not at all willing to provide any information, let alone help me. As the trip otherwise went very well, I recommend it.
