Advantages
AtmosphereNice staffComfortableDisadvantages
DelayI can't find anything negative about this trip, I rate it four stars because there was one small thing that didn't fit and that was the delay of the train, everything else was great. The seats were very comfortable. The staff were very nice and provided good service. I ordered a coffee which arrived very quickly, was fresh and very reasonably priced. Many passengers used the wifi, but it was still great. It was very clean on the train. We had a stopover at Munich central station, and after a few minutes we were on our way.
The atmosphere during the journey was great and the view was very nice.
I recommend this trip despite the delay as it was the only negative thing.
