The train was a little bit late

I travelled from Viena to Hamburg on 20.07.2022. The train was full, but luckily I had booked a seat. The journey was ok and the restaurant is very nice and fast. The staff are very friendly, but the toilet is quite dirty and no one fills the toilet paper, but overall is good.
