-I travelled with the ÖBB Nightjet NJ 420 from Cologne to Vienna and was completely satisfied! The provider was the Austrian Federal Railways (ÖBB) and it was a comfortable night train (Nightjet). The compartment was clean, the beds were freshly made and the staff were always friendly and helpful. The small private bathroom in the sleeping car and the delicious breakfast in the morning, which was brought directly to the compartment, were particularly pleasant. The journey was quiet and relaxed, so I arrived in Vienna feeling rested. I can highly recommend the ÖBB Nightjet NJ 420 for anyone who wants to travel comfortably and stress-free overnight
