ReviewsReviews for the bus trip from Munich to Budapest
The customer opinion was acquired via Cimenio. Cimenio incentivises its users for giving an honest opinion and proving the booking with a photo of the travel ticket.
Advantages
CheapDisadvantages
UncomfortableLong rideNoisy peopleThe bus ride felt like an eternity. Even though everything was on schedule, the journey was very long. On this long journey, the seats also became very uncomfortable again. Flixbus should replace the soggy seats. The toilets were fine. Wifi, air conditioning and other equipment worked normally. The other people on the bus were constantly shouting loudly and not considerate.
Even though the journey was cheap, it cost a lot of nerves.
Advantages
Price favourableOn timeStaff friendlyDisadvantages
Seats dirtyThe journey was very pleasant and went smoothly. I did not have to change buses and the bus arrived on time.
The staff were very nice and helped passengers load their luggage.
There were also power sockets and wifi access.
There were no toilets on the bus. Instead, there were breaks during the journey.
Unfortunately, the seats were relatively dirty. I had to clean them myself before I could sit down.
