The journey from Saarbrücken to Hamburg was really pleasant. Despite the long journey time, it didn't get tiring as the bus meets all the requirements for a good journey. The seats are comfortable and make it easy to sit for long periods. There is enough freedom of movement and the seats are clean. The toilet was also clean and there were no unpleasant smells. The bus was well air-conditioned and ventilated. The journey itself was smooth and without delay. We left on time and arrived in Hamburg almost on schedule, only a few minutes late. Free internet is provided and the power sockets also work. The staff was friendly and with the good prices there is really nothing to complain about. Only to be recommended.
