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.
