Pro

Beautiful view

Relaxed

Cons

None

I can only recommend it, the view is amazing and the journey was very relaxed as the train was on time and I didn't have to change trains, which saved me a lot of stress. The train was also clean and had comfortable seats. The staff were very friendly and you could see exactly where you were on the journey on a screen. The price-performance ratio was very good in my eyes.

Pro

Comfortable seat

Cons

Unclean toilets

Wifi and power socket available everywhere on the train, you could always use the wifi, the seats were comfortable and could be imagined, the service was friendly and helpful, the toilets were a bit unclean and there was no toilet paper. The train arrived on time and the price could be a little less.

Pro

Cleanliness

Cons

I could not recognise any weaknesses

One of the advantages of the journey for me was definitely that the train was on time to the minute. Fortunately, the staff were able to help me with a complication. The price of the ticket was definitely fair. I would definitely recommend buying your ticket online to avoid any problems. As a result, I would definitely give it five stars and make my recommendation.

My journey from Milan to Genoa was very good as the price was quite reasonable and good value in my opinion. The train also arrived in Genoa on time. The wifi connection was extremely efficient and stable. I was able to make calls, be entertained and do my work on my laptop during the journey. The staff were also very friendly, polite and helpful. They were always there for their guests' questions and concerns. Unfortunately, the volume was not optimal and hygiene was not particularly well looked after. The toilets and seats were not clean and hygienic. There were several transfers, which made the journey more time-consuming and difficult, as I had to change trains all the time. But it was a good journey!

Pro

Price performance

Cons

The toilets were dirty

The train was well equipped. I had wifi on the train. I was able to relax and work during the journey as I had enough legroom. The staff and service were very friendly. The only thing that bothered me was the hygiene of the toilet. It was very dirty.

The journey from Milan to Genoa was satisfactory overall. The staff were friendly and helpful, which made the journey pleasant. The ticket prices were fair and offered good value for money. The trains were mostly on time and offered sufficient comfort during the journey. However, the wifi was unreliable, which was annoying for me. The noise level on the trains was occasionally higher than expected, which impaired relaxation. In addition, the journey required changes at certain points, which limited the comfort somewhat. Overall, it was a positive experience with some small areas for improvement.

Pro

Relaxed

Cons

Seats

To avoid the stress of traffic jams and typical Italian traffic, I decided to take the train. The decision was absolutely the right one! The train was on time and the journey was very relaxed. The staff were also very friendly and helpful. The only thing I have to criticise is that the seats were a bit dirty and the wifi didn't work. But the price made up for all that as it is so cheap.

Pro

Price

Cons

Cleanliness

The best prices for train journeys I've ever had were in Italy, and this time the price was also very good. The journey itself was also very nice, but unfortunately the train was a bit lacking in cleanliness. The toilets were quite dirty and my seat wasn't exactly clean either. But otherwise I have nothing to complain about, the train was quiet plus I had a very nice view. All in all, the journey was quite good.

Pro

Pleasantly quiet ride

Cons

Toilets

A very pleasant, quiet journey, during which I was able to get some sleep. The journey was very relaxing, firstly because the train kept to all its times and secondly because it was very quiet and I was able to get some sleep. The comfortable seats only made it better. Only the toilets were a bit unclean and could have been better, but otherwise a good value journey that I can only recommend to anyone!

Pro

Good hygiene

Cons

Slightly late.

Unfortunately, my train was delayed by around ten minutes. In contrast, I can nevertheless report that the sanitary facilities were thoroughly cleaned. The facilities on the train were immaculate. There were several power sockets and the wifi was very good. As I enjoyed the journey apart from the slight delay, I can still give it four stars. The journey took about two hours and I didn't have to change trains.

Pro

Short journey time

Cons

Delay

I didn't think the journey from Milan to Genoa was the best, but it was fine because the train was slightly delayed, which meant I arrived at my destination late. Nevertheless, the journey time was very short and the ticket was quite cheap. I really liked the fact that I could use the online ticket I had just booked. I didn't have to change trains during the journey and I was able to use the good free wifi during the journey, the toilets were very clean and the train was easy to use.

Pro

Hygiene

Cons

No weaknesses at all

It was very positive that the train was very clean. The train was also very punctual and the staff were friendly. Unfortunately, the toilets were only partially clean. The price of the ticket was fair in my opinion. I recommend the train connection.

You can definitely do it
