The journey was not good. I didn't have wifi, but I had a power outlet. The seats were very comfortable and also smelled very good. The volume was very quiet and I had good food. The staff was educated and friendly. They gave me all the information I needed. I did not have any reservation facility. The toilets were so disgusting that I almost threw up. I did not have to change trains and the train was 2min late. Price-performance was poor.

The train journey was OK. I had good wifi but no power outlet. The seats were very comfortable and also smelled good. The noise was not pleasant and the food was not good either. I did not see the staff. They did not give me any information. I had a reservation option. The toilets were very dirty. I did not have to change trains. The train was on time. Price-performance ratio is OK.

The journey was good in some respects, but rather bad in others. What I must say is that the train was remarkably clean, because even the toilets were spotless. The train was delayed by five minutes, which I didn't find too bad. The staff were friendly, but when I had a question they couldn't answer it, which was a bit of a shame. Overall, not a bad journey.
