Cons

Train a little late

Some time ago I travelled to Slovenia or Ljubljana on the Westbahn. I was able to easily book tickets online for seat 17 in carriage 4. The journey was very quiet, although the train left Vienna a little late, but I didn't mind. The train was very clean inside and the toilets were very hygienic. The staff were very nice and chatty. The free wifi and power sockets also worked fabulously as always! I had to travel for about 5.5 hours without changing trains. It wasn't particularly noisy on the train. As always, the price-performance ratio is excellent!
