The journey was not good at all. I didn't have wifi or a working power outlet. The seats were worn and really hard. It was so noisy that you couldn't relax at all. The food was good as the food was very good. However, the staff was very unfriendly. I had a reservation option and information was also given to me. The toilets were not clean now, but not dirty either. I did not have to change trains, but still the train was not on time. Price-performance ratio is not good.
