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.

The wifi worked, but was gone in the tunnels on the route. The power socket worked perfectly. Comfort was very pleasant. There was no noise on the train, it was pleasantly quiet, even in the normal compartments. The service was surprisingly unfriendly, possibly because it was late. The hygiene was perfect, everything was extremely clean. There was no need to change trains. The price-performance ratio was very good, I had also booked early. Unfortunately the check-in (online) did not work.
