Has anyone travelled on the trenhotel sleeper train before?

Question

What's it like? I'm taking it from Paris to Madrid and have read very mixed reviews!

Answer 1

yeah i did it. eurostar to paris from london first.

it was really good.

if ur sharing the room you stand a good chance of being kept up all night talking, or at least trying to!!

Scary thing is that the conductor takes your passport off you until you arrive at Madrid Chamartin in the morning- but you get a nice sticker on the back saying enjoy your trip.

Buffet can be a bit expensive, but its not bad...

Beds are comfortable, although you have to remember there can be up to 4 people in your room, and with luggage, it can, and will get crowded!!

Enjoy your trip. Try and wake up about 1hr30mins before arrival and you should see some nice scenery.
