The review
The pick of the new Nightjet for two travelling together: a private compartment with its own toilet and a proper shower cubicle, breakfast brought to the door and lounge access before departure. It is still a scheduled night train rather than a land cruise, with no restaurant car, so eat in Vienna or Hamburg first. There is only one of these compartments per train.
For
- Separate shower cubicle, unlike the wet-room bathroom in the standard sleeper
- À la carte breakfast served in the compartment
- ÖBB lounge access, welcome drink and snack included
- Arrives in central Hamburg in the morning, saving a hotel night and a flight
Against
- Only one Comfort Plus compartment per train
- Bunk beds, so one traveller climbs to the upper berth
- No restaurant car and no evening meal
