The review
The standard choice for couples who want privacy and their own toilet without paying for the single Comfort Plus compartment. Seat61 calls these perhaps the best-designed sleeper compartments in Europe; the compromise is a wet-room shower that soaks the washroom floor when used. Breakfast and a welcome drink are included, but there is no restaurant car.
For
- Toilet and shower inside the compartment
- Breakfast chosen from a menu, plus welcome drink and lounge access
- Can be booked for sole use by one traveller
- Free Wi-Fi, wireless charging and key-card locking
Against
- Shower is a wand over the toilet area, so the floor gets wet
- Bunk beds, so one traveller climbs to the upper berth
- No restaurant car and no evening meal

- Space 25% of score

- 4.0 out of 10
- A welcome drink and an à la carte breakfast are included, but there is no restaurant car and no dinner service. 31
- Journey 20% of score
- 5.0 out of 10
- A practical 14-hour overnight transfer that runs mostly in the dark, and Seat61 advises allowing an hour for onward connections as Nightjets can run late. 41
