Is this sleeper train confortable? I am average height of around 6' and haven't seen any discussion as to the size of the beds. Also, is the train very noisy?

Hi there,

i am assuming you are talking about the 1st class carriage.

You will have a tight squeeze length wise. l am 6 "3" and couldnt totally stretch out. That being said - the compartments were comfy amd the beds themselves were comfy. The food was average (i would suggest bringing some sandwiches etc just in case!

Drinks were expensive - buy them beforehand.

The ride is quite quiet - unless your neighbouring passengers are noisy.

Cheers
