You lot are very literal… Maybe I should have asked, which one and how was it too?
haha yes you should have. Mine was from Switzerland to Budapest and back. It was okay, just a little tight. I also didn’t like the stops during the night, for example in Vienna. But it’s definitely and experience. Just next time I book a more comfortable cabin.
When doing my military service (sweden) I got rides on SJ’s night trains plenty of times in their six bunk cabins. With five other enlisted. I didn’t mind it but it was Spartan. Simple and serviceable. And you felt the ride. If I had young kids with me I would get a private two or three bunk cabin.
But I still remember waking up in the mornings, leaving the cabin to head out into the corridor to open a window and inhale the fresh northern air.

I did a sleeper train in Thailand and it was amazing. During the day it had seats and at some point in the evening a person would come and turn the compartments into bunks. There was food too if I remember.
On many occasions, in Europe (the Austrian ones are good, the new Swedish ones to Germany are decent), the UK (London-Scotland) and Australia (Sydney to Melbourne and Brisbane; they’re comfortable and good value, though about to be phased out because the management believe that seats are good enough). I can recommend it.
