European Sleeper Coöperatie U.A.

Over the past four months, I have traveled with European Sleeper six times, primarily between Amsterdam and Prague. I have experienced both the shared 5-person carriage and a private compartment. The crew is consistently kind, approachable, and ready to assist with any questions, which creates a very welcoming atmosphere. The beds are not luxurious, but they are comfortable enough for a good rest, and the overall travel experience is smooth and enjoyable. The scenery—particularly along the stretch between Dresden and Prague—is absolutely breathtaking and makes the journey even more memorable. European Sleeper also offers the option to book breakfast in advance, which is a convenient way to start the day without having to plan ahead. On top of that, it is sometimes possible to find last-minute train deals for as little as €40, making it an even more attractive option. If you are considering taking this train, I would highly recommend it. It is a quick, affordable, and convenient way to travel across Europe, combining practicality with a unique and memorable experience.

We left on time and only arrived about an hour later in Berlin due to German rail infrastructure works, which wasn’t European Sleeper’s fault. Honestly, it was even a nice bonus since I got an extra hour of sleep! The staff are simply the best of any train service in Europe — always helpful, smiling, and genuinely taking care of passengers. When my carriage changed and I couldn’t find my cabin, a staff member personally walked with me until we located it. That kind of dedication really makes a difference. I shared my couchette with four other solo travelers, which turned out to be a great experience. It was inspiring to exchange stories with new people while still having a comfortable night’s rest. I arrived in Berlin refreshed and ready for the day. Yes, the carriages are older, but the service more than makes up for it. And I’m excited to see European Sleeper upgrade their comfort standards in the future — it will only get better.

Amazing Trip: 15-19 October 2025 Den Haag - Praha I was honestly nervous after booking my trip because I saw so many negative reviews and thought, what did I just sign up for?! However, my experience turned out to be great. 1. Punctuality: We departed only 5 minutes late and arrived right on time on the way there and departed on time and arrived 15min late on the way back. Such a small delay on the 14h route is nothing and understandable. 2. Cleanliness: Yes, it’s an older train, but the bathrooms and sink area were clean when I boarded and didn’t smell at all. The compartment wasn’t spotless, but it matched the usual European train standards. I’ve seen similar conditions on NS, DB, etc. 3. Staff: Everyone was kind and professional. There’s no service in second class, but the staff didn’t disturb passengers at night with multiple ticket checks (which often happens elsewhere). 4. Comfort: I’m 175 cm and could sleep comfortably with my legs fully stretched. If you’re over 180cm, it might be a bit tighter. There’s no bedding in second class, but I brought a sleeping bag and it worked perfectly. On the way back I got the comfort thing and they gave: water, pillow, bed sheet and blanket. It was clean and ironed. 5. Price: €30 from Den Haag to Prague is absolute no-brainer. 6. Eco-friendly: It’s better for the environment than flying, and you might even meet some nice people along the way and great views during the day. Overall, I hope this feedback helps! Maybe the experience varies by route or train, but mine was great — and I’d definitely do it again soon 💖

I had a great time on the night train of European Sleeper. The compartments are cosy and well equipped. The staff is very helpful and professional. The train has a solid 6 hours of silent driving without stops during the night offering the change to sleep well. There was an interruption, so we had to take a replacement bus which was very well organised and guided by the stewards. You can even order a coffee in the morning. Absolutely amazing. And all that at an affordable price. I'll definitely take the sleeper again!

I travelled in a budget shared sleeper compartment with my brother and young niece from Brussels to Berlin and back. I love night trains and knew from using the ones still running in France for example that the rolling stock is from the 90s or even earlier and that space is limited! Concerning this trip, the prices were good, booking was straightforward, the toilets and washrooms were working, stocked and clean. The compartment was cleaner on the way back than in, but nothing horrible. We ordered a coffee in the morning on the return trip which came quickly and most welcome. Personnel are friendly and helpful. If you want more comfort, then probably it is best to go for the slightly more expensive options, but really no complaints. I'll be using the service again, especially when the new line via Switzerland is inaugurated. Looking forward to my next trip!

Completely satisfied with the travel by Euro Sleeper. The blankets and pillow were clean and not smelling. The coupe was cozy. There is a provision of pre-boxed breakfast but I would have liked if there was a pantry car which gives more options.

The train was filthy. Like dirt and grime and grease everywhere. Additionally, one of the toilets in our carriage was broken, and the sink in our cabin didn't work. The provided breakfast was cheap bread and some jam, and instant coffee. To top it off, the complementary water bottle leaked out the bottom all over the bed. The cost of this privilege: 380€ between two of us. Absolute scam. I emailed support but they were unable or unwilling to assist beyond a generic email. *the compensation offered was a 20% discount on future trips. That is not compensation it is advertising.

we were placed in a carriage with 20 people. we booked one with up to 5 and comfortable seats. this carriage was far from comfortable. there were no assigned seats, even though we paid for that. there were no curtains. the lights couldn’t turn off. it was very loud. the seats were extremely uncomfortable. the staff was rude. and the toilet was out of order. these seats in this carriage are not on the website. we booked a comfortable carriage and not this. there were carriages for 5 people available in this train (which also didn’t look good) but they were reserved for bikes??? weird. we feel extremely scammed. we travelled with european sleeper before and had a good experience. we will never book with them again. this was a scam and almost inhumane.
