The bathroom door couldn’t close properly and was swinging open all night. We were sat next to it so barely got any sleep.

The only good thing is that the bus left and arrived on time. It was so dirty, and we saw cockroaches. It was unbearably hot the whole time, none of the chargers worked and some of the small fans were broken. Worst overnight bus I have taken.

The premium seats we bought (at the very back of the bus) where so cramped. We had no room and our legs were sandwiched between our neighbours in front of us.. it was a very uncomfortable 12 hours. It caused bad feeling between our neighbours and I've been in pain all day.
