Excellent bus, very comfortable (like first class), clean; coffee and water available. They gave me as well snacks to eat. No internet but I didn't mind since it was a night bus.

It was very disapointing to find out we have to print our tickets 5 minutes before the bus leaves after I read specifically that a ticket on a mobile phone counts as the same thing... I don't speak spanish and it was very hard to understand what should I do and I almost missed the bus.

The trip was safe and with comfortable chairs. It was ok if I don't count the water drops from the airconditioner on my upper seat. Luckily there were 2 free chairs downstairs, so me and the another passenger moved down. They should improve that.
