Very with recliners in front. Bus stopped for 20mins to change driver but ordered everyone off the bus. This was at 3.20am and i don't why we stay in our seats.
My Seat Number was 61and already in Madrid I Make a claim that Seat belt was not in condition.
Due to the timetable it could be fixed only stop place near Cordoba.
The chauffer however showed me another place but it was impossible to sit there because that Seat could not be fixed to rest position and passengers in front of me used the maximum rest position.
So I travelled without Seat belt untill Cordoba.

This was one of the worst bus experiences I’ve ever had. The bus was not as advertised. The WiFi didn’t work for over half the trip, the tray table was broken, the tv didn’t work, the seats were not even close to spacious. I am 5’4” and my knees touched the chair in front of me. People were literally yelling on the bus for hours and no effort was made to stop them.
Decent bus service but nothing special. Not great for night busses as it is just regular tourist coaches. Wifi didn’t work and aircon was so and so. Got a little humid and smelly.
Our seats were in a row of 5 and were above the engine. It was therefore extremely hot.
The middle seat didnot have a screen or bag to put belongings. It should be clear where your seat is going to be and a choice given. Otherwise OK.
The bus got a flat tire on the way. The driver continued to drive on the flat tire until the metal rims were grinding on the cement and smoke was visible. The driver was very unprepared for that kind of thing. We waited roughly thirty minutes for help to arrive while the driver tried to warn the oncoming traffic that there was a broken-down bus in the right hand lane just around a curve. Then it took the experts nearly two hours to get the tires off and put the new ones on. No apology was given for the inconvenience.
The busdriver was driving way to fast, we arrived one hour earlier than informed to Malaga. The air condition in the bus was also very poor and the bus was very hot and that resulted in many sweaty people and a very smelly, hot and sweaty bus. Would not reccommend.
Overall ok comparing to the fare. However the seat we sat was terrible;broken seatbelt and chair back, no cushion at all. For 7 hour long trip those things are necessary to make it work. But the driver treat us showing flexibility and kindness in this situation. He let us sit other seats available. That helped we feel better.
Last row is super narrow and even sold a seat in the middle! It's really dangerous. And the driver stopped on the midway over half a hour(so arrived lately I guess) and kept customers await in the heating weather.
Air conditioning broke down. Horrible trip, two emergency stops because it was around 40C in the bus (like outside). Arrived 3-4 hrs later. Busdriver was kind and actively tried to fix the situation but communication towards foreign people (like me) was minimal- we had no clue what was going to happen.
Seat was broken, had to sit fully reclined the entire trip. After 6 hrs, my back was killing me. Also- because I had the window seat ‘above’ the toilet, we were seated higher than the lady seated in front of me. When she reclined her chair, my knees got painfully stuck. Very unpleasant trip.
I clearly got the unlucky seat. No air conditioning, the personal tv wasn’t working especially for a long bus ride I was on (everyone else’s was fine) and the fact that WiFi wasn’t connecting either. Overall fail of a ride for the 6 hours I was on the bus.
There was no Wi-Fi and the tv's inside the bus weren't working in my 6 hour trip. No había wifi y los teles no estaban funcionando en mi viaje de 6 horas
Im happy about the schedule, they were very punctual. I’m not happy about the WiFi service. Most of the tv’s couldn’t turn on and the seats are very small.
The seats were comfortable enough and the trip was fine. The only problem were the amenities, it seems that none of the screens in the bus were working, and the wi-fi on the bus did not work either
really nice and very comfy and clean but the only problem was that due to lack of windows opening it smelled like sweaty feet getting on. smell faded within 5 mins
When I selected my seat online... it was not the same bus that came. I ended up in seat 61 in the center of the bus (would not have selected if the bus seat map was correct). The TV sets didn't work for 6 seats around me. Wifi was not working.
