Customers have shared positive feedback about the professionalism and friendliness of Sindbad's drivers, as well as the cleanliness and comfort of their coaches. However, a recurring concern is the absence of onboard restrooms despite promises otherwise, leading to inconvenient stops during long journeys. Additionally, clearer bus markings and better assistance for English speakers are suggested improvements by some travelers.

Sindbad Lviv Krakow recent customer reviews

The bus was late, and I felt a bit nervous, wondering if I was waiting at the right spot. The phone number provided on the ticket was answered politely, and they clarified the parking location and the bus number. When the bus arrived, we quickly loaded the suitcases, got on, and didn’t even have time to say goodbye to those seeing us off. The driver was friendly. No one checked the quantity of suitcases. There was a power strip available for charging phones – just one for everyone, as far as I understood. The seats were standard, maybe there are worse ones. If there was a restroom on the bus, no one mentioned it, and we were directed to use the facilities outside. However, using the portable toilet outside was practically impossible, especially in the dark. I chose to buy Sindbad tickets largely because of the onboard restroom, but it turned out there wasn’t one.

The bus didn't turn up, I waited 1hr 40mins then got a taxi to the border in a panic.

The drivers were very competent, helpful and friendly. And the coach was clean and comfortable. But the big negative for me, was that my booking promised a toilet on the coach, and there was none. This meant we had to have a toilet stop, which added quite a bit of time to the journey. And the lack of an onboard toilet, for such a long journey, must have been difficult for some children and elderly people. So please do not promise that onboard toilet, and then not provide it!
