Santos Express Train Lodge

Bit pricey for the room(royal). The duvet cover had seen better days. The room was supposed to be clean, but used underpants was found on the ground at the end of the bed. One towel was torn and if you are not an earlybird the guests next door uses all the hot water and you are left with a nice cold shower on a winter's morning.

My fiance and I had a wonderful experience. The lady (kim) who showed us our room (carriage) was very friendly and polite. Going to sleep and waking up with the sound of the waves was our favorite part.

Sadly it was an absolutely terrible experience.
I would have given a second star for the clean bed, but as the shutters in the cabin didn‘t work, the sunlight will get in permanently.
Since it‘s no problem to check in at late midnight and the train is very poorly soundproofed, be prepared that your whole bed is shaking when someone is walking on the floors.
This gets a whole lot better when whole families with screaming children bring their stuff into the cabins at 11:30pm and everyone takes a shower right next to your cabin slamming the doors like nobody else is in the train until almost 1am in the morning.
If that wasn‘t enough, if you try to take a nap during the day, be prepared that the cleaning ladies start their work at 7am, as soon as someone checks out, doing their work until 4pm in the afternoon.
When you come out of your cabin to go to the bathroom, you‘ll get surprised with them sitting on the toilets for their breaks, forcing you to go to another bathroom in the train.
