About About the place

Thello trains provide a rail connection between major cities in France and Italy, including Paris, Milan, Venice, and Nice. Primarily marketed as an affordable overnight travel option, it aims to save travelers the cost of accommodation. However, the experience is notably inconsistent. While some passengers report comfortable journeys with friendly staff, many others encounter issues such as delays, cleanliness problems, malfunctioning amenities, and unresponsive customer service. The quality of the trains and service appears to vary depending on the route and specific train used. Travelers should be prepared for potential disruptions and manage expectations accordingly.

Best for

Budget-conscious travelers, those seeking an alternative to flying, and passengers who prioritize convenience over luxury. It's best for those who are flexible and can tolerate potential disruptions.

Best season

Travel during peak season (summer and holidays) may be more crowded and prone to delays.

Best time to visit

Weekdays may be less crowded than weekends, but delays can occur at any time. Overnight travel is the primary offering, so the time of day is fixed.

Tips by Locals

Accessibility

Accessibility information is limited. Some trains may offer accommodations for passengers with reduced mobility, but it is essential to contact Thello directly to confirm availability and specific arrangements. Older trains may present greater accessibility challenges.

Kid friendly

Thello trains offer couchette and cabin options that can accommodate families. However, space can be limited, and there are no dedicated play areas or childcare facilities. Parents should be prepared to entertain children during the journey.

Pet friendly

Pets are generally not allowed on Thello trains.

Food facilities/restaurants/cafes

Thello trains typically offer a limited onboard food and drink service, often consisting of pre-packaged snacks and beverages. The quality of this service is frequently criticized. Passengers are advised to bring their own food and drinks, especially for longer journeys.

I have been planning this trip for a long time and it was a stunning experience. This was once in a lifetime experience and me and my family really had a great time. It is a great place and has a lot of impressive sites to visit. Overall it was a wonderful experience.. Visiting this place has always been on my list and when i got the chance it was once in a lifetime experience. The place is truly stunning and magnificent. It was one of the best experiences I ever had traveling to this exotic location. The location, the scenery and food and the people, everything about this place is excellent. It was a great experience.

I was so hopeful when i visited this place but it was not a great experience. The whole trip was ruined from the beginning when I booked this place. They charged me extra, the service was really bad, the staff was rude and very non-friendly, the rooms were dirty and complaining, nothing happened. Overall, it was an awful experience and I am never visiting this place again.

There was nothing special about this speciality hotel and it was such a disappointment. The place was literally in ruins and it pinches me to see all my money goes to waste. The rooms were really dirty and unkept and the service was pathetic. I won’t recommend this to anyone and it was the worst experience.

We were so excited to visit this place but were thoroughly disappointed while reaching and looking at the mismanaged affair. The place was crowded with tourists and there was no system to arrange them. The staff was also very rude.

Our stay here has been horrible and simply pathetic. It was the worst and the people here were so bad and disgusting. They were so rude and not at all helpful. The service was bullshit and the maintenance of the place was really really bad. I am never visiting this place again.

If there is one way to describe my visit, it would be unbelievable. This place was just extraordinarily amazing and beautiful. The gorgeous locations, the history associated with the places, the super fun tourist spots, the delicious cuisine, warm and friendly people and to top it all, the kind hospitality we received, I am just so happy and joyful about my vacation here.. Our trip to this magnificent city was unbelievable. We had a wonderful time enjoying the various beautiful sites of the city. The location and the scenery here is stunning and the people are warm and welcoming. We stayed at this beautiful place where everyone made our time special. The local cuisine is a must try.
