Avoiding Uncomfortable Seats on Train Journeys
For a more pleasant train experience, especially during long trips in sleeper cars, travelers should be diligent about seat selection. Particular seats to steer clear of are the ones adjacent to the toilets, often numbered 36 and 37.
Even if the carriage boasts a bio-toilet and an odorless environment, the risk of toilet clogging remains, essentially leaving passengers with unavoidable aromas. Furthermore, these seats are situated right by the doors, making for an uncomfortable seating experience due to the constant need to shift one's legs to avoid contact with the door.
Another consideration is the side lower berths, which may feature a shortened length. Even with average height, sleeping on these beds can prove uncomfortable. This is an aspect that passengers should take into account when purchasing their tickets.

Nevertheless, alternatives for comfort are available. Window seats offer picturesque views and privacy, though they may not be as convenient for frequent bathroom visits. Aisle seats provide ease of movement and less interference to fellow passengers, yet lack the privacy and scenery offered by window seats. For heightened comfort and privacy during longer trips, private rooms with attached toilets (Roomettes or Bedrooms) are available on many trains.
Avoiding seats near the toilet area can considerably improve your travel experience by ensuring comfort and privacy during long train journeys.
Selecting a lifestyle that prioritizes comfort during travel could mean avoiding seats near the toilet area. For a more enjoyable train experience, especially on long trips, opt for seats that are further from the toilets, such as window or aisle seats.
