I am visit a friend of mine in Kyiv right now. We are planning a trip to Yalta. As far as I know this means that we either fly or take a train from Kyiv to Simferopol and arrange other transportation from there.

My friend is telling me that the train ride is "uncomforatable". (This is her choice of English english words. Needless to say, she is Ukrainian.)

My question to the board is, assuming that I buy a ticket in one of the better classes on the train such as a 2 or 4 berth compartment, what is the condition of the train ride?

By the way, my working assumption is that she is really telling me that she really wants to fly rather take the train.

I had been looking forward to taking the train because I do not do this often. However, it is hard to argue with an 18 hour train ride.
