Hard seat for 4 hours
Is there anyone traveled with hard seat before? I am not sure if it is right choice or better to book a sleeper bed?

Hard seat is indeed a lowest seat class but it is still bearable for me. I think a 4 hours trip is still possible. However, if you are traveling during holiday time, please use sleeper bed. The hard seat carriage will be too crowded during holiday time.
