They are very attractive if you compare the price with flight + hotel room. Usually when I go to conferences, I need to fly on the day before.

With night trains, I can sleep on the train and arrive in the morning, with enough time to get a good breakfast. Of course, a little less well rested, but the time savings is nice.

Ah yes, that comparison makes sense.

For me, the alternative is staying with family, so it's less clear-cut.
