Night train from Rome to Zurich

I'm planning to take this train from Rome to Zurich:
http://mct.sbb.ch/mct/en/reiselust/e...night-roma.htm.
On that page, it mentions:

The price of 61 Swiss francs is the same for all three destinations and
includes the fare for a single journey in the couchette coach, the
reservation fee for the couchette berth and a small breakfast served in the
couchette coach.

Does the above mean I'll get a bed on the train included in the 61 CHF? Is
this possibility the best deal for the route?

Also, are the Rome and Zurich terminals easy to find?
Roma Termini
Zürich HB

Thanks,
Brett

Yes.

Definitively :-) But as you probably noticed the deal is only valid for
specific trains (as listed on the web page).

Roma Termini Zürich HB

Don't know about Rome, but Zurich HB is in the center of the city, you
can't miss it.

Gruss, Patrick

And the low fare tickets are limited, so it's necessary to book far in advance
to get this cheap fare (especially when travelling at peak times).

Do you know how to purchase a ticket from the site. There is a booking link
below the details for a trip but there isn't a place to actually make the
purchase. Just show an itinerary, which isn't saved.

Thanks,
Brett

From the "SparNight Roma" page: "Sale at all train stations and travel
agents. Not available on the Internet."

The Roma Termini station is the main train station in Rome.

I took a similar train from Milan to Paris. The couchette is a bunk in
a shared cabin. There are four bunks in first class, six in second
class. The "small breakfast" never materialized in one direction, and
was better avoided in the other direction. Also, I would advise you to
bring snacks and especially water to drink, as there was no
refreshment car on the train, not even the little trolley with
refreshments that usually circulates in a long distance train. The
water in the bathrooms was labelled as non potable.

Other than that, the bunks were very comfortable and the price was
exceptional. I don't know if this train is the same as the one I took,
but it sounds the same. It was air-conditioned and fairly new, rather
different from the old-style couchettes. The entire train was composed
of couchettes, and they were not really designed to be turned into
seats. I guess you could say it was a rolling youth hostel.

Obviously true as it's from SBB site. Bear in mind it's a limited number
of tickets sold.
You'll get a bed in a 6 berth compartment and this price seem to be very
good.

Also, are the Rome and Zurich terminals easy to find?
Roma Termini
Zürich HB
They can't be more central located and easy to find as they're more or less
the midpoints in the cities.

Thanks,
Brett
