There currently are a variety of options to travel by night train from Goteborg (Sweden) to Hamburg (Germany), taking between approximately 10 and 13 hours: Namely the 10301 and the 13471. These lines are operated by Snälltåget and SJ.

Snälltåget provides three options: budget seats in open coaches, berths in shared compartments for up to six people, and private compartments for groups. All berths include pillows, sheets, blankets and duvets.
In shared and private compartments, seats convert to berths at night. Each compartment features three berths on each side with ladders to reach the upper berths. Private compartments are ideal for groups seeking more privacy.
