Pro

Cheap

Quiet

Quick

Contra

None

The overnight journey was very smooth and went without incident. The bus arrived on schedule and it was a pleasant ride. The bus was almost empty, but I had reserved a seat. The facilities worked as standard, although the wifi on board was quite slow. All in all, a good ride at a low price.

Pro

Price favourable

wifi access

Contra

Bus unpunctual

The journey from Berlin to Hamburg already had an unfortunate start. The bus appeared unpunctual and there was no explanation for it. The seats on the bus were okay, but not really comfortable. There were also no toilets on the bus. On a positive note, however, the price was very reasonable. It was very reasonable. That's why I would personally tend to travel with FlixBus again.

Pro

Cheap

Cosy

Contra

Dirty

The biggest plus point was the low price, especially as it was a night journey. The bus arrived on schedule and the journey was without incident. The equipment was okay, but the bus was dirty. The empty chip bags and handkerchiefs could have been cleaned up. The bus was not particularly full, but from experience I would always make a reservation. Based on the cheap price, however, I can clearly recommend this travel option.

Pro

The journey is inexpensive

Booking is convenient

No printed ticket necessary

Contra

Poor internet connection on the bus

From booking online to the journey, everything was very easy and I would really like to recommend the bus trip. The ticket prices are reasonable and you arrive relaxed at your destination. My journey to Hamburg was comfortable and the travel time went by very quickly. We left Berlin on time and reached our destination without delay. The bus was clean and hygienic. The internet didn't always have the best connection during the journey, but I don't find that too bad. The bus journey is a fabulous alternative to the train and the value for money is really great. I am a bus fan and gladly recommend the trip.

Pro

Nice staff

Quiet journey

Clean bus

Contra

None

If you are thinking about taking the bus from Berlin to Hamburg, I can only recommend this trip. The ticket is cheap, but I find the bus journey more relaxing than any train journey. The journey was quiet and everything was on time. The bus is clean and well ventilated. The bus driver was very helpful and gave us a great ride. Always happy to do it again.

Pro

On time

Plenty of space

Volume

Price

Contra

Wifi strength

I found the ICE journey very relaxing. The price was cheap, but I booked it already at the beginning of March. I found a good seat without a seat reservation. There was also room for my suitcase. The online check - in worked quickly and easily. I didn't use the toilet or the bistro. I arrived in Hamburg on time. The train was clean. The wifi was unfortunately not so strong, which made surfing on the move difficult. Otherwise a fast connection, absolute recommendation.

Pro

Service

Contra

Cleanliness

The ride was very pleasant and the departure was on time. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The only thing to complain about is, like most buses/trains and public transport, the cleanliness. Otherwise, everything is top notch and recommendable. Fortunately, you don't have to change trains on the journey.
