ReviewsReviews for the bus trip from Hanover to Berlin
The customer opinion was acquired via Cimenio. Cimenio incentivises its users for giving an honest opinion and proving the booking with a photo of the travel ticket.
Advantages
PunctualityPriceDisadvantages
UnfriendlyCleanlinessAlthough the bus arrived on time at the station, it took half an eternity to load the bags. The hygiene on the bus also left a lot to be desired. Before you could sit down, you had to clean the seats.
To keep busy during the journey, wifi access was available to passengers. There were also several possibilities to charge your mobile phone or laptop via a socket.
Advantages
Cheap ticketThe journey was on timeDisadvantages
NoneThe journey to Berlin was almost on time and went smoothly. The bus was clean and well ventilated. I like to travel with space and therefore find it great that I can book the extra seat for a cheap extra charge. So it's a relaxed journey for me and when it got a bit noisy from the passengers talking, I put on my headphones and then it's quiet again. With the cheap ticket offers, I think the journey is great and I don't really have anything to complain about. You can pay more somewhere else and still have delays or noisy passengers, so it's all good.
Advantages
The journey is inexpensiveThe journey is on timeBooking is simpleDisadvantages
The internet while driving is weakExcept for the internet in the bus, which did not work during the bus ride, everything went great. The booking was online and very easy and the ticket was sent by email and could be presented digitally at the start of the journey. The bus driver started the journey on time and arrived at Berlin ZOB on schedule. The journey passed quickly and was comfortable. It was quiet and stress-free. I would like to recommend the bus and praise the good price-performance ratio.
Advantages
Super priceClean busComfortable seatsDisadvantages
NoneThe journey by bus from Hanover to Berlin was very good. The bus was well air-conditioned and I could relax during the journey. Since I had a seat free next to me, I could spread out comfortably. The other passengers were friendly and no one was too loud or disturbed the peace. All around a great trip and with the good prices you are even more pleased. Highly recommended.
Advantages
Good priceFriendly driving staffVery comfortableDisadvantages
NoneThe bus trip can only be recommended. The journey was very comfortable as there are no waiting times and everything was on time. The bus driver was friendly and the bus was clean and well ventilated. The wifi on the bus didn't always work properly, but I had a quiet and very relaxed journey.
Advantages
Pleasant rideVery friendly staffGood priceDisadvantages
NoneI booked the trip by bus from Hanover to Berlin and I am thrilled. It was a very pleasant journey. The atmosphere on the bus was calm and relaxed. The bus was also not full, so the seat next to me was free and I could sit down comfortably. Very comfortable seats and everything was very clean, including the toilets. The staff were friendly and helpful. I find travelling by bus very relaxing, had a good experience and think that given the reasonable price, travelling by bus is a great alternative to travelling by train.
Advantages
FastCost-effectiveDisadvantages
Slight delayIt was a smooth journey without any incidents. The ticket for the journey was cheap, but I also booked a seat reservation. I would actually always recommend this. Even though there was a slight delay, the journey was quick. That's why I arrived at my appointment on time. I was also able to work well on my PC with the wifi. There was no toilet, but there was a short break.
Advantages
Fast transportSafeFavourableDisadvantages
You have to take food with you and can't buy anythingMy bus journey from Hannover ZOB to Berlin ZOB went smoothly. There were no traffic jams and we travelled at a constant 100 km/h to Berlin. Our journey time was 3 hours and 20 minutes. It is the ideal route for a coach. The motorway usually has 3 lanes and so there are hardly ever traffic jams.
Advantages
Good priceGreat seatsSeen a lot of the citiesDisadvantages
Lots of gridlocked traffic in the cityThe journey with Flixbus from Hanover to Berlin was pretty good on the whole.
It was a very fair price for the journey in the first place, and the seats on the bus were very comfortable and cosy. But my favourite part of the journey was the view. Above all, you could see a lot of Berlin.
However, there was a lot of slow traffic on my journey. Nevertheless, I would recommend it.
Advantages
Comfort of the seats in the busspeedThe bus driverDisadvantages
Traffic volumeRisk of traffic jamsI was really surprised how quickly you can get from Hanover to Berlin, and for such a good price with FlixBus. The equipment in the bus was first class, there was free wifi, adjustable and upholstered seats, etc. The bus driver was very friendly and drove very well. The bus driver was very friendly and drove really well
Advantages
EquipmentBus driverDisadvantages
UtilisationTraffic jamToiletThe bus connection with FlixBus from Hanover to Berlin is a great alternative to the train or car in terms of price and journey time, but this journey with FlixBus was rather uncomfortable for me. On the one hand, this was due to the high occupancy rate on the bus, almost all the seats were taken and the journey felt a bit like travelling on a school bus. This also meant that the toilet was occupied most of the time and you actually had to queue to be able to relieve yourself, which can be extremely unpleasant on a journey without stops.
