ReviewsReviews for the bus trip from Munich 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.

Pros

Safe and convenient

On time

Cons

Air conditioner broken

What was particularly good about this trip was that the bus arrived on time! Although there are numerous road works and accidents on the route. The driver was very nice and helpful. It was an overnight trip, so I mainly slept. The bis was clean and well maintained. Everything worked except for the air conditioning. This could not be turned off. I would definitely book a seat as the bus was packed.

Pros

The journey is stress-free

The ride is cheap

The bus is on time

Cons

Weak internet on the bus

My bus journey was flawless and I am happy to recommend the bus for journeys within Germany. Booking on the online portal is easy and the ticket is sent to you by email. This can then be presented digitally before departure, no printing necessary. Practical and sustainable. The bus is well maintained and the journey is comfortable as there is hardly any foot traffic. I can overlook the fact that the internet on the bus is not always stable during the journey, because everything else is fine. The bus was on time and I reached my destination without any stress. The price-performance ratio is first-class and really only recommendable.

Pros

Quick and convenient

Cons

Weak internet connection

I would like to share my extremely positive experience travelling by train to Berlin. This journey was not only comfortable but also amazingly fast and pleasant. The train service was excellent and exceeded my expectations. I was impressed by the speed of the journey. The train reached Berlin on time and without any lengthy delays. I was able to make the best use of my time. The travel time flew by and I had enough time to prepare for my upcoming business meetings. However, there was one small limitation during the journey. The internet connection on the train was, weak. Although I was prepared to do my work and answer emails, this was not possible due to the poor internet connection. Fortunately, I was able to compensate nicely by using my mobile phone, but a stable internet connection would have been desirable. Overall, I can highly recommend the train ticket to Berlin.

Pros

Good value

On time

Simply

Cons

None

My bus ride from Munich to Berlin was flawless. I liked the ride because it was very quiet and none of the passengers were disturbing. The bus was clean and the toilets were also well cleaned. The seat offers enough freedom of movement and is comfortable. We left on time and the whole journey was relaxed. After about 7.5 hours of driving, we arrived in Berlin on time. The bus driver was also very friendly and helpful. Highly recommended.

Pros

Quiet ride

Good price

Cons

None

The bus ride from Munich to Berlin was very good. Although there was some congestion on the way, we arrived only a few minutes late. The bus was clean and the seats were comfortable. The toilet even smelled good and was well cleaned. I used the free internet once and was able to download a video flawlessly. All in all, it was a good ride and I would take the bus again anytime.

Pros

Great price

Friendly staff

Pleasant ride

Cons

None

On my journey by bus from Munich to Berlin, everything went wonderfully. We left on time and arrived on time. There was no delay and it was a quiet journey. No noise and no passengers were too loud. The bus driver was friendly and put on music for us when everyone agreed. There was a happy atmosphere throughout the bus. However, not all the seats were taken, so the bus was not completely full. I had two seats to myself and could make myself comfortable. It was a great trip and for the price, just wonderful.

Pros

No change

Fast ride

Faster than car or bus

Cons

Price is a little expensive

I travelled the route from Munich to Berlin on the ICE 702 for work. It was a perfect ICE route because you don't have to change trains and you arrive directly at Berlin's main station. When travelling by train, you don't get stuck in traffic jams like you do when travelling by car. I would always choose this route again. The hygiene on the train was always good and there was always beer, food and coffee in the restaurant.

Pros

Price

Comfort

Cons

Hygiene

The bus journey from Munich to Berlin was very pleasant! The seats were super comfortable. There were no problems with the journey itself. The only shortcoming of this trip is the cleanliness. The toilets should have been more hygienic. The service was excellent and the staff were very helpful. There were also no problems with the wifi.

Pros

Cons

Cleanliness

Some time ago I took the bus from Munich central station to Berlin. The price for this trip surprised me positively! The bus ride itself was very comfortable and I didn't have to deal with any delays. The only negative thing about this trip was the cleanliness, which could have been a bit better

Pros

Punctual departure

Train was clean

The Bord Bistro offer was good

Wifi worked well

Cons

Delayed arrival

The journey was very pleasant thanks to a seat in the board restaurant. The food on offer was good. The good wifi made it possible to work during the journey. The train was clean and the conductors friendly. The departure was on time. We arrived a little late, which was still okay at 15 minutes. I find travelling by ICE relaxing.
