Pros

Relaxed

I had read that travelling by train is much more pleasant as you can avoid the stressful traffic and congestion. So I took the train and was really pleased, it was on time, the service was good and the train was reasonably clean. The price-performance ratio was also good.

Pros

Punctuality

Comfort

Friendly staff

Cons

Overcrowding

The train journey from Barcelona to Valencia was a remarkable journey. The extremely comfortable seats made the journey enjoyable, while the friendly conductors created a warm atmosphere. The punctuality of the train also deserves praise as it kept to its schedule, making for a reliable journey. The train was overcrowded, especially on busy sections, which resulted in cramped conditions

Pros

Good view

Cons

None

A really great experience! During the journey I was able to watch the passing scenery. The train was clean and you had plenty of legroom at your seat, plus the seats were very comfortable. The facilities were also pretty good, there was working wifi and power sockets. I also didn't have to change trains, which was very pleasant. Overall, it was a very good experience and good value for money

Pros

Equipment

Cons

I could not recognise any weaknesses

The journey was very pleasant. The friendliness of the staff showed their dedication and efforts to make the journey as comfortable as possible. What's more, the train was nice and wifi was excellent. I felt at home during the journey. I was able to book the ticket online without any problems. To summarise, I can recommend the trip. As a rating I give it 5 stars.

Pros

View

Cons

Seats

Everything was actually great, but unfortunately the seats on this journey were very hard and I got quite a backache as the journey went on for quite a while. There were toilets on board, which were also very clean, as well as wifi and power sockets. As the train had large windows, I had a very good view of the passing landscape. The price-performance ratio was quite fair. I can recommend it!

Pros

Clean

Cons

No weaknesses at all

The positive features of the journey definitely include the excellent punctuality, the unique hygiene and the unrivalled comfort. The only downside in my opinion was that the wifi was unfortunately not really fast or constant. Apart from that, I can report that the staff were very nice. As a result, I would recommend the journey and give it 4 stars.

Pros

Seats

Comfort

Cons

Punctuality

The train journey from Barcelona to Valencia was generally relaxed, but there were a few little things that bothered me. One was that the train wasn't quite on time, but that wasn't dramatic as it was only five minutes and that there was no wifi. The rest, however, was very good. The seats were really comfortable and I had enough space and the price was reasonable. All in all, it was a pretty good and relaxed journey.

Pros

Punctual

Cons

Were not recognisable.

I have nothing negative to say about the journey. So the advantages definitely include the fact that it was very hygienic and that the staff made every effort to make the journey as pleasant and trouble-free as possible. In my opinion, the price-performance ratio was definitely reasonable. As there were no negative points, I would give the train journey five stars. I can recommend it!

Pros

Beautiful view

Nice reception

Cons

Hygiene was not perfect

I travelled to Valencia on the so-called Euromed 01071. As expected, the view was simply wonderful and I was able to do my work on the train thanks to the good wifi while I enjoyed a snack in the on-board bistro. The service in the on-board bistro in particular was very nice to me. Unfortunately, the hygiene on the train and at my seat was not the best and could be improved. Otherwise I was completely satisfied, as I even got my journey for a cheap price.

Pros

Modern train

Very fast

Wifi on the train

Cons

You needed a seat reservation

The toilet was broken

It was very hot on the train

I travelled from Barcelona to Valencia with my Interrail ticket. It was a very modern Spanish express train. Departure: 10:15 Arrival: 13:13. The journey took just 3 hours, which I think is remarkable. The route was very beautiful along the coast. Unfortunately, the toilet was broken and it was very hot on the train. Train number: EUR 1101

Pros

Cleanliness

Cons

Delay

On the return journey, I was able to have a good rest before I had to get back to work. The train was a bit late, but that wasn't tragic as I was able to recover well on holiday. The sanitary facilities were characterised by excellent hygiene and cleanliness. I bought the ticket online at a fair price. I would recommend the trip to anyone. Four stars.

Pros

Punctual

Nice conductor

Cons

Half the time it was relatively loud.

We travelled a good 3 hours and arrived in Valencia on time. I liked the journey because the scenery was beautiful and the train was very clean. The only thing I would have to criticise is that it was relatively noisy on the train about half the time. I thought the seats were good and there were power sockets available. The conductor was very nice to me and the toilet was easy to use. I didn't change trains.

Pros

Hygiene

Cons

Did not exist

The journey had only positive features. The train was on time. In addition, the staff were very friendly and helpful at all times. It was also very hygienic in the toilets, so there was no dirt. The wifi was very fast most of the time, so I was able to work. In conclusion, I can only give the train connection five stars and recommend it to everyone.

Pros
