Advantages

Short journey time

Pleasant travelling

Nice on-board restaurant

Disadvantages

Unfriendly staff

In June this year, I travelled the route between Berlin Central Station and Munich Central Station on the Deutsche Bahn ICE. The facilities were excellent. I had a power socket at my seat and the seats were very comfortable. The toilet was always clean. The train was on time and I arrived in Munich on time as announced. Unfortunately, the staff on the train were very unfriendly. However, the price-performance ratio was okay, as the journey time was really shortened by the new Sprinter route.

Advantages

Delicious food in the board restaurant

Many seating options

Train not heavily utilised

Disadvantages

Unclean toilets

Very high volume on the train

Train was late

I had very good facilities on my train journey from Berlin Central Station to Munich, with plenty of power sockets and wifi, which was also fine. In terms of comfort, it was very good as there was a very tasty restaurant with lots of good food. The service was a nice experience as the staff were super nice, even to the children. The train was not very clean. The toilets in particular were very disgusting. The journey time was not good as the train was about 30 minutes late. The price was great, especially if you book your ticket early.

Disadvantages

Price

The connection with the ICE to Munich is great! Travelling is quick and there's no stress. The train staff are always friendly and helpful. The seats in 1st class are very comfortable and ideal for longer journeys. Unfortunately, the hygiene leaves a lot to be desired. The tables are dirty and sticky. The toilets are not clean and nothing could be done without sanitising.

Advantages

Beautiful view

Comfort

Friendly staff

This journey is impressive. The journey offers beautiful views of mountains, lakes and forests. The seats on the train were comfortable and spacious. There was an on-board restaurant where you could get snacks and drinks. The train was on time and arrived on time. The train was clean, as were the toilets. The staff did a good job and were available to answer any questions. I can definitely recommend this journey.
