Pros
IconSufficient seating
Cons
IconTrain somewhat unpunctual
I travelled from Berlin to Cologne second class by IC. I had to change trains once in Hanover. Dortmund was on the route, so I can rate the journey. The first train was late, but I got my connecting train in Hanover. The journey between Hanover and Cologne turned out to be very pleasant, as the train was absolutely not full. Both trains were neat and clean in appearance. The Deutsche Bahn staff were friendly and accommodating. The board bistros of both trains were open and passengers were served with delicious coffee and snacks.

In July 2022, I took a train journey from Berlin to Dortmund with Deutsche Bahn. First of all, I would like to list some positive aspects. The price was very satisfactory compared to many other options to get to Dortmund. Also, the staff on the train were very friendly. They checked the tickets quickly and were always very friendly and polite to their passengers. In addition, the toilets were clean and hygienic. So I could find disinfectant or wipes. The Corona rules were also well observed. The volume was reasonable. However, the seats were dirty. I saw coffee stains and so I didn't really want to sit on the seats. Also, the wifi was not excellent as my phone could not connect to the internet at all. Overall, however, a satisfactory train journey.

I was generally very satisfied with my train journey. The train staff was very friendly and the ticket check had also taken place digitally thanks to the comfort check ins. The train was very clean and freshly cleaned, which also applied to the toilets. The train left on time and we also arrived at our destination on time. In general, I felt very comfortable on the train and the legroom at the seat was absolutely sufficient. The wifi worked without any problems the whole time and I was even able to stream series on it. Thumbs up for a very pleasant train journey.

Unfortunately, my journey from Berlin to Dortmund did not go well. The journey itself was very stressful, as we had to deal with very long delays due to bad weather... Finding connections was not exactly easy either. There was no comfort to speak of here. The only positive thing about the journey was the cleanliness of the train.

I recently took the ICE from Berlin Hauptbahnhof to Dortmund Hauptbahnhof. The journey was super comfortable (especially because of the comfortable seats). Service was very good and the cleanliness in the ICE was great! The journey itself also went smoothly, no delays! Only the price is a bit too high in my opinion! (But that is also the only weakness).

On my train journey from Berlin to Dortmund, the facilities were pretty good, with plenty of power sockets and good wifi. The comfort was also great, as it was quiet and relaxed. There was also a delicious on-board restaurant. The service was great, as the staff were always friendly and helpful to us. However, the train was quite dirty, especially the toilets.

Travelling by ICE is always very comfortable. It was on time and you reach your destination quickly. The staff are always friendly and courteous. I was given very good advice about the rest of the journey. Unfortunately, there are not enough sockets on the train or at the seats and the wifi often fails. The hygiene leaves a lot to be desired, both in the toilets and on the tables and seats.

Unfortunately, it was very noisy on this train, at least if you weren't in the quiet compartment. Apart from that, the journey was very pleasant. The route was very beautiful. The staff were also very friendly. We were also able to order some food and coffee, both of which were satisfactory and I would give food & drink an 8 on a scale of 1 to 10. The soup we had as a starter was also very tasty. Wifi and other things worked perfectly and without any errors.

My nephew often drives the route as part of his training. He is quite satisfied. The journey takes almost 4 hours without changing trains. The train departs on time. The seats are clean and comfortable. Smoking is not allowed in the compartments. There is also free wifi and one power socket per seat. There is also an on-board restaurant on the train. The compartments and the on-board restaurant were clean. I can't comment on the toilet as he didn't use it on the journey. We booked the ticket online without any problems and it also went very quickly
