ReviewsReviews for the rail journey from Berlin to Fulda

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

Punctual journey

Disadvantages

The train is old

Poor ventilation

Narrow seats

I have to say that I prefer to take the bus rather than the train. The prices for the train tickets are good, but I think the train is too old and the ventilation didn't work, so the air on the train was very stuffy and stale. The seats are cramped and there is little room to move around. If the train was fully booked, it would be very uncomfortable. The journey was not delayed, which was pleasing.

Advantages

Cheap ticket

Cheap seat reservation

Disadvantages

None

I particularly like the fact that you can reserve the neighbouring seat for a small extra charge. The ticket including the seat and adjoining seat is then still cheaper than other means of travel and you have a relaxed journey with plenty of space and no annoying neighbours. For that alone I have high praise. The train was clean and well ventilated. It wasn't noisy and there were no disruptions. The journey was on time and I think it's absolutely recommendable.
