The toilets were okay in terms of hygiene. The staff were very friendly and the service in the on-board bistro was excellent. There were also power sockets and stable wifi on the train. The ticket wasn't expensive as I had booked it a little earlier. The train arrived in Hanover a little late, which I found acceptable.

We travelled by train to get to our holiday destination. It was the best connection, which is why we opted for it. We travelled at lunchtime. Overall, it was comfortable. The train and the toilets were clean at the beginning. As time went on, they became increasingly unclean. Some toilets were completely closed. What we liked best was that we had much more legroom and freedom of movement compared to travelling by car, which is a great advantage, especially for children. What we liked least was that the typical train delays with children quickly became a test of patience. We didn't make use of the on-board entertainment. The on-board café, however, served coffee and hot chocolate. The prices are overpriced. Overall, the ticket was also very expensive.

The connection was well chosen and I got directly to my destination without changing trains. The view en route was really nice. However, the noise level in the compartment was a little higher than expected but still bearable. Wifi was available but unfortunately unreliable. Overall comfort was okay, with small deductions for seat quality. Price-performance was still reasonable but a little cheaper would have been nice. It was a good journey.

I regularly travel from Berlin Central Station to Hanover Central Station using a Deutsche Bahn ICE train. I find my chosen train (ICE 542) particularly practical. I don't need to change trains to Hanover and, as the journey is not very busy, I can always get a seat - even without having to book a seat reservation. The train was a few minutes late, which is fine.

I was travelling through to Warsaw and back again, so I had to change trains in Berlin in the direction of Hanover to go home, as I was visiting a friend in Warsaw. Yes, the train connection was the most sensible option. Anything else would have been too expensive. Smooth journey without incident. I was just cold in the evening. That was around 12 o'clock. The journey was very comfortable. Toilet clean but one cabin was locked, you had to buy another one. I got a coffee and used the electricity/internet network. Service was great the staff was clear and easy to understand. It was for the full €44.99 return journey.

I travelled on the ICE 556 and unfortunately the train was not as clean as I had expected. The seats were fine, but there were still crumbs on some of the tables and the floor seemed dirty. There were also empty cups and paper lying around in the corridors. The train journey was quiet and the train arrived on time, both of which were pleasing. The wifi connection was flawless. All in all, the journey was fine, but the lack of cleanliness is to thank for spoiling the impression a little.

I thoroughly enjoyed my journey on the FlixTrain FLX 20 from Berlin Central Station to Hanover Central Station. The direct connection without changing trains makes the journey particularly pleasant and stress-free - just get on and arrive relaxed. The FlixTrain train type impresses with modern, clean wifi and offers everything you need for a comfortable journey: free wifi, power sockets at the seats and clean toilets. The price-performance ratio is particularly positive - compared to other providers, FlixTrain is often significantly cheaper without having to sacrifice comfort. The seats are comfortable and the staff are friendly and helpful. The option of booking and presenting your ticket digitally is also a big plus. If you are looking for a fast, direct and inexpensive connection between Berlin and Hanover, FlixTrain is the best choice. I would travel on this train again at any time and can recommend the route without reservation!
