-My journey on the FlixTrain (train number FLX 10) from Berlin to Kassel was an all-round positive experience that I can recommend with a clear conscience.
As soon as I boarded the train in Berlin, I was greeted warmly by the friendly train crew - a small but valuable moment that immediately created a pleasant atmosphere. I immediately felt welcome and in good hands. The seats were not only comfortable, but also offered enough space for me to relax and enjoy the journey. I was particularly impressed by the cleanliness of the entire train. The well-maintained appearance inspires confidence and ensures a real sense of well-being throughout the journey.
During the journey, the staff were always attentive and helpful. Whether I had questions or minor concerns, I always felt well looked after. The journey also ran smoothly: there were no delays or unexpected incidents, so I arrived in Kassel completely stress-free.

Nevertheless, I found a good seat. There was very good wifi and USB sockets to charge my laptop. The board bistro was very well stocked and the staff were very friendly. Unfortunately, the prices for food and drink are very expensive. The toilet facilities were unfortunately very dirty on this train.

High volumeThe train journey from Berlin to Kassel was pleasant overall and very attractively priced - especially compared to other providers. I particularly liked the friendly and helpful staff, who helped immediately with any questions. The option to conveniently reserve a seat was also a big plus. Free wifi and power sockets at the seats made travelling much more relaxed, especially when working on the move. The equipment on the train was also modern and functional. The only downside was the sometimes loud noise in the carriage, which made relaxing a little more difficult. Nevertheless, it's a recommended connection for anyone who wants to travel in comfort and at a reasonable price.

The views en route were varied and pleasant. The availability of free seats was surprisingly high, even without a seat reservation. The sanitary facilities were clean and regularly checked. Boarding and disembarking also went quickly and without crowds. The only downside was that there was no opportunity to buy snacks or drinks on board. Otherwise I was satisfied with the trip!

Few socketsPoor wifi connectionMy journey with FlixTrain from Berlin to Kassel in the morning was very pleasant overall. I particularly liked the fact that the train left on time and we also arrived on schedule. The price was super cheap, which also makes the journey attractive for schoolchildren and students, for example. I was able to enjoy the beautiful view during the journey and the temperature on the train was pleasantly regulated. The cleanliness of the train was also positive, everything was tidy and the toilets were clean. There was also sanitiser and wet wipes everywhere. The only negative thing I noticed was that there were too few power sockets and the wifi was often very slow or didn't work at all, which is why I was unfortunately unable to talk or work. Apart from that, the trip was satisfactory!

I was in a compartment that was very quiet, wifi and power sockets worked without any problems. The toilets were also clean, which I personally really appreciate. I had food delivered to my seat - that worked well, even if unfortunately not everything on the menu was available. But what I got was really good. Overall, everything worked smoothly. The price for 1st class is high, but the comfort and service were right in my case. For me, it was an all-round successful journey, so I'm happy to give it 5 stars.

PriceI recently took a train trip from Berlin to Kassel and overall the experience was okay. The train was on time and the train was clean and comfortable. There was enough space to sit and travelling was overall pleasant. However, the price of the journey was not particularly cheap. I found that the cost of the train journey was higher than expected. This was a big minus for me as I like to travel cheaper. Overall, the train journey from Berlin to Kassel was fine, but the high price was a big drawback.
