I travelled from Berlin to Münster to get home from my weekend holiday in Berlin. The connection was the best connection for me in terms of price and departure time, as it meant I could maximise my weekend there without having to be home late at night. Other connections were out of the question due to the departure time and higher prices, but I looked at them. What I liked best about the journey was the comfort on the train, but the one negative thing I remember was the late arrival. I travelled in the late Sunday afternoon or early evening. However, the journey was generally very comfortable thanks to the cosy seats and the pleasant atmosphere on the train. The train and the toilets were also very clean and nothing to complain about. I also made use of the opportunity to charge my mobile phone and the Wi-Fi on board, although this was rather unusable at times. As already mentioned, the train was very late. In general, however, I was very satisfied with the service. There was also an on-board restaurant, but I didn't use it. In my opinion, the price-performance ratio was completely fine, as I "only" paid €97 for this journey in total for the outward and return journeys

From Berlin to Münster I had to change trains once in Hamm. Unfortunately, this didn't go smoothly, as the ICE from Berlin to Hamm was delayed by 30 minutes. This ICE was also very full, which is why I had to reserve a seat. However, the seating comfort, the furnishings and the service were very good. The on-board bistro was also open. From Hamm to Münster, I finally took the next regional express train, which had a normal occupancy rate and good seating comfort. There were power sockets and internet. The staff were friendly and there were no problems checking tickets. Both trains were very clean and hygienic. The ticket for this journey was also very cheap. Despite not making the connection, I can recommend the journey.
