My seatThe return journey on the ICE from Berlin to Nuremberg was pleasant for the most part. One disadvantage was that my window seat was directly exposed to the sun, which made it quite warm. Nevertheless, the journey was relaxed. The train journey was on time and the route had beautiful views. Thanks to the stable wifi and the quietness in the compartment, I was able to work well. All in all, definitely recommendable.

EquipmentThe connection was really good, especially because I didn't have to change trains. I left on time and even arrived a few minutes early. Comfort was solid, but no luxury, at least there was enough space. No on-board bistro on the train, which was a shame as I was hungry. I found the price-performance ratio good, the ticket was significantly cheaper than petrol + parking. The noise level was pleasant, even when the train was full. Compared to the car, a clear advantage in terms of nerves.

PriceAs I travel a lot for work, I had to travel to Nuremberg and, as always, I chose Deutsche Bahn. The train arrived very punctually and I was able to catch my connecting train without any problems. Unfortunately, the seats were getting on in years and the train didn't look so good. However, there was good wifi and a socket to charge my laptop.

The wifi worked reliably, which was perfect for working while travelling. The service on the train was friendly and attentive, you really felt at ease. The noise level was also pleasantly quiet. Simply an all-round successful journey!

DelayThe return journey from Berlin to Nuremberg by bike went well overall. The bike area was a bit more crowded than on the outward journey, but I still managed to find a space for my bike. The train was clean and comfortable, wifi didn't work all the time this time, but that was bearable. We were almost on time, just a slight delay at the end. The staff were friendly and helped us get off the train. Overall a pleasant journey, even if it wasn't quite as relaxed as the outward journey. I can recommend it!

Price in the Board BistroFor our four-day city trip to Berlin, I travelled by ICE with two friends. We had booked the tickets in good time and got a really good deal. The train was also the quickest and most relaxed way for us to get from A to B. We got there in just over 3 hours, and what impressed me most on the way was how quiet and comfortable travelling on the ICE is and that you can really get around quickly. I worked up a bit of an appetite in between and treated myself to some sandwiches in the on-board service - not exactly a bargain, but perfectly tasty. We left at around 11.00 am and arrived in Berlin shortly after 2.00 pm. The seats were really comfortable. It was pleasantly quiet in the carriage and everything, including the toilets, was well maintained. I found the stable wifi and the sockets for charging mobile phones and other devices particularly practical and the train was super punctual. Both on departure and arrival made the whole thing even more relaxed. All in all, the journey was a good overall package, especially for the price of around €25.

I was particularly pleasantly surprised by the comfort, comfortable seats, plenty of space and a quiet atmosphere. Wifi worked reliably, which made it easier for me to work while travelling. The small on-board bistro was also a plus point; a hot coffee and a snack simply make the journey more pleasant. And best of all, everything was on time, from departure to arrival. This is my idea of a relaxed journey. I can only recommend it!

I would particularly like to emphasise the relaxed atmosphere on board and the good air conditioning, which made the journey pleasant. However, there was one drawback: there was no working power socket at my seat.

Nothing to noteI really enjoyed the train ride from Berlin to Nuremberg. The train was not overcrowded and I felt very comfortable in my seat. The train was at a pleasant temperature and the staff were also exceptionally friendly and helpful. During my train journey, I also had a coffee in the Wort Bistro and was absolutely delighted with the wide selection of food and drinks. In addition, the train was very clean and the toilets were also well maintained. We arrived in Nuremberg on time and were informed of our arrival in good time. All in all, a really great train journey. Thumbs up in every respect.

The staff were very friendly and very helpful. I was connected to the wifi quickly and easily. I can't write anything negative about the cleanliness. It was really very clean. I can't say what the cleanliness was like in second class. Unfortunately, the train was 30 minutes late. Definitely recommendable with the Super Sparpreis.

FoodThe train journey from Berlin to Nuremberg was quite good. We showed up at the platform at 6:42 am and the train location was already there, although it wasn't supposed to arrive for another 10 minutes. That's punctuality. The staff was super nice and in a good mood. The temperature on the train was very good, it was warm but not too warm. Please one downside point is the food in the cafeteria. It tastes like it is reheated. All together 4 stars.

It was very clean on the train and the train looked very nice and modern. It was very quiet on the train. It was a great ride!

Very minor wifi problemsI travelled in 2nd class and this was my outward journey. I actually liked everything, except for the small wifi problems, but that is no reason to rate the journey with 4 stars, as the disruptions were only very brief and I otherwise liked everything. It was very comfortable. My train arrived on time. It was very clean on the train and the train looked very modern. Deserved 5 stars and I recommend the trip to everyone. In addition, the noise level on the train was very pleasant.

The train was on time and arrived a few minutes before the regular time. The train was very clean. The staff did a good job. All in all, it was a wonderful journey that I can only recommend.

Train was lateThe seats were uncomfortableFew socketsHigh faresMy experience on the train journey from Berlin to Nuremberg was quite disappointing. I was pleasantly surprised by the cleanliness of the train. The compartments and toilets were in good condition, which tried to save the journey. Unfortunately, this was not successful. The service on board was not entirely satisfactory. The staff were polite, but didn't seem very committed. You always had to ask for something yourself first, as nothing was ever offered.
The journey time was okay, although punctuality could be improved. My train was 7 minutes late. The comfort on the train was also mediocre. The seats were not particularly comfortable and there were not enough sockets for electronic devices. The price-performance ratio was therefore rather negative. The fares were quite high and the services offered did not justify the price.
Overall, the journey was therefore unfortunately not so recommendable. The standards offered were simply not met. And that's why I wouldn't recommend the trip to others.
