From Berlin to Rostock I was able to use the regional express train, which took less than 3 hours. It was very crowded at the beginning, which made it difficult for me to get a seat. This seat was very uncomfortable for long periods of time and there was also no internet connection. There were plenty of power sockets available. The staff were very friendly and provided further information about connections. The train itself was very clean, but the toilets didn't look very hygienic. As I arrived in Rostock without changing trains and without any delays, I can recommend the journey.

The connection was ideal, direct to the destination without changing trains. Compared to the stressful car journey, it was much more pleasant. The comfort was right, the seats were comfortable and the compartment was quiet. There was an on-board bistro offering simple snacks, which was perfectly okay. The toilet was clean and the staff were friendly. The price is a little more expensive than expected, but the journey was worth it for the savings in nerves.

At least the staff remained friendly, but overall it was not a pleasant experience.
