The customer opinion was acquired via Cimenio. Cimenio incentivises its users for giving an honest opinion and proving the booking with a photo of the travel ticket.

Pro

Helpful staff

Equipment, comfort and cleanliness in the train

Contra

Announcements too quiet/unintelligible

Board bistro closed for the entire trip

From Berlin to Vienna, no on-board bistro was open, so I could not redeem my voucher. Announcements also did not work on the trip or were too quiet. However, the staff was helpful and assured me that there would be an opportunity to redeem it on the return trip. The train itself had been fine in terms of cleanliness, amenities and comfort. The train had gotten a delay in the meantime, had this due to the long standing times at the stations quickly out again, so that the train arrived at the destination and final station on time.

Pro

Uncomplicated

Contra

Price

The departure of the ICE from Berlin Hbf to Vienna Hbf was on time, so a positive start for the trip. The ride was pleasant, you have a power outlet available at the seat. It took a total of 7 hours and 40 minutes, with 11 stops along the way. There were no major delays during the trip, so we arrived at Vienna Central Station as planned. I find it very unfortunate that train travel is significantly more expensive than a plane ticket.

Pro

Price performance

On time

Contra

Food

The price-performance aspect of train travel from Berlin to Vienna is definitely positive. Ticket prices are usually affordable and reasonable, especially considering that it is a longer route. There are also various ticket options to suit individual needs, such as seat reservations and train classes.Train punctuality was impressive during my trip. Trains almost always departed on schedule and also arrived at their destination stations almost on time. This made for a stress-free and well-planned trip where I did not have to worry about delays.The service during the train trip was also satisfactory. The train staff was friendly and helpful and available to answer any questions or concerns. The food, however, was more a means to an end than enjoyment.The comfort of the trains on this route was pleasant. The seats were adequately cushioned and provided enough legroom. The cars were clean and well maintained. There were also opportunities to purchase snacks and beverages on board to allow passengers to have a pleasant meal during the trip.The amenities on the trains were of a satisfactory standard.

A very relaxed trip. The train arrived on time at the destination and we had no problems the whole way. It was very comfortable and I felt very comfortable throughout the trip. You could reserve your seat online but also on the spot which is very convenient. The staff was really friendly, everyone was smiling. In terms of cleanliness, the train was really very clean even though there were a lot of people.
