Pros

Very fast and cheap

Cons

None

A really nice train connection that I tried out once. The train arrived on time and I was able to board without any problems. There was no crowding and I was able to find a seat immediately. During the journey, the train was quiet and there was not as much vibration as usual. It was bright and very nicely air-conditioned in the train. Unfortunately, there was no electricity and no wifi, but there was a very decent toilet. I was able to reach my destination very quickly. I didn't actually expect to reach my destination so quickly, but I was pleasantly surprised. My recommendation for this train connection.

Pros

Very nice and fast connection

Cons

Somewhat unclean

The train arrived on time. There was no need to change trains as the train ran through. The booking of the ticket went smoothly. The facilities on the train were average, unfortunately there was no wifi and no electricity on the train. The toilet was okay, but unfortunately there was nothing to dry your hands. What I noticed negatively was that the floor was full of sand, which was unpleasant and therefore I only give four stars. Otherwise, I reached my destination quickly, the scenery along the way was very pleasant. My recommendation.

Pros

Very pleasant and relaxed train connection

Cons

No negative experiences

I use this connection very often and wanted to rate it here. The train is on time 90% of the time. It is mostly clean and comfortable. Unfortunately, there is no wifi connection, but there is a power source. There was no crowding, so everyone gets their seat. The toilet is clean and tidy. The connection is quite fast, so you reach your destination quickly. My recommendation for this train connection.

Pros

Fast connection

No change

Cons

None

I travelled from Bremen to Hamburg with the ME 82016 train and arrived very satisfied. The journey only took 1 hour and 10 minutes and I didn't have to change trains. The staff on the train were nice and the ticket check was quick. I took food and drinks with me in my backpack and had a nice meal there.

Pros

Cleanliness

Cons

Punctuality

Reliability

Staff

I travelled to Hamburg for a business appointment and have to honestly say that this connection from Bremen to Hamburg is absolutely unreliable and poorly organised. The train was first shown as 10 minutes late and then after 10 minutes as 20 minutes late. The staff were totally unfriendly and didn't seem very competent, as no one could give us any further information about when the train would arrive, because the display at the station was also constantly changing. I really hope that I simply had a bad day, but unfortunately I have noticed that this happens frequently on this route, so it is absolutely not recommendable and in urgent need of improvement.

Pros

Quick

Beautiful train

Cons

None

The journey was from Bremen to Hamburg, second class, by IC. I did not make a reservation. However, the train was not full and I got a seat. It was a very nice and well-maintained train. The journey went by very quickly, which I welcomed. There was an on-board bistro which served delicious coffee. The service on board could not be complained about. All in all, highly recommended.

Pros

Speed

Cons

None

I took the ICE from Hamburg Hauptbahnhof to Bremen Hauptbahnhof on Wednesday. The journey was quite short and the price-performance ratio was very good. The cleanliness and hygiene on the train was very good and the conductor was very friendly. Basically, I would always recommend this trip again, as it would have taken much longer to get from Hamburg to Bremen by car and would certainly not have been as pleasant.

Pros

Clean train

Fast ride

Cons

None

I travelled second class from Bremen to Hamburg. The journey was very pleasant and passed extremely quickly. The train was in a clean and very well-maintained condition. I did not make a reservation and still got a seat as the train was not full. The train was also on time. The Deutsche Bahn staff were very friendly and courteous. I cannot say anything negative about this trip.

Pros

None

Cons

Punctuality

Reliability

Cleanliness

The connection from Bremen to Hamburg is pretty much the most unreliable connection in Germany. I have to travel this route often and unfortunately I have almost never experienced that everything worked as it should. Absolutely not recommendable, but unfortunately nothing has changed in this situation for months.

Pros

Swiftly

Cons

Comfort

I have to say that overall I was very satisfied with the Metronome. The wifi worked well and I was able to do my work during the journey, which was very convenient. The seats were also very comfortable and I could relax well during the journey. The toilets were clean and well maintained, which I also appreciated. As for the snacks that were available for purchase, I must say that they looked delicious. However, I didn't get a chance to try them as the trip was quite short. But I think it would be a nice option for longer rides.

Pros

Hygiene was great

Cons

5 min too late

The train journey was very pleasant. The staff were very friendly and my compartment and the toilet were clean. Power sockets and wifi were available and I am very happy with the journey. Unfortunately, we arrived at our destination station in Hamburg 5 minutes late.

Pros

Comfortable

Stress-free

Cons

None

I always prefer travelling by train to taking the car, as it's simply much more relaxed. The train arrived on time, which is almost always the case, and I didn't have to change trains and go straight through. The staff are nice and there is a board bistro. I had a table at my seat and plenty of legroom. The train was also equipped with wifi and charging facilities. A clear recommendation!

Pros

Overpunctual

Cons

Toilet stank

The journey was very pleasant. I was travelling with a colleague and the train staff were nice to us. The train was well cleaned, unfortunately the toilet was very smelly. Power sockets were available. Wifi was also available, but didn't work so well. We arrived at our destination station in Hamburg 3 minutes ahead of schedule.

Pros

Utilisation

Duration

Cons

Hygiene in the toilets

My journey with Deutsche Bahn from Bremen Hbf to Hamburg Hbf was extremely satisfactory. The journey was quick, the capacity utilisation was very low and everything around it was very pleasant, so I can hardly think of any negative aspects. Only the toilets were unfortunately not as clean as usual, which was certainly an exception. The service was otherwise very good and friendly. The internet was also very easy to use.
