I would like to share my experience on my train journey from Cologne to Wiesbaden. Overall, I was very satisfied with the comfort, cleanliness and value for money. The train I took was modern and well equipped. The seats were comfortable and had enough space to relax during the journey. Cleanliness, was in a very good condition on the train. The seats were clean and free from dirt. Floors were also well maintained and toilets had been cleaned regularly. I felt comfortable and hygienically safe throughout the journey. As for value for money, because I was pleasantly surprised! The price of the train ticket was fair and reasonable compared to other means of transport. The train journey was fast but on time. I was able to use the travel time efficiently to work and relax.

IconInterference-free
Cons
IconCleanliness
I have business dealings with real estate, so I often travel to the notary in Wiesbaden to attend notary appointments. The train arrived at the station on time and there were no disruptions or delays on the rest of the journey. Unfortunately, the train was not particularly well maintained this time and was in a desolate condition. The sanitary facilities were also anything but clean. The only positive thing was the price and the fact that there were no delays and I arrived at my appointment on time.
