Pros

Good connection

Good wifi

Friendly staff

Cons

Slight delay

A quick connection to the big city. Unfortunately with a slight delay, which was a bit unfortunate for a business meeting, as it degenerated into quite a rush. Next time, maybe just take a connection earlier and go for a coffee if need be. The seat was clean and the wifi connection held up as well. The staff was still a bit tired, but friendly. The price-performance ratio was right.

Pros

Service good

Clean

Cons

Seats defective

To my surprise, the train was very clean. Even the rubbish bins were empty. However, my row of seats was torn open. That was very annoying. The train attendants were nice and polite. Power sockets were also used on this journey for charging mobile phones. These worked.

Pros

Great connections

Good value

Comfort

Cons

Stress when changing trains

Staff (unfriendly)

Hygiene

To get to my destination, Sylt, I travelled from Darmstadt to the Frankfurt branch and I must say that for the first time in a long time I was satisfied with the comfort on the train. However, the staff was unfortunately not very nice, seemed very stressed and behaved unfriendly towards me. Nevertheless, the train ride is worth its price. One thing that bothered me was the stress of changing trains, as Frankfurt is a very large station. But mainly I am satisfied with the good train connections all over Germany.

Pros

Productive working thanks to the wifi and sockets

Cons

High noise level on the train

The train journey from Darmstadt to Frankfurt am Main on 17 August 2023 was extremely pleasant. The equipment with reliable wifi and working sockets enabled productive work. The comfort left nothing to be desired: comfortable seats, a pleasant volume and a good selection of catering contributed to relaxation. The service was excellent - friendly staff, easy booking and helpful information included. The cleanliness was top: hygiene and toilets were impeccable. The duration of the journey was ideal, as there were no transfer restrictions and the punctuality was perfect. Price-performance ratio: excellent!
