Pros

Good value

Quick

Cons

Very full

The train journey from Dresden to Berlin was a positive experience. The train was clean and modern, with enough space for luggage and comfortable seats. The journey went smoothly and on time, without any major delays or incidents. During the journey I was able to enjoy the beautiful scenery and relax. It was also nice that there was a food ration which was sufficient, the toilets were clean and well maintained. The staff were polite and helpful. Enough information about the trip was also provided. It was also quite reasonably priced, making it an attractive option. The only drawback was that the train was very crowded and it was difficult to find a seat standing, which can be uncomfortable. I therefore recommend booking early to avoid this problem. Overall, the train journey from Dresden to Berlin was a pleasant and comfortable way to travel. I would definitely recommend this option if you are looking for a reliable and cheaper way to travel between these two cities.

Pros

Punctuality

good wifi

This was my return journey in second class and it was quite solid. I didn't notice anything bad, which is why I got 5 stars. My train arrived more or less on time and I also arrived on time. The staff came over very personable and were also very helpful and did the best they could and did a good job. I felt comfortable using the toilets. The food was very fresh. I am very happy to pass on this trip.

Pros

Speed

Price

Cons

Train load factor

The occupancy was high, but you still found a seat with a little searching alone. The service staff was friendly, the train was clean. There were 2 sockets for 6 people in the compartment - a bit few, but OK. The toilets worked. Price-performance ratio very good if booked in time (approx. 16€). The train was on time and as fast as a car journey.

Pros

Not overcrowded

Cons

Dirty

Delay

Smell

This train journey was not a good experience. The train was 30 minutes late. The train was not only late, but also dirty. The seats and tables had stains and crumbs on them. The toilets were not clean either. The train also had an unpleasant smell. The only good thing was that the train was not overcrowded. I do not recommend this trip.

Pros

Heaters were on

rapid travel

I can lovingly recommend this ride and rate it 5 stars. My ticker was a round trip and this was my return trip. For what I got, my ticket was relatively cheap. The train arrived on time and there was no change of trains. The toilets were very clean and hygienic. There was a lot of choice of delicious food. The staff were very friendly. The train was very quiet and it was warm inside because the heaters were on. The seats were very comfortable, the wifi was very good and I had power sockets too.

Pros

Air conditioning

Cleanliness

I really enjoyed this ride and got it at a very fair price, which was 100% worth it. I really liked the air conditioning as it ensured that the temperature on the train was reasonable. The wifi was good. I was in a very clean environment and the food was delicious. I can only recommend the trip as I was also very comfortable on the train. I must also say that my train arrived on time. A very great trip!

Pros

Air conditioning

Lockers

Cons

The delay of the train.

To start with, I would like to mention the only negative thing, which is that the train was late. I loved that there was air conditioning, which made sure it didn't get too cold or too hot. There were also lockers where you could lock up things or valuables if necessary. My train ticket was quite cheap. The whole train was very clean. As the delay was the only negative thing, I can only recommend the trip and also thanks to the nice staff.

Pros

Very good coffee

hygienic

My train arrived on time. When I boarded, I immediately noticed that everything was clean and hygienic. I was very comfortable in my comfy seat. The internet was great throughout. I had ordered a coffee and a croissant, both arrived very quickly. My croissant was very fresh and my coffee was very good. My view from the window was very nice. The staff were very nice, respectful and friendly. I was very comfortable on the clean train. Everything went well and I would definitely repeat this trip. I can only pass it on, great ride!

Pros

kind staff

A great trip, which I am very happy to rate with 5 stars. I especially liked that the staff were very nice and went out of their way. My train arrived on time and the price of my ticket was OK, but definitely worth it. The wifi was good and I had a socket at my seat. My seat was very comfortable. For all the positive reasons, I'm very happy to give the ride away. Great ride!

Pros

Cheap

Beautiful surroundings

High comfort

Cons

Wifi limited

The train journey from Dresden to Berlin was very comfortable and relaxed. The carriage was freshly cleaned and the seats were equipped with everything you could wish for. The seat was comfortable and the power socket at the seat also worked perfectly. Unfortunately, we only saw a few train staff on the journey. The wifi was also at its limits in some places, so that it sometimes had dropouts. But the view outside made up for it, the route is really beautiful and offers many views of beautiful Saxony and Brandenburg.

Pros

Fast drive

Cons

None

I have to say that the journey really did fulfil all my expectations, even though I wasn't expecting it. The train was on time and arrived at the specified time. The seats were comfortable and I had enough legroom. The hygiene in the toilets was good and they were stocked with everything I needed. The staff were friendly and the service was good. The price-performance ratio is very fair. A clear recommendation from me!
