Pro

Punctuality

Modern train

Beautiful train

That was my outward journey and it was great. As expected, my train was on time and I boarded. When I got on, I was amazed at how nice and modern the train looked. The wifi was very good and I had a power socket at my comfy seat. The volume on the train was also very pleasant. The whole train, especially the toilets, were clean. It was a great trip and I can recommend it to others.

Pro

Comfort

Service

Contra

Equipment

I recently took the ICE from Dresden main station to Frankfurt am Main. The journey of about 4 hours was very comfortable thanks to the extremely helpful staff and the comfortable seats. The cleanliness in the train was also top! The only negative thing was the wifi, which didn't work all the time... Fortunately, we did not have to deal with unpunctuality.

Pro

Cheap

Sockets

Contra

Delay

For the journey from Dresden to Frankfurt am Main, the Deutschland Ticket came just in time. It allowed me to arrive cheaply. However, there were also delays on the route, which were really annoying. On the other hand, there was still some time to get food. The toilets were absolutely fine for a train. It should be clear that the 49-euro ticket should be bought here, because the prices are already a bit high. At least the delay was announced and said in the app, and very accurately.

Pro

Travel

Contra

Hygiene

I recently travelled from Dresden to Frankfurt am Main. The journey itself was very pleasant and comfortable... There were no delays, there was a pleasant climate in the train and the service was top! However, the hygienic condition in the train was not optimal... It should definitely have been cleaner

Pro

Comfortable

Contra

Trains

The journey was very pleasant overall and I was very happy with the service Deutsche Bahn provided. One of the things I particularly enjoyed was the wifi. It worked really well and I was able to do my work during the journey, which is very important for me. The on-board entertainment was also very good. There were many ways to entertain yourself during the journey, be it through movies, music or games. I thought it was great that Deutsche Bahn provided these options. Another big plus was the punctuality of the trains. The trains were all on time and I had no problems catching my connecting train. This is particularly important for me as a frequent traveller, as I often have appointments that I have to keep. Finally, I would like to mention that the trains were quite empty. This helped to make the journey very relaxed and quiet. There was enough space for all passengers and I could just sit back and enjoy the ride.

Pro

good wifi

My train arrived on time and the staff were very nice. The food was very fresh and also very tasty. The train was clean and I felt comfortable using the toilets. The wifi was good all the time even though so many were using it. My train ticket was relatively cheap for what I got. The seats were very comfortable and I had plenty of room for myself and also for my luggage. I had a table and power sockets at my seat. That was my outward journey, I'll pass it on.

I travelled in second class and travelled alone. My ticket was very reasonably priced. When I arrived at the station, my train came. I was greeted very nicely and with a smile by the staff. Then I ordered something to eat and it was very tasty. The wifi was good throughout. Disinfectant and soap were provided. I am very happy to pass on the trip.

Pro

Punctuality

pleasant atmosphere

Contra

somewhat expensive

That was my outward journey and the only negative thing is the price, but otherwise I liked everything. My train arrived on time and I also arrived in Frankfurt on time. The heaters were on in the train as it was cold outside. I liked the services because my food was delivered quickly. My meal was delicious and relatively cheap. The wifi had full bars. The atmosphere was great as it was very quiet on the train and the view from the window was very nice. Despite the price, I recommend the trip because everything else was right and the staff were also very nice.
