The train ride from Düsseldorf to Hamburg was really great! Firstly, the train was super punctual, which is not always the case. Secondly, I loved how environmentally friendly the journey was. That's really important nowadays. But yes, here comes the "but", the train toilet was not completely clean. That was a bit of a shame, but didn't ruin my good mood. Overall, the trip was really cool and I would definitely book the ticket again.

The train journey from Düsseldorf to Hamburg with IC 2196 left mixed impressions. The departure was on time and the train seemed modern and comfortable. The seats were comfortable and offered enough space. The panoramic windows provided a nice view during the journey and the on-board catering had a good selection of food and drinks. However, some negative aspects marred the experience. Unfortunately, there were technical problems during the journey that led to delays.

Advantages
IconTop service
IconPleasant ride
Disadvantages
IconWeak internet
I would like to share my extremely positive experience travelling by train from Düsseldorf to Hamburg . This journey was overall a pleasure, characterised by both a pleasant ride and outstanding service. However, there was a small snag in the form of a weak internet connection. The journey on this train was extremely pleasant, the carriages were clean, comfortable and well maintained. The seats were comfortable, which is especially true for longer journeys. Train ride was overall quiet and relaxing and I was able to enjoy the scenery while reclining in my seat. The internet connection on the train was weak. This makes it difficult for me to be productive or connect to the internet during the journey. This was particularly unfortunate as I had planned to complete some tasks during the journey. However, I was able to read through and relax well. In summary, I can recommend this train ticket with a clear conscience. For a relaxing and comfortable journey, this train ticket is definitely a good choice.

The train journey from Düsseldorf to Hanover was a pleasant experience overall. The departure was on time and the train was clean and well maintained.

The announcements were clearly understandable and regular information was given about the current location and the next stops.

The journey from Düsseldorf to Osnabrück started slightly late at Düsseldorf main station. The reserved seat was found quickly and was very comfortable and convenient. There was a power socket, which was handy for charging the mobile phone and laptop. The toilets in the compartment were also very clean. In addition, the train staff were very nice and accommodating. A very pleasant and recommendable trip.
Advantages
IconGood comfort
IconBeautiful train
Disadvantages
IconSlight delay
Many of my friends live in Düsseldorf, which is why I travel the Düsseldorf Hamburg route quite often. It feels like older trains are used on this route. This is not a problem for me, however, as the train was nevertheless very clean and also quite punctual (we were only slightly delayed by 10 minutes). Unfortunately, my power socket didn't work, but the on-board staff allowed me to change my seat without any complications. That was really nice. Overall, I can only recommend the route.
Advantages

The journey from Düsseldorf Central Station to Hamburg takes around 4 hours and 20 minutes. Many of these routes include a change of trains in Hanover. The ICE and IC trains on this route are comfortable and have stable wifi. If you book early, this route is relatively cheap, but the price can rise significantly for journeys at short notice. This makes this rail route a very good alternative to domestic flights.
