Pros

clean train

It was one of the best trips, it was clean and hygienic, uninterrupted internet and a generous weekend atmosphere, I forgot to look outside as I was having a great time. The mirrors in the toilets were clean. My food was delivered quickly and fresh. My coffee was very tasty. I enjoyed everything, as I liked everything, I can only recommend it. Great ride!

Pros

There was air conditioning

That was a journey in 2nd class. I travelled alone. What I liked best was the air conditioning, which made sure it didn't get too hot. It was very comfortable on the train and there was a table by the seat where you could eat. The staff were very friendly. My train arrived on time. I felt comfortable when I used the toilets. I can only recommend the trip as my ticket was also relatively cheap. Great food was also available.

Pros

On time

Seat found

Few passengers, train was empty

Nice staff

Delicious food in bistro

Cons

Relatively expensive

Slow internet

Toilet was a bit dirty

The train was really pleasantly empty then and actually on time. I found a seat on the train itself, which made me happy. The train staff were very friendly and talkative, especially because of the Corona time. The journey was without any problems and we reached Berlin on time. The wifi was unfortunately not the best, despite a good connection, the internet was very slow. Unfortunately, the toilets were not completely clean either, there was a lot of rubbish lying around. Otherwise, the journey was really pleasant, the ride was quiet and relaxed, power sockets at the seat worked, the food in the bistro was delicious and warm and the train attendants were in a good mood, so the station announcements were listened to with pleasure. The trip to Berlin was for private reasons, so the price was a bit expensive by my standards, precisely because there was not much demand at the time. However, since there was no alternative means of transport and the car would have been much more expensive in comparison, the price-performance ratio is okay.

Pros

very favourable

This was a very cheap ride, but provided a lot. I didn't notice anything that was negative, for a very cheap price everything was right. My train arrived on time and the wifi had full bars. The service was reactively reasonable for the price. It was quiet on the train. In addition, the staff were very nice. The toilets were also very clean. There is not one thing that was negative, so I am very happy to recommend the trip.

Pros

The friendliness of the staff

I really enjoyed the trip to Berlin. There was very good staff, so I enjoyed the trip. The food looked very tasty, which it was. I think there were also very tasty sweets on the menu. I also liked the ice cream extremely well. The internet worked very well, so I was able to download everything without any problems. The seats were also very comfortable. I also had a lot of space there. What really shocked me was that the staff were very attentive to hygiene. What was also very good was that my train arrived on time. I would gladly recommend it to others. The whole thing gets five out of five stars from me. I also felt comfortable using the toilets. The biggest reason why this ride gets five stars out of five is the value for money.

Pros

Air conditioning

This is a relatively fresh ride, by that I mean I rode 10 days ago. I really only have positive memories. The staff were very friendly and my ticket was relatively cheap for a 2nd class journey. I still have a very positive memory of the toilets, as they were very cool in design. The air conditioning also worked without any problems. A journey that is highly recommendable. In addition, my wifi was great and it was quiet on the train.

Pros

Drive

Cons

Delay

I wanted to go to an old friend's house after Christmas because she was having an operation and I wanted to visit her. I got the ticket without any problems and the price was quite ok for a journey in the ICE. The seats were comfortable and the wifi had a good connection while travelling, the socket was unfortunately broken in my seat but it wasn't really tragic. One of the negative things was the hygiene in the toilet.... Beer bottle in the sink, painted walls and toilet paper everywhere. It was also disgusting and unhygienic. Despite these negative events, the punctuality was 10 times more unpleasant than the hygiene. We often had to stop on the way and we didn't get any clear information. Then I arrived later than expected and missed my bus. I would give it a -10 for the journey and the DB.

Pros

Hygiene

The journey was recent and was my outward journey, which I can recommend. I had wifi and a power socket at my seat. My seat was very comfortable and the train was very quiet. If you needed food, you were provided with it. The staff were very friendly and you had many reservation options. What was great was that we were always told when we were arriving, which I thought was great. It was also very hygienic and clean. The train was on time and we didn't have to change trains. The price/performance ratio is very good. In general, 5 out of 5 stars. Top!

Pros

Modern train

Train was on time

Nice conductor

Cons

Toilet ear dirty

First of all I have to say that I have to praise the equipment and the cleanliness in the train, because there were 4 sockets at our seat, free wifi and another table, it doesn't get better than that. The seats were comfortable and the train had a pleasant temperature. However, the toilet was the worse, there was no toilet paper and in addition the floor was smeared with toilet paper and so on and had to go in another compartment. Price was reasonable.

Pros

Good price

On time

Cons

Cleanliness

I travelled from Duisburg to Berlin on the Flixtrain and must say it was a pleasant journey. Google train has a power socket under my seat but there was no wifi. The service was also very good, the staff were very friendly and I was able to make reservations over the internet from the comfort of my own home. About the cleanliness. The toilets were not so clean, but the rest of the train was clean. Technically, the price-performance ratio was very good, I only paid 20€. The train was also only 2 minutes late, which was pretty okay. In summary, it was a trip that was very worthwhile for €20 and I can only recommend it.

Pros

Punctuality

Cons

None

The journey home started with a positive surprise: the train was on time to the minute. The cleaning staff also did a really excellent job. I would definitely say that the price of the ticket is definitely customer-friendly. The atmosphere on the train was also restful and relaxing. The online site was also very well organised.

Pros

Clean

Personnel

Comfortable

Cons

Catering

Sockets

WIFI

The journey was very relaxed and pleasant. The Deutsche Bahn staff were very courteous and friendly. I have nothing to criticise here. Unfortunately, there are not enough sockets on the train and the wifi is very poor. Something definitely needs to be done here.

The journey today was very pleasant and relaxed. The Deutsche Bahn employee was very friendly and courteous. I sat very comfortably today and everything was really super clean. I have nothing to criticise here. However, there are not enough sockets on the train and the internet leaves a lot to be desired. Something definitely needs to be done here. What I also have to criticise today was the catering.

Pros

Less stressful than by car

Arrived quickly

Quiet

Cons

Price

Start: Duisburg Hbf 17.12 departure 06:08 track 13 ICE 843 and arrival was 10:14 in Berlin Hbf, because we wanted to Berlin Potsdam, we had to change at the main station to a RE 3345 departure 10:3 and arrival was 10:34. The ICE was clean and quiet. The seats were as expected very comfortable with plenty of power sockets. The RE was a bit crowded (typical for Berlin) and therefore louder. We much prefer travelling by train to by car as it is simply less stressful.
