I thought it was really good overall. The service on the train was attentive and friendly, you were even asked if you needed anything. There was no need to change trains, which is worth its weight in gold on longer journeys. The wifi was stable for the most part, only in tunnels did it sometimes get stuck. The view was nothing special, there was only industry and forest. I hardly saved any time compared to the car, but I was much more relaxed. Comfort was great, I was even able to sleep a bit.

For my journeys from Düsseldorf to Berlin, I usually choose the ICE 549. The direct connection is convenient as it doesn't require any changes and therefore saves time. However, I often travel at a well-booked time of day - so if you want to be sure of a seat, you should reserve one in advance. Despite being very busy, the journey was pleasant overall. There was a slight delay, but it was within reason and didn't disrupt my plans.

I found the very good punctuality of the ICE to be a great advantage. Boarding was easy and I was able to take my seat without any stress. The journey was quiet and pleasant. Unfortunately, the toilets were not as clean as I would have expected. There was no paper supply and the general condition was not very well maintained. I would therefore deduct one star overall.

I was visiting a friend in Berlin and travelled there by Deutsche Bahn. The train arrived very punctually and also left on time. You can be in Berlin within a few hours. The seats on the train were a bit outdated, but it was still very clean and didn't smell. There was a bistro where I bought a coffee and a sandwich. However, the prices here are very expensive.

The train journey left a very good impression. As soon as I boarded, I noticed that the train was tidy and well maintained. There was enough space for me to sit and work comfortably. It was particularly positive that the departure and arrival were exactly on schedule. During the journey, there was regular information about the next stops, which I found very helpful. The sanitary facilities were also clean and well equipped. The service staff were attentive and answered questions in a friendly manner. Overall, a very pleasant and trouble-free journey that I would happily repeat.

Unsuitable for streaming or larger downloads. Nevertheless, a pleasant journey, especially if you want to work while travelling.

IconDelay of 25 minutes
The train from Düsseldorf to Berlin was very full. I only had a good seat reservation. Unfortunately, it was very noisy on the train, which made it impossible to relax. The seats were comfortable and there were plenty of facilities, such as power sockets and wifi. The train was relatively clean, but the toilet in my compartment was broken. All the other toilets looked hygienic. The staff were very friendly and the on-board bistro was also open. Unfortunately, we arrived in Berlin 25 minutes late. However, I didn't have to change trains and the ticket price was fine. Overall, I found the journey mediocre.
Advantages
IconHeaters were on
It was a fantastic journey: I had great wifi and sockets at my comfy seat, it was very quiet on the train and catering was there (first aid kit), the staff were nice and the service was fast, what surprised me the most was that the toilets were very well maintained and smelled very good. I also thought it was great that the heaters were on as it was very cold at the time. I can definitely recommend it, as my ticket was very cheap.
Advantages
IconCleanliness
The first thing I want to mention is that the train was very clean and hygienic. My wifi was very strong and I had a socket at my seat. My train ticket was cheap and the journey was pleasant. The food was delicious and my drink was cold. I can pass it on because of the cheap price. Also, this has a baby changing station that can be used by people who have a baby. The toilets were very clean and hygienic, so I can recommend it.

I took the ICE from Düsseldorf to Berlin. The journey was very pleasant in itself. And above all, it was finally on time. Which is a rarity with Deutsche Bahn. The journey takes about 4:50 hours. The board staff was very friendly and the bistro was also full this time. So I could eat a delicious, but very expensive cake. The toilets were generally okay. What is always positive is that there are sockets to charge your smartphone or laptop. So you can take a little work with you. I have seen worse. On the whole, I am quite satisfied with the journey. However, Deutsche Bahn really needs to think about the prices.
Advantages

Disadvantages
Icontoo full
The Flixtrain had power sockets and wifi, but unfortunately it didn't work very well. The train was on time and there were no technical difficulties and everything on the train was clean, but we had a seat reservation that was simply cancelled with an email a few hours before our departure. The reason for this was a missing carriage and we were allocated new seats, however we had to sit backwards, which my travel partner has problems with, so this was a big minus point for us. It was also just overcrowded and a bit stuffy. However, as compensation we received the price of the seat reservation in the form of a Flixtrain/bus voucher.

Disadvantages
Iconpretty full
We travelled from Düsseldorf main station to Berlin by ICE. As we were aware that we were travelling at Christmas time, we luckily booked extra seats beforehand. Although the train was quite full, we were able to get to our seats, which were equipped with power sockets, and sit down. The wifi on the train was surprisingly stable over the journey and the staff were also very nice and friendly. In fact, we left on time and arrived in Berlin on time, despite the overcrowded train and the crowded station. We didn't use the bistro, but it was open. The toilets were very clean and we felt comfortable during the journey. If train travel was always like this, I would do it more often!
