This was my outward journey and it was really good for me and there were no negative features at all. I was really very well equipped in my seat, it was very comfortable and I also had options to charge my mobile phone. The service did a good job, nice and friendly staff.

So on the train ride I could charge my mobile phone, but the seats were dusty and the fold-out tables were very scratched. The windows were also dirty. The toilets were very clean and had a good smell. Unfortunately, the staff couldn't help me much with questions. Fortunately, the train arrived at the airport on time, so I didn't miss my flight.

I took this trip because I was flying from Frankfurt airport. The train looked very beautiful and very modern. I had a wonderful view from the window. The service did a good job and served the orders quickly. It was very cold outside, but not inside the train, as the heaters worked without any problems. My ticket was quite cheap for what I got. I am happy to pass on the trip as my train also arrived on time.

Iconquite expensive
We took the ICE from Düsseldorf main station to Frankfurt airport. Since we had to catch a flight, it was of course very good that the train arrived on time in Düsseldorf. We also arrived in Frankfurt on time. Although we didn't have a seat reservation, we got seats to sit down. The seats are very comfortable and were equipped with power sockets. The wifi boat has a very good internet connection. In general, the entrance had a very clean impression. As there was little going on, the journey was very quiet. Overall, we felt very comfortable and arrived quite quickly in Frankfurt and luckily got our flight. Always happy to do so again.

I drove this trip because I flew from Frankfurt airport. I liked everything, which is why I got 5 stars. I really liked that there was a lot of attention paid to hygiene. The service was also very good, as my food was delivered quickly and was delicious. The toilets were particularly clean. I also had access to electricity at my seat. It was a solid ride, which is why I recommend it to everyone. In addition, my ticket was relatively cheap.
