Pleasant journey

Cons

None

The price-performance ratio of this trip is unbeatable. Compared to the train, the bus is a cheap alternative and offers a very pleasant way to travel. The bus was punctual on departure in Erfurt and arrival in Berlin. We reached our destination after a journey time of approx. 4 hours. No traffic jams or other delays. A quiet journey. The seats are clean and not too cramped. You have enough space and can make yourself comfortable. The free internet worked great. The ride is recommended at most.

Not overcrowded, nice train attendant, great price-performance ratio.

Clean WC

There were no delays, the reservation went smoothly, the staff was very friendly. The toilets and the train were very clean, there are power sockets at the site and there is free wifi. You can use the blind at the window. We will gladly travel with Deutsche Bahn again.

Pros

Arrival on time

Nice staff

Clean toilet

Cons

No sockets

No wifi

I found the journey very pleasant and nice, except that the train was a bit outdated, which is why there was no wifi or power sockets. Nevertheless, the train was very clean and the toilets were very well maintained. The staff were also very friendly and the food in the on-board bistro was still warm. The train was also on time and you could sit comfortably. It was also surprisingly quiet, which is why it was great to take a little power nap.

Pros

Time

Price

Cons

Capacity utilisation

Booking time

The journey to Erfurt by train is much faster than by car. You don't have to change trains. If you book in time, have a BahnCard and are young, the price is good. If you want to travel at short notice, the prices are very high. The train was clean, but also very crowded. The toilet and wifi worked. I didn't see any staff during the entire journey.

Pros

Train was very clean

Cons

No negative aspects

The train ride was very uncomfortable and I didn't feel uncomfortable. There was free, wifi and an extra socket for everyone where you could charge your mobile phone. The seats were very comfortable. The service was very, very friendly. You could book on the spot as well as online. The train was quite clean and well maintained. I was also really satisfied with the price. I can recommend it for everyone.

Pros

Seats

Punctuality

Cons

Catering prices

My train journey from Erfurt to Berlin had some positive aspects, but there were also some points that marred my experience. The train itself was decent and the seats were acceptable, but they were not particularly comfortable. There was a lack of sufficient padding and the seating position left something to be desired. The cleanliness on the train could also have been better as there were some dirty areas. The on-time departure and arrival were definitely a plus and the train ride was smooth for the most part. However, there were some minor delays along the way which were a bit annoying. The scenery during the train journey was average for the most part. The customer service on the train was average. The train staff were friendly but not particularly attentive. There were also no special amenities or additional services that would have made my journey more enjoyable. The food options on the train were limited and the quality was average. There was a lack of a diverse selection of food and drinks and the prices were a bit high. Overall, my train journey from Erfurt to Berlin was okay, but it didn't really impress me. There were some positives such as the punctuality and basic functionality of the train, but it lacked comfort and outstanding features that would have made the journey an exceptional experience.

Pros

Quick

Comfortable

Cons

No on-board service

The train's facilities were just massive. There was no wifi on the train and power sockets only in the compartment by the window. Only 2 of them. The seats were ok. Nothing special, but not uncomfortable either. There was no on-board service on the night train. You could reserve seats, which is advisable. The train was very clean. The train was 30 minutes late in Erfurt and 10 minutes late in Berlin. Price-performance ratio is very good. 10 euros from Erfurt to Berlin.

Pros

Very courteous train staff

Punctual arrival

Delicious coffee in the on-board bistro

Cons

Nothing

I really enjoyed my train journey to Berlin. We both left and arrived on time and the train staff were always helpful and very friendly. All the toilets were open and their cleanliness left nothing to be desired either. During the journey, I grabbed a coffee in the on-board bistro and found it to be very good value for money. I had enough space in my seat and I personally also found the seats very comfortable. All in all, a very pleasant train journey. Nothing could have been better.

Pros

Climate friendly

fast

Cons

Comfort

Punctuality

The equipment was inadequate, the wifi did not work and there were only a few power sockets in the carriage. The comfort was also not good, the seat pitch was smaller than on the plane, although the ticket was issued for first class. The service was non-existent. There was no catering at the seat and the reservation cost €5.90 extra. The only positive points were the information, which was well presented, and the cleanliness, which was complete. The journey time was longer than planned as the train was late and overcrowded, which had a very negative impact on the quality of the journey. The price-performance ratio was poor. I paid a lot of money for an unpleasant journey.

Pros

Super

Cons

Nothing

It is so comfortable that you are connected to the Internet while travelling on the train. I was very satisfied with the Internet connectivity on board. I would say Deutsche Bahn has the best service. It is so easy to charge your phone during the trip on the board. Thank you DB!!!

Pros

Price

Cons

Everything was okay

The train connection exceeded my expectations. The punctuality was impressive, the train arrived exactly on time. The price was fair compared to other transport options. The cleanliness of the train was impeccable, the seats and floors looked freshly cleaned. The wifi worked great and was mostly stable. The toilet facilities were clean and smelled pleasant. I found the train service very good as it was punctual, clean and cheap.
