The two of us travelled from Erfurt to Berlin for a holiday. The train journey was punctual and largely relaxing. There were no inconveniences or delays on the journey. Unfortunately, the on-board restaurant is expensive and has very little choice. We did not use the on-board entertainment, but the wifi was free and easy to use. In terms of hygienic cleanliness, it is disappointing to say that the train was quite dirty and we didn't have a look at the toilets.

The carriage could also have been a little cleaner. Still acceptable for a medium-distance journey, but not ideal.

I wasn't particularly happy with this journey. The train was almost half an hour late right at the start and there was no proper information on the platform.

At least the staff were friendly and made an effort, but overall the journey was quite tiring.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
