Cons

Equipment

The train ticket from Erfurt to Hamburg was really great overall! The comfort was excellent, the seats comfortable and plenty of legroom. The service surprised me positively, the staff were friendly and the information provided was useful. The cleanliness on the train was also top. The only thing that was a bit of a minus point was the wifi. It was rather weak and annoying in between. But honestly, if you like comfort, service and cleanliness and are willing to do without wifi or use your own, then this train ticket is definitely worth a recommendation. I would definitely use it again.
