Pros

Beautiful atmosphere

Have a good trip

Nice staff

Cons

Nothing to criticise

I spent a weekend in Frankfurt and travelled to and from the city on this train. I really liked the train ride and there is not much to criticise. The comfort was very pleasant and the train was not delayed. The train and toilets were also clean and the staff were friendly and offered me a free coffee. The whole atmosphere on board was also very nice and I recommend everyone to travel by train as it is also more environmentally friendly.

Pros

On time

Quick

Reliable

Cons

None

We took the Deutsche Bahn ICE from Cologne to Frankfurt Airport to catch our flight to Seoul. The train arrived on time in Cologne and reached its destination at Frankfurt Airport at the specified time. The seats were comfortable and floor enough for our suitcases and bags. There were sockets for our electrical devices and the internet was very good. The toilets were very clean and we felt very comfortable. I would recommend this trip to others.

Pros

Positively surprised

Cons

No complaints

The booking of this trip was smooth and pleasant. From the booking to my destination, everything went smoothly. I was very satisfied with this connection, you meet really nice people on the way, you get something to eat and drink if you feel like it. It's clean and the staff were really friendly. I listened to an audio book during the journey, so the trip was even more enjoyable. It's fun to travel with ICE.

Pros

All in order

Cons

Have nothing to complain about

The journey from Cologne main station to Frankfurt was smooth. From the booking to the last stop. The staff were friendly and pleasant, it was quiet and there was plenty of comfort on the train. During the journey it was wonderful to watch the scenery. There was a snack bar, wifi and electricity. The toilets were clean and neatly designed. There was enough space so that you felt very comfortable during the journey. All in all, very pleasant and recommendable.

Pros

Pleasant

Quick

Cons

None

I bought a ticket for the train connection between Cologne Messe Deutz and Munich Hauptbahnhof. However, the ICE always departs from Cologne main station and passes the trade fair station in the direction of Munich, but via Frankfurt main station. I can therefore give the journey between Cologne and Frankfurt a good rating. The journey by train hardly takes more than 1 hour. The train was not completely full, at least on my journey. The Deutsche Bahn staff always tried to provide reasonable comfort for the passenger. If I had the choice between travelling to Frankfurt by car or by train, I would take the train. The journey is quicker and less stressful.

Pros

On time

Clean

Quiet

Cons

Wagon order

The journey from Cologne to Frankfurt am Main was very quick. There was only one stopover. Before the journey, I reserved a seat, which I found free on the train. The train left on time. The train itself was very quiet and rather empty. Despite the early time of the week, there were few passengers on the train. This made the journey even more pleasant. The seat was very clean and the seat adjustment worked as expected. On the way, I was able to charge my iPhone and watched a film via the wifi on the train. I was able to check my ticket using the comfort check-in. I booked the journey only one day before and the price was reasonable. This is how I like to travel by train!

Pros

smooth ride

Cons

weak wifi

On business, I was on my way from Cologne to Frankfurt am Main. I am used to the route itself, so it was nothing new. Fortunately, the main part of the journey was very pleasant and quiet, as I also sat down in the designated rest compartment. Every now and then it got a bit hectic, but that is normal and predictable for longer train journeys. The train was also very punctual, which made it easier to reach connections and made my own journey a lot more pleasant, as I still had appointments later on. Minus point unfortunately for the rather poor wifi reception, which was probably just overloaded by all the fellow passengers. Toilets were clean and sockets were also available and worked well!

Pros

On time

Quick

Reliable

Cons

Too full

To catch my flight to Tokyo, I used the train to get from Cologne to Frankfurt. Unfortunately, the train was very full. I didn't have the chance to go to the toilet at all. Nor did I have the opportunity to find a seat. At least the service staff on the train were very nice and were also permanently approachable. Even though the train was very full, we left and arrived very punctually. The price was perfectly fine.

Pros

punctual

clean toilets

kind staff

Cons

somewhat expensive

We had to go from Cologne to Frankfurt airport to catch our flight to Seoul. We took the ICE and were very satisfied. The train arrived on time and we were also at our destination on time. The staff greeted us in a very friendly manner and also showed us our seats, which we had reserved in advance. The seats were very comfortable and offered a power socket for charging devices. The wifi on the train was also very good and offered a stable internet connection. The toilets were very clean and easy to use. We were very satisfied and would do it again, except that the tickets are quite expensive at 30 euros.
