Pros

Quiet ride

Clean train

On time

Cons

Wifi not stable

The journey from Frankfurt am Main to Darmstadt Hbf was a very quiet one. This was because there were not very many people on the train. In addition, the stated arrival time was kept exactly. Another big plus point of the train journey was the very clean train. I did not expect that. It was not a long journey, but this point really made this trip very pleasant. They tried to use the wifi, but it wasn't really stable.

Pros

Top price/performance

hardly any delay

Quiet volume level

free wifi

Cons

No soap at the sink

Travelling from Frankfurt (Main) to Darmstadt by train totally changed my view of DB. This time the price-performance ratio was really top. I didn't have to change trains and the train was hardly delayed (5 minutes). It was really quiet in my compartment on the train, which is also important to me as I often have to work during my train journey. I also don't have to use mobile data as DB offers free wifi access on the train. The only thing I didn't quite like was that there was no soap at the washbasin. Nevertheless, I recommend the journey.
