Cons

According to

I travelled by 2nd class ICE, the journey was very pleasant and in my opinion recommendable. The journey dragged on a bit, but it was still faster than by car and also much cheaper. The snack bar was open and I bought a coffee. It was a bit too expensive, in my opinion. The train looked a bit run down, but was nowhere near capacity. There was plenty of seating available, so I felt very free and comfortable on the journey. I would very much like to repeat this trip.

Cons

The journey goes by very quickly, especially with the ICE. The ICE arrived on time. It was a relatively new train, it looked very well maintained. I can say little about the staff, as they were not really present on the short route. Even without a BahnCard, the price for the one-way journey was quite affordable. At the time I travelled, which was around 13:00, the train was not overcrowded. There were plenty of seats.
