I travelled in second class. There was a lot of choice on the menu and there were also foreign dishes. There was a lot of space for luggage and travel bags. The amazing thing is that there was a television. My seat was very comfortable. The whole train was very clean. This trip is highly recommended.

Pros

pleasant journey

Delicious food

This ride was very pleasant because it was not too fast and not so slow. Then I sat down in my comfortable seat and ordered something to eat. The prices on the menu were okay, but the food was very tasty. Then I had a toilet ride and I was amazed at how very clean the toilets were. I really enjoyed this trip, so I'm passing it on.

Pros

Landscape

Cons

Maintenance

Volume

My train journey from Frankfurt am Main to Stuttgart was alright overall, but also had some minor inconveniences. On the positive side, the train departed and arrived on time. The journey time was reasonable and I had enough time to reach my destination. The seats on the train were averagely comfortable and offered enough space to stretch out during the journey. The train route itself was scenic for the most part. I was able to enjoy some beautiful views of the surrounding area and that was definitely a plus. However, there were also some aspects that I have to criticise. The train looked a bit outdated and could have used better maintenance. The cleanliness on the train also left a lot to be desired as there were some dirty areas. The customer service on board was average. The train staff were not particularly friendly or helpful. The range of snacks and drinks was also limited and the prices were excessive. The noise level was bearable where I was, but unfortunately there were also some chaotic people. All in all, my train journey from Frankfurt to Stuttgart was acceptable but not outstanding. There is room for improvement in terms of the condition of the train, cleanliness and customer service. If these points could be improved, I would certainly recommend the train journey more.

Pros

Simplicity

Cons

Many delays

Wifi and power sockets are available and work well. The seats are very comfortable and there is enough space. The service is very friendly and helpful. It is also very clean everywhere. Unfortunately, there are often delays. Nevertheless, the price-performance ratio is very good.

Pros

Smooth and understandable

Cons

None

I can only report positive things about this trip. The journey from Frankfurt to Stuttgart was very pleasant and went smoothly. Unfortunately there was no wifi, but that was not so bad. The seats were pleasantly soft and clean, the whole train was in a decent condition. The toilet was also acceptable. All in all, a very pleasant trip that I would gladly repeat and recommend to others.

Pros

Comfort

Cons

None

I was very satisfied with the train journey from Frankfurt am Main main station to Stuttgart main station. The journey was very pleasant and the ICE arrived on time. For just under €60, I think the price is justified. I can't say anything negative about the journey. Hygiene as well as cleanliness on the train were satisfactory and although it was winter, the train was not too cold. I would recommend the purchase.

Pros

Fast connection

Easily cancellable

Alternative trains

Comfort Check-In

Cons

Train unpunctuality

The seats on the train are comfortable and if you have a seat with a table, there is enough space to work. The DB staff are always friendly and courteous. The board bistro offers a wide selection of drinks and food. Unfortunately, the train is not always on time and the wifi connection is not always stable.

Pros

Speed

Cons

Volume

I have to travel this route regularly for work and am basically very satisfied with the duration and the comfort that the ICE offers. Unfortunately, it is not always possible to work in peace and quiet, but that depends a lot on the people around. Overall, it is faster and more pleasant than by car.

Pros

nice train

great view

When I got on the train, the timing was good, the people were respectful, the workers did their job, the food was clean, the toilets were clean, every step was full of disinfectant because hygiene is important, I ordered a burger for myself, it was very fresh and tasty, I wish everyone a healthy life.

Pros

Price

Cons

Odour

We set off from Frankfurt in the direction of Stuttgart with a delay of just under half an hour. Fortunately, there was only one stop, which made the journey quite pleasant. It was a pity that the air conditioning failed at times, which was quite unpleasant in the summer temperatures. Otherwise, however, the journey was very nice and we were able to enjoy the scenery. The wifi was good, as was the hygiene.

Pros

Good wifi

Favourable

Easy booking

Cons

Slight delay

Dirty toilets

What I really liked about this train journey with Deutsche Bahn from Frankfurt to Stuttgart was that I reached my destination in the shortest possible time. Another positive aspect is the free wifi, which allowed me to watch videos. Other points are the easy online booking and that I didn't have to change trains. One negative point was the slight delay of the train. Another point I didn't like was the dirty toilets.

Pros

Simple booking

Cheap

Cons

Uncomfortable seats

I really liked the journey because the ticket was easy to book and it was cheap. Another thing I liked was that I didn't have to change trains and my destination was reached in no time at all. I also liked the cleanliness of the train and the well-functioning wifi. However, I didn't like the fact that the seats were quite uncomfortable.

Pros

Very quiet

Clean

Cons

Wifi was not so good

I travelled for almost two hours on the ICE 693, which was very tidy and I didn't want for anything. The journey was very pleasantly quiet, even at the beginning when everyone had to sit down. The wifi wasn't strong enough for me to watch a film or series, but I was still able to work well with it. I thought it was great that it didn't shake so much, so I was able to concentrate fully on my work. As I said, it was also super clean in my compartment

Pros

No delay

Fast wifi

Cons

Mediocre hygiene

The toilets and the whole ICE were a bit dirty, not that it was bad, there was just a bit of wet soil on the floor from the passengers' shoes. In my opinion, the train number was ICE 573 and the journey took about an hour and a half. And I didn't have to change trains.

Pros

Best alternative to driving a car

Cons

Everything very dirty

I normally travel by car, but as it's currently in the workshop, I had to take the ICE 593 to Stuttgart. The hygiene was a disaster. My seat was wet and the floor was dirty. Nevertheless, the price makes it the best alternative to travelling by car. Incidentally, the journey took 1 hour and 20 minutes and I didn't have to change trains.

Pros

No delay

Good service

Cons

Expensive price

My journey to Stuttgart went smoothly, no delays and good service. The train number was 577 and I happily sat at the window. After 1 hour and 30 minutes I arrived without having to change trains. Unfortunately the price was a bit expensive for the short journey. The toilets were nice and clean. When a wheelchair user boarded, nice staff came to help immediately.
