Delays may occurFailures may occurThe train journey from Fulda to Hamburg was one of the most impressive train journeys of my many. Everything went smoothly: The train arrived on time, so we were able to depart right on time. Moreover, it was very easy to find a seat without a reservation and it was very pleasantly quiet on the train. I found the toilet to be very well maintained and the service left nothing to be desired.
Advantages
Board bistro was openIt was relatively quiet on the trainFamiliar seating comfort and cleanliness in the passenger compartmentDisadvantages
toilets not cleanDelay of 15 minutesFrom Fulda to Hamburg, the train was relatively full, although it had been very quiet on the train. The on-board bistro was also open on this journey, where I could have a hot meal. The seats on the train were comfortable and it had been clean except for the toilets. In the end, the train was delayed by 15 minutes.
Advantages
Uncomplicated fast safeDisadvantages
Dirty floorThis train connection was recommended to me by a friend, so I wanted to rate it here. The train arrived on time and I had no problems finding my way around. Unfortunately, it was a bit too crowded, so I had difficulties finding my seat, the train didn't look so tidy as the floor was covered with sticky stuff. The toilet was neat and tidy, unfortunately there was no staff member present, so my question remained unanswered. Otherwise, I reached my destination quickly and can actually rate this assessment positively.
Advantages
Cheap ticketFast arrivalComfortable seatsDisadvantages
DelayUnreliableThere was working wifi and also power sockets at the seats. The seats were comfortable and the train was not noisy. There was an on-board bistro where you can buy food and drinks. The conductors were very nice, but it is possible to check in your ticket in the DB app. Seat reservations are also possible. The toilets are okay, but unfortunately not so clean most of the time. The price-performance ratio is good.
Advantages

Comes too lateI went to Hamburg in March and I have to say that the trains were late, which sucks, but the staff was really friendly and it was clean too, the price was great and the seats could be more comfortable. The power outlet was great and the wifi was not so good.

PricePunctualityVolumeDear Sir or Madam, I would like to rate my train journey from Fulda to Hamburg. First of all, I would like to mention some positive aspects. These include the friendliness of the staff. They were very friendly and polite to all your passengers. In addition, the wifi was very good. I was able to connect my mobile phone to the internet very quickly. In addition, the seats were very comfortable and smelled good. The toilets were also very clean and hygiene was very important. Unfortunately, I did not arrive in Hamburg on time, which made things difficult for me. The price was also expensive and not ideal for the journey. Unfortunately, the volume in the train was also not optimally regulated. Overall, however, satisfactory.

PriceI recently had the opportunity to travel by train from Fulda to Hamburg. Overall, the journey was pleasant and comfortable, but unfortunately the price was not so good. The train was on time and clean, but the ticket cost much more than expected. The experience on board was average. There was enough space for all passengers, but the seats were not very comfortable and I had to stand throughout the journey. The catering was also rather modest, but there was a good selection of magazines and books. Despite everything, the train journey from Fulda to Hamburg was a pleasant experience, but I think you could expect more for the price. Overall, I would recommend the train as a method of transport, but I might choose a different provider next time to compare the price.
Advantages
On timeComfortableQuickWIFISocketDisadvantages
PriceI recently took a train journey from Fulda to Hamburg and unfortunately I have to say that I was not particularly satisfied. Although the train was comfortable and punctual, the price for the journey was regrettably not that cheap. I found it disappointing that I had to spend so much money for a one-way train journey. The seats were comfortable and there was enough room for my legs, but the air conditioning didn't always work optimally and it got a bit warm in the carriage. The entertainment on board was also not particularly varied. Overall, the train journey was pleasant, but due to the high price for a single ticket, I cannot recommend it without reservation. If you are travelling to Hamburg and are looking for better value for money, you might want to consider another transport option.
Advantages
Very comfortable seatsVery fast free internet accessDisadvantages
Arrived latePartially unhygienic areas in the trainThe train journey from Fulda to Hamburg was a very great ride. The service of the train staff was very nice and insightful. The toilet was clean and there were enough bins. The comfort of the seats was good and there was enough space to relax. The staff were very helpful. However, the train was not on time and was late. The wifi was very fast and from a price point of view it was well worth the trip. I would definitely do this trip again.
Advantages

The product has no weaknessesI enjoyed the journey very much. All the seats were extremely clean and comfortable and the wifi reception was excellent. What I also really liked was that there was a power outlet and the staff was very friendly. Overall, I can recommend the trip.

NoneI really enjoyed the trip. The staff responded openly to questions and were always happy to help me. The network connection was also very good. I noticed positively that the wifi was super stable. Another positive aspect was that the toilets and benches were very clean and hygienic. Overall, the journey was very pleasant for me and I recommend the connection.
Advantages

DelayAt the beginning of the journey, I unfortunately had to realise that my train was delayed by 16 minutes. Despite the unfortunate start, I can report that the train was very hygienic and clean. In terms of comfort, I can say that the seats were very comfortable. An often penalised point was the relaxed atmosphere and pleasant temperature. I recommend the train journey.
