ReviewsReviews for the rail journey from Fulda to Kassel
The customer opinion was acquired via Cimenio. Cimenio incentivises its users for giving an honest opinion and proving the booking with a photo of the travel ticket.
Advantages
Favourable ticketPunctualDisadvantages
Stuffy air in the trainThe train is oldThe price for the train ticket was good, but I think the train is relatively old. The air in the train was insufficient and it was very stuffy as the ventilation in the train did not work. The seats have little room for movement and when it is full it could be uncomfortable. My journey was not fully booked and fortunately it was not full. And there was no delay, departure and arrival were on time.
Advantages
Cheap ticketSafe journeyPunctual journeyDisadvantages
NoneI am very happy with my journey to Kassel and can only recommend it. The ticket is very cheap and cheaper than other means of travel, even if you book spontaneously. The train is visibly older, but well cleaned and tidy. The seats are a bit cramped and it is advisable to reserve the next seat when booking to ensure there is enough space. The journey was quiet and there were no disruptions or delays. Everything was great and recommendable. We would be happy to travel again.
Advantages
Seating comfort and equipment in orderVery good cleanliness on the train and in the toiletsAcceptable volumeno delay, no changeDisadvantages
No staffNo luggage rackThe train from Fulda to Kassel wasn't too full, so the noise level on the train was acceptable. The furnishings had also been perfect here and the seating comfort was relatively good. Unfortunately, there was no luggage rack, so I had to put my bags in the foot area, which restricted my legroom. The train had not been delayed and I did not have to change trains. I also found the cleanliness on the train and in the toilets very good. Unfortunately, there was no staff here, so there was no ticket inspection. Otherwise, everything else was fine.
