I have to be honest, the journey was disappointing. The train was significantly late, which was really inconvenient for me as I had an appointment afterwards. The noise in the carriage was exhausting, children, loud conversations and no consideration from other passengers. The wifi didn't work, although it was indicated. I expected more for the price. The only bright spot was the scenic route, which I really enjoyed. Nevertheless, if I could find an alternative, I would avoid this connection in future.
Advantages

IconClean
IconConfortable
Disadvantages
IconDelayed
I traveled from Girona to Barcelona and the trip was very good. I took the AVE train it only took 38 minutes from Girona to Barcelona! The speed of this train is definitely the best positive point. Also, the train was very new and clean. You have a seat reservation included with the price of the ticket. The price for the ticket was very fair. It was delayed 5 minutes but finally it arrived on time to Barcelona. I really recommend this trip.
Advantages
IconClean toilets
Disadvantages
IconRubbish on the benches.
One advantage was definitely that the toilets were mostly very hygienic. One disadvantage, however, was that there was a lot of rubbish and other waste on the benches. Apart from that, I have to report that the train was on time and that there was good wifi. The price-performance ratio was also very good, which is why I can only recommend the train connection. I give it four stars with a heavy heart.
Advantages
IconPunctual
Disadvantages
IconNot particularly clean.
I associate the journey mainly with positive aspects. The train was very punctual. It was also very pleasant as the temperature was reasonable. There was also good wifi and sufficient comfort. Unfortunately, the sanitary facilities were not quite as clean as usual, but that wasn't too bad. In conclusion, I would give the journey four stars and recommend it to others.
Advantages
IconNo delays
IconFriendly and helpful staff
IconGood price, especially for students
Disadvantages
IconThere were no WCs
IconLots of noise from passengers
I boarded the AVL 6302 in Girona at 5.46am and arrived in Barcelona 40 minutes later, at 6.25am, without changing trains. The comfort was not so good, it was early in the morning, but the passengers were already very noisy. There were also no toilets on this train. The staff were very helpful and nice. There were also no delays, which was very important for me as a student. Speaking of students, the price was also very fair, especially for students who don't want to spend a lot of money. The train was also clean.
Advantages
IconFree wifi was available
IconYou don't have to book
Disadvantages
IconNot hygienic
IconThere were no toilets.
Normally I always make a reservation, but on this journey I hadn't done so and it was worth it. I didn't have to change trains and travelled from Girona to Barcelona on the AVL 6309 in just over 40 minutes. There was free wifi. The comfort was ok. However, I have to criticise the cleanliness, as the whole train wasn't really clean. There were also no toilets. The service, on the other hand, was friendly.
Advantages
IconFavourable travel
Disadvantages
IconNoises
The train with train number 3163 departed late from Girona to Barcelona on 27 February at 19:25. The journey was without changing trains. The comfort offered was comfortable seats, food, wifi and power sockets, which made it possible to work on the train. The journey took around an hour and a half. The train staff were extremely nice and helped me board the train with my luggage. The train was completely clean as were the toilets.
Advantages
IconSockets
Disadvantages
IconFull train
The train had the number 34113, which travelled from Girona to Barcelona on 06/11. The journey was possible without changing trains. The toilets were really exceptionally clean and hygienic, as was the rest of the train. Staff on the train were extremely polite and helped me get off with my luggage. I would recommend the service to anyone as it was really smooth for me, which is not normal when travelling by train
Advantages

IconPunctuality
Disadvantages
IconPersonnel
Apart from one small thing, everything was fine. Only the staff looked rather unfriendly. They pulled a very serious and almost angry face, although there was no reason for it. I had only been waiting on the platform for about 4 minutes when my train arrived. It was very clean. I probably caught the first journey after a cleaning. I was able to talk to my wife on the phone as the network was excellent. That's why I can give the journey 5 stars. The staff is not a reason for me to give a bad rating.
Advantages
IconSuper train
IconModern equipment
IconMany seats
Disadvantages
IconTicket machine was broken
IconStaff cannot speak English
IconToilet was defective
My journey from Girona to Barcelona started at 10:15 and I had booked my ticket online. The seat reservation was not necessary and I boarded the Rodalies train R11 in comfort. The train was well filled, but I found a free seat. The journey took about an hour and a half and the seats were plain but comfortable enough for the short journey. The train was clean and the relaxed atmosphere made the journey pleasant all the way to Barcelona-Sants.
Advantages
IconVery favourable
IconGoes fast
IconPunctual
Disadvantages
IconToilets not clean
IconNo fixed seat
IconOvercrowded
The train from Girona to Barcelona (train number AVE 3081), was direct and cheap, but there were some problems. The journey took about 1 hour and 20 minutes, but the train was overcrowded so I couldn't find a seat, which made the journey quite uncomfortable. In addition, the toilets were unhygienic, which worsened the overall impression. On the plus side, the train was on time and fast, but overall more comfort would have been desirable.
Advantages
IconPunctuality
IconHygienic
Disadvantages
IconThere are none.
I attach great importance to punctuality and this was also fulfilled with this connection. The train was on time to within 3 minutes, which is definitely within the tolerance range for me. The train itself was very clean and my personal seat was very comfortable. I am also satisfied with the service. The staff were very nice and the price was fair. The train journey took about 50 minutes.

Wow, what a great journey from Girona to Barcelona! The Ic 39 train was just great. It left on time like a bricklayer, and after exactly 39 minutes we were already at our destination, directly and without detours. The train itself was a real gem. Everything was spotlessly clean, the seats were super comfortable and there was enough room for my long legs. The air conditioning worked perfectly, so I stayed pleasantly cool throughout the journey. What really blew me away was the speed. Boy, did we step on the gas! No wonder we got to Barcelona so quickly. Nevertheless, the journey felt super smooth. The staff on board were really nice and courteous. And the best thing: the wifi worked perfectly. I was able to surf the whole time and didn't even notice the journey. Oh yes, and the view! The Catalan landscape is simply a dream. I looked out of the window the whole time and couldn't get enough of it.

My experience with the AVE INT #9730 from Girona to Barcelona was impressive! The short journey time of just 39 minutes makes the connection an attractive option for commuters and tourists alike. The train departed on time and also arrived at its destination on time, making for a pleasant journey. The speed of the AVE was remarkable, as you could almost physically feel the speed of the train as it travelled, but without feeling unsafe. There was nothing to complain about in terms of seating comfort and legroom. The adjustable backrests, which for some travellers may be the epitome of luxury on the train, also contributed to this. The interior of the train itself was modern and clean, which ultimately contributed not only to the comfort but also to the atmosphere of the Totalspektrum, which is important for travellers. The wifi worked promptly, making the most of the journey time. In addition, the air conditioning ensured pleasant temperatures in the coach and cabin, not too hot and not too cold. Although the journey only took 39 minutes, there was plenty of opportunity to have a snack or a drink. The staff were always friendly and efficient. The journey took us through some lovely Catalan countryside, where the large, clean windows allowed us to enjoy the view outside. All in all, the train was a prime example of contemporary travelling, perfectly combining speed, comfort and service. The AVE INT #9730 from Girona to Barcelona is therefore an excellent choice for travellers on this route. My recommendation of this connection is unconditional and I am already looking forward to the next time!

I didn't have to change trains and travelled on train number 4825. The journey took just under 40 minutes. The train was on time except for 4 minutes and both the station and the train were kept very clean. I had a large seat, which was very comfortable. The staff were friendly.

Overall, the train journey with the number 5723 was fine, but unfortunately the sanitary facilities were not so clean. Despite the fact that the toilets were not in perfect condition, it was still nice that the journey only took 40 minutes. Otherwise, the train arrived on time and had enough space for a short journey. The journey itself was pleasant, but the cleanliness of the sanitary facilities should definitely be improved. The wifi was stable and I had a power socket but no bistro.
