I wanted to travel from Augsburg to Berlin and as this was not possible directly due to a road works, I had to travel via Göttingen. In Göttingen, I had 8 minutes to change trains myself, which was perfectly sufficient for me. I reached my train from Göttingen to Berlin on time and it also left Göttingen on time. The train was quite full, but luckily I had booked a seat before departure. Otherwise, the train was very well cleaned and I felt very comfortable on the train itself.

The train from Göttingen to Berlin was a pleasant journey for such an early hour. The train arrived on time. The journey was also fast. You were constantly informed about connecting trains during the journey, which helped with transfer options or connecting trains. Unfortunately, the toilets were not clean and some products were no longer available for purchase in the restaurant. Nevertheless, the railway staff were very nice and the journey was very comfortable.

After a successful change in Göttingen from the ICE874 to the ICE372, we travelled on to Berlin Central Station. And for a really great price, plus the internet worked really well, which is what you want. The general cleanliness at the seat and in the toilets was also adequate. Only the occupancy rate was a little high, so the noise level was a little higher than normal, but everything was still within reason.
