The journey was very relaxing, especially because of the occupancy. I was almost alone in the carriage and thus had a lot of peace and quiet. The seats were also comfortable. What bothered me was the loud air conditioning, which was also set very cold. The staff came across as very friendly and wished me a pleasant journey. Otherwise, the train arrived at its destination on time.

I took the train from Gütersloh to Bielefeld. I travel a lot for work with Deutsche Bahn, really all over Germany. However, on this connection I have to say that I was not impressed at all. The train didn't arrive on time and was almost an hour late. Once inside, I noticed a not so pleasant smell. Some of the toilets were defective. The rest of the train journey was also repeatedly delayed by faults.

Unfortunately, I don't remember the train route from Gütersloh to Bielefeld very well. We all know that Deutsche Bahn often has to deal with cancellations and delays, but the fact that it took me almost three hours to cover a distance that normally takes 10 minutes is something I remember very negatively. Unfortunately, I also missed all my connections and arrived in Bielefeld in the middle of the night. Fortunately, the ticket was not that expensive. The train I was finally able to take was very clean. There was nothing to complain about there.

For my business trip, I used the route from Gütersloh to Bielefeld. The journey takes only 10 minutes by ICE. Even if the train is not on time, the next one arrives fairly quickly. The price of the ticket is quite reasonable and the journey is very fast. Everything on the train was nice and clean and the seats were not dirty. It's a great connection that I like to use often.

The connection from Gütersloh to Bielefeld had gone very well. The train arrived on time. There was no need to change trains as the train ran through. Booking the ticket was smooth. The facilities on the train were average, unfortunately there was no wifi or electricity on the train. The toilet was ok, unfortunately there was nothing to dry your hands. What I noticed negatively was that the floor was full of sand, which was unpleasant, and that's why I'm only giving four stars. Otherwise, I quickly reached my destination.

It was a very pleasant journey from Gütersloh to Bielefeld, which didn't take as long as I thought it would. There was wifi on board and also a power socket, the seats were very comfortable and clean. Unfortunately, it was a bit too noisy on the train, so I had to use my headphones. The toilet was very clean and there was plenty of disinfectant and soap as well as paper towels. All in all, a very relaxed and pleasant journey, with all the trimmings. The staff were also very friendly. My recommendation.

I was recently on a train journey from Gütersloh to Bielefeld and can say that the journey was satisfactory overall. The train was on time and I had enough space to sit comfortably. The journey went smoothly and I arrived at my destination without any delays. Unfortunately, however, I have to say that the price of the journey was not that cheap. I found it was higher than expected. Nevertheless, I think that the train is a comfortable and reliable way to travel from A to B. If you need a reliable journey without many disruptions, I can recommend a train journey. However, be prepared to pay a higher price than expected.
