Advantages
clean toiletsCleanlinessHygieneThat was a great ride. I went through the door and sat down. The seat was very clean and so were the floors. Then I went to the toilet as needed. It was very hygienic and there was no shortage of soap. There was no pile of rubbish or anything like that. Everything was perfect, clean. Everything was running on time.
Advantages
The train was cleanTrain staff friendlyDisadvantages
Train with slight delayThe train was full and poorly air-conditionedA few days ago, we travelled with 3 people by Deutsche Bahn from Nuremberg to Hamburg. The seats were large enough and the train was very clean, as were the toilets. Unfortunately, the train was very full and we had problems stowing our luggage. In addition, the train was only moderately air-conditioned. This made the journey a bit exhausting. The staff was friendly throughout. We finally arrived at our destination with a slight delay.
Advantages
Comfortable seatNice seat neighboursDisadvantages
Slight delayThe journey from Nuremberg to Hamburg central station is highly recommended despite the long journey time. The seats are very comfortable and there is plenty of legroom. I also had a very nice seatmate with whom I could have a nice chat - this made the journey go by much faster. The staff on the train were also very friendly and helpful. There was also enough space for luggage. Highly recommended.
Advantages
Fast connectionGood equipmentDisadvantages
Slight delayThe train journey from Nuremberg main station to Hamburg was an absolute highlight! The modern train equipment ensured a high level of comfort during the journey. The friendly and attentive service was impressive. The train was also spotlessly clean. The price-performance ratio was excellent. This trip was definitely worth every penny. I can only recommend it. Especially the nice service really made up for the slight delay.
Advantages
Nice staffDelicious foodPunctualityCleanlinessIt was a great ride. My train arrived on time. I got on and immediately noticed how clean it was on the train. Then later when I used the toilets I also noticed how clean they were, it was generally very clean throughout the train. The staff were very friendly and there was a lot of choice of delicious food. It was very quiet on the train, so quiet that you could even fall asleep. The seats were also very comfortable and you have access to good wifi and you had several sockets at your seat. This trip is highly recommended, so I recommend it.
