Pros

Operation

Punctuality

Cleanliness

Cons

Equipment of the train

I would highly recommend the train journey because, above all, the train left on time and arrived on time. In addition, there was a waitress on the train who offered food to the passengers. The train was very clean overall. The toilets also looked freshly cleaned. Unfortunately, the train had a lack of facilities, such as no wifi and no fold-out tables.

Pros

On time

Cons

No weaknesses

When I got in, I could first charge my mobile phone and throw away my rubbish. Then I could go to the toilet, and I was surprised how clean it all was. The service was friendly and offered me a drink. There was wifi on the train. I was also able to sleep in peace because of the reasonable volume. There was also no need to change trains and the price-quality ratio was perfect.

Pros

Service

Cons

Equipment

I travelled from Hamburg central station to Copenhagen. The train journey itself was very relaxed. The service was very, very good and the staff were very helpful! Unfortunately, the facilities were not very good, the wifi didn't really work most of the time and the toilets were also not usable due to renovations.

Pros

Price

Staff

Cons

Hygiene

Some time ago I took the ICE from Hamburg main station to Copenhagen. I was pleasantly surprised by the staff, who were all very friendly and helpful... The price was also convincing. However, the hygienic condition in the train could have been a bit better... There were no problems with unpunctuality.

Pros

Hygiene

Sockets

WIFI

Staff

Comfortable

Cons

Delay

This was a very pleasant train journey, although the train was late, the journey was very enjoyable. The staff were very friendly. The toilets, tables and seats were clean and I did not see any visible stains. The power sockets worked without any loose connection and the wifi was available all the time. The seats were also very comfortable, which made the ride that much more enjoyable. I recommend this ride to others.

Pros

Reservation

Cons

Toilets

The train ride was good and I had wifi and a power socket. The seats were very comfortable and the volume was pleasant. I didn't have any food, but the service was very friendly. I could reserve a seat and was given information about the journey beforehand. The toilets were very dirty and it almost made me throw up. I didn't have to change trains and the train was on time. But the price-quality ratio is good.

Pros

Pleasant journey

Cleanliness

Equipment of the train

Punctuality

Cons

Personnel

The journey from Hamburg to Copenhagen was really very pleasant and can be recommended. The train left on time at 7.25am and arrived at around 12.30pm. During the journey I used the toilet, which was very clean and had plenty of toilet paper. The train also had a large compartment for my luggage, which was also very helpful. The only problem, which wasn't dramatic, is that the train staff only appeared twice, so I couldn't ask for help.

Pros

Relaxed

Edible

Enough rest

Cons

Long journey

Not getting as much sleep

I reserved my seat in advance. When the train finally arrived, I was escorted straight to my seat as I boarded. The seats were relaxed and clean, which I really enjoyed. The toilet was also quite clean, which was good because nobody wants to do their business in a dirty toilet. The service was really nice and also asked me questions. It was very quiet and yet I didn't get too much sleep. I didn't have to change trains, which was good. In the end, the journey was fine and only 5 minutes late, but I'm not going to make an issue of that.
