Pros

Equipment

Service

Punctuality

Cons

Cleanliness

My train ticket from Hamburg to Munich was really great! The wifi facilities made the journey pleasant and I was even able to watch a film. The service on the train was really polite and courteous. The punctuality was also great. But the only downside was the cleanliness, there was no toilet paper. Nevertheless, if the facilities, friendly service and punctuality are important to you, and you can overlook minor shortcomings in cleanliness, this train ticket is definitely recommended. I had a pleasant journey.

Pros

Reliable and fast

Cons

Everything went well

The train connection was very punctual. The train arrived exactly at the scheduled departure time and even reached its destination a few minutes earlier than expected. The price of the train ticket was reasonable and fair. However, there is room for a slight price reduction. The overall cleanliness of the train was very satisfactory. The seats and floors were well cleaned and litter bins were emptied regularly. The toilets on the train were clean and well maintained. There was sufficient toilet paper and soap. The only drawback was that the toilet was sometimes overcrowded during peak times. The seats were comfortable and offered enough space for the passengers. The backrests were adjustable and there was enough legroom. Overall, the train journey was a positive experience. With some small areas for improvement.

Pros

Relaxed

Cons

WIFI

The train journey to Hamburg is pretty good. I was able to reserve seats in the rest area beforehand, which is very important to me. The seats were relatively comfortable, but over such a long distance your back does ache at some point. Unfortunately, the toilets on the train weren't exactly clean, but you could still go. Another advantage was that I didn't have to change trains. A very good alternative to the car.

Pros

Peace and quiet

Fast

Comfortable

Cons

None

As my car was in the garage, I travelled to Hamburg by train. I actually wanted to take the plane, but I thought I'd try the train on the long haul and was pleasantly surprised. The train was on time and it was even quicker than flying. The seats were definitely more comfortable than those on the plane and there was also wifi. It was also cheaper than a flight

Pros

Personnel

Cons

None

I am really thrilled. On the whole, the journey was very pleasant. What's more, the staff were very wifi friendly and the wifi reception was excellent. Another positive aspect is that the hygiene on the train was fantastic and the sanitary facilities were clean. All in all, I see the journey as a thoroughly positive experience. The price was reasonable in my opinion. The journey took just under 6 hours in total and I had to change trains once.

Pros

Hygiene

Cons

None

The return journey was a very positive experience, just like the outward journey. I was delighted with the cleanliness and excellent hygiene on the train. The staff were also very friendly and I really enjoyed the journey. The price-performance ratio is very good. It was well worth the money. As the wifi and mobile phone reception were also fast, I can recommend the train connection.

Pros

Fast arrival

Good wifi

Cons

Dirty

What I like about this product is that I was able to buy the ticket very easily and it was good value for money. I also liked the free wifi, which I was able to use throughout the journey and which worked well. This allowed me to work during the journey. However, I didn't like the fact that the toilets were very dirty. The train arrived and departed on time.

Pros

No delay of the train

Cons

Uncomfortable seating area

In my opinion, this product is great because you reach your destination in a very short time, the price-performance ratio was also okay and the toilets were clean for once. However, the seats were very uncomfortable and I had back pain. I also liked the fact that the train was not late and arrived on time. The staff were also very friendly.

Pros

Comfortable

Relaxed

Punctual

Cons

Air quality

Was in Hamburg on business. Took an ICE for the outward and return journey. Apart from the WC facilities, everything was satisfactory. The air was a bit stuffy, but it was fine. In any case, more comfortable than travelling 8 hours by car. Next time the ICE again.

Pros

Personnel

Cleanliness

Cons

Punctuality

The return journey from Hamburg to Munich on the ICE was very relaxed and quiet. The staff were also very friendly and courteous. There was nothing to complain about in terms of cleanliness on the train. Travelling by train is my favourite option, as my time is very short and I can work or sleep during the journey. The train left 15 minutes late. Nevertheless, I can recommend travelling by ICE!

Pros

Nice service

Cons

Long journey

Price too high

The service was super nice to me and the on-board bistro was even open. This was also necessary for me, as the 6.5 hours I travelled on the ICE 783 were also very long by my standards. The price was almost normal, but a little too expensive for me. Otherwise everything was fine

Pros

The employees

Cons

wifi

Cleanliness of the toilets

I was in a bit of a hurry as I had already seen the train pull in, I had already bought my ticket, showed it and it was accepted. I sat down and took off my jacket. Then I wanted to go to the loo, the toilet wasn't clean and there was no toilet paper, the wifi wasn't working, I thought this train journey was very, very bad. The only good thing about this train journey was the staff, they were very nice, the price was reasonable, so I give it two out of five stars because of the wifi and the toilets.

Pros

Cleanliness

Price

Cons

Punctuality

I travelled from Hamburg to Munich by train. I was initially impressed by the punctuality of the train. Once I arrived on the train, I found a clean and well-maintained train and seating area. The sanitary facilities were also in a clean condition. The staff were polite and helpful. During the journey, the train was unfortunately 20 minutes late, but this is still within reason. Positive recommendation
