Pro

WIFI

Punctuality

Contra

Little choice at the bistro

The train journey from Hanover to Cologne with IC 2044 was nothing special. The train was average, the seats comfortable enough, but nothing extraordinary. The journey was on time. The on-board catering was standard. There was not too much choice. The staff on board were friendly and polite. The wifi worked throughout. It was basically a normal train journey with no particular highlights or disappointments.

Pro

Good wifi

Enough seats

Contra

Unpunctual

I travelled from Hanover to Cologne with the ICE 2044 in second class. I found the price very good. Unfortunately, the train was 15 minutes late. The train itself was clean, as were the toilets. I did not reserve a seat, but there were still plenty of seats available on the train. I had very good wifi the whole way.

Pro

Comfort

Punctuality

Board bistro

Contra

None

Overall, my train journey from Hanover to Cologne was extremely satisfying. Comfortable seats, friendly staff and a smooth ticket purchase process made the journey a pleasant experience. The announcements were clearly understandable and informed about the next stops and possible delays. The train left Hanover on time and arrived in Cologne on time. There was a bistro where you could buy coffee and snacks.

Pro

On time

Comfortable

Contra

Unclean toilets

The train journey with IC 2044 from Hanover to Cologne was a pleasant experience overall. The train appeared modern and well maintained. Departure was on time, which was very pleasing. The seats were comfortable and offered sufficient legroom. They were also clean. The journey was mostly quiet and without any major jolts. Only on some sections of the route were there slight vibrations. However, the cleanliness of the toilets blew, which was a clear minus point.

Pro

Short travel time

Board bistro

Punctuality

Contra

Unhygienic toilets

I took the ICE 2044 from Hanover to Cologne. It was a trip in second class. In itself, the trip was very pleasant, the travel time was just under 3 hours. The service on board was also good, there was an on-board bistro where coffee and snacks could be purchased. There were no delays to my recollection. The train was clean inside, but that did not apply to the toilets. These were quite dirty.

Pro

Good price

Good train

Easy to use

Contra

None

We are going on a family vacation, like every year. The train is very good, we always take it, because our relatives live in Cologne. The train is very hygienic and you get free wifi. You can also charge your cell phone or laptop. There is also a first-raunt on the train, which is very cool. I can only recommend it. My family loves it too. The bathroom is very clean and is cleaned very often during the trip. You can even ring the bell if you want it cleaned. We don't have to do a ticket check which is also very good. The price is very good for so many people.

Pro

WiFi

Board bistro

Direct connection

Contra

Socket had a loose contact

From Hanover to Cologne. Today I went from Hanover to Cologne, with the ICE to look at the Cologne Cathedral. The Intercity Express was on time and there were enough free seats. At the seat I had a socket (this had a loose contact)to charge my cell phone and WiFi to go online. Toilets were available and worked properly. The staff was nice and friendly. The ticket booking I did via the Deutsche Bahn app, there I could have also reserved seats. I bought candy bars in the dining car. The train was clean, air-conditioned and only slightly busy. It was a relaxed and nice ride.

Pro

Board bistro

Neat train

WiFi

Contra

Unpunctual

I traveled from Hanover to Cologne on the IC 2044. The trip was in second class. Fortunately, there was a bistro on board, where coffee and snacks sold. It was early, after all. The train itself was extremely well maintained and well equipped. There were power outlets and free wifi on board. Unfortunately, the train arrived unpunctual in Hannover and accordingly with a delay in Cologne again. Anticipating this, it was a pleasant ride.

Pro

No delay

Fast connection

Contra

Unclean

I took the ICE 2044 from Hanover to Cologne. The trip was in second class and I did not reserve a seat. However, there were also plenty of seats, so I did not have to stand. On a positive note, the train had no delays whatsoever throughout the entire trip. Likewise, I found good that the journey time is relatively short, you can talk about the fast connection. However, I must criticize that the train was not really clean. Here one can still improve.
