Pros

The compartment was very clean

Cons

Unfortunately delayed

We travelled as a couple and had no problems choosing a seat thanks to a seat reservation. The only annoyance was that the train was delayed, which slightly affected the rest of our journey. However, the cleanliness both in the compartment and in the toilet facilities should be emphasised. The price for 2 people was ok.

None

This was a very great ride and I didn't notice anything negative about it. I recommend this ride and am very happy to rate it 5 stars. I waited at the station and my train arrived on time. Then I got on and sat down. The seats were comfortable and I was able to charge my mobile phone with the help of a power socket at the seat. The train was very clean, the toilets were also clean and hygiene was taken care of. The service was great as my food was delivered very quickly and was also very tasty. I also had access to very good wifi. A wonderful trip.

Pros

Reliability

Cons

Punctuality

Because of my job, I have been travelling regularly to Hanover for more than half a year. The trains are more punctual than on other routes that I have to travel more often, but there are also frequent delays and sometimes cancellations or spontaneous track changes that are only announced shortly beforehand.

In the train on the journey, the volume was also pleasant, so you could sleep and I also had a good sleep. There were good food options at the on-board bistro.

When I got in, I wanted to go straight to sleep. But before that, I threw away all my rubbish, charged my mobile phone and connected it to the wifi. The seats were comfortable and the low volume meant I could sleep peacefully. The service was very friendly, but unfortunately there were no reservation options, but there were still plenty of seats and I could sleep in peace. When I went to the toilet, I saw that everything was very hygienic. The train arrived on time and the price-performance ratio was very good.

Inside it looked clean, I sat down and quickly noticed how great the view was from the window, the atmosphere was also great, so I ordered a little later, I ordered something for myself, it was very fresh and came quickly. The train also looked very nice and arrived on time. In my opinion everything was included and I really enjoyed the ride. I thank you for this great ride.

Pros

WIFI

Friendly staff

Cons

Dirty WC

Missing announcements

Little legroom

The wifi worked well during the journey and the sockets were also faultless. The seats were comfortable, but there was little legroom. For shorter journeys like this one, that's not too bad. The staff were friendly. Unfortunately, information was occasionally missing from the announcements, which led to confusion. Furthermore, the toilet was dirty, but there were alternative facilities.

Pros

Utilisation

Personnel

Cleanliness

Duration

Cons

Internet

I can warmly recommend the journey with Deutsche Bahn from Hanover main station to Hamburg. Whether for commuters, day trips or the journey to the airport, the capacity utilisation was pleasantly low, the staff were very friendly and courteous and the journey went by in a flash. There is hardly anything to complain about, apart from the inadequate internet connection and irregular intervals. Apart from that, I would gladly return.
