PunctualityStaffHygieneA few months ago, I took a train journey from Hof to Leipzig with Deutsche Bahn. The journey was pretty good. The volume on the train was regulated and optimal. The wifi connection on the train was excellent. My mobile connected very well to the wifi and it was very efficient and fast. The price was also very fair for the train journey. Unfortunately, the train did not arrive in Leipzig on time. The staff were also not very friendly and sometimes shouted at their customers and were very strict. However, hygiene was not taken into account either. The toilets were not clean and neither were the seats. All in all, however, a good trip.
Advantages
Good equipmentComfortable seatsCleanlinessClose but successful changeoverDisadvantages
Unfriendly staffOn the journey from Hof to Leipzig, I had to change trains once in Chemnitz Hbf. Although the changeover time was very short, I reached my connecting train without any problems. On the train, however, the ticket inspector was unfriendly. She did not greet me and gave me an annoyed impression during the ticket check. The train itself, however, offered everything one needed in terms of facilities. It was also clean and the seats were comfortable. Apart from the staff, the journey was a very relaxed and pleasant one.

VolumeNeed to changeHygieneA few months ago, I travelled from Hof to Leipzig. Firstly, it's worth mentioning the price, because it was very fair. The train arrived on time and the staff always had a big smile on their faces. Unfortunately, the volume on the train was not appropriate. Unfortunately, there were several transfers which made the journey more difficult. Disappointingly, no consideration was given to hygiene. The toilets and seats were not clean. Overall, a satisfactory journey.

little legroomThe train from Hof to Leipzig had not been very full. The noise level was also normal. The seats on the train were comfortable, but I would have liked a bit more legroom. There were also enough power sockets and a stable internet connection. The staff here were very friendly and carried out a quick ticket check. I found the cleanliness/hygiene on the train and in the toilets acceptable. There was also a snack vending machine on the train. Overall, the train was hardly delayed and I didn't have to change trains. To summarise, a really good journey!

HygienePunctualityVolumeOverall, I enjoyed the journey from Hof to Leipzig. A big plus point was the price, which was very affordable compared to other connections. The staff were friendly and helpful, which made the journey much better. The wifi was stable and allowed me to be productive during the journey. Unfortunately, there were also some negative points. No real attention was paid to hygiene, as the toilets and seats were not clean and tidy. The punctuality of the train journey was also not ideal, which led to some inconvenience. The noise level on the train was sometimes annoying, especially when it was full.
Overall, however, it was a great travelling experience!
