The train journey from Kassel to Frankfurt am Main was one of the best I have experienced so far. The train arrived very punctually and there were no problems with the seats I had reserved. The wifi worked perfectly and the staff were very accommodating. In the toilet I was also surprised how clean a train toilet could be and the punctual arrival in Frankfurt made the journey perfect and the price more than justified.

The train journey from Kassel to Frankfurt offers numerous advantages: The presence of wifi makes for a productive journey. The cleanliness on the train is exemplary and the pleasant volume makes for a relaxed atmosphere. The staff is friendly and helpful. However, the train was unfortunately late, which affected the schedule. The lack of individual rubbish bins was also a shortcoming. Despite minor inconveniences, the train journey from Kassel to Frankfurt offers a comfortable and pleasant travel experience overall.

Pros

Clean toilet

Nice conductor

Cons

Arrived 30 min late

A little too warm in the train

Train was overcrowded

It was actually a very nice train ride, but the train arrived too late, it was a very stuffy air in the train and also very crowded, which is perhaps why the air there was not so good. Nevertheless, we had free wifi and enough sockets. The toilet was also very clean, which surprised me a lot, and the seats were also very comfortable. In addition, the conductor was very nice and the train was generally very clean.

Pros

The train was clean

Cons

Nothing negative

I took the ICE from Kassel to Frankfurt airport. It was a very relaxed and quick journey. The staff were also very friendly. The train was also very clean and the seats very comfortable. The train also arrived on time, as planned.

Pros

Fast travel

Cons

None

I travelled with the ICE 77 second class from Hamburg to Freiburg, the route from Kassel to Frankfurt am Main being part of it. The train was very clean and well maintained. It was not delayed. The on-board bistro was open and the selection was plentiful. The train was not particularly busy, so everyone had a seat. The staff were friendly. Overall, I can't say anything negative about the trip and therefore highly recommend it.

Pros

good wifi

kind staff

This trip is highly recommended and gets a very deserved 5 stars as everything went according to plan and my train arrived on time. The food was very fresh and had a super delicious taste. The wifi was very good all the time. The whole train was very clean and so were the toilets. The staff was very nice and I had power sockets at my comfortable seat. Great ride and nice train.

Pros

very favourable

courteous staff

I took this ride because I flew from Frankfurt airport and the ride was great. The incredible thing is the price, it only cost €17.90, which is amazing. The staff were very polite and especially polite to the older ones. There were lockers at every single seat. The seats were very comfortable and there were also tables where you could eat or put something down. I always knew where I was at the moment because it was on a table. The price alone is a reason to recommend the ride. Great ride and also punctual, as the train arrived on time.

Pros

Punctuality

Cleanliness

Cons

None

The train journey from Kassel to Frankfurt was positive throughout. The train left Kassel on time and arrived in Frankfurt without any delays. There was also a bistro where you could get a varied selection of food and drinks. It was clean on board, which also applied to the toilets. The train was comfortably equipped, with extremely comfortable seats. The service was also good, as the staff were friendly and polite.

Pros

No delay

Air conditioning

Cons

Dirty windows

I travelled from Kassel to Frankfurt on the Regionalexpress 30. It was a relaxed journey because the train was not full and I got a seat. The cleanliness of the train left something to be desired. The windows in particular were quite dirty. On the plus side, the train was not delayed. The air conditioning also ensured a pleasant temperature. All in all, an unobtrusive and practical connection that I can recommend.

Pros

Service

Cons

Long journey duration

No wifi

The train journey from Kassel to Frankfurt on the Regionalexpress 30 was pleasant. The train departed on time and arrived in Frankfurt on time. The staff were friendly and the carriages were extremely clean. There were beautiful views of the countryside, which I particularly enjoyed. Unfortunately, the Regionalexpress did not have wifi, which would have been useful considering the relatively long journey.
