The comfort was also great, comfortable seats and space for the legs. The service on board and the cleanliness also scored points. The only catch: it was a bit more expensive, but honestly, it was worth it. The journey time went by really quickly, thanks to all the comforts. If you're willing to invest a bit more to travel in style, this ticket is definitely the way to go. I would definitely take it again.

Delay

As I was invited to an event in Leipzig, I booked with a ticket where I wanted to travel by ICE so as not to be late due to delays. For the price, I found the ticket quite alright. The facilities were very well designed. The wifi strength was the best and the sockets by the seats also worked well. There were a few stressful discussions about the seats because something was mixed up. The service was great! The staff was super friendly and helped with every question. I was not surprised by the hygiene, because the hygiene of the ICE has always been clean. The journey time was very quick and we arrived at our destination on time. Travelling with ICE for this low price is highly recommended!
