The customer opinion was acquired via Cimenio. Cimenio incentivises its users for giving an honest opinion and proving the booking with a photo of the travel ticket.

Pros

Cleanliness

Service

Cons

Stressful changeover

The train journey from Mainz to Munich with a change in Frankfurt was a mixed experience. The punctuality was commendable and the connection options were varied. The first train was comfortable and clean. Unfortunately, the changeover times in Frankfurt were tight, which caused stress. The second train was also clean and the seats were comfortable. There were no complaints about the service. All in all, a good connection.

Pros

Good service

Clean train

Cons

Air conditioning set too high

The journey from Mainz to Munich included a change of trains in Frankfurt and was extremely pleasant. The trains were not particularly busy and so I got a seat despite not having a reservation. It was very clean and tidy on board, although the air conditioning was a little too cold for my liking. Despite this, the service on board was excellent, as all the staff were friendly and helpful.

Pros

Uncomplicated changeover

No delays

Comfort

Cons

No service-orientated employees

I travelled from Mainz to Munich and had to change trains once in Frankfurt. Changing trains was straightforward, as everything was well signposted. The trains were not delayed, so I arrived in Munich on time. It was also very comfortable on board, especially thanks to the comfortable and ergonomic seats and the air conditioning. Points are deducted for the service on this day, as the staff didn't really take time for the passengers.

Pros

Fast connection

Convenient and stress-free

Cons

Punctuality

You can't get from Mainz to Munich in just 4 hours by car. The train has a clear advantage here, both in terms of the speed of the connection and the comfort. You can relax and work during the journey and stretch your legs in the corridor in between. The only thing that could be better is punctuality, as the train is usually at least a few minutes late. You should also not expect too much from the cleanliness of the sanitary facilities, as the toilets are often no longer in the best condition shortly after departure.
