Pros

Quiet ride

Good service

Cons

Longer waiting times

The journey back from Munich to Hamburg by Deutsche Bahn went relatively smoothly except for minor delays. In 1st class, it was very quiet overall. There was also more legroom than is usual in second class. So it was worth it for the long journey. The journey took an estimated 7 hours.

Pros

It was comfortable

Cons

The toilets were very full

I travelled by ICE from Munich main station to Hamburg main station on 24.7.2023. It took 6.5 hours. Unfortunately, the wifi didn't work very well. Unfortunately, the whole trip was very expensive (€87.60). I hadn't reserved a seat, but there were still plenty of free seats.

Pros

Train equipment

Cons

Expensive

The train ride from Munich to Hamburg was overall pleasant and comfortable, the train offered enough seats and the interior was clean and well maintained. A plus point was the free wifi on board. The train staff were friendly and the service was satisfactory. There were regular announcements about the next stops and possible delays, which made it easier to plan the journey. The travel time from Munich to Hamburg was reasonable. However, changes were necessary, which made the journey more uncomfortable. I found the price performance to be fair.

Pros

Comfortable ride, despite the long distance

Well-equipped on-board bistro

Nice staff

Cons

Slight delay

My husband and I celebrated the turn of the year in Munich. Because of the bad weather, we decided at short notice to take the train instead of the car for this long distance - a very good decision! The train journey was very pleasant and both the outward and return journeys were quick and without complications, except for a slightly delayed departure in Munich, which didn't bother us at all.

Pros

Good comfort

Good equipment

Cons

Slight delay

The train journey from Munich to Hamburg was very pleasant. We had a really nice seat in one of the newest trains. It was practical that every seat had a power socket and that there were lots of luggage racks. So you didn't always have to lift your heavy suitcase over you onto the high shelf. The on-board staff was very friendly. Otherwise, the train was slightly late, but that was ok. All in all, a recommendable trip.

Pros

ICE train journey very pleasant

Good legroom

Pleasant atmosphere / volume

Cons

Duration of the trip (7 hours)

Poor wifi

Toilets not quite clean

The journey with the DB ICE from Munich HBF to Hamburg HBF was very pleasant on the whole. There was nothing to complain about in terms of comfort. The noise level on the train was pleasant. What was also good was that there was free wifi and a socket per seat. However, the wifi was a bit poor. The toilet was also not entirely hygienic/clean. Nevertheless, a trip that was worth the price.

Pros

Simple

Cons

Delays

I got on my chosen train, sat down and didn't have to do anything else. Everything was totally relaxed and easy to understand and handle, whether young or old. I didn't even have to change trains. At the seat itself, you have plenty of space, your own table and a power socket. There is even wifi on every train. The on-board bistro offers a wide selection of delicious dishes, including vegetarian and vegan.

Pros

I rate the trip as a very positive experience overall. The staff were really very wifi friendly and there was good wifi reception. There was also excellent hygiene throughout the train.
