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.
Advantages
I felt very safeUnproblematicDisadvantages
Have not had any negative experiencesThe train was on time and boarding was smooth, the train made a very tidy impression as well as the floors and the window panes. The toilet facilities were very well maintained and well equipped. The staff were very attentive and friendly. The seats were very comfortable and well padded, there was plenty of leg room, the Bistro Boot had a good range of different products. Overall, a very good train service that went without a hitch.
Advantages
Not overcrowdedCleanliness goodFriendlyDisadvantages
Very poor wifiGood journey from Munich main station to Stuttgart main station. The train was not overcrowded, no need to change trains. Punctuality was top. Cleanliness of the train was good (toilet not used).
The ticket control by the staff was very friendly.
However, the wifi on this trip was very poor.
Advantages
Problem-freeQuickDisadvantages
NoneI booked the Munich Stuttgart train connection online, with the ICE 512. This worked out wonderfully. My train was only 6 minutes late. Once on the train, I looked around and noticed that there was no ticket machine for stamping. Instead, there was a coffee and snack machine. The train also had a stable wifi connection and a power socket. The seats were very comfortable and looked neat. The toilet made a good impression, the toilet worked perfectly. The staff were very friendly to me and helpful. A train connection I am happy to recommend.
Advantages
Train on timePleasant volume on the trainCleanliness and friendly staffDisadvantages
Seats dirty with footprintsThe train had been somewhat full, but it was acceptable, especially because of the pleasant volume on the train. However, many seats on the train were dirty and there were footprints on many of them. Probably because people had put their shoes on the seat. There were no other defects on the journey. It was otherwise clean and hygienic and the train was on time and the staff friendly. All in all, a good journey.
Advantages
PriceSwiftlyClean and well maintainedDisadvantages
Short interruptionI travelled by train from Munich to Stuttgart. The train arrived at the station on time and was not delayed at all. The train was in excellent condition and I found it to be very well maintained. The train was pleasantly quiet and the passengers, as well as the sanitary facilities, were clean and well-maintained. The wifi was not the fastest, but still usable and sufficient to work. In between, the train had to stop briefly due to trains ahead, but that is the only negative thing I can say about this connection.
Advantages
Departed on timeSockets availableSufficient information about connectionsDisadvantages
80 minutes delay in StuttgartVery fullVery loudWifi not usableAfter we had already been almost half an hour late with the previous train, we just about reached the ICE from Munich to Stuttgart, as it left on time. Unfortunately, it was so full that we had to sit on the floor for a long time. This was mainly due to other train cancellations that day. Due to a thunderstorm, the route between Augsburg and Ulm was also closed, so we had to take a diversion and were 80 minutes late before arriving in Stuttgart. I'm still awarding 3 stars, as the railway can't be held responsible for the storm, but they shouldn't have estimated the delay at 30 minutes in advance. At least there was enough information about the respective connecting trains. The wifi was also unusable and it was incredibly loud in the train due to the many passengers.
Advantages
HygieneDisadvantages
PriceProfessionally, I use the route from Munich to Stuttgart once a month. I have been looking after the customer for years. I have never noticed anything negative about the connection. The trains are usually on time and very rarely break down. I always continue working from the train as I always get a great seat. You don't have to be disgusted. It's always pretty clean and the toilets are also usable. The price could be adjusted a bit.
Advantages
Pleasant journeyDisadvantages
PriceI took the ICE from Munich to Stuttgart. The train was on time so far. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Unfortunately, we had to take a short break due to a technical defect. Otherwise, the train was in a good, well-maintained condition. The wifi worked great. I am satisfied and would use it again at any time. The traffic today does not have to be
Advantages
Very fast for a trainInexpensive and comfortableDisadvantages
No negative experiencesThe ride was very relaxed, quiet and pleasant. The staff was very friendly and approachable. Booking the ticket was smooth and quick. The price was reasonable. There was wifi, electricity as well as a snack bar on the train. I could get a fresh coffee at any time, it was quiet on the train so you could relax and maybe fall asleep. The toilet was clean and there was everything you need. A trip I can recommend.
Advantages
FastComfortableDisadvantages
NoneAlthough I prefer the direct journey between Munich and Karlsruhe, the journey to Stuttgart is also great, as the changeover works smoothly. Even if there are problems, there are plenty of connecting trains that can be taken as an alternative.
Advantages
PersonnelDisadvantages
CleanlinessThe journey was very enjoyable for me. The positive aspects include the excellent punctuality, the helpfulness of the staff and the good wifi. Unfortunately, the only downside I have to mention is that it wasn't particularly clean.
