ReviewsReviews for the rail journey from Munich to Bayreuth
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
Cleanliness and punctualityStaff was friendly and helpfulOnboard bistros were availableVolume on the train was relaxingDisadvantages
Changeover very stressful due to short changeover timeThis journey required a change of trains. This had been very inconvenient as the changeover time had been quite short, 5 minutes in total. However, both trains had been clean and on time. The staff were friendly and made informative announcements. The seats had been comfortable and very well appointed. There were also on-board bistros on both trains and they were nicely decorated. The noise level was normal on both trains, so you could travel in a relaxed manner.
