ReviewsReviews for the rail journey from Munich to Erfurt

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.

Pro

Fast and direct

Contra

Crowded

The train was exceptionally punctual. It is nice that you can travel directly from Munich to Erfurt. Without having to change trains hectically. Although I was sitting in the so-called quiet area, it was quite noisy. The staff didn't care. Otherwise, however, they were friendly and helpful. The seats were quite comfortable. Unfortunately, both the wifi and the power sockets were not working. I can only describe the hygienic conditions of the toilets as catastrophic. I find the regular prices for train journeys quite expensive in general. It may be that the price-performance ratio is okay and fair with this super saver fare.

Pro

Seats comfortable

Train and toilets very clean

Train not busy and quiet atmosphere

Contra

No staff available

No ticket control and announcements

The journey had been very relaxed because there was no need to change trains and the train was not very busy. Therefore, it had been quite quiet on the train and the comfortable seats made it really easy to relax. However, there were no staff on the train, as no announcements were made and no ticket checks were carried out. Otherwise, it was very clean on the train and in the toilets and the train arrived at its destination on time. The journey took only 2 hours and 30 minutes due to punctuality.
