Pros
IconFast and direct
Cons
IconCrowded
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.
Pros
IconSeats comfortable
IconTrain and toilets very clean
IconTrain not busy and quiet atmosphere
Cons
IconNo staff available
IconNo 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.

I would like to mention in advance that I was able to book the ticket well in advance and the price was therefore absolutely unbeatable. The train itself was very hygienic and clean. The toilets were also well cleaned. Apart from a few spots, the reception was stable. In terms of service, I must express my appreciation. The staff were always helpful and you could ask questions without getting funny looks. It was also very comfortable.
