Disadvantages
IconHigh delay
Unfortunately, we had a very long delay on the route from Frankfurt Airport, which spoiled the overall train journey. There were regular announcements, but I still had an appointment in the evening, which was a bit silly. But the train was very clean and I had a comfortable seat. I would describe the price-performance ratio as OK overall, even if the delay was a bit silly.

The train's equipment left nothing to be desired. The seats were extremely comfortable and offered enough space for a relaxed journey.

The comfort during the journey was really top for an ICE. The air conditioning kept the train at a comfortable temperature and the toilets were always clean and well maintained. The train staff were extremely friendly and attentive. They were always available to the passengers and took care of any concerns. The cleanliness on the train was impressive. Both the seats and the interior were cleaned regularly and were always welcoming. Hygiene standards were maintained in an exemplary manner. The value for money of the train journey was reasonable.
