Advantages
IconService was right
IconNo change
IconSeats comfortable
Disadvantages
IconDelay of 20 minutes
IconNo sockets worked
IconCorridors were very dirty
On the journey, I did not have to change trains to get to Fulda. The seats were very comfortable and I liked the service on the train, especially the staff and the extensive offer of the on-board restaurant. However, the power sockets didn't work, so you couldn't charge your mobile phone. Another minus point is the cleanliness. The corridors were very dirty. The toilets were fine, though. Unfortunately, the train was 20 minutes late at the end.
Advantages
IconYou arrive at your destination very quickly
IconThe wifi works great
IconThe food tastes delicious and the seats are very comfortable
Disadvantages
IconThe food is a bit expensive
IconThe train was 7 minutes late
IconThere was a problem with the reservations, but these were then resolved
It was a very pleasant journey with Deutsche Bahn. The wifi worked very well and quickly and the sockets also worked perfectly. The seats were very comfortable and it was also very quiet in the carriages. The Deutsche Bahn service was also very friendly and the food at the Port Bistro was very tasty. I would recommend travelling with Deutsche Bahn to anyone and would do it again myself.
