The reason for my journey was to visit my old friends. In order to have as much time as possible in Hamburg, I decided to book the earliest train. The train left on time at 04:13 and after only 5 hours and 40 minutes I was already in Hamburg for just €13.40. I slept most of the way. I slept most of the way, so I can say the journey was very comfortable and cosy. The train was definitely the cheapest and fastest choice. The toilets were actually very clean. I never use the Wi-Fi on train journeys as it usually doesn't work or works poorly. On the other hand, I charge my mobile phone every train journey and it works perfectly. I didn't have a service on the train, but I wouldn't know what for. I personally don't use the on-board bistro as it's too expensive for me, but it's definitely useful for anyone who feels suddenly hungry or thirsty.

I recently travelled from Munich to Hamburg by train, second class, and I have to say it was really quite pleasant. To be honest, I wasn't expecting so much, but the seats were comfortable and there was enough space, so you could sit really well, even for a long time. The staff were super nice, totally relaxed and also helped directly with questions or anything else. Overall, the train was clean, including the toilets - that's not always a given. There were also power sockets at the seats, which was super handy because my mobile phone was almost empty anyway. Wifi worked surprisingly well, I was even able to do a bit of work and play around with my wifi in between. There was also food and drink on the train, I just grabbed a coffee and a small snack, which was fine. The route was really scenic, really idyllic in places, which somehow made the journey more pleasant. And best of all, the train was on time and everything ran smoothly. All in all, it was a really relaxed journey and I would do it again.

I travelled to Hamburg from Munich on the ICE 588 last June. The journey was slower than usual but quiet, the service was pleasant. I found the view very pleasant and relaxing. I didn't use the on-board bistro on this journey and used my time to sleep.

Overall, the journey in second class was comfortable and stress-free, and I would definitely use this connection again.

We were planning a long weekend in Hamburg with a visit to the Elbphilharmonie concert hall. For environmental reasons, we deliberately decided in favour of the train instead of the plane. We therefore chose 1st class tickets. We left quite early at 6:12, but arrived in Hamburg almost punctually at 12:03 with a delay of just 5 minutes. The compartment and the toilets were quite clean until we arrived in Hamburg, and the staff were extremely friendly. It was a good decision and I can recommend the train journey without reservation.

I recently made the train journey from Munich to Hamburg and would like to share my experience. Overall, the journey was pleasant and comfortable. The train was on time, which I really appreciated as it made the start of the journey stress-free. The seats were comfortable and there was enough space to relax even on longer journeys. The on-board staff were friendly and helpful, which made the journey even more pleasant. The carriages were clean during the journey and the toilets were well maintained. The wifi worked well, which was important for me to be able to work or stream a bit during the journey. Of course, a train journey from Munich to Hamburg is quite long, but the scenery you see on the way is beautiful and varied. There is also the opportunity to move around in between, which makes the journey more enjoyable. All in all, I would definitely do the train journey from Munich to Hamburg again. It's a comfortable, environmentally friendly alternative to flying or driving, and the on-board amenities make the long journey bearable.

I travelled overnight and arrived in Hamburg at around 7am without any delays. The train was relatively full, but I got a good seat despite not having a seat reservation. Everything was very clean and the train staff were very friendly. The only "negative" point was that the lights were not dimmed overnight and it was a bit chilly (bearable with a jacket).

I travelled from Munich to Hamburg at lunchtime to visit friends. The connection was okay, but with changes - not the most comfortable option.

The service was friendly, but not very present. I paid 49.90 euros for the ticket. Overall, the journey was okay, but not perfect.
