ReviewsReviews for the rail journey from Munich to Vienna

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 without changing

Contra

no wifi

The train arrived, as you know it from the railway, with some delay. As I have often experienced, the train's own wifi did not work. But at least the sockets, which were built into the seats, worked. The train was initially quite clean, but became increasingly dirty during the journey. The same was true of the toilets. The staff were a bit brusque, but friendly and helpful. I find the price-performance ratio reasonable. I would book such a ticket again at any time.

Pro

Cheap alternative

Clear overview

Private toilets

Contra

Delays

Unpleasant with passengers

Substance odors

Because of a seminar I had to go to Vienna and bought the ticket online. Since is for me the cheapest and best alternative. The ride there is relatively relaxed, except for small delays on the train and some unpleasant smells. But these settled in the course of the trip. In general, I am always satisfied to travel by train, as it is fast and confident.

Pro

Favorable price

Fast connection

Few stops

Contra

Sometimes delay

Entry with heavy luggage exhausting

There is no power outlet in the RJ in 2nd class, but I knew that. The carriage and the toilet were clean and there was enough space for the luggage. Pleasant fellow passengers, normal volume. The staff was friendly as always. The train was very punctual and the change in Vienna Meidling therefore problem-free. I have recommended the RJ several times to friends for a trip to Vienna and wanted to do the same here. The only negative thing to note is the difference in height between the platform and the train car. This makes boarding with heavy luggage exhausting.

Pro

Comfortable seats

Sockets

Contra

Dirty and smelly toilets

Arrived 1 hour late

My train journey from Munich to Vienna was moderately pleasant. Since I was traveling for work, it was pleasing that the seats were comfortable and you could rest. There were also power outlets at my seat, which was convenient. However, the loo was very dirty and smelled unpleasant. Another negative point is that we arrived in Vienna an hour late due to track disruptions. Overall, the train trip was average, with some shortcomings that marred the overall experience.

Pro

Cleanliness

No change

Friendly staff

Contra

Price-performance ratio

Equipment: WiFi is available + socket per double place. Service: Reservations are possible and I would recommend them. The conductors are friendly Cleanliness: My seat was clean, the same goes for the toilet. Travel: Changing trains was not necessary and the train arrived on time at the destination station in Vienna. Price-performance ratio: Unfortunately, you are usually more expensive with a train ride than with a flight.

Pro

Seats

Equipment

Contra

Very full train

Catering

My train journey from Munich to Vienna was overall pleasant and trouble-free. There were several positive aspects that I would like to highlight. First of all, the train was on time and the departure was smooth. The comfort on the train was also satisfactory, with enough space to sit and relax. The train's furnishings were modern and clean, and there were power outlets to power my electronic devices. The service on board was friendly and helpful, and the train staff provided a pleasant atmosphere during the trip. The scenery along the route was also impressive and offered beautiful views. However, there were also some negative aspects that I would like to mention. For one, the train was quite crowded at times, which led to some discomfort. In addition, the food on the train was limited and the selection of food and drinks was not particularly varied. Also, the toilets were not always in perfect condition and could be cleaned better.
