Last year, shortly before Christmas, I travelled from Münster Hauptbahnhof to Berlin Hauptbahnhof by ICE and found the journey very pleasant. Despite the upcoming holidays, the train was not too crowded and I was able to sit alone in a 2-seater seat and make myself very comfortable there, as I also didn't have to look for another stowage option for my luggage. Thanks to the fast connection, I was already home in the early evening and could still enjoy the time with my family. The toilets on the train were also very clean. All in all, I can only recommend it.

The train journey gets three stars from me. The train journey began with a negative point. The train was at least 30 minutes late. What really annoys me is that the first thing on the display board was only five minutes, and then when the five minutes were up, there was another five minutes. It went on and on until the train finally arrived. The staff on the train were super nice and in a good mood and even apologised for the delay. The food in the cafeteria was also very tasty and fresh. One drawback is the price. I think the price of almost 26 euros is too much. If the price went down a bit, I would do it much more often.
Advantages
IconArrive comfortably in the city centre of Münster
Disadvantages
IconNot quite on time
I recently travelled from Berlin to Münster by train and I can say that it was a good experience. A plus point of this train journey is the convenient arrival in the heart of Münster. The station is perfectly integrated into the city, which makes travelling on to your destination extremely easy. Unfortunately, you can't always count on the train arriving on time. It is definitely advisable to plan a time buffer, especially if you have important appointments. This is unfortunate, but the many other advantages make up for it. Worth mentioning is the good wifi on board, which pleasantly shortens the journey time. The seats in first class are extremely comfortable and offer plenty of space, which makes the journey particularly pleasant. The service provided by the railway staff is friendly and helpful, which makes the journey even more enjoyable. The cleanliness of the trains also deserves praise. The price-performance ratio is also okay.

The trip was a while ago now, on the trip the equipment was great, the electricity and wifi was top. The seats and the ambience were also great, very nice staff who were always there if there were any problems. However, the toilets were not clean at all, thumbs down. The journey time was okay, except that the train was much too late. The price of the journey was quite expensive.
