That was a great ride. I went through the door and sat down. The seat was very clean and so were the floors. Then I went to the toilet as needed. It was very hygienic and there was no shortage of soap. There was no pile of rubbish or anything like that. Everything was perfect, clean. Everything was running on time.

IconThe train was full and poorly air-conditioned
A few days ago, we travelled with 3 people by Deutsche Bahn from Nuremberg to Hamburg. The seats were large enough and the train was very clean, as were the toilets. Unfortunately, the train was very full and we had problems stowing our luggage. In addition, the train was only moderately air-conditioned. This made the journey a bit exhausting. The staff was friendly throughout. We finally arrived at our destination with a slight delay.

The journey from Nuremberg to Hamburg central station is highly recommended despite the long journey time. The seats are very comfortable and there is plenty of legroom. I also had a very nice seatmate with whom I could have a nice chat - this made the journey go by much faster. The staff on the train were also very friendly and helpful. There was also enough space for luggage. Highly recommended.

It was a great ride. My train arrived on time. I got on and immediately noticed how clean it was on the train. Then later when I used the toilets I also noticed how clean they were, it was generally very clean throughout the train. The staff were very friendly and there was a lot of choice of delicious food. It was very quiet on the train, so quiet that you could even fall asleep. The seats were also very comfortable and you have access to good wifi and you had several sockets at your seat. This trip is highly recommended, so I recommend it.

The journey from Nuremberg to Hamburg was fine for the most part. I did have to change trains a few times, but personally I didn't find that bad. What I found worse was that the toilets in the trains weren't particularly clean. The carriages, on the other hand, were clean. I reached my destination without any delays, which I thought was great. The service on board was good, as the staff were open to criticism.
Advantages
IconThe train was not delayed
Disadvantages
IconThe journey was rather unpleasant
As the train wasn't delayed, we were able to set off very quickly and I found my seat easily, but unfortunately it was a bit broken, so the journey wasn't so pleasant and luckily I found a power socket and then went straight to the bistro, where the staff were really friendly, but all in all the journey was very pleasant apart from the seats.
