Advantages

Disadvantages

I had a positive experience with this train connection. My train arrived before the scheduled time, which gave me more time to get settled. My seat was on the aisle and I could watch the busy DB staff from there. There were also 2 USB ports and a wifi connection, and the windows could be darkened with a blind. The toilet was clean and tidy. A very pleasant connection that I can recommend.

Advantages

Quick

Clean

Smoothly

Disadvantages

I have nothing negative to say

The reservation of this train connection as well as the reservation of my seat at the window went smoothly. I found the price-performance ratio of the ticket a bit overpriced. The train was a little late, but I think that's normal nowadays. Once on the train, I made my seat, which was very comfortable, soft and adjustable. There was a wifi connection and power source on the train so I could watch a movie on my laptop on the way. The staff were very helpful and friendly. The toilet had plenty of toilet paper like paper towels, plus it was hygienically up to scratch. I reached my destination quickly and did not get bored on the way. Therefore, a positive recommendation from me.

Advantages

Faster to the finish than I thought

Disadvantages

None

I travelled by second class ICE, the journey was very pleasant and in my opinion recommendable. The journey dragged on a bit, but it was still faster than by car, and also much cheaper. The snack bar was open and I was able to buy a fresh coffee, this was a bit too expensive in my opinion. The train looked a bit run down, but was far from full. There was plenty of seating available so I was very free and comfortable during the journey. I would very much like to repeat the trip.

Advantages

Price

Disadvantages

Hygiene

Super train connection. The regional express leaves every 20 minutes and is always very punctual. If you need to catch a connecting train, you can be sure that you will get it. The price-performance ratio is very good. There are toilets on the train. These are not to be criticised. The seating areas are often dirty. Otherwise, you also have the option of charging your mobile phone during the train journey.

Advantages

Competent and reliable

Disadvantages

None

The train service from Nuremberg to Hof was generally very punctual. Most of my journeys started and ended as planned. However, there were a few exceptions where minor delays occurred. Overall, punctuality was acceptable. The cleanliness on the train was excellent. The seats, floors and overall surroundings were always well maintained and clean. The train crew ensured that the train remained in pristine condition. The train service offered power points which was very convenient, most of the sockets were accessible and worked perfectly. The toilet was clean and well equipped, there was nothing missing. Overall, I really enjoyed this train service, so I am happy to recommend it.

Advantages

Friendly staff

Good equipment

Punctuality and no changing

Cleanliness in toilets and on the train

Disadvantages

Seat back missing, no folding table

From Nuremberg to Hof, the train is less busy than on the outward journey. The volume in the passenger compartment was also pleasant. However, the seats here were not very good, as my seat in particular lacked a headrest. There was also no folding table. The staff here had been friendly and even apologised for the inconvenience with the seat. But the furnishings had also been good here. The cleanliness here was also good, which I found perfect, especially in the toilets. The journey as a whole didn't take as long as the outward journey as I took the express train, which didn't stop at all stations. Apart from that, the train arrived at my destination on time and I didn't have to change trains.
