Service/PunctualityDisadvantages
PriceLast year I (took) a train trip to Oslo with DB. The wifi was excellent. Both my mobile phone and my laptop could connect to the internet quickly and flexibly. The seats were very comfortable and clean. The service was very friendly. The toilets were very clean and tidy. There was no need to change trains and we arrived in Oslo on time. However, the price was very high, but for the trip it was still pretty good value. I would only recommend it if you are willing to pay the price you need.
Advantages
Good wifiDisadvantages
CleanlinessI travelled by train from Hamburg to Oslo, and I had both positive and negative experiences. First of all, I have to say that there was very good wifi on the train and that you could use it without any problems. The punctuality of the train was also very good. I arrived at my destination with just a few minutes delay. The train also left on time. The only negative thing about this trip was that there were quite a few dirty seats. This means that the cleanliness was not particularly good in some places. The price for this train journey was also very good, which is why I can only recommend this train journey.

NoiseAs I recently had to travel from Hamburg to Oslo on business, I decided to take the train. This was a very good decision as the train was on time, comfortable and the staff were very friendly. The only negative thing I noticed is that it was very noisy during the journey. Apart from that, I can say that the wifi reception was very good and there was a possibility to charge electronic devices. Therefore, I can recommend the trip.
