ReviewsReviews for the rail journey from Stuttgart Hbf to Dortmund Hbf
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.
Advantages
Very fast and pleasant rideFriendly staffVery modern trains and comfortable seatsDisadvantages
Slight delay of 30 minutesThe equipment was very modern, the trains had free wifi and power sockets. The seats were very comfortable and the staff very friendly. The train was generally very pleasantly quiet. I had to change trains once and I was able to make the connection without any problems. I give the value for money a 7 out of 10, because you also have to bear in mind that there are much more expensive alternatives.
