ReviewsReviews for the rail journey from Stuttgart to Berlin

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.

Pros

Convenience

Very good coffee

The inside of the train is very comfortable, comfortable and hygienic seats, the seats are very clean, the bin is empty, the internet is very strong, then I ordered a café, by the time I got my coffee it smelled very delicious. I sipped it with relish, then when I looked out the window I noticed how clean the windows were and I had a very pleasant journey. It gets a very deserved five stars and I recommend it too.

Pros

Service/Hygiene

Cons

Price

Last year, I travelled from Stuttgart to Berlin by DB in February. The wifi was excellent. My mobile phone and my laptop were able to connect to the wifi quickly. I also really liked the seats, as they were neat and clean. The customer service was very friendly and responded quickly to my wishes and concerns. Great attention was paid to hygiene. The train also arrived in Berlin on time. The only negative thing I noticed during the journey was the price. Otherwise, a wonderful experience!

Pros

Comfortable seats

Nice staff and passengers

No noise

Cons

Train arrived a little late

The seats were really comfortable, I could have easily sat on them for another 6 hours and the two power sockets at my seat were completely sufficient. In addition, the free internet worked flawlessly and food was provided in the on-board bistro, where there was very tasty food for in between. The staff on the train were also very friendly, as were the passengers, of course, as there was very little going on and it was therefore quite quiet. The toilets didn't show any particular negative things either, although they weren't a luxury toilet, you could go to the toilet quite normally on a clean toilet. The mango about the journey is that the train was about 8 minutes late, but that was not a tragedy for me. The price-performance ratio was good and I was generally very satisfied with the train ride, I'd be happy to do it again.

Pros

tasty food

There was nothing negative, so I am happy to recommend the trip. There were of course many positives, but the food was really great, as it was very cheap and excellent. In addition, the whole train was very clean and so were the toilets. The heaters also worked perfectly. My ticket was also cheap on top of all that. The staff were very friendly. Besides, this was my outward journey. It was very quiet on the train, so the atmosphere was great.

Pros

Pleasant ride

Cons

Unfortunately there was nothing to eat

I took the train from Stuttgart to Berlin, the journey was really pleasant and the train was not too crowded. Unfortunately, the socket was slow to charge and the wifi was not so good. There was also nothing to eat. The toilets were really dirty, I was very disgusted to go to the toilet.

Pros

very favourable

It was a great ride with no negative things. In addition, the journey was also very cheap, as I only paid €30.00 for 2 people. In addition, my train also arrived on time. I had good wifi and access to electricity, in the form of a power socket. The toilets were also very clean and especially the train was clean. It was very quiet on the train and the staff were very nice. It gets 5 stars and I can definitely recommend it, just the fact that it was so cheap is a reason to recommend it.

Pros

Was relatively empty

Cons

Was very cold

It was very pleasant to go to Berlin by train from Stuttgart. The downside was it was very cold and you couldn't charge your phone properly, the sockets worked partially and the wifi was very poor. There was no problem with the space. The service tried to make everything as fair as the customers wanted it. The price was very reasonable, which is great.

Pros

pleasant volume

As you can see in the picture, that was my outward journey and it was really great. My ticket was not expensive. I especially liked that the volume on the train was very pleasant. The internet was very good. My seat was very well equipped and that with: Pillow, power socket, blanket and earplugs. The staff were very funny and nice. My food was brought quickly and was also delicious. The toilets were clean and especially the mirrors on the toilets and also on the seats were very clean. From all the positive points, the train ride is highly recommended. It gets 5 out of 5 stars because there was nothing I didn't like.

Pros

The train was quiet

Cons

The product has no weaknesses

The journey was sensational. It was quiet throughout the journey and there was a pleasant atmosphere. The staff were very helpful and friendly. In addition to the good mobile phone reception, there were also power sockets. The toilets were also kept very clean, as was the compartment. What also impressed me was that the train was right on time. In any case, you can't complain about the price. Overall, I can recommend the trip.

Pros

Cheap

Cons

Service

Seat reservation

Food

The train journey with the ICE and the RegionalExpress to Berlin from Stuttgart was not the best journey in my opinion, but it was still worth it for me. There was wifi and plenty of sockets, but I didn't really like the staff and the food. In addition, the seat reservation wasn't that great either, as strangers sat in my seat even though they hadn't reserved it. The toilets were OK, but not the most hygienic. The train also arrived a few minutes late. Unfortunately, I cannot give the trip more than 3 stars.

Pros

Comfortable

Catering

Personnel

Cons

WIFI

Sockets

Volume

I travelled very well on the ICE. It was super comfortable and convenient. The Deutsche Bahn staff are very friendly and helpful. The catering in the on-board restaurant was really recommendable for the small appetite. I would always use the ICE again.

Pros

Fast travelling time

Good board restaurant

Nice staff

Cons

Train was late

Dirty train

Unclean toilets

On my train journey from Stuttgart to Berlin, the facilities were very good, I had good wifi and plenty of power sockets. The comfort was also okay, everything was intact and the noise level was very pleasant. The service was also good, especially the staff were always nice and helpful to us. We can't speak too highly of the cleanliness, as the train was very dirty. The journey time was great, except that the train was a few minutes late. The price was good.

Pros

Very good

Cons

Nothing

The train is very clean, and the seats are comfortable. The staff are very friendly and helpful. I always travel with DB and so happy with their service. Everything works very well. I would recommend DB to all my friends. Thanks a lot DB for such a wonderful service!!!

Pros

Speed

Service

Comfortable

Cons

WIFI

Seats

The journey was very pleasant. As always, the staff were friendly and helpful. The train was on time. Travelling by ICE saves an enormous amount of stress and time by car. Travelling in 2nd class is also very comfortable and you can sit well and comfortably. Unfortunately, the inconsistent internet connection only allows for a 4-star rating, as something definitely needs to be done here in the future. Unfortunately, there are also not enough power sockets.

Pros

Fast journey

nice staff

Good service

Cons

Train was late

Unclean toilets

Broken seat

On my train journey from Stuttgart to Berlin, the comfort was pretty good, except that my seat was damaged at the edge. The facilities were also quite good, as there were plenty of power sockets and good wifi. The service was great, especially the staff were always friendly and helpful. However, the train was not so clean. The journey time was good, except that the train was late. The price was okay.
