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
ConvenienceVery good coffeeThe 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.
Advantages
Service/HygieneDisadvantages
PriceLast 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!
Advantages
Comfortable seatsNice staff and passengersNo noiseDisadvantages
Train arrived a little lateThe 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.
Advantages
tasty foodThere 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.
Advantages
Pleasant rideDisadvantages
Unfortunately there was nothing to eatI 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.
Advantages
very favourableIt 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.
Advantages
Was relatively emptyDisadvantages
Was very coldIt 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.
Advantages
pleasant volumeAs 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.
Advantages
The train was quietDisadvantages
The product has no weaknessesThe 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.
Advantages
CheapDisadvantages
ServiceSeat reservationFoodThe 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.

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.
