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.

Disadvantages
IconPrice
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!
Advantages
IconComfortable seats
IconNice staff and passengers
IconNo noise
Disadvantages
IconTrain 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.
Advantages
Icontasty 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.

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.
Advantages
IconWas relatively empty
Disadvantages
IconWas 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.

The journey was sensational. It was quiet throughout the journey and there was a pleasant atmosphere. The staff were very helpful and friendly.

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.

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.
