I spent a weekend in Düsseldorf and travelled to and from the city on this train. I really liked the train ride and there is not much to criticise. The comfort was very pleasant. The train was delayed due to a fault, which didn't bother me because I wasn't in a hurry. I particularly like the cleanliness of the train and the toilets. I had booked the seat and was able to enjoy the legroom. The train was also not full and so the whole atmosphere was very pleasant. The board restaurant had delicious and many dishes and I visited it often. The ticket price was also very okay as it was outside the holiday season. The wifi, which was available everywhere on the train, was fast and good. I have long been convinced by the train and this trip did it again.

IconLittle delay
The train journey from Stuttgart to Düsseldorf was very pleasant overall. The train was on time and clean and the staff was friendly and helpful. The seats were comfortable and had plenty of legroom. The scenery along the way was beautiful and so I was able to enjoy my breaks. During the journey I worked on my laptop using the free wifi, which had a good connection. On the return journey, my train was a little late, but the staff offered me a free coffee to make up for it, which I personally found very nice. The selection of snacks and drinks in the on-board bistro was also very good, so I can only recommend the train journey.
Advantages
Icongood wifi
IconConvenience
It was a great ride, I went with an extra person and it was relatively cheap for everything. The wifi was very good, although it was used by a lot of people. I had a socket on my comfy seat and it was very quiet on the train. The staff were very nice and did a good job. There was a lot of choice on the menu. There was a lot of attention to hygiene and it was very clean on the train. Great trip, I'll pass it on.

I spent a weekend in Düsseldorf and travelled to and from the city on this train. I really liked the train ride and there is not much to criticise. The comfort was very pleasant. The train was delayed due to a fault, which didn't bother me because I wasn't in a hurry. I especially liked the cleanliness on the train and in the toilets. I had booked the seat and could enjoy the legroom. The train was also not full, so the whole atmosphere was very pleasant. The on-board restaurant had delicious and many dishes and I visited it often. The ticket price was also very good as it was outside the holiday season. The wifi, which is indispensable on trains these days, was also available and good. I've long been a fan of the train and this trip did it again. The staff were also very friendly and professional.
Advantages
IconOn time
Disadvantages
Iconnoisy passengers
Unlike my journey from Düsseldorf to Stuttgart, my return journey to Düsseldorf was on time, which was very pleasing for the length of the journey. Thanks to the City Ticket, which was already included in my Flexpreis ticket, I was able to travel very easily from my hotel to the main station without any additional costs! The toilets were also very clean and the staff were above average friendly and took care of everything you needed. Unfortunately, it was a bit noisy for sitting in the quiet compartment and it was a bit annoying that the other passengers didn't care and the well-being of the others, which of course is not the train's fault per se. The seats were comfortable and the power sockets worked. Only the wifi was a bit bumpy, as there were probably a lot of people on board. All in all, however, it was a very worthwhile trip in terms of value for money!
Advantages
IconTrain not too crowded
Disadvantages
Iconslight delay
As it was a saver ticket, the price for the journey was of course unbeatable! Seat reservations were not necessary as the train was not too crowded, I could relax in my seat for the whole journey, but I still had one to be on the safe side. In the meantime, there was a delay of 10 minutes, which was no problem for me, as I had no change and no connection.
Advantages
Iconcool atmosphere
Iconpleasant journey
Inside it was very warm and I sat down with a friend and we rode very relaxed. I really liked the internet, we ordered a coffee for us, we ordered a coffee without waiting, people came, people looked very happy, a very pleasant sleep, I think this train deserves 5 stars. My train was also on time and the atmosphere was great. Since there are 5 stars, of course I recommend the trip.
Advantages
IconVery good coffee
Iconpleasant journey
I give you one of the most beautiful trips I have ever had, when I came in, the interior was very hygienic and clean, I sat on the sofa, it was very comfortable and pleasant, I ordered the internet without interruption, the coffee was delicious. When I looked outside with pleasure, the windows were very clean. I arrived at my destination just in time, my love and greetings. Besides, this was my outward journey in 2nd class.
Advantages
Iconcool atmosphere
It was a great ride in 2nd class. The train was very clean and so were the toilets. My train arrived on time and I was also on time in Düsseldorf. The atmosphere was great and so was the view from the window. The staff were very nice. There was a wide choice of menus. It was relatively quiet on the train and the wifi was good. The journey was a solid one and deserves 5 stars. Since everything fell relatively well, I'm happy to pass on the ride. What is also very worth mentioning is the price, as my ticket was cheap.
Advantages
IconFast train ride
IconCheap
Disadvantages
IconFailure of the originating train
IconUnclear station
IconFull train
The original train to Düsseldorf was cancelled, so a replacement train was provided. This was accordingly full and there was little space on the train. But finding this train was already an odyssey in itself, because Stuttgart's main station is quite confusing and spacious. The train itself, however, was well equipped and the train staff were kindly apologetic. The journey to Düsseldorf went by quickly and was perfectly fine for the price. Unfortunately, the wifi was a bit slow. The toilets were a bit dirty, but it was still within reason.
Advantages
IconFast journey
IconFriendly staff
IconGood restaurant
Disadvantages
IconDirty toilets
IconLong train delay
IconBroken seats
On my journey from Stuttgart to Düsseldorf, the facilities were very good, with plenty of power sockets and reasonably good wifi. The comfort was also good, except that there was one broken seat, but that didn't bother me. The service was great, especially the staff were always friendly and helpful. However, we can't speak too highly of the cleanliness, as the toilets were often dirty. The journey went by quickly, unfortunately we were a few minutes late. The price was quite good.
