Advantages

Little delayI 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.
Advantages

Little delayThe 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
good wifiConvenienceIt 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.

Delay but normalI 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.

The staff were also very friendly and professional.
Advantages
On timeDisadvantages
noisy passengersUnlike 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
Train not too crowdedDisadvantages
slight delayAs 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
cool atmospherepleasant journeyInside 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
Very good coffeepleasant journeyI 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

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.

Failure of the originating trainUnclear stationFull trainThe 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.

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.
