The journey was mixed. The train arrived ten minutes late, which was tight for me. It was clean inside, but my window seat was right next to a very noisy door. Wifi was barely usable. The staff were friendly, but couldn't provide any precise information about connections. OK for short journeys, but not ideal.

The connection was without changing trains and much cheaper than by car. The train arrived on time and the journey was quiet. There was no catering on board, but the toilets were clean. The view was beautiful, especially on the overland section. The seat was okay, but a bit hard in the long run. There was hardly any service, but that doesn't bother me on a short journey.

The train journey was mixed. Boarding was chaotic because the carriage didn't stop where it said it would. It was quite full inside, luckily I had a reservation. The seat was comfortable, but the cleanliness left a lot to be desired. There were still crumbs on the folding table and the windows were greasy. At least the journey was smooth and without any major delays. Overall okay, but with room for improvement.

The train journey was okay overall, but nothing more. The train was on time, but the cleanliness left a lot to be desired. There were crumbs on my seat and the toilet was unfortunately not particularly clean. The seats are comfortable, but the carriage was quite full and it was noisy at times. The announcements were clear and timely, which was positive. It's good enough for a short journey, but for longer journeys I would like more comfort and cleanliness.

My train ticket from Stuttgart to Hanover really surprised me in a positive way! The comfort was top, the seats comfortable and enough legroom. The journey time flew by and the train was also really punctual, which is not always the case. But unfortunately, the cleanliness on the train was not quite perfect. That was a pity, but it didn't spoil the overall impression. If you value comfort, punctuality and a pleasant journey time and can overlook minor cleanliness issues, this train ticket is definitely to be recommended. I would definitely book it again.

My train journey from Stuttgart to Hanover was a real benefit. The train equipment offered wifi and power sockets that allowed me to work productively. The seats were extremely comfortable. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. The 4-hour journey time allowed for a comfortable working mode. Whilst the price was slightly higher, this was justified by the comfort offered and the excellent service. The cleanliness and hygiene of the train was another plus. A recommended option for business travellers.

Very nice journey by train from Stuttgart to Hanover. The train was only a few minutes late, which also happens with other means of travel. As the ticket was really cheap, I won't complain here, because everything else was good. The train was clean and pleasantly ventilated. There were no annoying passengers and it was a quiet journey. The seats on the train are relatively narrow, so I booked the next seat and was able to spread out and relax in peace. The internet worked and the staff were nice. I have nothing to complain about and am happy to recommend the journey.

Last year I had the pleasure of travelling on the ICE from Stuttgart to Hanover and I must say it was an extremely pleasant experience. Right from the start I was impressed by the free wifi on the train, which allowed me to stay in touch with friends and family throughout the journey. The seats on the train were very comfortable and the whole interior looked modern and well maintained. It was obvious that a lot of emphasis was placed on passenger comfort. The staff were extremely friendly and happy to help me with any questions or concerns. The toilets were also clean and well-maintained, which is always an important criterion for me personally. One of the best features was being able to book seats online. Not only did this take away the stress of having to search for a free seat, but it also gave me the peace of mind that I could start my journey in peace. As for the price, I thought it was absolutely reasonable for the quality and comfort on offer. Unfortunately, there was one small downer. The train arrived late at its destination in Hanover. This cost me a little of my time, but I was able to overlook it because of all the positive aspects of the journey.
