Pros

Speed

Service

WIFI

Cons

Capacity utilisation

Comfort

Air conditioning

My journey from Stuttgart to Ulm was exciting and with obstacles. In theory, the train is very fast, but on my day of travel there was a decent delay. Also, the air conditioning didn't work well on my journey, which, together with the high occupancy on the train, was a bit inconvenient. Despite everything, I liked the nice service and the wifi on board also worked. In the future, I would choose the route again if the train were a little more punctual.

Pros

No change

Friendly staff

With on-board bistro and good and comfortable facilities

No delay

Cleanliness and hygiene on the train

Cons

Volume too loud

The train went through from Stuttgart to Ulm, so there was no need to change trains. The train was full and accordingly noisy. On the train, there was the option of dining in the on-board bistro, where the staff was also friendly, as was the ticket control. The train was clean and the toilets were hygienic. The seats were comfortable and fully equipped. At the destination station, the train had finally been on time.

Pros

Speed

Cons

None

I travelled from Stuttgart main station to Ulm main station on the ICE 911 on 19 April. The journey was very pleasant. Took about 40 minutes and the train was very clean. Although I didn't have a seat reservation, I still got a seat and would always recommend the journey to others, as it is much quicker to travel by ICE than by car. I was also delighted with the price-performance ratio, as the journey was not expensive.

Pros

A very relaxed trip

Cons

No negative experience gained

I often travel by train, and I must say it is more and more fun to connect with the ICE. The company is always evolving and improving every day. I liked this journey very much, as I was travelling from Stuttgart to Munich, so I can also rate this route here. Since I travelled along it. Everything was clean and very nice, you get a lot of scenery and that calms you down inside. It was pleasant and comfortable. I can only report positive things about this journey.

Pros

Neat train

Cons

None

I travelled second class on IC2297 from Darmstadt to Munich. The Stuttgart - Ulm section was part of this journey, so I can rate this section. The train was well maintained and apparently hygienic. The Deutsche Bahn staff were friendly. The train was on time. The toilet in my carriage was functional. The journey takes about 1 hour. I have nothing to criticise about the journey.

Pros

Speed

Cons

None

Yesterday morning, I travelled from Stuttgart to Ulm Hauptbahnhof (Ulm main station) on business with Deutsche Bahn. The ICE 911 arrived on time in Stuttgart and was also on time in Ulm. I was still able to sit for the short journey of only about 40 minutes without reserving a seat and, thanks to the wifi on board, I could also already start working. Hygiene and cleanliness were given and the price-performance ratio with about 20 € for the trip is absolutely reasonable. Overall, I can highly recommend the journey with Deutsche Bahn from Stuttgart Hauptbahnhof to Ulm Hauptbahnhof and would book it again in the future.

Pros

Direct connection

WIFI

Comfort

Price-performance ratio

Cons

Only one socket per double seat

On the journey from Berlin to Ulm, the route from Stuttgart to Ulm was the last leg of the ICE journey. Travelling from Stuttgart to Ulm in just over 40 minutes is really fast! The time flew by and thanks to wifi and a power socket I was able to work well in my seat. Unfortunately, there is only one power socket per double seat in second class, luckily my seat neighbour didn't need one. The toilets were also clean and the staff at the ticket check and during the announcements were very friendly.
