The journey on the route from Ulm to Frankfurt was satisfactory. The Deutsche Bahn ICE was fast and on time. My compartment was clean and very comfortable. Unfortunately, the power socket at my seat did not work. The Deutsche Bahn staff were also not very friendly. The train was quite full, but that was still ok.

My train journey from Ulm to Frankfurt was really pleasant. The best thing about this trip was undoubtedly the punctuality and cost of this connection.

The journey from Ulm to Frankfurt was on the ICE 690 in second class. We had reserved seats, but the train was not particularly full on this day.

No direct connection possible

I made my train journey from Ulm to Frankfurt am Main with a change of train, as unfortunately no direct connection was possible at that time. The changeover time was 9 minutes and the connecting train was directly at the opposite track. Fortunately, we were not delayed and everything went according to plan. The train was well cleaned without complaint and the staff were very friendly throughout. I found a very good seat on both trains and was able to make the train journeys very comfortably.

Service

My train journey from Ulm to Frankfurt was really good. First of all, the train staff were really friendly and helpful. They took care of me and answered my questions, which made the journey really pleasant. But the service in the on-board restaurant wasn't the best, I have to say. The comfort on the train was solid, and there were power sockets! That was really handy, I could charge my mobile phone and do my work. The price of the ticket was also really fair. But the toilets were not clean. That was really disgusting.

Pros

Fast

The train journey was an all-round positive experience! I was particularly impressed by the punctuality. The train arrived exactly on time and made for a stress-free start to the day. The price of the ticket was fair, especially compared to other modes of transport. The cleanliness of the train was fantastic and the free wifi enabled me to have a productive journey. The toilet facilities were well maintained and the seating comfort was great. All in all, a highly recommended train connection that I will gladly use again.
