The train journey from Valencia to Barcelona was positive throughout. The price was extremely attractive and the staff were friendly. The emphasis on hygiene, clean toilets and sanitary facilities were commendable. In addition, the train arrived on time and there was no need to change trains, which made travelling much easier. Unfortunately, the poor wifi connection, the noise level on the train and difficulties in making reservations were minor inconveniences. Nevertheless, the overall impression of this journey was positive.

My journey from Valencia to Barcelona was very enjoyable because the price was very fair. It wasn't necessarily cheap, but for the distance the price was well justified. The staff were very friendly, polite and respectful. They always dealt with and clarified my concerns and interests. Maximum attention was paid to hygiene, as the toilets and seats were very well maintained. The seats were not only well maintained, but also extremely cosy and comfortable, which of course made the journey much easier. The wifi connection was also very efficient and stable. I was able to stay productive and work during the journey. However, the train didn't arrive in Barcelona on time and unfortunately there were several changes that made the journey more difficult. The noise level was also inappropriate and rather annoying. But all in all a great journey!

Pros

Panorama view

Comfortable seats

Cons

Unreliable wifi

The train journey from Valencia to Barcelona was a very nice trip. One of the positive aspects was the impressive view along the route. The seats on the train were extremely comfortable and made for a relaxed journey. Unfortunately, one negative aspect was the wifi on board, which was inaccessible at times and otherwise very weak.

Pros

Punctual

Cons

None

The train journey from Valencia to Barcelona was a very relaxing experience. It was equipped with everything I needed, wifi, power sockets, comfortable seats and plenty of legroom. The service was good and the staff were nice and helpful. The train was also clean and there were clean toilets. The price was justified and fair in my opinion. Overall a very positive experience!

Pros

Equipment

Cons

I could not recognise any weaknesses

The train was really well equipped. There was fantastic wifi and always good reception. The toilets and benches were also very hygienic. I was able to sleep comfortably on the benches and have a good rest. Buying the ticket online was also no problem. As I couldn't find any disadvantages, I simply have to recommend the trip. 5 stars.

Pros

Cleanliness

Cons

Speed

I'd never travelled by train in Spain before so I didn't know what to expect, but I was pleasantly surprised. Unlike in Germany, the train was on time and very clean. The only negative thing I noticed was that the train wasn't travelling very fast. I saw that wifi was available, but I didn't test it. My laptop didn't have much battery, but luckily there were charging facilities that I could use to charge it.

Pros

Punctuality

Cons

None at all

I could only find positive points on this journey. These included, for example, that the train was on time, that the toilets were thoroughly cleaned and hygienic and that the seats were super comfortable. It was also very good that there was a constant network connection. As a result, I would like to say that the trip was very nice and I recommend it.

My journey from Valencia to Barcelona was amazingly good. The staff was very kind, friendly and always polite to their guests. The price of the ticket was very fair. The train arrived on time in Barcelona. Unfortunately, however, no attention was paid to hygiene. The toilets, WCs and washbasins were not very well maintained and clean. There were also several transfers, which made the journey a little more difficult. In addition, the noise level was not appropriate. But all in all, my trip was great!

Pros

Punctuality

Comfort

Equipment

Cons

None

I often have something to criticise, but this time everything was perfect. My train was on time and I didn't have to change trains, so my journey was very pleasant and relaxed. The train was also very quiet and the seats were so comfortable that I fell asleep. There was nothing missing in terms of equipment either, even the wifi worked. The toilets were also very clean! A great price-performance ratio!

Pros

The price was okay

Cons

Train was unfortunately very dirty

I had many ups and downs on my journey from Valencia and Barcelona. The 3-hour journey played with my nerves a little, as I first received a nice welcome from the service. Then, when I sat down at my seat, I unfortunately realised that it was very dirty. At least the wifi worked well and the journey wasn't too long.

Pros

Beautiful view

Good price

Cons

Service was okay

I travelled to Barcelona on the so-called Intercity 01072. The outward journey days before was almost exactly the same as the return journey, except that I had worse experiences with the service on the return journey. They weren't particularly polite or exceptionally nice. But I don't want to complain as there isn't that much to say about the 3 hour journey. The price of the ticket was good and the hygiene was also great on the train.

Pros

Hygiene

Cons

Punctuality

The only negative aspect was that the train arrived some time late. Otherwise, I can report that the staff seemed to go out of their way to make the journey as pleasant and problem-free as possible. The toilets were characterised by excellent cleanliness and hygiene. The reception was fine by train standards. I would recommend the service to others.

Pros

Good seats

Nice staff

Cons

The staff were super friendly and spoke English. The journey took a good 3 hours and we reached our destination station Barcelona Sants on time. The train was well cleaned and it didn't smell. The seats were very comfortable and there were power sockets. I didn't have to change trains and I was able to use the journey to work. This went quite well because it was quiet on the train, except for the last half hour. But that didn't matter because I was finished by then anyway.

Pros

Personnel

Cons

Hygiene

The return journey was also a complete success. The only negative thing was that it wasn't quite as clean and hygienic. Apart from that, I can report that the staff were very friendly and helpful. The price of the ticket was definitely reasonable. I would advise everyone to buy their ticket on the website. I can give my recommendation. 4 stars.

Pros

Punctual

Cons

Were not recognisable

There were no problems. It was very clean. The staff were very helpful. The price-performance ratio was very good. What's more, the wifi was quite good for the conditions on the train. All I have to say is that the train was on time. 5 stars!

Pros

No delay

Numerous catering options

Cons

No sockets

I started the journey from Valencia to Barcelona on 14 January 2020. I left Valencia at 7.30 pm and arrived in Barcelona at 11 pm after about three hours and 40 minutes. I didn't have to change trains and there were no delays. The journey was very pleasant, the seats were very comfortable, the volume was reasonable and there was a very varied catering service. There was wifi, but there were no power sockets, which is still not a bad thing. I can only praise the cleanliness, as it was very hygienic for a train. The price-performance ratio was also very good, especially as I had booked a return journey. The train number was 1201

Pros

Large windows to admire the landscape

Faster than driving a car

Cons

Mediocre comfort

I actually wanted to drive from Valencia to Barcelona in a hire car, but then decided to take the train. The journey took just under three hours, which is 30 minutes faster than by car. I didn't have to change trains either, so the journey was super uncomplicated and easy. I only had some back pain after the journey, which could be due to the shape of the seats. The EM 1192 also had large panoramic windows from which you can enjoy the beautiful landscape. The staff were always very nice and it was also surprisingly hygienic on the train

Pros

Fast connection

Cons

Little space for luggage

The journey from Valencia to Barcelona was my return journey. The journey was on 28 July at 5pm, the train number of the train was IC 264 and the journey took about 4 hours. The noise level was nice and low both as other passengers and travelling noise. The whole train was actually very clean and hygienic as well as the toilets. Other comforts available on the train were free wifi and power sockets. Staff were nice and helpful.

Pros

Good view

Cons

Loud noises

The IC694 train from Valencia to Barcelona departed on 22 September. The train left on time at around 4pm. The staff on board were all nice and friendly. Thanks to power sockets and wifi, I was able to work on my laptop, which made travelling by train much more relaxed. The seats were comfortable and the overall noise level on the train was very quiet, both as a passenger and from the train. The train was clean and the toilets were hygienic.
