ReviewsReviews for the rail journey from Venice to Vienna

The customer opinion was acquired via Cimenio. Cimenio incentivises its users for giving an honest opinion and proving the booking with a photo of the travel ticket.

Pros

Good staff

Good wifi

Beautiful WC's

Cons

Bad seats

Slow ride

When I took the Westbahn, I immediately noticed the comfortable seats and the good wifi. There was a power socket for every seat. The volume of the microphones was just right. The service was good. You were just asked for your ticket and that was it. It was also very easy to reserve seats online. I have no complaints about the hygiene in the toilets. However, the Westbahn is very slow from time to time, but still very good value for money.

I recently took a trip from Vienna to Venice with Deutsche Bahn. The staff was very friendly and they took great interest in the interests and concerns of their customers. The wifi was very efficient and strong. My electronic devices were able to connect to it quickly. The volume on the train was optimal. However, there were several transfer necessities, which made the journey difficult. Also, hygiene was not really taken care of. The toilets were not clean and the seats were not well maintained. I personally found the travel costs very high. Overall, a satisfactory trip.
