Pro

Clean WCs

Comfortable seats

Sockets

Good wifi

Contra

Announcements too loud

When I took the Westbahn, I immediately noticed the good wifi. I have travelled with the Westbahn very often, but this time I have to say that this was the best journey of all so far. The toilets are clean as always and the staff are also nice. It's very easy to make a reservation. Every seat has a power socket and they all work. The Westbahn is also always on time. The announcements are a bit loud, but it's still good value for money.

Pro

fast without changing

Contra

No rest in the rest area

This was a comfortable, entertaining train ride. Thanks to wifi and a power socket on the train, I was able to stream films without any problems. It was a direct connection from Vienna to Munich without hectic transfers. Unfortunately, there was no peace and quiet in the so-called rest area. I noticed the cleanliness, also in the toilets, positively. Good price-performance ratio.

Pro

Nice staff

Comfort

Cheap

Contra

Delays

WiFi

No sockets

Poor hygiene

We were on a day trip in Vienna a few days ago and then decided to take the train on the way back. It was super easy and spontaneous to book the tickets and in itself it is also a very cheap thing. The staff was very nice and fortunately there was no lack of comfort this time. Only disappointingly, I must again address the delay of the trains. In addition, of course, once again lack of hygiene and unclean toilets. The Wi-Fi was unfortunately also not the best and since one had used his cell phone often after such a long day and wanted to charge it times, there were of course no sockets installed at our seat (was unfortunately very annoying).

Pro

On time

Clean

Few stops

Contra

Height difference between platform and wagon

The train was on time as almost always, the carriage including the toilet was clean. The staff was friendly as always. In 1st class as usual socket between the seats available and functional. The WiFi also worked perfectly. The train was on time to Freilassing. For the delay due to border controls, they railroad can not do anything. The train stops only 4x between Vienna and Munich and I would recommend it to anyone who drives this route. The only negative point would be the difference in height between the carriage and the platform both in Vienna and Munich. With heavy luggage or physical limitation troublesome.

Pro

Clean

Clean toilet

USB sockets

Comfortable seats

Contra

Departed 2 min too late

The train journey by ICE from Vienna to Munich was very pleasant. The seats were comfortable and allowed for restful sleep. The USB sockets on the seat were extremely practical and the clean toilets pleased me even more. The only minor criticism is that the train left 2 minutes late, but that was not really a problem for me. I can really recommend this train ride to anyone, especially for business travel.

Pro

Quiet train ride

Good information transfer

Contra

Rather expensive

Too little rest car

Comfort: the train moves fast but very quiet, you do not feel disturbed. The seat neighbors, of course, you can not choose, sometimes it was a little louder, but the train can do little about it. Catering: there was a bistro car where you could get food. Service: I always felt well informed about the status of the trip (information about the next stops, etc.).
