Advantages
Arrival on timeSockets availableDisadvantages
Toilets defectiveThe journey from Hamburg to Frankfurt was relatively pleasant. The arrival time was by and large adhered to and the sockets that were available worked perfectly. The wifi was not used. Unfortunately, there were a lot of people on the train at the time of the journey, which made the journey not so pleasant. The toilets that were available were unfortunately defective or very dirty.
Advantages
Clean busNice staffGood priceDisadvantages
NoneThe journey by bus from Hamburg to Frankfurt was flawless. The price-performance ratio is super and you have a very pleasant journey. The staff is polite and the entire journey was quiet and also without much traffic. After a punctual departure, we reached Frankfurt on schedule. As the seats are very comfortable, it was not tiring to sit for so long. The seats were clean and seemed new. The toilet was also freshly cleaned and did not smell unpleasant. The free internet, as well as the power sockets at the seat, worked. What more could you ask for? This trip is worthwhile and recommendable. I will gladly take the bus again.
Advantages
Enough spaceRelaxed journey overnightQuiet rideDisadvantages
Bus was not so cleanSeats not adjustableWC very smallWhat a pleasant experience, the bus ride from Hamburg to Frankfurt!
Plenty of space and very comfortable, especially for an overnight stay.
The journey has been quiet and pleasant, which makes travelling enjoyable. However, there are some negative aspects. Unfortunately, the seats were not adjustable and a bit uncomfortable. The toilet was narrow and could have been a little cleaner. Nevertheless, the positive experience definitely outweighs the negative.
Pleasant ride, comfort under a relaxed, calm atmosphere. Admirable.
Advantages
Affordable priceNo delaysDisadvantages
The bus was fullThe bus was coldTicket booked quickly. Seat also reserved in advance and it worked. No searching for a seat on the bus and no double booking. Departure on time. The bus was cold and full, but still reasonably loud. The driver was friendly and did his job well. The journey was fine. I arrived, received my suitcase and everything was fine. My expectations were met.
Advantages
speedPriceEquipmentDisadvantages
TransportUtilisationI remember the journey with FlixBus from Hamburg to Frankfurt am Main as a really good journey, despite the fact that the bus was quite busy in terms of passenger numbers.
With a journey time of just seven hours and a reasonable ticket price for the journey, the most important points were already ticked off for me.
The bus interior with its really comfortable seats, armrests and fold-out tables is another bonus point for FlixBus.
Advantages
EquipmentPriceDisadvantages
TransportThe bus journey from Hamburg to Frankfurt am Main with Flixbus really is a good alternative to the train. In contrast to the comparatively expensive train ticket, you can save a lot with the Flixbus and, in my opinion, even the facilities on the bus are far superior to those on the train. The only problem is the traffic, which can quickly put a spanner in the works on busy days.
Advantages
PunctualityServiceSeatsDisadvantages
PriceOn this day, I travelled to Frankfurt Central Station. The seats were excellent, modern and the service was excellent. In addition, the bus kept to its specified time and I was able to keep my appointments perfectly. Unfortunately, the tickets were a little expensive, but that was partly due to the short-notice booking.
Nevertheless, a great trip.
Advantages
PriceFriendly serviceDisadvantages
OvercrowdingAs with previous trips, the problem here was unfortunately complete overcrowding. I don't know whether it was a public holiday or something similar in Hamburg, but it really was extremely crowded. Apart from that, everything was very good. There was wifi, electricity and regular breaks where you could go to the toilet. The bus driver drove calmly and there were no negative incidents. We'd love to do it again!
