PunctualityI had to travel from Aachen to Berlin for a business trip.
Unfortunately, the train was late, so I missed my connecting train. But as I had planned for this, it wasn't too bad. The train was very clean, as were the toilet facilities. I had a good seat with the option of charging my laptop. The train wasn't too full.

No changeover necessaryDisadvantages
Often delaysI occasionally take the ICE 17 from Aachen to Berlin Central Station and find this connection very practical, as it goes directly to Berlin without changing trains. This saves time and makes the journey more pleasant. However, the train is usually very busy, which is why I recommend reserving a seat if you want to travel in comfort. One disadvantage is that the ICE 17 often arrives around 20 minutes late. Even though this is just about acceptable for me, better punctuality would be desirable.

Long delay of 55 minutesHigh utilisation and volumeExpensive ticketMy ICE train from Aachen to Berlin was delayed by a total of 55 minutes. The train was also very noisy and crowded. Otherwise, the seats were comfortable and the facilities were very good with power sockets and an internet connection. The seat reservation also worked without any problems. The on-board bistro was open and the staff there were friendly and the food was delicious. Unfortunately, I found the ticket far too expensive for this route. However, it was positive that this was a direct connection. The cleanliness and hygiene on the train was fine. I would not recommend the journey due to the delay.

Could be a bit cleanerThe train journey with the Flixtrain from Aachen to Berlin was a positive experience overall. The combination of comfort, on-board catering and the possibility to use wifi contributed to a pleasant journey. Minor improvements in terms of cleanliness would be desirable, but do not detract from the overall positive picture.
