Everything had already been well thought out during the planning stage, so I could look forward to the journey. The train arrived at the station on time, which saved me a lot of stress. The interior of the train was modern and well maintained, which made the journey much more comfortable. I particularly liked the quiet atmosphere and the pleasant lighting, which created a relaxed mood. The seats were comfortable and offered enough space for me to enjoy the journey, even on longer journeys. During the journey, I was able to watch the beautiful scenery through the large windows, which made the time fly by. The staff were very friendly and helpful and always responded to questions in a friendly manner. The technical functions, such as the working doors and the clean toilets, were also very satisfactory. There were no delays or disruptions, which speaks for a well-organised journey. I really appreciated the environmentally friendly alternative to travelling by car or plane, as I was able to read, work or simply relax during the journey. Overall, the train journey was a positive experience that I would do again at any time.

IC was a bit full

I travelled by train from Amsterdam Centraal to Berlin Hbf on 4 June 2024. The reason for the journey was a private visit to Berlin. After weighing up various options, including a flight and long-distance bus, I deliberately opted for the train journey as it is more environmentally friendly and also offers a relaxed way of travelling through several cities. The chosen connection with the IC 241 was the best option in my eyes, especially as it offered a direct connection without changing trains. My journey started in the early afternoon, at 15:59 to be precise, and ended in Berlin at 21:51 in the evening. Overall, the journey was pleasant, especially due to the seat reservation in 1st class, which offers a much higher level of comfort than 2nd class. However, the train was quite full, which was particularly noticeable when boarding and in the aisles. The cleanliness of the train was mostly okay, and the toilets were also reasonably well maintained. On a positive note, the train was equipped with power sockets, which I used to charge my devices. Unfortunately, wifi was either not available or very unstable, which made it difficult to use. There was an on-board restaurant, but I didn't use it on this journey, so I can't give a rating for it. The train arrived in Berlin on time, which was a positive surprise considering the frequent delays on long-distance trains. The service on board was polite and helpful, but also somewhat reserved - there were hardly any announcements or active staff in the carriage. The ticket price was €123.80 for two people in 1st class, which I think is fair for this route and the comfort on offer. Overall, the price-performance ratio was good, especially compared to other means of transport and considering the journey time and comfort. Overall, I was satisfied with the journey. The favourable price and the direct connection clearly speak in favour of the train journey. The only thing that was less good was the high capacity utilisation of the IC, which was somewhat unexpected in 1st class.

I travelled from Amsterdam to Berlin with Deutsche Bahn, a long but direct connection. The train started on time, the seats were comfortable and I was able to use the time to read. Unfortunately, there was no wifi or it was unstable. The toilet was clean at first, later less so. Positive aspects were the quiet compartment and the friendly service. Negative was the long journey time compared to the flight. Overall, however, a relaxed, environmentally friendly journey.

Disadvantages

Comfort

I recently took the ICE from Amsterdam to Berlin. The journey itself was very pleasant. The ICE was on time and you didn't have to change trains the whole way! The service on the spot as well as online was excellent! Unfortunately, the journey was not really pleasant and comfortable due to the high volume TV in the ICE. However, the ICE was hygienic and clean.

Advantages

Comfort

Disadvantages

Travel

Some time ago I took the train from Amsterdam to Berlin... The ICE was clean. The journey was very comfortable due to the cosy seats and the pleasant volume. Unfortunately, the wifi went down more often and the journey was very drawn out due to bad weather, as we had to deal with long delays...

Advantages

Quick

Disadvantages

Expensive snacks

Few snacks

My train journey from Amsterdam to Berlin was a pleasant experience overall. The trains were good, equipped and clean and there was enough space for passengers and luggage. In addition, the seats were comfortable and there were plenty of sockets for charging devices. During the journey, I was able to enjoy the beautiful scenery and see many interesting towns and villages along the way. However, there were limited snack options during the journey and the prices for food and drink on the train were relatively high. It is therefore advisable to take snacks and drinks with you in advance. Overall, it was a pleasant and efficient way to travel and I would definitely recommend the train journey from Amsterdam to Berlin.

Advantages

Storage space from the suitcases was good this time

Disadvantages

None

I really like the fact that there was wifi and power sockets on this train. The seats were quite comfortable, as usual, and other things were normal. The toilet was very clean, I was very surprised about that. There was enough space for the suitcases. The price was right. I was very satisfied. 5 stars

Advantages

You get from A to B

Disadvantages

None

I think it's good that there was wifi and power sockets on this train, because otherwise the journey would have been pretty boring. The seats were quite comfortable as always and other things were quite normal. The toilet could have been cleaner, but was ok. The price was right. I was very satisfied.

Advantages

Drive

Disadvantages

Nothing

Since me and a friend went to Amsterdam for the weekend to take some time off, we bought the return breit's with it. Buying the tickets was quite easy & the price wasn't really overpriced either. The train arrived at the station on time. The journey was quite pleasant and wifi gave up a bit, but the sockets were functional. Volume was very quiet and you could actually take a nap. The hygiene was also much better than the other DB trains. I was pleasantly surprised as everything ran as you would expect. Highly recommended!

A few days ago I took the ICE from Amsterdam to Berlin... The train ride itself was totally comfortable. The journey lasted just over 4 hours and we were not delayed. Wifi was fine, the seats were comfortable... The toilets could be a lot cleaner though.

Advantages

Train was clean

Staff was very nice

Disadvantages

Train was too late

Did not have free wifi

Unfortunately, I didn't have any equipment on this train journey, because there was only one socket at my seat and free wifi wasn't available either. But the seats were very comfortable and the volume was at room volume, which is quite normal. I was also pleased with the friendliness of the staff and the toilets were perfectly clean and the train looked so good. But the train was much too late, about 20 minutes, and I couldn't make my connection. But there's nothing bad to say about the price-performance ratio, it's good to travel with.

Advantages

Very clean

Really nice staff

Good comfort

Very modern equipment

Disadvantages

The price was quite high

My train journey from Amsterdam to Berlin was positive for me overall. I was impressed by the modernity of the train's interior. The seats were comfortable and the ability to use the wifi during the journey made the journey pleasant. The generous legroom was also great. The staff on board were friendly and helpful. They were ready to answer any questions. The cleanliness of the train was also satisfactory. Both the seats and the communal areas were well maintained. However, in terms of value for money, there is room for improvement. Although the journey was pleasant, I felt the fare was a little high compared to other modes of transport. This could be a factor especially for young travellers on a limited budget. Despite the expensive fare, the positive aspects of my train journey from Amsterdam to Berlin outweigh the negative ones. These features made the train journey a really nice experience. However, with possible adjustments to the ticket prices, this journey would have been even more attractive.

Advantages

Very clean

Nice staff

Good equipment

Acceptable journey duration

Disadvantages

Ticket too expensive again

My experiences on the return journey from Amsterdam to Berlin on the train were again very varied. The cleanliness of the train was again consistently positive, and the well-maintained compartments created a pleasant environment. The seating comfort was further optimised and the legroom was fantastic. There were also plenty of power sockets, which was very practical. The interior of the train on this return journey impressed once again. Modern extras such as improved wifi were also available again. The journey time was reasonable and the train was not delayed. However, a recurring point of criticism was the price-performance ratio. The ticket prices still seem far too high. The service on board was also friendly again. All in all, the return journey from Amsterdam to Berlin was similar to the outward journey. I would therefore recommend the train journey again.

Advantages

Stress-free and calm

Disadvantages

Arrived with slight delays

Departure on 17/02/2023 on time at 17:10 in Amsterdam Central (ICE 241, track 10a) - change in Hanover from late arrival 21:24 (track 9) to departure 21:31 (ICE 645, track 9) - arrival Berlin HBH/Ostbahnhof 23:23 I had a seat carriage all to myself and the silence coupled with the soft comfort seats made me doze off for a moment. The toilets were clean and the conductor was super nice. All in all top!
