Advantages
ComfortPunctualityCleanlinessgood internetThis was a very pleasant journey in second class. I am happy to recommend this journey, as I did not notice anything negative. My train arrived on time, I also arrived on time. My seat was comfortable, which again improved my journey. The internet was good, so I was able to use my mobile phone without any problems and also charge it as there was a socket by my seat. The staff did a good job. The train was clean and so were the toilets. Overall, a very good journey.

PriceThe train ride from Berlin to Leipzig really impressed me! The facilities were great, wifi and power sockets, what more could you ask for? The comfort was also great, comfortable seats and space for the legs. The service on board and the cleanliness also scored points. The only catch: it was a bit more expensive, but honestly, it was worth it. The journey time went by really quickly, thanks to all the comforts. If you're willing to invest a bit more to travel in style, this ticket is definitely the way to go. I would definitely take it again.

Travel timeOn long train journeys, I always find wifi, seats and power sockets very important. On this journey, the wifi was very good, so I could do my work during the journey. The seats were comfortable and the staff were very nice and helpful. All in all, this was a very pleasant train journey with no major faults. The train was very clean.
Advantages
Punctual departure and arrivalTrain has not been too crowded and quietWifi was workingDisadvantages
Price could be a little cheaperI travelled from Berlin to Leipzig by train, this worked without any problems. The seats were OK, the toilet was usable and clean. The wifi also worked. Despite Bahncard 25, I paid almost 20 euros, which could be a little cheaper. Otherwise, punctual journey without changing trains. Can be recommended in any case.
Advantages
StaffDisadvantages
SeatsDelayAs I was invited to an event in Leipzig, I booked with a ticket where I wanted to travel by ICE so as not to be late due to delays. For the price, I found the ticket quite alright. The facilities were very well designed. The wifi strength was the best and the sockets by the seats also worked well. There were a few stressful discussions about the seats because something was mixed up. The service was great! The staff was super friendly and helped with every question. I was not surprised by the hygiene, because the hygiene of the ICE has always been clean. The journey time was very quick and we arrived at our destination on time. Travelling with ICE for this low price is highly recommended!

The train arrived on time and I got on. The seats were comfortable, the wifi was good and I was able to charge my mobile phone and my laptop, thanks to a socket at the seat. The food was very tasty, you had a lot of choice of food and drinks, which were also offered at a good price. I am happy to recommend this trip.
Advantages
CleanlinessServiceBookingDisadvantages
PunctualityI travelled by ICE from Berlin to Leipzig at the time and had few complaints. The carriage was clean and the Deutsche Bahn staff were always friendly and helpful. The seats and the carriage were also clean and comfortable. There was plenty of room for suitcases and bags in the luggage compartment. Unfortunately, the train was a good half hour late and we only received information about this at the service desk. The booking was also very easy via the website...
Advantages
A stable internet connection on the trainBistro on the trainDisadvantages
No defects discoveredMy train was only five minutes late, which is actually quite ok, this train had a lot of extras, which surprised me positively, for one thing there was the stable internet connection as well as a power socket and all USB ports for various smartphones. My seat was quite modern, it had an adjustable armrest and you could also tilt the seat back. The staff were always present and helpful, a very successful train connection that I will repeat more often in the future. My conclusion, very fast and smooth.
Advantages
Short travel timeGood price/performance ratioFriendly staffDisadvantages
Nothing to noteI had to travel from Berlin to Leipzig at very short notice and decided to take the train, as the route by car always involves a lot of traffic jams. When I took the train, there were no problems at all and we were able to reach Leipzig on time. I think the price-performance ratio for this route is absolutely unbeatable and the journey by train was also very comfortable. The train is more than very clean and the staff is very friendly in memory. All in all, a very good journey - for me, the train is the first choice on this route.
Advantages
Very fast and reliableDisadvantages
Nothing I could find fault withI booked myself this train connection from Berlin to Leipzig with the ICE 803, the journey was short and very pleasant, and actually went quite quickly. My train arrived on time, which was very positive, and made a clean impression. The train had a snack machine as well as a coffee machine, so you could get a fresh coffee at any time. The walls, floor and seats were clean. The toilet was well cleaned and smelled pleasant. The staff were present and helpful. I reached my destination quickly and without any problems.
Advantages
Fast travelling timeDisadvantages
Poor wifiDirty central stationUnpunctual departureIf you take the train from Berlin main station, you have to be able to cope with the conditions at the station. The station is quite dirty and there are sometimes a lot of unpleasant people walking around. If you leave on time, you get to Leipzig quickly. But the train was pleasant and I had a comfortable seat. The wifi wasn't that great during the journey.
