Poor price-performance ratio

However, the unreliable air conditioning clouded the overall impression. The service on board was positive, but the choice of catering options during the journey was limited. The cleanliness of the train could be improved as some areas did not appear to be adequately cleaned and detracted from the travelling experience. I also felt that the value for money was not optimal. The ticket price seemed rather high compared to the amenities on offer. Some felt the cost was not justified given the inconveniences experienced. The longer journey time was also perceived as a negative point. Overall, I think there is potential for improvement to make the train journey from Berlin to Amsterdam a more pleasant one.

The journey time was reasonable and the punctuality impressed positively this time. The panoramic views during the journey were also really nice to look at.
