Berlin to Basel train with ÖBB | ICE

I travelled from Berlin to Basel in the morning on the FlixTrain and was pleasantly surprised overall. The price was unbeatable, especially for such a long journey. The staff on board were friendly and helpful, which made the journey very pleasant. I particularly liked the fact that the train departed and arrived on time - I've had different experiences with other providers. The wifi connection was stable enough to work and stream music on the move without any problems. The only real downside was the cleanliness: the toilets could definitely have been better maintained. Overall, however, I enjoyed my journey with FlixTrain and would happily travel again!

My journey with the FlixTrain from Berlin to Basel was very positive overall. I was particularly impressed by the favourable price - really unbeatable for such a long journey. The cleanliness of the train was surprisingly good, both the seats and the toilets made a well-kept impression. The wifi also worked reliably and quickly over long distances, which I was able to use well for working. The seats were comfortable and offered enough space, which is really pleasant for longer journeys. The only real drawback was the volume - sometimes it was quite noisy due to conversations, announcements or noises from outside. Nevertheless, I would choose the FlixTrain again for this connection, as the comfort and value for money were right for me.

I travelled on the FlixTrain connection from Berlin to Basel in the morning and was very satisfied overall. The hygiene on the train was surprisingly good, the toilets were clean and the carriage made a well-kept impression. The seats were comfortable and offered enough space, even for a longer journey, so that I could sit comfortably. I found the comfort during the journey particularly pleasant, as it was quiet and the air conditioning was set to a comfortable level. The staff were friendly and helpful, so I felt well looked after. The train was also on time, which gave me planning security. One disadvantage, however, is the price, as the journey was more expensive than I would have expected from FlixTrain. All in all, a great journey!

Overall, I enjoyed the journey on the FlixTrain from Berlin to Basel. I particularly liked the beautiful view during the journey, as you can look out of the window and enjoy the scenery as it passes by. The seats were surprisingly comfortable and offered enough legroom for me to sit comfortably for long periods of time. Another plus point was the free wifi, which was mostly stable during the journey, and the cleanliness of the train, which left a positive impression. The price was also really favourable compared to other providers, which made the journey even more attractive. One disadvantage, however, was the punctuality, as we arrived in Basel a little late, which was a bit stressful. It was also quite noisy on the train at times, which sometimes interfered with a relaxed journey. Overall, I would still recommend the connection if you are looking for a cheap and comfortable way to travel from Berlin to Basel.

The train journey in first class from Berlin to Basel felt special right from the start. My seat was comfortably wide and there was a quiet, relaxed atmosphere in the compartment. I had a clear view out of the window during the journey. The wifi was very stable and I had power sockets at my seat. Everything seemed clean and tidy, the announcements were clear and there were no delays on the journey. I arrived in Basel relaxed and without any problems.

The return journey from Berlin to Basel in first class on the ICE was really pleasant and relaxing. As soon as I boarded, I noticed how well maintained and clean the carriages were, which made for a positive first impression. The seats offered plenty of space and comfortable upholstery, so that even after several hours on the train, my back and legs were not uncomfortable. I particularly liked the quiet atmosphere in the carriage. The on-board staff were friendly and always ready to help. The wifi and sockets worked reliably. I also arrived on time. I can only recommend first class for longer journeys like this, as it really makes a noticeable difference in terms of comfort and service and makes the journey much more pleasant.

I really enjoyed the return journey from Berlin to Basel in first class. The generous amount of space was noticeable right from the start, offering significantly more room than in second class, which was particularly welcome on a longer route like this. The seats were well upholstered and allowed me to sit comfortably even after several hours without getting uncomfortable. Another strong point was the quiet and relaxed atmosphere in the carriage, which allowed me to really relax, whether by reading, listening to music or just enjoying the passing scenery. The train staff were consistently friendly, attentive and went out of their way to make the service as pleasant as possible - drinks and small snacks were brought quickly without being intrusive. The reliable power sockets at every seat and the stable wifi were also practical, allowing me to get some work done in between. Overall, the journey left a very comfortable impression and I would choose first class for this connection again at any time, especially when it comes to getting to my destination in a relaxed and stress-free manner.

It had been quite relaxing on the ICE. The staff checked tickets in a friendly manner and greeted people in the corridors. The on-board bistro was open and the staff were also friendly and prepared food quickly. In my compartment, however, many of the available sockets did not work. The internet, on the other hand, worked perfectly. The train was very clean, as were the toilets. The train itself was very quiet. The train was about 10 minutes late at its destination.

The wifi worked well on the train from Berlin to Basel. The seats were comfortable, but it was a bit too noisy.... Otherwise, friendly staff and good service. Hygiene standard impeccable. Price-performance ratio very good. I would recommend it to others. The facilities are great. The cleanliness too. The train was very punctual.

Even though I was ultimately over 6 hours late at my destination, it was a worthwhile experience. Despite the challenges posed by cancelled trains (a storm and vandalism were the cause), I am a rail fan. Of course, we didn't have a reservation for the train that took us out of Berlin. While the second class in Berlin Südkreuz was partially evacuated with police assistance due to overcrowding, we were even allowed to sit on the floor in first class. In Leipzig, the issue of partial evacuation was repeated, fortunately we were again left unmolested and were even able to get two seats for the family. Fortunately, thanks to the massive legroom in the wide seats, it is no problem for four people (with two children) to share two seats. All in all, despite the circumstances, for me the best option for travelling from Berlin to Basel.

I was satisfied with my journey on the ICE 278 from Basel to Berlin. I was particularly impressed by the punctuality and the generally clean condition. However, the seats were not particularly comfortable for the long journey. The on-board restaurant was of good quality. Both the booking and the check-in process were smooth and uncomplicated. Overall, a recommendable experience for travellers who value a smooth process.
