PunctualityMany peopleMy train journey from Bielefeld to Berlin impressed me in many ways. The wifi on board was really good. I could finally get my work done while enjoying the picturesque scenery. The cleanliness of the train also deserves recognition. A clean train simply makes the journey more pleasant.
What struck me, however, was the lack of punctuality. Likewise, the train was often quite full, which was sometimes a bit cramped.
The staff on board were always helpful and friendly. They did their best to help passengers and answer questions.
Advantages
Beautiful viewGood serviceClean toiletsDisadvantages
People were too loudThe train journey from Bielefeld to Berlin was a pleasant experience. The train was clean, comfortable and on time. The seats offered enough space and the journey was quiet. The scenery along the route was very beautiful, overall a recommendable travel option for the connection between these cities. However, I have to criticise the people who also travelled on this train, who were too loud.
Advantages
Travel time (punctuality)Equipment (wifi)ComfortDisadvantages
CleanlinessMy train ticket from Bielefeld to Berlin was really a good choice! The journey went quickly, the train arrived on time, which was great. The wifi facilities made the journey pleasant, I was able to stream my series. The comfort was also top, comfortable seats and enough legroom. But, here comes the "but", the toilet on the train was unfortunately not completely clean and there was no toilet paper. That was a bit annoying, but I got over it. Overall, the journey was really pleasant and the small inconveniences didn't ruin the positive impression. I would definitely book the ticket again.
Advantages
CleanPunctualityDisadvantages
Unstable internet connectionI recently had the pleasure of taking a train journey from Bielefeld to Berlin and would like to share my experience. Overall, it was an extremely pleasant journey, although there was one small weakness.
One of the most remarkable positive features of this train journey was undoubtedly its reliability. The train left Bielefeld on time and even reached Berlin a few minutes earlier than expected. This reliability was extremely impressive and enabled me to arrive smoothly without stress.
The cleanliness of the train also deserves recognition. The carriages were spotless and the seats, tables and floor were immaculately cleaned as well as the toilets were always in an acceptable condition, which made the journey pleasant.
Unfortunately, there was one small disappointment during the journey, the internet. The available wifi was weak and unstable. This made it difficult to use online services, especially if you wanted to work or talk. An improvement of the internet connection would be desirable to optimise the distance for business travellers and anyone who wants to be online during the journey.
Overall, my train journey from Bielefeld to Berlin, was extremely pleasant and the positives far outweighed the limitation of the weak internet.
The punctuality and cleanliness of the train make this connection a recommendable option for travellers between these cities. I am already looking forward to my next trip.
Advantages
Good wifiDisadvantages
Seats uncomfortableTo get to Berlin, I took the train and there are many positive things to tell. So I found the facilities quite complete, there was a power socket at almost every seat and wifi was also available. The volume on the train was reasonable, but the seats were a bit uncomfortable. I also have to criticise that one of the staff seemed as if he didn't want to help me and I found that quite unappealing.
The hygiene was so mediocre because the seats were a bit dusty. The train arrived on time and the price-performance ratio is also very good. So all in all, a good trip.
Advantages

DelaysTrain cancellationsI have always been satisfied with my journeys with Deutsche Bahn. The trains are clean, the staff are nice, the seats are comfortable and big enough, there are power sockets, there's wifi and, above all, it does a lot to protect the environment. You can just lean back and don't have to do much. Unfortunately, there are often delays or entire train cancellations. Nevertheless, it's good value for money.
Advantages
Fast connectionComfortable seatsWifi on boardfavourable priceDisadvantages
Delay of 30 minutesThe direct ICE train connection from Bielefeld to Berlin is very convenient. You get on at the station and arrive in Berlin-Spandau on schedule after two hours and twenty minutes. In my case, there was a delay of thirty minutes due to people on the track, but I felt well informed.
The seats have enough legroom, it's quiet and the wifi works well. There was also one power socket per double seat in second class. The toilets were very clean.
All in all, I am very satisfied, and the super saver price is also good value for money.
