ReviewsReviews for the rail journey from Bonn to Hamburg

The customer opinion was acquired via Cimenio. Cimenio incentivises its users for giving an honest opinion and proving the booking with a photo of the travel ticket.

Pro

The facilities: There was wifi and a power socket at my seat

The good and nice service

The comfortable seats

Cons

The volume due to a large family

The duration of the journey

The high cost of the ticket

My experience on the train journey from Bonn to Hamburg was ambivalent. On the positive side, the train was definitely well-equipped with wifi and a power socket at my seat, which made the journey pleasant and productive. The comfortable seats also contributed to a comfortable experience and the friendly train staff created a positive atmosphere. However, these benefits were marred by some inconveniences. The noise on the train, caused by a large family, detracted from the tranquillity and comfort of the journey. Better control of the background noise could improve the travelling experience for all passengers. I found the journey time to be a little long, which made the journey less time-efficient. Another critical point was the comparatively high cost of the train ticket. Compared to other modes of transport, the prices seemed relatively high to me, which affected the overall value for money. Despite these shortcomings, I was able to enjoy the journey for the most part thanks to the good facilities, comfortable seats and friendly service. However, more effective noise control, possibly through reservation areas, and consideration of improving the journey time would make the train journey from Bonn to Hamburg much more appealing.

Pro

Nice staff

Good comfort

Practical equipment

Very clean

Cons

High ticket price

Train delay

My train journey from Bonn to Hamburg was a really nice experience, the cleanliness throughout the train was extremely good, the equipment, especially wifi and power sockets, was available and I was able to use this practically very well for working. The service and staff were also extremely nice, always helpful and courteous. However, the train was unfortunately a little late, which delayed my arrival in Hamburg, the ticket price was also extremely high, which limits the price-performance ratio quite a bit, but I would still say that it is fair, because as already mentioned, the comfort was good, the equipment was very modern, the service was just extremely nice and the cleanliness was really excellent. So I would say that the train journey was a really successful journey. I think I would also recommend it to others as it is the most environmentally friendly - and also a really relaxing way to travel.

Pro

Good direct connection

Punctual arrival

Cons

Wifi not stable

I travelled from Bonn to Hamburg and then on to Fehrmarn-Burg and am satisfied. At just over 4 hours and 10 minutes, it was a punctual train journey. You can't do that by bus or sometimes not even by car. Only the wifi was not stable, so I kept having problems working with my laptop.
