I really enjoyed my train journey from Budapest to Vienna on the ÖBB Railjet RJ 1036. I had a good feeling as soon as I boarded the train at the station in Budapest: the train was modern, clean and offered plenty of space. During the journey, I was able to lean back and relax, enjoy the comfortable seats and the smooth ride. The view of the passing Hungarian and Austrian countryside was particularly pleasant - perfect for simply switching off. There was free wifi and a pleasant atmosphere on the train, so the almost two and a half hours wifi-ed by. I was also impressed by the on-board restaurant: the selection was good and the coffee was delicious. The punctuality of the Railjet RJ 1036 was also excellent - we arrived in Vienna on time, without any stress or rush.

I found the journey from Budapest to Vienna excellent. I didn't find the price of the ticket cheap, but not expensive either. I thought it was quite fair. The staff on the train were very friendly, polite and took a great deal of interest in my concerns. The wifi connection on the train was very efficient, which made it easier for me to work on my computer. Great attention was paid to hygiene. The toilets were very clean and well maintained. Unfortunately, there were a few transfers which made the journey more difficult. The reservation options were also not ideal. And the catering for seats was not very good either. As a result, I could see coffee stains on some seats. Overall a good journey as the good features outweigh the bad.

I travelled to Vienna on the ÖBB EC 40346. After a nice short trip in Budapest, I was very tired and wanted to relax on the journey to Vienna. The service on the train was really very good and I had a good time. You got delicious food on request and the train's wifi also worked well. I arrived at my destination in just under 2 hours and was very happy with the journey.

It was really easy to book tickets online! I booked seat 4 in carriage 2. The journey was very quiet and the staff were very nice as always! The seats were very comfortable. The train was clean inside, but the toilets were very unhygienic. As I didn't change trains once and travelled via Fischamend, Asfinag, Friedrichshof etc., I travelled for almost 3 hours in total. As always, the price-performance ratio is excellent!

The timetable was like this: I boarded the EC143 at 10:42 on 24 February. After about two and a half hours, I arrived in Vienna at 13:19 with a slight delay. The journey was very comfortable, I didn't have to change trains, the seats were comfortable, there was paid wifi and friendly staff. Unfortunately, the train was overcrowded and the toilets were locked. As a result, the noise level was not very adequate and the hygiene at the end of the journey was rather mediocre. The price-performance ratio was also not so good, it could be a little cheaper.

Train number EC 40347 travelled from Budapest to Vienna on 15 September at 19:42. The journey was without changing trains. Unfortunately, the seat reservation was cancelled due to the delay. The journey was also very comfortable, comfortable seats, as well as paid food, which tasted good and wifi and power sockets. The train was clean and hygienic, as were the toilets.

The journey from Budapest to Vienna was a pleasant experience for me overall. The staff on board were extremely friendly, helpful and made sure everything ran smoothly throughout the journey. The wifi connection on the train worked reliably, which allowed me to work, communicate or relax during the journey. The hygiene conditions on the train were good, providing a clean and comfortable environment. Moreover, the punctuality of train departures and arrivals was also commendable, which made it easier to plan my itinerary. However, I must mention that the comfort of the seats on the Budapest to Vienna route could be improved. The noise level on the train was occasionally annoying. It was also necessary to change trains during the journey, which required additional time and effort. Overall, however, the journey was pleasant and recommendable despite the negative points mentioned, mainly due to the excellent staff, good hygiene conditions, reliable wifi connection and punctuality throughout the journey.

However, the train did not arrive in Vienna on time. In addition, the noise level was not adequate and, disappointingly, the seats were not comfortable. But overall a good experience!

I travelled from Vienna to Budapest by train on 8 May 2024. On 9 May 2024 I travelled back to Vienna. The journey started at 17:40 and we arrived in Vienna at 20:20. Unfortunately, the journey was not as great as the outward journey to Budapest. It was pleasant and the train was well equipped, but the toilets were really dirty and the train smelt unpleasant. I'm really disappointed because I paid quite a lot for it.

My review of the return journey from Budapest to Vienna: The return journey was excellent! Everything went much better than on the outward journey.

All in all, a great experience - I'm happy to give it 5 stars! This experience made up for the mediocre outward journey.

The service was good, the staff were always friendly and polite and open to questions. The price of the journey was okay.

The journey from Budapest to Vienna really surprised me in a positive way. The journey was very quick and would have taken the same amount of time by car.

I travelled on the EuroCity train, which has the train number EC 100. The train left Budapest Keleti pályaudvar at 08:02 and arrived at Vienna Central Station at 10:39 after a journey time of around 2 hours and 37 minutes. The train's interior was a little outdated, which detracted from the overall impression. The seats were comfortable, but not particularly modern or inviting. There was plenty of space for luggage during the journey, but there were no power sockets at the seats, which can be impractical for travellers who want to charge their devices. The service on board was okay, but not outstanding. The staff were friendly but sometimes seemed overwhelmed, especially during peak times. There were no significant food or drink options on the train, which made the journey a little monotonous. A small snack or drink offering would certainly have enhanced the experience. However, the views during the journey were a highlight. The route leads through picturesque landscapes and offers a beautiful view of the Hungarian and Austrian countryside. The rolling hills and wide fields are a welcome change from the hectic city life. Overall, the connection from Budapest to Vienna with the EuroCity train EC 100 is acceptable, but there is definitely room for improvement. The punctuality of the train was positive and the journey time is pleasantly short. For travellers looking for a simple connection between these two cities, the train is a practical choice, but those looking for comfort and service may be disappointed.

I travelled from Vienna to Budapest on RegioJet 1068. The journey was direct, took 2:29 hours and was on time. The comfort on the Relax fare was excellent. Free water, clean facilities and working power sockets rounded off the journey. All in all, a very good service at a great price.

The train journey on Railjet 301 from Budapest to Vienna was simply fantastic! The train was super punctual and the whole journey was absolutely relaxed. The seats are very comfortable and offer enough space to feel at ease on the almost two-and-a-half-hour journey. I particularly liked the modern design of the train and the cleanliness. Everything was neat and tidy, from the seats to the toilets. The large windows offer a wonderful view and it was a pleasure to watch the scenery during the journey. The on-board restaurant was a real highlight! There was a good selection of snacks and drinks, and the service was fast and friendly. The free wifi also worked flawlessly, which is a big plus for me when I want to work or just do a bit of wifi while travelling.

This journey from Budapest to Vienna had been good. The train wasn't too crowded or noisy, so you could concentrate on your work. The train was clean and the toilets looked hygienic. I just didn't find the seats very comfortable. The tables were also far too small, so I found it difficult to put my computer up. Otherwise, the staff were friendly. There were also power sockets and internet. The train arrived on time and I didn't have to change trains in between.
Advantages
IconConnection without changeover
Disadvantages
IconDirty
A really practical connection from Budapest to Vienna. The train arrived very punctually and thanks to our seat reservation we didn't have to worry about anything. The train was very full, but the journey was still very pleasant and quiet. We travelled for about three hours. There were toilets, which were really clean, and there was also the opportunity to buy something to eat or drink. The train was very modern, so you could also charge your mobile phone on the way.
