ReviewsReviews for the rail journey from Copenhagen 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

Service

Cleanliness

Cons

Crowded

We left Copenhagen on time. Unfortunately, a train ahead of us broke down, so ours was massively overcrowded. Accordingly, there were hardly any seats. So we were forced to sit on the floor for over 3 hours until we changed trains in Flensburg. It was an odyssey.

Pro

Environmental friendliness

Landscape

Price

Cons

Rail replacement service

Many transfers

Hardly any wifi in Denmark

Construction work in Denmark made my journey from Copenhagen's Sydhavn district to Hamburg more difficult - I had to change trains three times in total! The trains in Denmark seem to me to be a little more cramped than in Germany, and the wifi is also more limited, if available at all. Power sockets are also in short supply. I couldn't find a toilet on the S-Bahn, nor on the bus of the rail replacement service. Only on the Intercity from Korsoer did I find one that was okay. I was impressed by the multilingual announcements made by the train staff on the IC and the fantastic view as we travelled over the Great Belt. Without construction work on a direct train, the journey is more worthwhile, especially with an early-booked rail fare.

Pro

Spacious seats

Cons

Cleanliness

Overcrowded

On my train journey from Copenhagen to Hamburg, I enjoyed the comfort of Deutsche Bahn: Spacious seats and nice staff. It was dirty in my carriage. There were beer bottles and newspapers on the floor. The journey was longer than expected. The service was solid, but the price-performance ratio was not right.

Pro

Simple booking

Cons

Weak internet

Despite the weak wifi, I found the journey great because I was able to book the ticket easily and cheaply online. I also thought it was great that I didn't have to change trains and therefore reached my destination very quickly. I also liked the clean toilets.

Pro

Punctuality

Cons

Nothing

I would like to start by saying that the train was very punctual. The staff were able to help me with a problem and acted very calmly. The sanitary facilities were mostly clean, although some of the toilets had disgusting faeces. To cut a long story short, I would definitely recommend the trip and give it five stars. Fortunately, it was not necessary to change trains.

Pro

Simple booking

No change

Cons

Too expensive

What I really liked about the journey from Copenhagen was that I quickly found a ticket online that didn't require me to change trains. Payment was also flawless, but the ticket was quite expensive. Nevertheless, the journey was good and pleasant, as I reached my destination quite quickly. I also thought it was great that the wifi worked for the most part and the toilets were clean.

Pro

Nice staff

Punctual

Cons

The staff were very friendly to me. The journey took around 5 hours and from hour 3 I found the seats uncomfortable. But after a short "walk" I was fine again. There was a power socket and I was able to relax and work on my laptop because it was quiet on the train. The train itself was in a well-cleaned condition. The toilet was relatively clean, but smelled very unpleasant. We arrived at our destination station on time.

Pro

Fast arrival

Cons

Dirty toilets

This journey from Copenhagen to Hamburg really impressed me because I was able to book the ticket online and it was very cheap. It was also great that I was able to reach my destination in no time at all and didn't have to change trains. I was also particularly impressed by the good wifi, which meant I could watch films throughout the journey. Nevertheless, I found it a shame that the toilets were messy.

Pro

Clean

Nice staff

Quiet

Cons

Unfortunately 10 minutes too late

We arrived at our destination station, Hamburg Hbf, about 10 minutes late. The train staff were very friendly. The train was clean and in good condition, the seats were comfortable and the toilet was also very clean. Power sockets were available to charge my mobile phone. I didn't have to change trains and the journey took just under 5 hours. It was very pleasant that the train was very quiet.

Pro

Cons

None at all

What struck me immediately was that the staff were always friendly and helpful and made every effort to make the journey as pleasant as possible. In addition, the sanitary facilities and seating were extremely hygienic and clean. I was able to book the ticket in advance without any problems. Overall, I can only give the journey a full 5 stars.

Pro

Cons

Service Operation

On the train journey from Copenhagen to Hamburg I enjoyed the comfort and cleanliness, but the service could be better. The journey time was pleasant, but the value for money could be better. Overall a solid experience, although unfortunately the train was delayed.

Pro

Good wifi

Cons

Loud guests

The EC 399 departed slightly late from Copenhagen to Munich, I didn't have to change trains, which made travelling by train very pleasant. Thanks to the good wifi, I was able to do some work and wifi without any problems. The staff on the train were really nice and helpful. They helped me to find my seat.
