The train journey from Munich to Darmstadt went okay overall. The train was on time, which made the journey pleasant. The cleanliness of the toilet facilities was acceptable, but there is room for improvement. The comfort of the seats was average and the staff were always present and helpful. The availability of power outlets was present, which made it possible to work while travelling. Seats were comfortable, but wifi connection issues occurred, which affected the use of online services. Overall, an average train ride, but room for improvement in cleanliness and wifi.

I am a regular customer of Deutsche Bahn and therefore decided to travel with them from Munich to Darmstadt this time as well. The first thing to mention is the friendliness of the staff. They checked the tickets in a nice way. They greeted their customers and addressed them politely. The price of the ticket also excited me, because in my opinion the price was cheap compared to other providers. I'm train was very calm and pleasantly quiet. Unfortunately, there were some transfer necessities that made the journey difficult. Also, the train did not arrive in Darmstadt on time. The train was delayed by about thirty minutes. In addition, I noticed that the seats on the train were not well maintained. This is because I could see old chocolate stains or food residue. All in all, a satisfactory journey.
