Advantages
SmellDisadvantages
StaffI took the ICE from Dortmund to Münster and unfortunately had to say that the train was over 30 minutes late. When I finally arrived and boarded the train, an unpleasant smell was already making itself felt. The toilet was apparently defective and the door to the passengers was open. I was glad to get off the train again. The journey was simply torture for me. The seats were clean and tidy. The on-board staff apologised. At least a little understanding.
Advantages
CleanlinessStaffConnectionDisadvantages
WIFIComfortBoard bistroFacilities: The train offers wifi and power sockets, but the stability of the wifi is sometimes a problem.
Comfort: The seats are averagely comfortable, but the selection in the on-board bistro could be more varied.
Service: The train staff is friendly and helpful, and you can reserve your seats in advance.
Cleanliness: The train and WCs are clean and well maintained, but there are occasional problems with the cleanliness of the WCs.
Travel: There is no need to change trains on the direct connection from Dortmund to Münster, and the trains are usually on time.
Value for money: The value for money is reasonable, but the comfort of the seats could be improved.
Advantages
Pleasantly relaxedDisadvantages
Actually noneBooking the online ticket was quick and easy. I printed out my ticket and made my way to the main station. Once I arrived at the platform, thanks to the good signposting, the train arrived on time, which made a tidy and clean impression. I quickly found my seat on the train. There was a practical folding table, as well as clean and comfortable seats. Wifi, electricity and a snack machine were also on the train. The windows were clean, so you could watch the scenery very well. I arrived at my destination quickly and was very satisfied with this connection. Therefore, I would like to recommend it to others.
Advantages
Fast and cleanDisadvantages
NoneI use this connection very often and wanted to rate it here.
The train is 90% on time. It is usually clean and comfortable.
Unfortunately, there is no wifi connection, but there is a power socket. There was no crowding, so everyone got their seat.
The toilet is clean and tidy.
The connection is quite fast, so you can reach your destination quickly. My recommendation.
Advantages
YesDisadvantages
YesThis trip was just a dream. The wifi was fine, as were the sockets and the volume. The seating was excellent. The staff were very friendly and were always about hygiene. In the WC I was not so enthusiastic, but it was quite alright, the prices were also justified.
Advantages
Nice and quiet rideDisadvantages
The train was a little lateWhen I took the train from Dortmund to Münster last week, the train was slightly delayed, but this did not prevent me from changing trains in Hamm.
The journey was very pleasant and also quiet. It took a good half hour.
Toilets were nice and clean, sockets were available and therefore I could work with my laptop in peace. The staff were super nice and I think the price for a half-hour ride is absolutely justified and I would book the ride again every time.
Advantages
CosyQuickFriendly staffWIFISocketsDisadvantages
PriceI recently had the opportunity to travel by train from Dortmund to Münster. In general, the journey was pleasant and I arrived at my destination on time. The train was on time and the train was clean and comfortable. The staff were friendly and helpful. However, I have to say that the price for the ride was not particularly cheap. I felt it was a little too expensive compared to other train journeys I have taken. However, it is understandable that train companies have to cover costs, but I think there are ways to make the costs cheaper without it being at the expense of the passengers. Overall, the train journey from Dortmund to Münster was pleasant, but the price was a little too high. However, I would do this train journey again if I had the chance, as it was reliable and comfortable.
Advantages
On timeCleanlinessComfortableDisadvantages
PriceNo food or drinkI was recently on a train journey from Dortmund to Münster and unfortunately have to say that I was disappointed. The price was not as cheap as I had expected and I thought I would get more for my money. Nevertheless, the journey was on time and there was enough space to sit. The train was clean and comfortable, but I didn't think it was appropriate that there was no option to buy something to eat or drink. There was no cafeteria or snack car and I had to go the whole way without food. Overall, the train ride from Dortmund to Münster was okay, but I think there are better options for the price. There are other train companies that provide more offers and services for passengers, including food and drink options. So next time I think it will be a better option for me to choose another train company.
Advantages
On timeCleanQuickWIFISocketDisadvantages
PriceI recently took a trip with the ICE from Dortmund to Münster and am overall satisfied with the experience. The train was on time and got me safely to my destination. The train was modern and comfortable, with comfortable seats, air conditioning and free wifi. In addition, the journey was very quiet and relaxing, which allowed me to read a book or work while I was travelling.
However, one negative point was the price, which was not very reasonable. I found that I paid a higher price than expected for the services I received. It seems like the train company offers a premium experience, but it wasn't necessarily a fair price for me.
All in all, it was a good train ride, but the price was a bit disappointing. I think I may consider another travel option in the future to see if there is a better alternative. Nevertheless, it was an enjoyable experience overall and I would probably do it again if the situation calls for it.

Unpunctual at departureStopovers were necessaryThe train journey from Dortmund to Münster was satisfactory overall, the equipment was modern and comfortable ä, the seats comfortable and clean. The service was friendly and helpful. Overall a good experience. The wifi was very fast and the toilet and the rest of the interior of the train were very well cleaned. However, the train had to change trains once and was delayed by 3 hours at departure. Nevertheless, the price-performance ratio was right. The staff were very friendly and helpful. However, I would have liked to see more bins.
Advantages
PunctualDisadvantages
CleanlinessFirstly, I would like to say that the train was on time to the minute. The only downside is that, unfortunately, no real attention was paid to cleanliness. But to continue on a positive note, I would like to praise the relaxing atmosphere and pleasant volume. I can also only say good things about the price. The journey took about 30 minutes and was very pleasant. I recommend it!
Advantages
PriceShortDisadvantages
NoneThe journey was very short and pleasant! There was plenty of seating, which was also very comfortable. There was wifi, but it didn't work, which wasn't a problem as the journey was very short. There was no need to change trains and I was able to travel through. The train was tidy and clean, I saw a toilet but didn't use it. My favourite thing was the value for money.
Advantages
PricePersonnelVolumeHygieneDisadvantages
Booking optionsNeed to changePunctualityThe trip was a positive experience overall. Particularly noteworthy was the extremely attractive price, which made the journey particularly appealing. The reasonable volume on the train created a relaxed atmosphere and the always friendly staff contributed significantly to our well-being.
The cleanliness of the train, especially the extremely well-kept toilets, deserves a special mention. The seats on the train were comfortable and well maintained, which further enhanced the comfort of the journey. However, the reservation process turned out to be somewhat complicated when it came to choosing seats.
A small limitation was the number of transfers on this comparatively short route, which some travellers may find a little inconvenient. The train also did not arrive on time. Despite these small areas for improvement, the overall experience remains positive and the journey will be remembered as a success.
