MonotonousBoringThe journey from Dortmund to Stuttgart with the ICE is very relaxed, a nice comfort, the seats were very comfortable and I had wifi as well as sockets at my seat, so I could run up my mobile phone all the time during the journey. The seats were all very clean and hygienic. Value for money was rather expensive as a flight would be much cheaper. The journey was very pleasant, it was a direct connection, I didn't have to change planes or anything like that. The service was also very nice, there was a food section on the train where you could buy food as well as drinks. The staff were also all very friendly and nice.

The comfort was good, the noise level was pleasant and the catering was excellent. The service was always helpful and friendly. Unfortunately, the cleanliness was not good as the toilets were not clean, as is often the case. On the other hand, the duration of the trip was really good and it wasn't that expensive.
