Overall, the journey on the ICE was pleasant. I was able to sit comfortably, the wifi was stable and the atmosphere in the carriage was calm. However, the heating was a disadvantage. Its setting was too strong for me, which is why it became a little uncomfortable over time. Nevertheless, I found the journey pleasant, partly because of the friendliness of the on-board staff and their regular tours of the train. The announcements about intermediate stops were clearly legible and the hygiene on the train was also acceptable.

I prefer to use the ICE 549 for my regular journeys from Duisburg to Berlin. The direct connection without changing trains is a big plus point for me, as it makes the journey much more pleasant. The train is usually full, especially at peak times, which is why I strongly recommend reserving a seat in advance. On my last journey, the train arrived slightly late, but this was within reason and did not significantly affect my travel plans.

The train from Duisburg to Berlin was very full. The volume in the passenger compartment was also far too loud to relax. The train also arrived late in Berlin. There was a total delay of 65 minutes as the train had to be diverted. It was also very hot on the train, which made the whole thing much worse. Otherwise, the seats were very comfortable and there were plenty of power sockets and stable internet. The on-board bistro was open and the staff there were very friendly and apologised for the inconvenience. The ticket was relatively cheap and I didn't have to change trains. Unfortunately, due to the circumstances, I cannot recommend the journey.

IconToo cool
IconBistro too expensive
I travelled to Berlin to spend my free time there. I chose the ICE for the journey, as it was the fastest option. I looked at other options, but the ICE was the easiest. My journey starts in the morning, which suited me well. I particularly liked the speed of the connection. I reached my destination in a short time. The comfort on the train was also fine. There was a wifi function, which I also used. There was no entertainment and the sockets were damaged. There was an on-board restaurant but the prices were too high for me. The train was only slightly late and was generally quite punctual. The service was nice and friendly but I had no contact with the staff but the announcements were clear and informative. The train was also clean and the toilets were fine. My ticket cost me about 20 euros and I think the price was more than fair for the service
Advantages
Iconclean train
It was one of the best trips, it was clean and hygienic, uninterrupted internet and a generous weekend atmosphere, I forgot to look outside as I was having a great time. The mirrors in the toilets were clean. My food was delivered quickly and fresh. My coffee was very tasty. I enjoyed everything, as I liked everything, I can only recommend it. Great ride!
Advantages
IconThere was air conditioning
That was a journey in 2nd class. I travelled alone. What I liked best was the air conditioning, which made sure it didn't get too hot. It was very comfortable on the train and there was a table by the seat where you could eat. The staff were very friendly. My train arrived on time. I felt comfortable when I used the toilets. I can only recommend the trip as my ticket was also relatively cheap. Great food was also available.
Advantages
IconOn time
IconSeat found
IconFew passengers, train was empty
IconNice staff
IconDelicious food in bistro
Disadvantages
IconRelatively expensive
IconSlow internet
IconToilet was a bit dirty
The train was really pleasantly empty then and actually on time. I found a seat on the train itself, which made me happy. The train staff were very friendly and talkative, especially because of the Corona time. The journey was without any problems and we reached Berlin on time. The wifi was unfortunately not the best, despite a good connection, the internet was very slow. Unfortunately, the toilets were not completely clean either, there was a lot of rubbish lying around. Otherwise, the journey was really pleasant, the ride was quiet and relaxed, power sockets at the seat worked, the food in the bistro was delicious and warm and the train attendants were in a good mood, so the station announcements were listened to with pleasure. The trip to Berlin was for private reasons, so the price was a bit expensive by my standards, precisely because there was not much demand at the time. However, since there was no alternative means of transport and the car would have been much more expensive in comparison, the price-performance ratio is okay.
Advantages
Iconvery favourable
This was a very cheap ride, but provided a lot. I didn't notice anything that was negative, for a very cheap price everything was right. My train arrived on time and the wifi had full bars. The service was reactively reasonable for the price. It was quiet on the train. In addition, the staff were very nice. The toilets were also very clean. There is not one thing that was negative, so I am very happy to recommend the trip.
Advantages
IconThe friendliness of the staff
I really enjoyed the trip to Berlin. There was very good staff, so I enjoyed the trip. The food looked very tasty, which it was. I think there were also very tasty sweets on the menu. I also liked the ice cream extremely well. The internet worked very well, so I was able to download everything without any problems. The seats were also very comfortable. I also had a lot of space there. What really shocked me was that the staff were very attentive to hygiene. What was also very good was that my train arrived on time. I would gladly recommend it to others. The whole thing gets five out of five stars from me. I also felt comfortable using the toilets. The biggest reason why this ride gets five stars out of five is the value for money.
Advantages
IconAir conditioning
This is a relatively fresh ride, by that I mean I rode 10 days ago. I really only have positive memories. The staff were very friendly and my ticket was relatively cheap for a 2nd class journey. I still have a very positive memory of the toilets, as they were very cool in design. The air conditioning also worked without any problems. A journey that is highly recommendable. In addition, my wifi was great and it was quiet on the train.
Advantages
IconDrive
Disadvantages
IconDelay
I wanted to go to an old friend's house after Christmas because she was having an operation and I wanted to visit her. I got the ticket without any problems and the price was quite ok for a journey in the ICE. The seats were comfortable and the wifi had a good connection while travelling, the socket was unfortunately broken in my seat but it wasn't really tragic. One of the negative things was the hygiene in the toilet.... Beer bottle in the sink, painted walls and toilet paper everywhere. It was also disgusting and unhygienic. Despite these negative events, the punctuality was 10 times more unpleasant than the hygiene. We often had to stop on the way and we didn't get any clear information. Then I arrived later than expected and missed my bus. I would give it a -10 for the journey and the DB.
Advantages
IconHygiene
The journey was recent and was my outward journey, which I can recommend. I had wifi and a power socket at my seat. My seat was very comfortable and the train was very quiet. If you needed food, you were provided with it. The staff were very friendly and you had many reservation options. What was great was that we were always told when we were arriving, which I thought was great. It was also very hygienic and clean. The train was on time and we didn't have to change trains. The price/performance ratio is very good. In general, 5 out of 5 stars. Top!
Advantages
IconModern train
IconTrain was on time
IconNice conductor
Disadvantages
IconToilet ear dirty
First of all I have to say that I have to praise the equipment and the cleanliness in the train, because there were 4 sockets at our seat, free wifi and another table, it doesn't get better than that. The seats were comfortable and the train had a pleasant temperature. However, the toilet was the worse, there was no toilet paper and in addition the floor was smeared with toilet paper and so on and had to go in another compartment. Price was reasonable.
Advantages
IconGood price
IconOn time
Disadvantages

I travelled from Duisburg to Berlin on the Flixtrain and must say it was a pleasant journey. Google train has a power socket under my seat but there was no wifi. The service was also very good, the staff were very friendly and I was able to make reservations over the internet from the comfort of my own home. About the cleanliness. The toilets were not so clean, but the rest of the train was clean. Technically, the price-performance ratio was very good, I only paid 20€. The train was also only 2 minutes late, which was pretty okay. In summary, it was a trip that was very worthwhile for €20 and I can only recommend it.
Advantages

Disadvantages

The journey home started with a positive surprise: the train was on time to the minute. The cleaning staff also did a really excellent job.

The ICE was clean and quiet. The seats were as expected very comfortable with plenty of power sockets. The RE was a bit crowded (typical for Berlin) and therefore louder. We much prefer travelling by train to by car as it is simply less stressful.
