A solid train journey with some minor compromises. The journey was fast and reasonably priced, with a good view from the window. The volume in the carriage was fine, but the comfort of the seats could have been better. Also, the wifi was only stable in sections. Nevertheless, the train was a better option than a long car journey.

I am completely satisfied with the train journey. Boarding went smoothly, my seat was free, clean and comfortable. The journey was pleasantly quiet, the wifi was stable this time and the punctuality was also very good. I was particularly impressed by the friendly and well-organised staff. This is how travelling by train should always be.

I was generally satisfied with the journey. The train was on time, clean and pleasantly quiet. There was enough space and working wifi, which is a plus for me. The toilet was also clean and well equipped. The only thing I had to swallow was the price: I thought the ticket was simply too expensive for a journey of less than 2 hours. With a saver fare it would have easily been 5 stars. Otherwise I can recommend it!

I was able to travel from Frankfurt to Stuttgart quickly and without changing trains. Although the train was full, there was a pleasant and quiet atmosphere in the passenger compartment. It was also very clean and the seats were comfortable. Although there were power sockets, the internet did not work. The staff were friendly and the on-board bistro was open. Unfortunately, the train was slightly delayed by 10 minutes, but I didn't find this tragic. The ticket price was fine. Overall, I can recommend the journey.

The journey was flawless. I had my bike with me and was pleasantly surprised at how easy it was to load and park it in the bike area. There was enough space, nothing was overcrowded and the racks were stable. Everything else went smoothly too. The train was on time, clean and at a pleasant temperature. I also found the announcements clear and helpful, especially with the connection information. Definitely a recommendation for cyclists.

After landing at Frankfurt Airport in the morning, we decided to spend a day in Frankfurt. In the evening we travelled back home by train. We were a little worried as we were travelling quite late, but we still decided to take the train, which was a very good decision. The train arrived very punctually and, as almost the fastest means of transport on the route, got us to our destination comfortably and on time. The train was very clean, albeit a little older. The staff were very nice and courteous.

Unfortunately, the train was quite full and therefore quite noisy. The air conditioning was set too cold. The wifi didn't work at all and the toilet wasn't particularly clean. At least the connection was direct and the train was on time. The seats were ok, but nothing special. Compared to travelling by car, it was still more relaxed because I could just sit.
Advantages

I definitely recommend this train trip. The staff were very friendly to me. The train also arrived on time. The train did not go too fast or too slow. There was a lot of space at the seat. The seats were also comfortable. The wifi was very good, although many passers-by used it. The food was very tasty. The heaters were on, so the temperature was very pleasant. It was a great journey and the train was also very clean.
Advantages
IconThere was a TV
Iconplenty of room for luggage
Iconcosy place
I travelled in second class. There was a lot of choice on the menu and there were also foreign dishes. There was a lot of space for luggage and travel bags. The amazing thing is that there was a television. My seat was very comfortable. The whole train was very clean. This trip is highly recommended.

This ride was very pleasant because it was not too fast and not so slow. Then I sat down in my comfortable seat and ordered something to eat. The prices on the menu were okay, but the food was very tasty. Then I had a toilet ride and I was amazed at how very clean the toilets were. I really enjoyed this trip, so I'm passing it on.

My train journey from Frankfurt am Main to Stuttgart was alright overall, but also had some minor inconveniences. On the positive side, the train departed and arrived on time. The journey time was reasonable and I had enough time to reach my destination. The seats on the train were averagely comfortable and offered enough space to stretch out during the journey. The train route itself was scenic for the most part. I was able to enjoy some beautiful views of the surrounding area and that was definitely a plus. However, there were also some aspects that I have to criticise. The train looked a bit outdated and could have used better maintenance. The cleanliness on the train also left a lot to be desired as there were some dirty areas. The customer service on board was average. The train staff were not particularly friendly or helpful. The range of snacks and drinks was also limited and the prices were excessive. The noise level was bearable where I was, but unfortunately there were also some chaotic people. All in all, my train journey from Frankfurt to Stuttgart was acceptable but not outstanding. There is room for improvement in terms of the condition of the train, cleanliness and customer service. If these points could be improved, I would certainly recommend the train journey more.
Advantages

I can only report positive things about this trip. The journey from Frankfurt to Stuttgart was very pleasant and went smoothly. Unfortunately there was no wifi, but that was not so bad.

Advantages

Disadvantages
IconNone
I was very satisfied with the train journey from Frankfurt am Main main station to Stuttgart main station. The journey was very pleasant and the ICE arrived on time. For just under €60, I think the price is justified. I can't say anything negative about the journey. Hygiene as well as cleanliness on the train were satisfactory and although it was winter, the train was not too cold. I would recommend the purchase.

I have to travel this route regularly for work and am basically very satisfied with the duration and the comfort that the ICE offers. Unfortunately, it is not always possible to work in peace and quiet, but that depends a lot on the people around. Overall, it is faster and more pleasant than by car.
Advantages

When I got on the train, the timing was good, the people were respectful, the workers did their job, the food was clean, the toilets were clean, every step was full of disinfectant because hygiene is important, I ordered a burger for myself, it was very fresh and tasty, I wish everyone a healthy life.

We set off from Frankfurt in the direction of Stuttgart with a delay of just under half an hour. Fortunately, there was only one stop, which made the journey quite pleasant. It was a pity that the air conditioning failed at times, which was quite unpleasant in the summer temperatures. Otherwise, however, the journey was very nice and we were able to enjoy the scenery. The wifi was good, as was the hygiene.
Advantages
IconGood wifi
IconFavourable
IconEasy booking
Disadvantages
IconSlight delay
IconDirty toilets
What I really liked about this train journey with Deutsche Bahn from Frankfurt to Stuttgart was that I reached my destination in the shortest possible time. Another positive aspect is the free wifi, which allowed me to watch videos. Other points are the easy online booking and that I didn't have to change trains. One negative point was the slight delay of the train. Another point I didn't like was the dirty toilets.
Advantages
IconSimple booking
IconCheap
Disadvantages
IconUncomfortable seats
I really liked the journey because the ticket was easy to book and it was cheap. Another thing I liked was that I didn't have to change trains and my destination was reached in no time at all. I also liked the cleanliness of the train and the well-functioning wifi. However, I didn't like the fact that the seats were quite uncomfortable.
Advantages
IconVery quiet
IconClean
Disadvantages
IconWifi was not so good
I travelled for almost two hours on the ICE 693, which was very tidy and I didn't want for anything. The journey was very pleasantly quiet, even at the beginning when everyone had to sit down. The wifi wasn't strong enough for me to watch a film or series, but I was still able to work well with it. I thought it was great that it didn't shake so much, so I was able to concentrate fully on my work. As I said, it was also super clean in my compartment
Advantages
IconNo delay
IconFast wifi
Disadvantages
IconMediocre hygiene
The toilets and the whole ICE were a bit dirty, not that it was bad, there was just a bit of wet soil on the floor from the passengers' shoes. In my opinion, the train number was ICE 573 and the journey took about an hour and a half. And I didn't have to change trains.
Advantages
IconBest alternative to driving a car
Disadvantages
IconEverything very dirty
I normally travel by car, but as it's currently in the workshop, I had to take the ICE 593 to Stuttgart. The hygiene was a disaster. My seat was wet and the floor was dirty. Nevertheless, the price makes it the best alternative to travelling by car. Incidentally, the journey took 1 hour and 20 minutes and I didn't have to change trains.
Advantages
IconNo delay
IconGood service
Disadvantages
IconExpensive price
My journey to Stuttgart went smoothly, no delays and good service. The train number was 577 and I happily sat at the window. After 1 hour and 30 minutes I arrived without having to change trains. Unfortunately the price was a bit expensive for the short journey. The toilets were nice and clean. When a wheelchair user boarded, nice staff came to help immediately.
Advantages

IconPunctual
Disadvantages

Iconwifi
The journey from Frankfurt am Main to Stuttgart was very pleasant and trouble-free. The train arrived on time in Frankfurt and also left the station on time. The on-board bistro was expensive, but had a sufficient selection of products and was well equipped. I booked a few days in advance and this went smoothly. The station in Frankfurt was very crowded and noisy and the internet on the train unfortunately left a lot to be desired.
Advantages
IconPrice
Disadvantages
IconDelay
I travelled from Frankfurt to Stuttgart by train. Unfortunately, the journey didn't get off to a great start as there were delays. Once I arrived on the train, I had a positive impression. The train was very clean and well maintained. The on-board staff were very nice and helpful. The food offered on board was delicious, but unfortunately overpriced. I would still take the train instead of the car. So a connection that is worth recommending
Advantages
IconFast drive
Disadvantages
IconService was okay
The journey of 2.5 hours was actually quite relaxed for me as someone who often drives long distances, but the service was moderate. The ticket inspectors were rather rude and gave the impression of being in a bad mood. Nevertheless, all in all I was actually quite happy with the journey and was able to enjoy a nice time in Stuttgart without being completely disappointed
Advantages
IconFlexibility with Flexticket
Disadvantages
IconQuite expensive
The journey from Frankfurt to Stuttgart was quite comfortable. Because I had booked a flexible ticket, I was able to spontaneously arrive at the station earlier than planned and take an earlier train, as I didn't have a train reservation. My reservation was then cancelled and it was not an ICE train, but an IC. However, it was still comfortable as I was given a very quiet seat in a small compartment. The train was punctual in departure and arrival, so I was very satisfied overall.
