The journey in the ICE 13 was very comfortable and cosy. I had a seat reservation and could comfortably charge my mobile phone from a socket during the journey. I also used the wifi hotspot, which also worked without any problems. The toilets could have been a little cleaner.

Disadvantages
IconHomeless people searched the train for deposit bottles
The night train journey went smoothly and the train was on time. A positive aspect was the almost empty compartment at that time (01:00). The cleanliness was good, except for the overflowing bins, which is normal at this time of night. The journey itself was very pleasant and quiet. The only negative point were the homeless people, who inconsiderately searched for deposit bottles, but left us alone. For the one-way train connection, however, the journey is recommendable.
