I really liked the fact that I could buy the ticket very easily. I also liked the fact that the train wasn't delayed and I didn't have to change trains. Another point I liked was the good wifi, which allowed me to watch films. However, I didn't like the fact that the train was quite full.

I travelled to Munich on the ICE 595 and was quite happy that I got there very quickly. Unfortunately, the wifi hardly worked or it took ages before I could even use the web browser. Otherwise, the service was very nice to me and everything went really well

This weekend I travelled from Frankfurt to Munich to visit a friend. The ICE 627 arrived on time in Frankfurt and the journey from there took just over 3 hours. The journey was very pleasant and I really have nothing to complain about. The staff were friendly and the bistro was fine. I was pleasantly surprised by the hygiene of the toilets and otherwise the ICE was clean all round. A great journey.

The train journey from Frankfurt to Munich was an extremely good connection, as the train only took just under 3 hours, which I would describe as very fast. Coffee was served at your seat, which speaks for a good service. The price of the journey was also very good. The train was also well equipped and had very comfortable seats. Fortunately, there were no delays.
