Pro

Cleanliness

On time

Cons

Expensive

The train was extremely punctual, clean and the seats very comfortable. Overall, there is nothing to complain about on the journey. The route is a short one that is easy to travel by train. The quality of the wifi was poor, as usual, so I didn't use it, partly for security reasons.

Pro

Train was air conditioned

Wifi and power sockets were available

Train was on time

Cons

Train was a bit crowded

Today I took the ICE from Göttingen to Hamburg to go shopping. The ICE was fully air-conditioned and had a power socket at every seat. There is an on-board bistro for the small appetite in between. The train has wifi and several toilets. The conductors were nice and knowledgeable. Seats can be pre-booked via the app.

Pro

Direct journey

No delay

Cons

None

The journey from Göttingen to Hamburg on the ICE was a direct journey. I didn't reserve a seat and still got one. Basically, the journey was excellent, as the journey time was extremely short. It was also comfortable on board. The train had power sockets and free wifi. I was therefore able to work on my laptop during the journey. I am satisfied with this journey.

Pro

Very punctual

Very clean

Functioning toilets

Cons

Prices in the restaurant very high

The journey on the ICE from Göttingen to Hamburg went smoothly. The wifi on the train was a little underpowered, but it worked. The sockets also worked. Another positive aspect is that all the toilets on the train worked and were hygienic. The train was also very punctual and was not late. The catering on offer was again very varied and even included vegetarian and vegan dishes. Unfortunately, the price-performance ratio was not right, as the portions were really very small. The ticket price was fair and acceptable. You don't have to change trains between Göttingen and Hamburg if you're travelling on the ICE. As always, the seats were very comfortable, wide enough and available. It would have been possible to reserve a seat.

Pro

Good service

No delays

Cons

None

I travelled from Göttingen to Hamburg on a direct ICE train. The train set off on time and also reached its destination without delay. The service on board was good, as all the staff were friendly and helpful. Cleanliness was obviously a top priority, as the train was almost clinically clean. For the most part, I was very satisfied with this journey.

Pro

Historic train

Punctuality

Service

Cons

Bistro had to

I travelled from Göttingen to Hamburg on the ICE and have to say that I was really delighted with the journey. The service was excellent, as the staff were always friendly and open to questions. Although the train was historic, I found it to be technically flawless and, above all, clean. Unfortunately, the bistro was closed that day. Otherwise an impressive travelling experience.
