ReviewsReviews for the rail journey from Granada to Madrid

The customer opinion was acquired via Cimenio. Cimenio incentivises its users for giving an honest opinion and proving the booking with a photo of the travel ticket.

Advantages

Punctual

Disadvantages

rude staff.

For the most part, I was able to experience advantages on the journey. These included the fact that the train was on time, that it was very clean and that there was a good network. The only downside was that the staff were very rude and blocked any attempt to ask for help. The value for money was very good in my opinion. Despite the staff, I can give the train journey four stars.

Advantages

Few passengers

Disadvantages

No wifi

Toilets closed

In contrast to other journeys I've had, this was one of the worst. The toilet was blocked, there was no wifi and there was a short delay. Apart from all the negatives, the comfort was quite good and so was the service. I didn't have to change trains on the journey from Granada to Madrid either. The journey took about three and a half hours and the train I travelled on was the Ave 2348. Everything was also well cleaned.

Advantages

Delay

Disadvantages

WIFI

The journey was already very long anyway, as we still had stops in between. Unfortunately, the train was almost 25 minutes late. The comfort inside was already there, but the wifi was not so fast and stable that day. It was relatively very hygienic.

Advantages

Punctuality

Disadvantages

No negative aspects

The outward journey to Granada was very pleasant. My train left and arrived exactly on time. The staff made a very professional and friendly impression. It was clean and the toilets were relatively hygienic. Booking the ticket via the Lufthansa website was very easy and went without a hitch. I give my final review 5 stars.

Advantages

Punctuality

It was clean

Disadvantages

There were actually no negative aspects to the train journey. The train arrived on time and I had a seat to myself. The wifi was very good and I was able to watch a film and relax. The staff were always helpful and very friendly. I changed trains once and my train number was 09366. The train journey took about four hours.

Advantages

Clean

Nice staff

Favourable

Punctual

Disadvantages

Had to change trains once

The return journey from Granada to Madrid on train number 1239 was very good overall, but there was one small drawback. The journey time was about 4 hours and 30 minutes and I had to change trains once, which made the journey a little awkward. However, the train was comfortable and on time, and the facilities were excellent. The cleanliness was also top notch. Despite the change, it was a pleasant journey and I can recommend it!

Advantages

Faster than by car

Favourable price

Comfortable

Disadvantages

No weakness

Instead of hiring a car, we opted for the train to Madrid, as it is A) cheaper and B) much quicker with a journey time of approx. 3:30 hours for 400 km. With the Renfe, you also travel direct without changing trains. The seats were very comfortable, there was plenty of legroom and the train was in good condition. I can only recommend this journey to anyone and I would use it again and again.

Advantages

WIFI

Disadvantages

All in all, the train journey with train number 1329 was good. The journey took 3.5 hours and ran largely on time. Changing trains went without a hitch, although it took some time. The seats were comfortable and the train was mostly clean, but not completely clean. There were no major disruptions when travelling. A good journey overall, although the changeover and journey time required a little more planning. I was able to work and plug in my laptop. The food was good.

Advantages

Punctual

Disadvantages

Comfort

All in all, the train journey with train number 1947 was good. The journey took four hours, which was a little long. The train was on time, but the seats were not particularly comfortable. There weren't many delays, but in between there were some minor problems with the air conditioning. There was a nice view, but the train was unfortunately very crowded. All in all, it was fine, but I hope it will be a bit more comfortable next time. The wifi was very fast. There was no bistro. But excellent wifi and a power socket.
