Poor hygieneMy journey on the FlixTrain from Hamburg Hbf to Hanover Hbf was very pleasant overall. I found the quiet atmosphere on the train particularly positive - no loud conversations or disturbing noises, which made the journey relaxing. The train arrived on time and also departed on schedule, which is a big plus for me. The staff were friendly, helpful and approachable, which I wouldn't necessarily have expected from such providers. Once again, the price was also very reasonable, especially compared to other means of transport on this route. However, there was a slight downer in terms of hygiene - the cleanliness of the toilets left a lot to be desired. Nevertheless, the advantages clearly outweigh the disadvantages for me and I would use this connection again at any time.

The train arrived on time and reached its destination without any delays. I particularly liked the clean carriages and the well-kept toilets.

ExpensiveI travelled by ICE from Hamburg to Hanover on 09/08/2021. The journey went smoothly. The delay at the end was only minimal. The wifi on board worked great and I was able to use the time to watch a film with my family. In general, I think the experience of travelling on an ICE train with children is much better than travelling on a crowded regional express train. The children had fun and my wife was happy.

PunctualityMy journey with FlixTrain was very pleasant overall. I travelled at lunchtime, which I particularly liked because it was quiet on the train. The stable wifi connection allowed me to watch videos on the go without any problems. The seats were comfortable, so I was able to relax and enjoy the journey. The hygiene conditions on board were also impressive, everything was clean and tidy. The staff were friendly and helpful, which made me feel safe. The only downside was that the train didn't arrive on time and I therefore arrived a little later than planned. Otherwise the trip was great!

All in all, it was a very pleasant, stress-free and comfortable journey that I can recommend at any time.
