My journey from Hamburg Central Station to Amsterdam with Deutsche Bahn was really very good. The only criticism is the rather long duration of the journey. Otherwise, everything was very clean and tidy. The occupancy rate was negligible and you had almost free choice of seats. The seats were very comfortable and there was delicious food and drinks. There was also air conditioning. The internet was good enough.

In March I travelled from Hamburg to Amsterdam by train. The journey started on time in HH. The reserved seat was very comfortable and there was a power outlet to charge my laptop and mobile phone. In Duisburg I had to change trains. Here, unfortunately, the connecting train was a little late.

The train journey from Hamburg to Amsterdam was absolutely recommendable. The train equipment was modern and comfortable, with comfortable seats and enough legroom. The service on board was friendly and helpful. The cleanliness on the train was exemplary. The value for money was fair as the journey was both enjoyable and affordable. Overall, it was a smooth and enjoyable journey that I would gladly repeat.

I took the ICE to Amsterdam. It was a very comfortable journey, I travelled for about 4 hours. The price was €34.90, which is very fair, as there was also a power socket next to the seat and free wifi, which you could use the whole train journey. The service is really very friendly. The seats were very clean, the toilets were actually very clean too. I could recommend it to anyone to make a journey with the ICE.

My journey from Hamburg to Amsterdam was amazingly good. The staff were very friendly and polite. I felt like I was in good hands on the train. My concerns and interests were always dealt with. Maximum attention was paid to hygiene. The toilets and seats were well maintained and hygienic. The wifi connection was very efficient, stable and fast. I was therefore able to be productive during the journey and also work on my laptop. There were also few transfers, which made the journey easier as I didn't have to keep changing trains. However, the seats were not particularly comfortable. So I couldn't really relax during the journey. I found the price of the ticket a little too expensive. Unfortunately, the train didn't arrive in Amsterdam on time. But overall it was a great journey!
