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

A very beautiful route

Reliable

Fast

Booking the ticket was easy, the DB app is really well done. The train arrived on time and made a very good impression. There were enough seats for wheelchair users and the doors were very wide. I quickly found my reserved seat, which was tidy, clean and very well upholstered. The toilets on the train were often free and very well cleaned. The DB staff were able to answer all my questions and were always friendly. The scenery was wonderful to enjoy during the journey. I reached my destination quickly and was very satisfied with this train connection.

Advantages

Comfort

reliability

Work ideally possible

Disadvantages

Draught from the wind

Volume

Passengers are not asked to move their bags

The wifi worked perfectly and was extremely fast. The sockets also support fast charging. The volume could be improved, I changed seats a few times, but it is due to the acoustics of the room on the train. The seats are very comfortable (2nd class). Catering in the restaurant was not very satisfactory for me. I wasn't eating meat at the time and the vegetarian options were few. The price-performance ratio was okay, the ticket was good value. But also a fast connection.
