The connection was the best option for me to get to my destination, especially because I was able to travel through without changing trains. The train was on time, which I found very positive. The wifi worked for the most part, but there were brief dropouts from time to time. The toilets were okay, but could have been a bit cleaner. The onboard bistro was available, but quite expensive. Overall, the comfort was good, but not quite at the level I had expected.

I was really pleasantly surprised at how punctual the train was, unfortunately I don't always experience that, but this time everything worked out perfectly. The journey itself was pleasant, with enough space, comfortable seats and clean toilets. Some of the views en route were really nice, especially in the quieter areas. The service was also friendly and present without being intrusive. I thought the value for money was absolutely fair. The only small drawback was that it was quite noisy in the carriage at times, which made it a little difficult to relax. Nevertheless, I would travel the route again at any time.

The journey was really pleasant: the train was on time, which I really appreciated, and it travelled quickly and quietly. Everything was clean - both the seats and the toilets made a neat impression. I particularly liked the friendly service, the staff were helpful and professional. I was able to really enjoy the journey and arrived in Stuttgart feeling relaxed. For me, it was an all-round successful train journey.

The bistro was well equipped with fair prices. The value for money was right and I liked the view. Simply top!

I travelled back from Hamburg to Stuttgart by train and the journey was more pleasant than the outward journey - the train wasn't as full. You had the flexibility to sit wherever you wanted. It was pleasant, it just wasn't too crowded. I didn't make a seat reservation I didn't need to, but if some of you are worried you can reserve a seat. The price of the return journey was much cheaper than the outward journey, I saved a lot. I would recommend this trip to my friends and family.

The journey from Hamburg to Stuttgart was relatively short at just under 8 hours. The ticket wasn't very expensive either and I didn't have to change trains either. The seats were very comfortable and the facilities were adequate. Unfortunately, there was no restaurant on the train, which I didn't like because of the long journey. Otherwise, the staff were very friendly and the train was relatively clean. Everything in the toilets worked and looked hygienic. We arrived in Stuttgart without any delays. Overall, I can therefore recommend the journey.

Disadvantages
IconNo bistro
The connection was logically chosen, but unfortunately there were delays during the journey due to some problems. The comfort was okay, but nothing special. There was no bistro on board, which was disappointing on a journey like this. The toilets were usable but could be cleaner. Noise level in the compartment was borderline, lots of conversations and phone calls. At least the train was on time on arrival. Compared to the car, you are more relaxed, but it wasn't really convincing this time.

Disadvantages
IconThere was little room for the suitcases
I think it's good that there were sockets and wifi on this train, otherwise the journey would be a bit boring. The seats were as usual, quite comfortable and other things were normal. The toilet could have been cleaner, but it was ok. The price was right for it. I was very satisfied.

Disadvantages
IconTrain delay
There was only one thing I didn't like, which is why it gets four stars, and that's the delay of the train, but there were many more positives and the best thing was the good-humoured, friendly and nice staff. Then I also really liked the food. The cleanliness throughout the train is also very noteworthy. I had multiple access to electricity at my super comfortable seat. Despite the delay, I'll pass on the trip as it was the only negative thing.

Overall, the journey was pleasant and comfortable, but unfortunately the train was not quite on time. I boarded the train in Hamburg-Altona and was pleasantly surprised by the cleanliness and modern design of the train. The seats were comfortable and there was enough space for my luggage. The wifi also worked perfectly, so I could work without any problems during the journey. Unfortunately, the train was a few minutes late, which meant that I missed my connecting train in Stuttgart. That was annoying, but I have to say that the announcements and information from the railway during the journey were very clear and understandable. We were also offered a replacement train straight away, so in the end I only arrived at my destination with a small delay. All in all, my experience with the train journey from Hamburg to Stuttgart was positive, even though the train was not quite on time. The comfort and facilities of the train were good and the staff were friendly and helpful. The delay was annoying, but the railway managed the situation well and quickly offered me an alternative solution.

The train ride was really nice. With good wifi and a power socket, the journey was really nice and easy to complete. I had a very comfortable seat. Unfortunately, the noise was very unpleasant as some passengers could not behave. They were very loud. The nice staff was very overwhelmed with this and therefore did not offer me any catering. I had a reservation option, which I also used. I got information on the train. The toilets were clean and I did not have to change trains. The train was on time and the price-performance ratio is OK. However, I would not buy it again.

Comfort is very well equipped, as there is a power socket connected to the seat. It is a pity, however, that the train was delayed and it was not possible to catch connecting trains. In addition, the restaurant on the ICE was not so well equipped.
