This train journey was really great. Boarding was quick, my seat was comfortable and the windows offered a great view. Wifi worked well throughout and the on-board bistro had everything I needed. The staff were friendly and even helped me with my luggage. I haven't travelled this comfortably for a long time.

The train journey was pleasant all round. The train departed on time and also arrived on time. The seats were comfortable and there was plenty of space. The wifi worked well, so I was able to spend the time working. The cleanliness of the train was excellent and the atmosphere was calm. For me, it was a relaxed and stress-free journey that I would book again at any time.

The train connection was the best way to get into the city. No searching for a car park, no traffic jams. The journey was quiet, with great views through rural areas. Seats were great, power socket and wifi worked. There was an on-board bistro with coffee and hot meals. Everything was clean, even the toilets. The price-performance ratio was absolutely fine. Clearly more comfortable for me than the car.

The train journey was pleasant overall. We departed on time and also arrived on time. The seats were comfortable and the carriage looked well maintained. I was able to work well as it was pleasantly quiet. Unfortunately, the air conditioning was a little too cool at times, which became uncomfortable over time. Nevertheless, the journey was relaxed and efficient. I would definitely use the connection again. The price was also very fair.

Unfortunately, this train journey was frustrating. The train was very late without any clear information. It was noisy during the journey and there was hardly any space as many standing places were occupied. The air conditioning didn't work properly, which was very uncomfortable in the heat. The car looked old and run-down. The only plus point was that at least I arrived without having to change trains. All in all, a journey I wouldn't want to make again.

I travelled to Stuttgart for an excursion and chose the train as a means of transport as it is relatively inexpensive and environmentally friendly. The best thing was the comfort and the noise level of the train, it was pleasantly quiet. Only the sockets at the seat were a bit worn out. I travelled in the morning so that I could get as much out of the day as possible. The journey was comfortable, the toilets and the train were mostly clean. Only the Wi-Fi was a little unreliable from time to time. I felt the train was on time and I didn't use the service on the train, so I can't judge the on-board restaurant, which was available. My ticket cost around €40 thanks to a discount promotion, which I think is fair, especially for a total of 3 people, 2 of whom have a BC25.

My train ticket from Hanover to Stuttgart was really well thought out! The wifi and power sockets were very practical, I could work and charge my devices without any problems. I was pleasantly surprised by the cleanliness of the train and the service was really great. The staff were super friendly and helpful, and also kept us well informed. But yes, the only catch was the price, it was a bit more expensive. But if you are willing to pay a bit more for convenience and good service, then this train ticket is definitely a good choice. I would still take it again because of the great facilities and friendly staff.

Disadvantages
IconUnfortunately a little late
We reached Stuttgart with a delay of about 35 minutes. This is annoying, but it also happens with other means of travel and therefore I find it okay in view of the cheap train tickets. As the seats on the train are very narrow, I book my seat plus the next seat from the start. This only costs a few euros and allows for a relaxed journey and is still cheaper than other means of travel. Friendly staff and the internet worked. The train was noticeably older but cleaned. I don't think there is much to complain about for the price and will gladly travel by train again.

I had the pleasure of travelling from Hanover to Stuttgart by ICE train last year and I can only say that it was a great experience. The modern interior of the train was impressive. There was even free wifi which was a big plus for me as someone who is always online. The seats on the train were extremely comfortable, which made the long journey very pleasant. I also had the option to book my seats in advance via the internet, which helped to make the journey stress-free. The staff on board the train were also very friendly and helpful. They were always ready to answer questions and look after the well-being of the passengers. passengers. The cleanliness of the toilets on the train was also remarkable. They were always well maintained and well equipped, which is particularly important for longer journeys. Unfortunately, the train arrived a little later than planned, which was a bit of a downer. However, I have to say that this was only a small interruption in an otherwise very pleasant journey.
