The train journey from Kassel to Frankfurt am Main was one of the best I have experienced so far. The train arrived very punctually and there were no problems with the seats I had reserved.

It was actually a very nice train ride, but the train arrived too late, it was a very stuffy air in the train and also very crowded, which is perhaps why the air there was not so good. Nevertheless, we had free wifi and enough sockets. The toilet was also very clean, which surprised me a lot, and the seats were also very comfortable. In addition, the conductor was very nice and the train was generally very clean.

I took this ride because I flew from Frankfurt airport and the ride was great. The incredible thing is the price, it only cost €17.90, which is amazing.

The seats were very comfortable and there were also tables where you could eat or put something down. I always knew where I was at the moment because it was on a table. The price alone is a reason to recommend the ride. Great ride and also punctual, as the train arrived on time.

I travelled from Kassel to Frankfurt on the Regionalexpress 30. It was a relaxed journey because the train was not full and I got a seat. The cleanliness of the train left something to be desired.

All in all, an unobtrusive and practical connection that I can recommend.
