The train ride from Cologne to Koblenz on the ICE 23 was quite pleasant. There were beautiful views along the Rhine. The train was punctual throughout and the journey time of just under an hour was quite reasonable. What bothered me a bit was that the toilets were not really clean. The service was good, the staff was very friendly.

Disadvantages
IconToilets were not clean
The train went straight through to Koblenz without changing trains. It was very relaxing, especially as the train was not very busy, which could be due to the fact that the train was quite long. Everything on the train was very clean, except for the toilets. There were power sockets and an internet connection on the train. It was very quiet in the passenger compartment and there were informative connection announcements. The staff had been friendly and even offered a drink from the service area. The train had been on time so far and got me from A to B safely.

I took the train back to Koblenz with my 49-euro ticket, as I had made a day trip. Fortunately, I was able to relax for the entire journey and had no stress, but the comfort level may still leave a little to be desired.
