Advantages
Quiet rideGood serviceDisadvantages
Longer waiting timesThe journey back from Munich to Hamburg by Deutsche Bahn went relatively smoothly except for minor delays. In 1st class, it was very quiet overall. There was also more legroom than is usual in second class. So it was worth it for the long journey. The journey took an estimated 7 hours.
Advantages
It was comfortableDisadvantages
The toilets were very fullI travelled by ICE from Munich main station to Hamburg main station on 24.7.2023. It took 6.5 hours. Unfortunately, the wifi didn't work very well. Unfortunately, the whole trip was very expensive (€87.60). I hadn't reserved a seat, but there were still plenty of free seats.
Advantages
Train equipmentDisadvantages
ExpensiveThe train ride from Munich to Hamburg was overall pleasant and comfortable, the train offered enough seats and the interior was clean and well maintained. A plus point was the free wifi on board. The train staff were friendly and the service was satisfactory. There were regular announcements about the next stops and possible delays, which made it easier to plan the journey. The travel time from Munich to Hamburg was reasonable. However, changes were necessary, which made the journey more uncomfortable. I found the price performance to be fair.
Advantages
Comfortable ride, despite the long distanceWell-equipped on-board bistroNice staffDisadvantages
Slight delayMy husband and I celebrated the turn of the year in Munich. Because of the bad weather, we decided at short notice to take the train instead of the car for this long distance - a very good decision! The train journey was very pleasant and both the outward and return journeys were quick and without complications, except for a slightly delayed departure in Munich, which didn't bother us at all.
Advantages
Good comfortGood equipmentDisadvantages
Slight delayThe train journey from Munich to Hamburg was very pleasant. We had a really nice seat in one of the newest trains. It was practical that every seat had a power socket and that there were lots of luggage racks. So you didn't always have to lift your heavy suitcase over you onto the high shelf. The on-board staff was very friendly. Otherwise, the train was slightly late, but that was ok. All in all, a recommendable trip.
Advantages
ICE train journey very pleasantGood legroomPleasant atmosphere / volumeDisadvantages
Duration of the trip (7 hours)Poor wifiToilets not quite cleanThe journey with the DB ICE from Munich HBF to Hamburg HBF was very pleasant on the whole. There was nothing to complain about in terms of comfort. The noise level on the train was pleasant. What was also good was that there was free wifi and a socket per seat. However, the wifi was a bit poor. The toilet was also not entirely hygienic/clean. Nevertheless, a trip that was worth the price.
Advantages
SimpleDisadvantages
DelaysI got on my chosen train, sat down and didn't have to do anything else. Everything was totally relaxed and easy to understand and handle, whether young or old. I didn't even have to change trains. At the seat itself, you have plenty of space, your own table and a power socket. There is even wifi on every train. The on-board bistro offers a wide selection of delicious dishes, including vegetarian and vegan.
Advantages
CleanlinessEquipmentDisadvantages
TravelSome time ago, I travelled from Munich central station to Hamburg.
There were a few delays on the approximately seven-hour journey.
Unfortunately, this made the journey not very pleasant. Hygiene in the ICE was top notch, though!
The equipment was also very good, the wifi worked great and the seats were also very comfortable. The on-board staff were also very friendly.
Advantages
Fast arrivalDisadvantages
NoneI travelled by ICE from Munich, the train arrived on time as planned and also arrived in Hamburg as planned. In terms of comfort, the seat was very comfortable and the seats and tables were also very clean. The service was also very friendly. The train atmosphere was also quite nice, it wasn't so loud and I didn't feel disturbed or uncomfortable. Recommended for everyone on a short trip.
Advantages

ServiceMy train journey from Munich to Hamburg was very great! The journey was very comfortable. The seats were comfortable, the train was clean and the wifi was good.... The volume on the train was also very good. We were also on time! Only unfortunately the service was not so good, as the staff was a bit overloaded...
Advantages
PersonnelDisadvantages
NoneI rate the trip as a very positive experience overall. The staff were really very wifi friendly and there was good wifi reception. There was also excellent hygiene throughout the train. Another advantage is that it was very quiet on the train and there was a pleasant atmosphere. The ticket price is also very fair. Due to the very comfortable experience, I can recommend the train connection.
Advantages
ComfortablePunctualDisadvantages
NoneThe train journey was very pleasant and relaxing. I had a lot of legroom, which I personally value very highly. I also had a small table where I could eat and work. Working wifi and power sockets also made it possible for me to work during the journey. The seats were comfortable and I didn't have any back problems. I can only recommend it!
