Pro

Good internet

Relaxed ride

Delicious food

This ride deserves a 5 out of 5 star rating, this was a very relaxing ride, no one interrupted, the seats were very comfortable, the food was also very tasty, there were also vegan and vegetarian dishes. The best thing was that the internet was very stable, although a lot of people used it, so I could also do my work on the computer.

Pro

Ticket prices

Service

Cons

Volume

Value for money was reasonable as the ticket prices were fair. The service on board was good, the train staff was friendly and helpful. The equipment of the trains with power sockets and wifi was a plus point for travel comfort. The cleanliness in the trains was okay, but could be cleaned better in some places. The punctuality of the trains was acceptable overall, but there were occasional delays that upset the timetable somewhat. It would be desirable for the trains to arrive on time more often. Nevertheless, connections were regular and well coordinated. Loudness was slightly louder in class 2 than in class 1 and a bit annoying. The train journey from Munich to Hanover offers a comfortable way to travel between the two cities. The seats were comfortable enough for a longer journey and offered enough space. The scenic beauty along the route was also a plus.

Pro

Good staff

Cons

Sometimes too late

When I got on, I immediately saw that there were sockets and bins by the seats. The service was very friendly and offered to disinfect my hands, which says it was very hygienic. Toileting was also very relaxed, all very clean. The seats were comfortable, the food was very good and the volume was very pleasant. The price-performance ratio was very good. And there was no need to change planes.

Top equipment, Elan free of charge and power socket next to the seat. The seats are very comfortable and there was a relaxed atmosphere on the train. The service is also very friendly and top.

Dear Sir or Madam, Now I would like to make my train journey with Deutsche Bahn. Recently, I have not been very happy to travel with Deutsche Bahn. Nevertheless, there are some positive aspects that I would like to mention at the outset. The volume in the train was reasonable and I felt comfortable. In addition, there was no need to change trains, which made things a lot easier, as it is time-consuming to change trains. The wifi was excellent. My mobile phone and laptop were able to connect to the internet very quickly. The staff were also very friendly. The ticket check was very quick. They dealt with my concerns quickly and with great interest. However, the price was a bit too expensive, in my opinion. The seats were very comfortable, but not very clean. So I could find coffee stains or traces of food leftovers everywhere. The toilets were also not very clean and hygienic. So this train journey with Deutsche Bahn was not very great. But still satisfying.

Pro

Cleanliness

This was a ride in which I can see no weakness, inside. The train was neither too fast nor too slow, so the ride was very pleasant. The train was very quiet and I was able to do my work on my laptop, also thanks to the great wifi. There was a lot of attention paid to hygiene. I had enough space for myself and also for my luggage. The food was delivered quickly and was also delicious. The staff were very nice. I rate the journey with five stars and I must also mention the punctuality.

I recently took the ICE from Munich central station to Hanover central station. The four-hour journey could have been more pleasant... Unfortunately, the wifi in the ICE didn't work.
