NoneThe train ride with the ICE 512 from Munich to Mannheim was quite pleasant. The train was on time and well occupied, but not overcrowded. The seats were comfortable and spacious and there was enough room for luggage. The wifi worked perfectly and the staff were friendly. I can definitely recommend the ICE on this route.

NoneThe journey from Munich to Mannheim on the ICE 512 was a positive experience. The interior of the train was modern and comfortable. The seats were spacious and had enough legroom. The cleanliness of the train deserves extra praise. The journey was quiet and relaxed. There were no disturbances worth mentioning. I was also impressed by the quality of the on-board restaurant. There was a wide variety of food and drinks.
Advantages
Very quietOn timeDisadvantages
NoneI booked this trip via the DB Next site, which I think is clearer and more modern. Buying the train ticket was easy and reserving a seat afterwards was also possible. On this journey I had a seat in the 1st class rest area, which was hardly occupied and accordingly very, very quiet. The seats have 1 power socket for each seat and slightly more comfortable seats than those in 2nd class. The train left on time and arrived on time. The price-performance ratio was fine, with a journey time of a little less than 2h.
Advantages
On timeServiceDisadvantages
Dirty WCThe journey from Munich to Mannheim was on the ICE 512 in second class. The journey time of just under three hours was manageable. The service on board was good, coffee was served at the seat. On the negative side, the toilets were extremely dirty. However, it was clean at the seat itself. The train had no delays throughout the journey. Free wifi was available to passengers.
Advantages
ServicePunctualityCleanDisadvantages
NoneThe journey from Munich to Mannheim on the ICE 512 was quite pleasant. With a journey time of just under 3 hours, it wasn't really long either. In addition, the service was exemplary, as coffee was served at the seat. The train was not delayed for the entire journey. It was clean and hygienic on board, which also applies to the toilets. The wifi was available free of charge. Overall, I can recommend this connection.
Advantages
CleanlinessGood serviceDisadvantages
Minor delayThe connection from Munich to Mannheim was largely positive. The train was not too full and there were plenty of free seats, so a reservation would not have been worthwhile. Departure in Munich was on time, in Mannheim the train was very slightly delayed. The service on board was good, with coffee and chocolate served at your seat. The train was clean and well maintained, and the toilets were also well cleaned.
Advantages
Relaxed workingDisadvantages
NoneThe journey was very pleasant for working. You get from Munich to Mannheim quickly and can make the most of the time. The quiet compartments usually offer the ideal conditions for this. The traffic makes it a better alternative to travelling by bus or car, as there is no risk of traffic jams.
Advantages
Convinced with cleanliness and punctualityDisadvantages
Everything went smoothlyThe train connection was extremely punctual. The train arrived exactly at the specified departure time and reached its destination without any significant delays. The fare was reasonable for the services provided. The option to book in advance helped to secure a cheaper fare. The overall cleanliness of the train was very good. The compartments, corridors and toilets were well maintained. The toilets were in an acceptable condition, however more regular cleaning could be improved. The seats were comfortable and offered sufficient legroom. The backrest was adjustable, which further increased comfort. Overall, the ICE train connection was a pleasant travelling experience.
Advantages
ComfortCleanlinessNo delayDisadvantages
Poor wifiThe journey from Munich to Mannheim was made at breakneck speed on the ICE. It was quite pleasant on board, where cleanliness and comfort prevailed. This was particularly due to the air conditioning and the comfortable seats. There were no delays during the journey, so I reached my destination on time. The wifi signal occasionally wiped out. Improvements could be made here. Otherwise a good connection.
Advantages
QuietDisadvantages
Train cancellationAt first I looked angry because my train was cancelled and I had to wait a while until I could take the next one. But then it was quiet on the train and the staff were really friendly, so I got over my initial anger. The rest of the journey went well.
