Munich to Rome train with Deutsche Bahn (EC,ICE)

I had wanted to travel to the beautiful capital of Italy for a long time. The easiest and quickest option would probably have been to travel by plane. However, on the recommendation of friends, I decided to travel by sleeping car. The journey as a whole was a complete adventure in a positive sense. Once you had settled into your compartment, you were given a warm introduction to all the equipment in the cabins. In addition, there was a small welcome bag with a few nice items, such as slippers, a sleep mask, pen, etc. The train left Munich at 20:15 in the evening and arrived in Rome at around 09:30 the next morning. All in all, the time flew by. In the evening, we were able to enjoy a cosy piccolo (which we also received as a small welcome gift) and then go to bed at a later hour. For this purpose, the seats were folded down into a bed by the staff and you could relax. The beds themselves were relatively narrow, but quite comfortable for a bed on a train. I don't think you should expect a 5-star luxury bed here. It was relatively quiet on the train at night and you could fall asleep quite well. Every now and then you could hear the rails squeaking and feel the train taking the "curves", but I thought it was somehow part of the adventure and so it wasn't a problem for me. The welcome bag also contained some Oropax to help with the noise. I didn't need them myself and was still able to sleep relatively well. The next morning at around 07:00, I got up and asked the staff to fold the beds down so that I could sit down again. Shortly afterwards, breakfast was served (there was a form to fill in the evening before) and I was able to look out of the window and admire the Italian landscape. This was also my highlight of the trip. All in all, the sleeping cabin was quite small, but in my opinion it was equipped with all the essentials (air conditioning, washbasin, mirror, sockets, etc.) Unfortunately, one negative aspect was that there was no wifi throughout the train, which is a bit of a shame if you haven't downloaded a film or something similar for the journey beforehand. I can say that the toilets were generally clean. I personally found the ticket prices a little high, as two of us paid around €1000 for the return journey. Nevertheless, I would recommend anyone to take a night train journey, as it is a different way of travelling that I have never experienced before.

A few months ago, I took a trip with Deutsche Bahn from Munich to Rome. The train arrived in Rome very punctually. The price of the ticket was very well justified and in my opinion I found it quite cheap. The staff were very friendly and you always had a big smile on your face. However, they didn't pay good enough attention to hygiene, so the toilets were a bit smelly. It was also quite noisy on the train and there were several changeovers which made the journey difficult. Overall, a good journey.

Dear Sir or Madam, I took a trip with DB from Munich to Rome. First of all, the punctuality would be worth mentioning. We arrived in Rome on time. The staff on the train were very friendly and took great interest in my concerns. Great attention was paid to hygiene. There were disinfectants and wet wipes everywhere. However, there was too much noise on the train. The wifi connection was very poor. In addition, there were several transfer necessities. Overall, however, a good trip.

The journey was challenging, mainly due to the high price and the large number of changes that impaired comfort. Unfortunately, the volume on the train was not adequate, which further affected the travelling experience. On a positive note, however, the extremely friendly staff created a pleasant atmosphere for the passengers. The reservation facilities proved to be particularly good and the emphasis on hygiene, including clean WCs, contributed to a positive overall impression. The seats proved to be extremely comfortable, which partly compensated for the lack of comfort due to the need to change trains. The train also scored highly in terms of punctuality, which was another positive element. Overall, the journey was characterised by positive aspects despite some challenges.

My journey from Munich to Rome was amazingly good. The price was very fair as I think it was quite affordable. In addition, the staff were very friendly, polite and always clarified my concerns and interests. There were few transfers, which made my journey much easier. The wifi connection was very efficient and fast. I was able to be entertained, make important calls and work on my laptop. However, the train did not arrive in Rome on time. That was very disappointing. I also found the reservation options confusing and confusing. The noise level on the train was also not ideal. Nevertheless, the journey was very good, as important factors such as price and staff were well managed. It was therefore a great journey!
