Dear Sir or Madam, I would now like to write a review of my train journey from Nuremberg to Hamburg. First of all, I would like to say that the toilets were very clean and hygienic. They also smelled very pleasant because they were disinfected. The wifi facilities were excellent. My mobile phone and laptop were able to connect to the internet very quickly. Above all, I did not arrive in Hamburg on time. There was no need to change trains. The price was not really one hundred percent justified. The seats were not necessarily clean. Therefore, one found coffee stains or other food remains. Overall, a satisfactory journey.
Advantages

IconI had good wifi
The journey was very pleasant. The train hardly shook at all, so I could read my book well. There was no turbulence and the service was very good. Value for money, a good ride. The toilet was clean and I had seat heating on my seat. Overall, a very great ride. I would recommend it to anyone who likes quiet rides.

IconVery modern train
It was a very cheap and at the same time a very great ride. When I got on, I was cold because it was very cold outside, but then I got warm because the heaters were on. The train looked very nice and modern from the inside as well as from the outside. The train arrived on time and was more or less on time at its destination. The food was very good value and I liked it. The staff did their job. Moreover, the toilets and seats were disinfected. It was also very quiet on the train.

I had the opportunity to travel from Nuremberg to Hamburg by train and unfortunately I have to say that I was a little disappointed. Although the train journey was very comfortable and reliable, the price was unfortunately not that cheap. I felt that the price was overpriced compared to other means of transport. The journey was smooth overall and the trains were clean and well maintained. The train was on time and there was enough space to sit and work comfortably. However, I found the lack of food and drink options on board a little disappointing. Overall, the train journey from Nuremberg to Hamburg was comfortable, but unfortunately not the best choice for me due to the high price. If you are looking for a cheaper alternative, you might consider travelling by bus or plane. Nevertheless, I thank the railway company for the punctual and comfortable journey.
Advantages
Iconcheap
Despite delays due to an accident on the tracks, long waiting times and several changes, the staff was very friendly, helpful and competent. With cold outside temperatures, it was very warm inside. The delay itself was not my train's fault, but the conductor was very accommodating and extremely customer-oriented. The train itself was clean and the toilets in particular were very clean. It was very quiet on the train. I really liked the wifi. Despite all the delays and changes, I am very happy to recommend the trip to others, as it was not the train's fault. Super ride and a very cheap ride.
Advantages
IconDecoration on the train
This trip was so cheap you can't believe it, and only €50.23 for 3 people, that's awesome. The staff were in a very good mood and were very motivated. I really liked that there were a lot of staff and everyone was in a good mood. There was a lot of choice when it came to desserts, plus there were milkshakes, which was great, you don't get that everywhere. There were also a lot of decorations, so the train looked very nice. Only thanks to the price I can recommend it, but the great thing is that everything else was also included in the positive. Very cheap and great ride.
Advantages
Iconvery favourable
A very cheap ride. It's incredible, a trip for 3 people for only €53.70. I can only recommend this trip because it was so cheap and I liked everything. I liked the price the most, of course, but I also really liked how clean the train was. I also liked the wifi. The staff were also very friendly and very nice and helpful. The mirrors in the toilets were very clean. I also liked that my train was on time. I can lovingly recommend the trip as it was so cheap and I liked everything. In addition, the wifi was also of the highest standard.
Advantages
Iconvery favourable
Disadvantages
Icona very slight delay
I can only give this trip 5 stars because of the price, as it only cost €53.70 and that was for 3 people. There were also no negative aspects. The toilets were very clean and the mirrors on the toilets were also very clean. There were also lockers. The train was delayed by 2-3 minutes, but that doesn't matter in my opinion. I also really liked the wifi. I didn't order anything to eat, but my coffee was very tasty. Everything was perfect, so I can recommend the trip and especially the price was great.
Advantages
IconHygiene
Disadvantages
IconNone
I also only noticed positive things about this journey. I could see that the sanitary facilities were very clean and hygienic. The train also arrived punctually at lunchtime and I arrived in Hamburg at around 6.30 am. The staff went to great lengths to make the journey as pleasant as possible. I was well equipped with fast wifi and comfortable seats. Also recommended.
