The train arrived on time. I got on and it was very clean. I was greeted nicely. The floors looked very clean. There was uninterrupted internet. The toilet was clean. Then I sat back down, ordered a cup of tea and sipped my tea with relish, which was very fairly priced, tasty and fresh, but also arrived without a long wait. The staff were very nice. I can recommend this trip, which was in second class.

My train arrived on time and I got on. I was in the large room and had a lot of space and my peace and quiet, the wifi was also good throughout, so I could still do some work on the laptop and if my laptop or mobile phone was empty, I could charge them thanks to a socket. I order a latte macchiato, which was good value for money and very tasty. The staff were very friendly. After four hours, I also arrived on time. I recommend this ride to others.

From Osnabrück. I travelled to Berlin via ICE about a year ago. I was very pleased with the well-functioning facilities. The wifi worked great and the air conditioning was working everywhere. I am also totally satisfied with the price of the journey! The only negative thing about the journey was the hygiene. Unfortunately, some of the seats were smeared and the toilets were also very dirty. Otherwise, the trip was very good.
