ToiletComfortI got to my destination without changing trains, which was convenient. Unfortunately, the carriage was overcrowded and I was cramped next to the aisle. The toilet was no longer usable, there was no paper. The staff were friendly, but hardly visible. There was no on-board bistro. Compared to travelling by car, you save money, but not nerves. There was hardly any view, as many windows were steamed up or dirty.

Delay of 20 minutesI took the Intercity from Rostock to Berlin, which has a very short journey time between the two cities. It wasn't full, so it was relatively quiet. The seats were very comfortable and there were power sockets and internet on the train. The toilets looked hygienic and the corridors were very clean. My favourite part was the lighting, which made the interior look very classy. The staff were friendly and the comfort check-in worked smoothly. The ticket was also reasonably priced and I didn't have to change trains. Unfortunately, there was a delay of 20 minutes until Berlin. I can still recommend the journey.

Slow on-board serviceI was very satisfied with the journey. The train was on time, modernly equipped and pleasantly cooled. The seats were comfortable, with power sockets and plenty of legroom. The app notifications for the journey also worked well. Only the on-board service could be faster and a little friendlier. Overall, however, a very pleasant connection with many things going well.

Delay of 20 minutesThe train journey was generally relaxed. I had a window seat with a nice view and it was pleasantly quiet in the compartment. The seats were comfortable, the air conditioning ran constantly and the toilets were clean. I was pleasantly surprised by the well-kept condition of the entire carriage. Unfortunately, the train arrived at its destination about 20 minutes late, which made my schedule a little tight. Nevertheless, the journey was comfortable and I would use the connection again, as the overall package was right.

Few seatsThe train journey was basically fine. The connection was the fastest option, but the carriage was overcrowded, which significantly reduced comfort. Unfortunately, the toilets were not in the best condition and there were no announcements in the event of delays. At least the staff were friendly and helpful. Compared to the car, it was still less stressful, but unfortunately this time it was far from a really pleasant journey.
