WifiThe journey from Seville to Madrid went very well overall. The train was on time and I reached my destination quickly. The toilets were in good condition, which I always find important. The service was friendly and attentive. Wifi was available but unstable in some places. Comfort was solid with enough space. Compared to the car, the train journey was much more relaxed and time-saving. One star deduction because the wifi was not available. But overall I can recommend it!

-I travelled from Seville to Madrid on the AVE 02061 early in the morning and was absolutely delighted! The train was on time and boarding was quick and easy. The seats were very comfortable and offered enough space for me to relax and enjoy the journey. I found the quiet atmosphere on the train particularly pleasant - perfect for reading or simply looking out of the window and watching the scenery go by.
The train staff were friendly and helpful, the toilets were clean and the on-board restaurant had a good selection of snacks and drinks. The journey flew by and I even arrived in Madrid a few minutes earlier than planned.
I can recommend this connection to anyone who wants to travel quickly and comfortably between Seville and Madrid. It was a perfect journey for me

DelayThe journey was mixed. The train was already late on departure and another ten minutes were added on the way. The reservation displays didn't work, which led to confusion. The seats were okay, but quite worn. On the positive side, the journey was generally quiet and the staff remained friendly. Acceptable for short journeys, but not recommended for long journeys.

Advantages
it was cleanDisadvantages
the Internet connectionOverall, my ICE journey was pleasant. One of the main advantages was the cleanliness of the train. The tables and chairs were in good condition and everything looked tidy. The short journey time was an additional advantage. I reached my destination much faster than by car. The wifi was a disadvantage. It often didn't work or was very slow. This was frustrating as I wanted to work on the journey. Nevertheless, the journey was relaxed and the train arrived on time.
Advantages
CleanlinessDisadvantages
PersonnelThe only thing I have to criticise about the trip is that the staff were very unfriendly and impatient. Apart from that, I would like to say that it was clean everywhere. There was no chewing gum or other residue from previous passengers. The price-performance ratio of the ticket was also optimal. Overall, I can only give it four stars this time. There was no need to change trains.
Advantages
Pleasant journeyDisadvantages
DelayThe train with the number 6217 departed late on 25/11/21 at around 9 pm. The journey was without changing trains, which was very pleasant. There was also the option of reserving a seat, which was also very good. The service and comfort offered on the train included wifi, power sockets, food for sale and very comfortable seats. The train was very clean and hygienic, as were the toilets, which was also ensured by the friendly and helpful staff.
Advantages

No room for luggageThe train from Seville to Málaga on 19 Sept left on time at 12 noon with train number 6127 and the staff were extremely helpful, something I had never experienced before. The train was hygienic and clean like the rest of the train I saw. Thanks to the wifi and power sockets I was able to do things on my laptop which made travelling by train much better. I would recommend this connection to anyone.
Advantages
Good viewDisadvantages
Very warm trainThe train from Seville to Málaga departed on 24 January at 4pm slightly late with train number 2861 and after changing trains 6148. The connection from Seville to Málaga is possible without changing trains, but I decided against it because of lower prices. The staff were nice and helpful. The journey took around 3 hours. The train was clean and hygienic, like the rest of the train. Recommendation goes out.
Advantages
air-conditionedDisadvantages
NetEven though the journey took place in May, it was still very warm in Seville. I was glad that there was air conditioning on the train, which provided a pleasant climate inside. On the negative side, I have to say that the network was very poor and reception was almost non-existent. The staff were very friendly and I remember a clean train. The journey took about 3 hours and 15 minutes.

-My journey on the AVE 2134 from Seville-Santa Justa to Madrid-Puerta de Atocha was a very positive experience. The train left Seville on time at 5:50 am and reached Madrid after exactly 3 hours and 2 minutes. This is an impressive journey time for this route. Despite the early departure time, the train was well filled but not overcrowded. The train staff were friendly and helpful right from the start. They regularly offered drinks and snacks, which was especially welcome in the early morning. The on-board restaurant offered a good selection of breakfast options, which I really enjoyed. The seats in Básica class were comfortable enough for the three-hour direct journey, with plenty of legroom. The wifi worked flawlessly, so I was able to use the time to work and prepare for my day in Madrid. The punctuality was impressive, as we arrived in Madrid at exactly 8.52am, which was perfect for a productive day in the capital. The only slight downside was the very early departure time, but I had the whole day in Madrid ahead of me. Overall, the AVE 2134 was an efficient and comfortable way to travel from Seville to Madrid. The combination of speed, punctuality and good service makes this an excellent choice for business travellers and tourists alike.

SNCF OUIGO
About
SNCF OUIGO is a low-cost train service launched in 2013 by SNCF, the French national railway company. It offers budget-friendly travel on both high-speed (Ouigo Grande Vitesse) and conventional (Ouigo Vitesse Classique) lines in France, and also to Belgium and Spain. OUIGO trains are characterized by a \no-frills\" approach, featuring a single class of seating and minimal onboard amenities to keep ticket prices low. While the high-speed services utilize specially reconfigured TGV trains, Ouigo Vitesse Classique uses older locomotive-hauled rolling stock for even cheaper fares on slower routes."
