PriceStaffwifi connectionI recently took a train journey with DB. I was partially satisfied. First of all, there was no noise on the train. Hygiene was extremely taken care of. The train also arrived very punctually in Bodensee. However, there were also some negative aspects, such as the staff, who were very unfriendly. The price was very high in my opinion. There was also a very poor wifi connection on the train. Overall, it was okay.
