It was quietDisadvantages
I have noThe train journey was relaxed. I sat by the window, looked out and listened to music. The train travelled quietly and everything was clean and tidy. The seats had soft padding and plenty of room for my legs and bag. The journey progressed quickly; I could even read a little. The people around me were quiet, some sleeping while others worked on their laptops. I give it a recommendation.

-My train journey with Renfe train number 01072 from Valencia-Estacio Del Nord to Barcelona-Sants in "Elige Confort" class was extremely pleasant. I was particularly impressed by the high level of comfort on board: the seats were generously sized, very comfortable and offered enough legroom so that I was able to relax and enjoy the entire journey. The cleanliness of the train was also exemplary - both in the seating area and in the sanitary facilities.
The train staff were friendly, attentive and helpful at all times. Questions were answered competently and you felt well looked after as a passenger. I particularly liked the fact that the wifi worked reliably, so I was able to work and communicate easily while travelling.
The direct connection without changing trains is a great advantage, as you can get to your destination quickly and without stress. During the journey, I was able to enjoy the varied Spanish landscape, including beautiful stretches of coastline and green fields, which further enriched the trip.
The price-performance ratio is also impressive: the fare is absolutely reasonable for the comfort offered and the fast connection. The booking process was straightforward and the digital ticket was available immediately.

No on-board restaurant on boardThe journey was breathtaking! I took the train from Valencia to Barcelona for my holiday and was very happy with the connection. I looked at other options but the train was the most comfortable and easy choice for me. The seats were comfortable and there was enough space to relax. The toilets were also clean and hygienic, which I found very pleasant. I travelled at lunchtime, the train was not full and the journey was quiet. The wifi worked well and I was able to charge my mobile phone at the socket. The train was on time and the staff were friendly and helpful. There was no on-board restaurant, which I used. I paid around 27 euros for the ticket, which I think is good value for money. Overall, the journey was very pleasant and I would definitely choose this connection again.

TemperatureI travelled from Valencia to Barcelona to spend a long weekend by the sea. The connection was the most convenient option for me, as it was direct and didn't involve any changes - a real time-saver compared to travelling by bus or plane. I travelled at lunchtime, which was perfectly timed and gave the day a pleasant structure. I particularly liked the clean train, the working power socket at every seat and the reliable wifi, which made the journey very pleasant. I was also impressed by the punctuality of the train and the friendly service on board. The only downside was the temperature in the carriage. It was a little too cool at times due to the air conditioning. All in all, however, it was a great journey!

Advantages
It was cleanDisadvantages
It was very crowdedThe journey on the ICE was pleasant and quiet. The seats were comfortable and I had enough space, including for my luggage. The power socket at my seat and the free, mostly stable wifi were particularly practical. I could read in peace and enjoy the view without having to worry about the traffic. The timing was also fine. There was the disadvantage that the train was very full at the beginning and I couldn't find a quiet seat until later.

The emphasis on hygiene, clean toilets and sanitary facilities were commendable. In addition, the train arrived on time and there was no need to change trains, which made travelling much easier. Unfortunately, the poor wifi connection, the noise level on the train and difficulties in making reservations were minor inconveniences. Nevertheless, the overall impression of this journey was positive.

PunctualityChangeover requirementsVolumeMy journey from Valencia to Barcelona was very enjoyable because the price was very fair. It wasn't necessarily cheap, but for the distance the price was well justified. The staff were very friendly, polite and respectful. They always dealt with and clarified my concerns and interests. Maximum attention was paid to hygiene, as the toilets and seats were very well maintained. The seats were not only well maintained, but also extremely cosy and comfortable, which of course made the journey much easier. The wifi connection was also very efficient and stable. I was able to stay productive and work during the journey. However, the train didn't arrive in Barcelona on time and unfortunately there were several changes that made the journey more difficult. The noise level was also inappropriate and rather annoying. But all in all a great journey!
Advantages

Unreliable wifiThe train journey from Valencia to Barcelona was a very nice trip. One of the positive aspects was the impressive view along the route. The seats on the train were extremely comfortable and made for a relaxed journey. Unfortunately, one negative aspect was the wifi on board, which was inaccessible at times and otherwise very weak.

NoneThe train journey from Valencia to Barcelona was a very relaxing experience. It was equipped with everything I needed, wifi, power sockets, comfortable seats and plenty of legroom. The service was good and the staff were nice and helpful. The train was also clean and there were clean toilets. The price was justified and fair in my opinion. Overall a very positive experience!
Advantages

I could not recognise any weaknessesThe train was really well equipped. There was fantastic wifi and always good reception. The toilets and benches were also very hygienic. I was able to sleep comfortably on the benches and have a good rest. Buying the ticket online was also no problem. As I couldn't find any disadvantages, I simply have to recommend the trip. 5 stars.
Advantages
CleanlinessDisadvantages
SpeedI'd never travelled by train in Spain before so I didn't know what to expect, but I was pleasantly surprised. Unlike in Germany, the train was on time and very clean. The only negative thing I noticed was that the train wasn't travelling very fast. I saw that wifi was available, but I didn't test it. My laptop didn't have much battery, but luckily there were charging facilities that I could use to charge it.
Advantages
PunctualityDisadvantages
None at allI could only find positive points on this journey. These included, for example, that the train was on time, that the toilets were thoroughly cleaned and hygienic and that the seats were super comfortable. It was also very good that there was a constant network connection. As a result, I would like to say that the trip was very nice and I recommend it.

NoneI often have something to criticise, but this time everything was perfect. My train was on time and I didn't have to change trains, so my journey was very pleasant and relaxed. The train was also very quiet and the seats were so comfortable that I fell asleep. There was nothing missing in terms of equipment either, even the wifi worked. The toilets were also very clean! A great price-performance ratio!
Advantages
The price was okayDisadvantages
Train was unfortunately very dirtyI had many ups and downs on my journey from Valencia and Barcelona. The 3-hour journey played with my nerves a little, as I first received a nice welcome from the service. Then, when I sat down at my seat, I unfortunately realised that it was very dirty. At least the wifi worked well and the journey wasn't too long.
Advantages
Beautiful viewGood priceDisadvantages
Service was okayI travelled to Barcelona on the so-called Intercity 01072. The outward journey days before was almost exactly the same as the return journey, except that I had worse experiences with the service on the return journey. They weren't particularly polite or exceptionally nice. But I don't want to complain as there isn't that much to say about the 3 hour journey. The price of the ticket was good and the hygiene was also great on the train.
Advantages
HygieneDisadvantages
PunctualityThe only negative aspect was that the train arrived some time late. Otherwise, I can report that the staff seemed to go out of their way to make the journey as pleasant and problem-free as possible. The toilets were characterised by excellent cleanliness and hygiene. The reception was fine by train standards. I would recommend the service to others.
Advantages
Good seatsNice staffDisadvantages
-The staff were super friendly and spoke English. The journey took a good 3 hours and we reached our destination station Barcelona Sants on time. The train was well cleaned and it didn't smell. The seats were very comfortable and there were power sockets. I didn't have to change trains and I was able to use the journey to work. This went quite well because it was quiet on the train, except for the last half hour. But that didn't matter because I was finished by then anyway.
Advantages

HygieneThe return journey was also a complete success. The only negative thing was that it wasn't quite as clean and hygienic. Apart from that, I can report that the staff were very friendly and helpful. The price of the ticket was definitely reasonable. I would advise everyone to buy their ticket on the website. I can give my recommendation. 4 stars.
Advantages

Advantages
No delayNumerous catering optionsDisadvantages
No socketsI started the journey from Valencia to Barcelona on 14 January 2020. I left Valencia at 7.30 pm and arrived in Barcelona at 11 pm after about three hours and 40 minutes. I didn't have to change trains and there were no delays. The journey was very pleasant, the seats were very comfortable, the volume was reasonable and there was a very varied catering service. There was wifi, but there were no power sockets, which is still not a bad thing. I can only praise the cleanliness, as it was very hygienic for a train. The price-performance ratio was also very good, especially as I had booked a return journey. The train number was 1201
Advantages
Large windows to admire the landscapeFaster than driving a carDisadvantages
Mediocre comfortI actually wanted to drive from Valencia to Barcelona in a hire car, but then decided to take the train. The journey took just under three hours, which is 30 minutes faster than by car. I didn't have to change trains either, so the journey was super uncomplicated and easy. I only had some back pain after the journey, which could be due to the shape of the seats. The EM 1192 also had large panoramic windows from which you can enjoy the beautiful landscape. The staff were always very nice and it was also surprisingly hygienic on the train
Advantages
Fast connectionDisadvantages
Little space for luggageThe journey from Valencia to Barcelona was my return journey. The journey was on 28 July at 5pm, the train number of the train was IC 264 and the journey took about 4 hours. The noise level was nice and low both as other passengers and travelling noise. The whole train was actually very clean and hygienic as well as the toilets. Other comforts available on the train were free wifi and power sockets. Staff were nice and helpful.
Advantages
Good viewDisadvantages
Loud noisesThe IC694 train from Valencia to Barcelona departed on 22 September. The train left on time at around 4pm. The staff on board were all nice and friendly. Thanks to power sockets and wifi, I was able to work on my laptop, which made travelling by train much more relaxed. The seats were comfortable and the overall noise level on the train was very quiet, both as a passenger and from the train. The train was clean and the toilets were hygienic.
Advantages
Very punctualDisadvantages
NetUnfortunately, the heating on the train didn't work properly. At least that's how it seemed to me because I couldn't take my jacket off due to the temperature. The network is generally not so good in Spain, but it worked. I had actually expected a delay, but surprisingly this was not the case. Buying the ticket was very easy and went without a hitch. The staff in Valencia were very friendly. However, their English was not so good and I had problems understanding them.
Advantages
CleanlinessI felt very comfortable on the journey. The necessary comfort was definitely provided. The clean toilets and seats, as well as the punctuality and the nice staff all contributed to making the journey as pleasant as possible for me. I bought the ticket online and there were no complications. I was able to make the payment conveniently via PayPal. As a result, I give it 5 stars.
Advantages
FastEnvironmentally friendlyFavourableDisadvantages
Many peopleAccording toDirtyThe train journey from Valencia to Barcelona deserves three stars. The favourable price, the fast journey time and the environmentally friendly travel option are positive points. These aspects made the journey fundamentally attractive. Unfortunately, the train was very full, which affected comfort. It was also quite dirty on the train and the high noise level made it difficult to relax. Overall, an acceptable option for a quick and inexpensive journey, but with some noticeable compromises in comfort.
Advantages
Regular trafficComfortable seatsSocketsDisadvantages
DelayStaff not so motivatedWindow was smearedThe trains from Valencia to Barcelona run regularly every one to two hours. The tickets were quite cheap! Seat reservation was mandatory and the train took about 3 hours. My train number was Euromed-01123, with comfortable seats and power sockets. There was no need to change trains.

Everything topMy train journey on the Euromed 1045 from Valencia to Barcelona was absolutely perfect! The journey took about 3 hours and was pleasant and comfortable throughout.
The direct train was on time, the seats were very comfortable and the on-board facilities left nothing to be desired. There was wifi, which worked well, and plenty of space to relax or work during the journey. The view along the coast was also simply beautiful.
The staff were friendly and the service was first class. For a fast and comfortable connection between Valencia and Barcelona, I highly recommend this train
Advantages
Very cleanDisadvantages
-I have mostly positive memories of the connection. The train was very punctual and the sanitary facilities were very thoroughly cleaned and, as a result, very clean. I also had a fast network connection the whole time. My fold-out table and bench seat added to the comfort. I was able to work very concentrated and quietly for the entire 3 hours. 5 stars. There was no need to change trains and the journey took just over 3 hours.
Advantages
it was cleanDisadvantages
PunctualityI had train number 2917 and changed trains once. The journey took just under 3.5 hours. It was very clean and hygienic. I was able to buy my ticket in advance. Unfortunately, there was no bistro on board the train. Unfortunately, my train wasn't quite on time either. It was almost 15 minutes late. I can recommend the connection, but I only have to give it 4 stars because not everything was 100% perfect.
Advantages
FastwifiThere was foodBeautiful viewDisadvantages
A little lateClimate not well adjustedExpensive foodA little dirtyThe whole journey on the Euromed 1195 from Valencia to Barcelona was okay, but there is room for improvement. The train left the station on time and the journey time of around three hours was fine. It was quite fast and with little delay we were in Barcelona at the appropriate time. The seats were comfortable enough, but I would have liked more cushioning for a long journey. The space between the seats was sufficient, but can be tight for tall people. The air conditioning was acceptable; however, it was set a little too cool here, making it very cold regionally, and a jumper is definitely recommended. The wifi service was there, but the connection was often unstable and therefore extremely slow. It is quite unusable for serious work or streaming. The food in the on-board restaurant was okay, but not particularly good. It was limited to two teas, two decafs and two or three perhaps meagre menus - all at quite high prices compared to the quality. The view along the coast was beautiful, but the dirty windows sometimes spoilt the view. Ultimately acceptable overall, but there is still a lot to improve in terms of comfort, wifi quality and food. For what I paid, I would certainly have been satisfied with more.
Advantages
PersonnelDisadvantages
DelayI thought it was a bit of a shame that the train was unfortunately delayed by almost 20 minutes. I changed trains once and travelled on train number 2382. The journey took 3 hours and 20 minutes. It was very clean. Sufficient comfort was provided with comfortable seats and a reasonable temperature.
Advantages
PunctualDisadvantages
NoneI was very happy that my train was on time. Inside it was very clean and I had no problems finding a comfortable seat for myself. There was good wifi and the staff were very friendly. I changed trains once and the journey took 3 hours. The train number was 9316.
