ReviewsReviews for the rail journey from Vienna to Frankfurt am Main

The customer opinion was acquired via Cimenio. Cimenio incentivises its users for giving an honest opinion and proving the booking with a photo of the travel ticket.

Advantages

Hardly any delay

Disadvantages

Expensive

Poor wifi

The train was quite full and there were problems with the seat reservation display, which led to a lot of confusion. I had a power socket available, which was great. I was able to charge either my mobile phone or my headphones. Which is necessary on such a long journey. The seats were fine, I sat on a 2-seater and so had a footrest, which was nice. However, this is not available in the four-seater seats. I sat in the quiet area as the other compartments were full. As I wasn't alone, it was a bit annoying as you couldn't have a conversation. However, it was very quiet and calm. We were a little late, but this was still within reason. I didn't use the toilets, so I can't say anything about the cleanliness here. The ticket inspectors and train drivers made a very pleasant impression and were friendly. Overall, I think the price was a bit expensive for the fact that the journey was so long and the wifi didn't work so well.
