Pro

Price

Very nice staff

Comfort

Cons

Delay

Strong shaking during the ride

WCs

The journey from Vienna back to Munich was one of the last stops on my return journey from Budapest. I can't complain about the comfort. Very nice and helpful staff played a big part. Only unfortunately the shaking during the journey made it a bit uncomfortable. Unfortunately, the toilets are not the cleanest and delays cannot be avoided. Nevertheless, the train ride is worth it for such a price.

Pro

Clean WCs

Comfortable seats

Sockets

Good wifi

Cons

Announcements too loud

When I took the Westbahn, I immediately noticed the good wifi. I have travelled with the Westbahn very often, but this time I have to say that this was the best journey of all so far. The toilets are clean as always and the staff are also nice. It's very easy to make a reservation. Every seat has a power socket and they all work. The Westbahn is also always on time. The announcements are a bit loud, but it's still good value for money.

Pro

fast without changing

Cons

No rest in the rest area

This was a comfortable, entertaining train ride. Thanks to wifi and a power socket on the train, I was able to stream films without any problems. It was a direct connection from Vienna to Munich without hectic transfers. Unfortunately, there was no peace and quiet in the so-called rest area. I noticed the cleanliness, also in the toilets, positively. Good price-performance ratio.

Pro

Nice staff

Comfort

Good value

Cons

Delays

WIFI

No sockets

Poor hygiene

A few days ago, we were on a day trip in Vienna and decided to take the train on the way back. It was super easy and spontaneous to book the tickets and in itself it is a very cheap thing to do. The staff was very nice and fortunately there was no lack of comfort this time. Only disappointingly, I have to mention the delays of the trains again. In addition, of course, there was once again a lack of hygiene and unclean toilets. Unfortunately, the wifi wasn't the best either, and since we had often used our mobile phones after such a long day and wanted to charge them, there were no sockets at our seats (unfortunately, this was very annoying).

Pro

On time

Clean

Few stops

Cons

Height difference between platform and wagon

The train was on time as almost always, the carriage including the toilet was clean. The staff was friendly as always. In 1st class, as usual, there was a socket between the seats and it worked. The wifi also worked perfectly. The train was on time to Freilassing. The railway cannot be held responsible for the delay due to border controls. The train only stops 4 times between Vienna and Munich and I would recommend it to anyone travelling this route. The only negative point would be the difference in height between the carriage and the platform in both Vienna and Munich. Difficult with heavy luggage or physical limitations.

Pro

Clean

Clean toilet

USB sockets

Comfortable seats

Cons

Departed 2 min too late

The train journey by ICE from Vienna to Munich was very pleasant. The seats were comfortable and allowed for restful sleep. The USB sockets at the seat were extremely practical and the clean toilets pleased me even more. The only minor criticism is that the train left 2 minutes late, but that was not really a problem for me. I can really recommend this train trip to everyone, especially for business trips.

Pro

Quiet train ride

Good information dissemination

Cons

Rather expensive

Too few resting cars

Comfort: the train is fast but very quiet, you don't feel disturbed. Of course, you can't choose the people sitting next to you, sometimes it was a bit noisy, but the train can't do much about that. Catering: there was a bistro car where you could get something to eat. Service: I always felt well informed about the status of the journey (information about the next stops, etc.).

Pro

Fast drive

Railjet Express is better than ICE

Cons

Nothing negative

The journey from Vienna to Munich is very pleasant on the RJ Express. The journey only takes 4 hours. In addition, the RJ trains of the Austrian Federal Railway are very clean, the seats are comfortable and the prices are acceptable even in first class. The wifi is better than on the German railway. Unfortunately, however, the economy fare in conjunction with first class does not give you access to the DB Lounge.

Pro

Very nice travel experience

Pleasant and fast

Cons

Everything went without a hitch

The train connection was very punctual. The timetable was adhered to exactly, which made for a smooth journey. The ticket price was reasonable for the services offered. The option to book in advance gave me a more favourable fare. The cleanliness of the train was mostly good. The seats and general area were tidy. The free wifi on the train worked perfectly, the connection was stable and the speed made it easy to use internet services. The toilets were acceptable, but there was room for improvement. Some restocking such as toilet paper or hand soap would be desirable. Overall, I liked the train connection very much. Hence my recommendation.

Pro

Hygiene

Restaurant

Punctuality

Cons

Wifi not fast

Weak sockets

Optics not very inviting

Overall, the train was 100% convincing. The staff on board were pleasant and professional. It was a lot of fun travelling on this beautiful route. Apart from that, there was also a lot of delicious food on offer. The train left Vienna on time and arrived in Munich on the dot. There was no need to change trains.

Pro

Favourable

WIFI

Friendly staff

Cons

Punctuality

Train cancellation

Unplanned changeover

My journey from Vienna to Munich was affected by the Deutsche Bahn strike and only went as far as Salzburg. There I had to change unscheduled to the BOB regional train to continue my journey to Munich. It was pleasantly quiet in my 2nd class carriage due to the small number of passengers. I had a table and a power socket at my seat. The wifi was interrupted from time to time, which made it difficult to work with my laptop. A restaurant car and WC were available, but I did not make use of them.

Pro

Punctuality

Cleanliness

The train connection was mostly on time, which was very positive. The fare was reasonable, but there were some inconveniences. The cleanliness was acceptable, but improvements can be made. The wifi worked well for the most part, but there were moments of poor connection. The toilets were clean and well equipped. Seating comfort was average, lacking adjustable seats. Overall a reliable train service, but small improvements could greatly enhance the experience.

Pro

Nice staff

Clean train

Cons

20 minutes late

The journey was relatively relaxed and I was able to travel through without having to change trains. The conductor was very friendly to me. I was able to find a seat and it was comfortable. I also had a power socket at my seat. The train itself was very well cleaned and didn't smell. The toilet was also relatively clean, but very smelly. The journey took about 4 hours and apart from the delay of about 20 minutes, I am satisfied.

Pro

It was quiet in my compartment

The seats were comfortable

Cons

We arrived in Vienna about 20 minutes late.

The journey was relatively relaxed. I found the seats very comfortable and there were power sockets available. The conductor was nice to me. It was very quiet in my compartment and I was able to relax and work. The toilet was clean, but it stank like hell. Unfortunately, we arrived at our destination station, Munich Central Station, about 20 minutes late. On a positive note, the train compartment itself was very clean.

Pro

Beautiful view

Cons

Pricewise okay

As on the previous journey, I travelled on the RJX63 train again on the return journey. The view was again very nice and the service was, as so often, nice and polite. The wifi worked again without any problems and the train was also super tidy before the guests were allowed to take their seats. The price was okay, but I would have liked this journey to be cheaper, then I would definitely travel the route more often. The cleanliness of the train was also perfectly okay

Pro

Nice service

Cons

Weak wifi connection

As with the journey to Vienna, I also travelled back with the RJX63. Unfortunately, only this time there was hardly a good connection to the wifi, which is why I had problems doing my work on my laptop. Despite everything, the service was very nice to me and the journey was quicker this time. So I arrived back in Munich with a good feeling and was satisfied. The train was very clean and well maintained

Pro

No delay

Very friendly staff

Cons

High price

In contrast to my outward journey to Vienna, the return journey was much better. Although the ticket costs a lot, it was well worth it. I arrived home after exactly 4 hours without any delays. Everything was clean and tidy again, as were the toilets. The timetable was a 4-stop journey with no changes. I was able to talk to the very friendly staff and they also helped me with a problem. The train number was RJX 68.

Pro

All WCs open and clean

Wifi works

Cons

Was pretty expensive

Timetable: without changing trains, with 4 stops. Journey time: 4 hours and 20 minutes approximately Train number: RJX 62 The slightly annoyed staff had shown me to my seat. The wifi was working and I had a power socket to charge my laptop. There was hardly any noise, so I was able to work undisturbed. Everything was clean, only the toilets were a bit scruffy. There were no delays. The price was a bit high for my ratio.

Pro

There was wifi

Everything clean

Cons

Slight delay

Timetable: direct to destination with a short delay and without changing trains. Journey time: the journey took around 4 hours with a delay of 15 minutes. Train number: the train number was RJX 62. As with every RJX, comfort was once again excellent. The toilets were clean and the whole train was hygienic. The wifi worked, which it didn't on another journey. Staff also very friendly and helpful when I needed help.
