The equipment of this train was as usual, I had two sockets at my seat and the free wifi also worked great. It was very quiet on the train and the seats were very comfortable and easy to sit in. In addition, the food was great and I also liked the hygiene on the train, because both the train itself and the toilet were very clean and looked like new.

IconLong journey
IconPoor price-performance ratio
The train journey from Berlin to Amsterdam left me with mixed impressions. The train offered basic comfort with comfortable seats and sufficient space. However, the unreliable air conditioning clouded the overall impression. The service on board was positive, but the choice of catering options during the journey was limited. The cleanliness of the train could be improved as some areas did not appear to be adequately cleaned and detracted from the travelling experience. I also felt that the value for money was not optimal. The ticket price seemed rather high compared to the amenities on offer. Some felt the cost was not justified given the inconveniences experienced. The longer journey time was also perceived as a negative point. Overall, I think there is potential for improvement to make the train journey from Berlin to Amsterdam a more pleasant one.

My journey from Berlin to Amsterdam by train was full of interesting experiences, both positive and negative. The train compartments were very clean and contributed to a pleasant travelling experience. The seating comfort was impressive, with cushioned seats and plenty of legroom. There were also plenty of power sockets for electronic devices, which was particularly handy for keeping my mobile phone charged during the long journey. I was also impressed by the train's facilities, with modern extras such as wifi, entertainment systems and comfortable sleeping arrangements, thanks to the upholstered seats. The journey time was reasonable and the punctuality impressed positively this time. The panoramic views during the journey were also really nice to look at. However, the price-performance ratio was a disadvantage. The ticket prices were far too high and some additional services, such as meals, were subject to a charge. The service on board was also very nice and courteous. Overall, the train journey from Berlin to Amsterdam was a positive experience, especially thanks to the cleanliness, comfort and facilities. Nevertheless, there is room for improvement in terms of value for money, especially the ticket price. Pleasant journey.
