My train journey from Berlin to Bremen was an all-round positive experience. The train was on time and offered a high level of comfort. The seats were spacious and comfortable, which made the journey extremely pleasant. The train staff were friendly and courteous, which contributed to a positive atmosphere. During the journey I was able to enjoy the passing scenery. The track offered beautiful views of the surrounding villages and countryside, which could be viewed through the train windows. It was a relaxing experience to spend the journey time enjoying the picturesque surroundings. The on-board restaurant was a welcome addition. The choice of food and drink was varied and the quality of the dishes on offer was good. I was able to enjoy a delicious meal and refreshing drinks as I continued the journey. The entire journey went smoothly and without incident. Both boarding and disembarking were straightforward and well organised. Arrival in Bremen was on time, which was important for me as I had a tight schedule.

It was a nice train ride. I had good wifi, a power socket and it was very comfortable. I had good seats. It was also nice and quiet and I got food from the nice staff. I had a reservation. I did not receive any information. It was very dirty in the toilets. I didn't have to change trains and the train was on time. Price-performance ratio is OK.

On this trip, unfortunately, you had to change trains very often and that made the journey a bit difficult. Fortunately, the hygiene was good in every means of transport. All the staff were good at showing you the way and helping where they could. The price is well suited to the route.

I left Berlin today at 11.20 and went to Bremen via Hamburg. Unfortunately I had to change trains three times, which was a bit stressful... The journey itself was very pleasant and the price reasonable. There were no delays! The staff was very friendly and courteous. The entire ICE (including toilets) was very clean and hygienic. I can only recommend this comfortable train ride
Advantages

IconTrain wifi worked well
IconFair price
Disadvantages
IconThe corridors were dirty
IconSeat reservation error
IconUncomfortable seats
The train journey from Berlin to Bremen was mediocre overall. On a positive note, the excellent wifi facilities made it possible to work or wifi during the journey. The train staff were friendly and courteous. Unfortunately, the seats were uncomfortable and the comfort left a lot to be desired. The cleanliness of the seats and toilets also left a lot to be desired, which detracted from the overall experience. The price-performance ratio was mediocre, as the price was acceptable but the quality on offer was not entirely convincing. The journey time, on the other hand, was reasonable and the arrival in Bremen was on time. All in all, the train journey was average, with some positive and negative aspects.
Advantages
IconGenerous legroom
IconGood and nice service
IconVery clean
Disadvantages
IconPoor equipment: no wifi
IconHigh costs for the ticket
IconVery long journey
My experience on the train journey from Berlin to Bremen was positive on the whole. The impressive cleanliness of the train and the generous legroom made the journey extremely comfortable. The service on board also deserves praise - the staff were not only professional but also extremely friendly, which created a positive atmosphere. However, there are also areas where there is room for improvement. The lack of wifi was unfortunate, especially at a time when many travellers rely on an online connection. Upgrading these facilities could significantly increase passenger comfort. I personally found the journey time to be a little long, which affected the overall experience. Another aspect to consider is the comparatively high cost of the train ticket. These seemed relatively high to me compared to other means of transport, which affected the price-performance ratio. Despite these points, I was able to enjoy the journey for the most part thanks to the cleanliness, legroom and friendly service. An expansion of the facilities, especially the introduction of wifi, could make the train journey from Berlin to Bremen even more pleasant and further increase passenger satisfaction.
Advantages
IconVery clean
IconNice staff
IconGood equipment
IconComfortable seats
Disadvantages
IconVery expensive ticket
IconExpensive food on board
IconLimited legroom
My personal experience on the train journey from Berlin to Bremen was very interesting. I would like to emphasise that the cleanliness of the train, both in the carriages and in the sanitary facilities, was very satisfactory. The equipment of the train made a modern impression, I had both wifi and power sockets at my seat. The seats also proved to be quite comfortable, although legroom was limited. The train staff were always friendly, but occasionally a little overworked as all the passengers had many requests. The service on board was good overall, although it was always full at major train stations and there were therefore minor delays. There was a large selection in the on-board catering, but the prices for food and drinks seemed a little too high to me. The comfort during the journey was pleasant, with comfortable seats and air conditioning. The journey time was acceptable and the train arrived on time. Unfortunately, I felt the value for money was not quite right, as the ticket cost was a little higher than expected and the prices on board were not much better. To summarise, it was a solid train journey, but with room for improvement, especially in terms of value for money. However, I would still recommend it.
Advantages
IconSurprisingly good train connection
Disadvantages
IconNo special
The train was extremely punctual, which made it easier to plan the journey. Positive reasonable ticket prices. Trains were always well maintained and tidy. Reliable wifi allowed for convenient use of devices while travelling. Toilets were clean and well equipped. The comfortable seats made for a pleasant journey. Overall, a recommendable train service that impressed in all categories.
