I really liked the fact that I could buy the ticket very easily. I also liked the fact that the train wasn't delayed and I didn't have to change trains. Another point I liked was the good wifi, which allowed me to watch films. However, I didn't like the fact that the train was quite full.
Advantages
IconFast drive
Disadvantages
IconWifi was slow
I travelled to Munich on the ICE 595 and was quite happy that I got there very quickly. Unfortunately, the wifi hardly worked or it took ages before I could even use the web browser. Otherwise, the service was very nice to me and everything went really well

This weekend I travelled from Frankfurt to Munich to visit a friend. The ICE 627 arrived on time in Frankfurt and the journey from there took just over 3 hours. The journey was very pleasant and I really have nothing to complain about. The staff were friendly and the bistro was fine. I was pleasantly surprised by the hygiene of the toilets and otherwise the ICE was clean all round. A great journey.
Advantages

IconGood price
IconGood service
Disadvantages
IconNone
The train journey from Frankfurt to Munich was an extremely good connection, as the train only took just under 3 hours, which I would describe as very fast. Coffee was served at your seat, which speaks for a good service. The price of the journey was also very good. The train was also well equipped and had very comfortable seats. Fortunately, there were no delays.

Disadvantages
IconPeople
Today I took the ICE from Frankfurt am Main main station to Munich main station. The journey took about 3 1/2 hours. At the beginning everything was relaxed, but later people got on the train who were talking incredibly loudly and it felt like they were already shouting. I then simply changed my seat. The ticket inspection was completely normal and the staff were friendly as usual. The train arrived in Munich on time.

Disadvantages
IconMalfunction
I travelled by train from Frankfurt am Main to Munich. At the beginning everything was great, the train arrived at Frankfurt station on time and made a clean and tidy impression when I boarded. The seats weren't worn out and the aisles weren't dirty, and the sanitary facilities were clean and usable. The staff on board were very friendly and helpful. Unfortunately, the wifi was not working. During the journey we were informed that there would be delays due to a technical problem, which was very annoying for me.
Advantages
IconAbsolutely punctual
Iconspeed
Disadvantages
IconTrain capacity utilisation
IconCleanliness of the sanitary facilities
In my opinion, this is the fastest connection from Frankfurt to Munich if you want to get from the city centre to the city centre. Even the aeroplane can't keep up, because both Munich and Frankfurt have a relatively long journey to the airport. By car, there is no chance of covering the almost 400 kilometres in just over 3 hours. The journey is comfortable, you can work or watch a film on the side and with the right headphones you are relatively undisturbed. The only problem could be the capacity utilisation of the trains if you don't buy a ticket with a seat reservation in good time. The Deutsche Bahn app said "very high capacity utilisation", but I still managed to get a seat without a reservation. The toilets were a disaster this time, as the water for washing hands didn't work.

IconPunctuality
All in all a reasonably good journey, it would have been even better if the train had been on time. What I was surprised about was the price, as it is quite cheap for the route. I sat by the window and had a good view. There was also plenty of legroom.
Advantages
IconCool ride
IconFast
Disadvantages
IconPricewise okay
This trip was really nice. I was able to take in the beautiful scenery for a pleasant time and the weather also played along. The service was also nicer than usual and the day in general had a very positive impact on this ride. Every member of staff treated me nicely and it felt like the time went by even faster, even though the journey wasn't too long. A very great experience

IconComfortable
IconGood value
Disadvantages
IconFull
IconSometimes unpunctual
I had a very comfortable journey from Frankfurt to Munich on the ICE. The train was a bit full due to the Christmas period, but I still managed to get a seat. You travel very quickly on the ICE and you can't complain at all about the good price-performance ratio compared to travelling by car. What's more, you don't even have to change trains from Frankfurt to Munich. The service in the on-board restaurant was very friendly.
