It was okay, but there is definitely room for improvement. The toilets were unfortunately not particularly clean and smelled unpleasant. At least we didn't have to change trains, which was very pleasant. The volume in the carriage was variable, sometimes very quiet, then again annoying mobile phone chatter. Comfort was so-so, the seats were a bit saggy. The price was acceptable, but borderline for what was on offer. The time advantage to the car is scarce, but at least you can read and don't have to drive yourself.

I was travelling from Hamburg to Düsseldorf on business and wanted to use the time on the train to work on a project. Unfortunately, the wifi was so unstable that I was constantly wiped out of the system. The comfort was disappointing, the table wobbled and the seat was saggy. The volume in the coach was annoying, a mobile phone was constantly ringing somewhere. The toilets were unkempt. At least the train was on time and I didn't have to change trains, but the journey wasn't really productive.

The train journey from Hamburg to Düsseldorf was pleasant and quiet. The seat was comfortable, there was plenty of room and the route offered lovely views, especially along the river sections. I particularly liked the fact that the train was on time and that it was easy to relax or work during the journey. The staff on board were also friendly and helpful. There was plenty of space for luggage and the announcements were clear and useful.

The journey was surprisingly relaxed. I was initially worried about the time, but the train was pleasantly empty. I sat by the window, had enough space and the on-board staff were friendly. Wifi worked well most of the time, but only went down once. We arrived ten minutes late, but that was bearable for me. Overall, a pretty stress-free experience.

From Hamburg to Düsseldorf I was able to use the ICE, which only took me four hours. The train was very clean and also had a low occupancy rate. The seats were very comfortable and there were plenty of power sockets and a working internet connection on the journey. The staff on the train were very friendly and there was also an on-board restaurant. Unfortunately, the display in my compartment was faulty, so I had to listen to the announcements. In the end, I arrived in Düsseldorf 15 minutes late.

One downside was that it was quite noisy in my car as there were a lot of people on the phone or talking loudly, which was a bit annoying.

I am often travelling to Hamburg on business. As always, I travel by Deutsche Bahn for this. The train was very punctual. The connection is really great and very fast.

In December, I travelled from Hamburg to Düsseldorf to visit a friend. The journey started on time in Hamburg and the reserved seat was very comfortable and convenient. There was also enough space for the luggage. Unfortunately, the train arrived in Düsseldorf a little late, which was not a big deal. The staff on the train were very nice and courteous. They informed all passengers directly which connections could be reached in Düsseldorf.

The train ride from Hamburg to Düsseldorf was really relaxed. My girlfriend lives in Düsseldorf, so I go there quite often. The train was a bit loud and squeaked a bit, but with headphones it was no problem. I especially remember the cheerful and always professional travel staff. The power sockets available at every seat were also nice. The free internet worked great.

I had travelled back to Düsseldorf from Hamburg at the end of last year and wanted a comfortable journey on a long trip like this. The seats were very comfortable and also had power supply on the side for the mobile phone or laptop. The staff on the train were very friendly and also guided me to my reserved seat, as I had not found it at first. The train arrived on time and went through without any problems. In addition, the toilets were cleaned regularly, so you didn't have to feel disgusted like on normal train journeys. I particularly liked the stable internet connection, which allowed me to watch films without any problems. The price was simply top.

It was very cramped on the plane, the food was OK. The hygiene of the toilet on the plane could have been better, but everything was clean at the airport. The transfer itself worked well, but the suitcases were lost in Hamburg and could not be found until today. All in all, the trip was fine, but with one big loss. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend a flight with a change of planes.

The journey from Hamburg to Düsseldorf followed with IC 2021, in second class. It was a quiet night journey with very few passengers. I personally found the journey a bit long, it took about four hours. It's faster with the ICE. The train had no delays. There was free wifi on board. The train was in very good condition, it was clean and hygienic. Overall, the journey was pleasant.

I travelled from Hamburg to Düsseldorf with IC 2021. The journey was in second class, I did not make a reservation and yet there were enough seats. Reference was on time and it makes a very well-kept and technically flawless impression. It was a quiet and relaxing night journey. The staff was friendly. Unfortunately there was no wifi on this train.
Advantages

Disadvantages
IconI cannot complain about anything
I used the FlixTrain on 27 November 2022 for a visit to Hamburg. What I particularly liked about this. The train connection was on time. There was enough space and the comfort was correspondingly good. The on-board staff were very friendly and attentive. As far as technical comfort on board is concerned, I must say that entertainment, such as wifi, and my own power connection were optimal for me. The cleanliness of the toilet facilities was also quite acceptable. The price-performance ratio for this trip was absolutely top. I will book it again and again.
Advantages
IconReliable
IconCheap
Disadvantages
IconNone
I travel to Hamburg once or twice a year to visit a friend. Because of the unbeatable price (especially as an early bird), I prefer to travel with the Flixtrain. Unlike other trains, the Flixtrain is very reliable and usually on time. As I am quite tall, the legroom on this train is also a bit tight, but no worse than on any other train. Unfortunately, the backrests cannot be adjusted. The service is very good and the staff have always been very helpful. On board there is free wifi and on-board entertainment (music, films, audio books) which you can watch on your own mobile phone or laptop. A clear advantage over other trains: even if you haven't booked a specific seat (additional cost), you are guaranteed a seat! However, if you book for more than one person, it is better to make a seat reservation, as otherwise (despite booking at the same time) you are usually not seated together (this could perhaps be improved). The train itself and the toilets have always been "clean" (the behaviour of the passengers also plays a big role here). Conclusion: I really enjoy travelling with the Flixtrain.

Despite being second class, the carriage was well equipped and clean. As it was the IC, the journey dragged on a bit. I didn't notice anything of the landscape at night. The on-board bistro was closed. Overall, the train was very well maintained.

Unfortunately, the cleanliness leaves a lot to be desired. The rubbish is left on the seats and is apparently only cleared away at the end of the day. During my trip, a lady came 3 times and sold hot drinks. Unfortunately, she was very loud, which is not acceptable in a quiet carriage. The ICE had been delayed by about 25 minutes. As a single person, it is very worthwhile to travel by train. With several people, the price-performance ratio is not good

I didn't experience anything bad on this journey.
