Flixtrain Dortmund Berlin recent customer reviews

Even though when we booked the tickets, it noted we could have 2 largish and 2 small suitcases. They did not have spaces for the large suitcases. The had limited wifi which lasted about 20 minutes. Not so good if the trip lasted 5 hours. No charging stations near the seats. And the seats were uncomfortable
