There currently are a variety of options to travel by night train from Hamburg (Germany) to Frankfurt am Main (Germany), taking between approximately 5 and 9 hours: Namely the NJ 471, the ICE 619 and the ICE 921. These lines are operated by ÖBB and DB.
ÖBB
The Austrian Federal Railways (ÖBB) operate the Nightjet and Euronight trains (the latter together with other national railway agencies).
What types of carriages are available on ÖBB trains?
ÖBB night trains typically feature four types of carriages: seats, couchettes, the compact Mini Cabin, and sleepers.
What's the difference between seats, couchettes, Mini Cabins, and sleeper cars?
Seats are for the bravest, while couchettes, Mini Cabins, and sleepers provide a more comfortable journey. In the couchettes, you can find simple and rather narrow berths. The Mini Cabin is a compact sleeping option for solo travelers – two Mini Cabins can be combined for couples. Sleepers are equipped with proper beds and sometimes even a private bathroom. Couchettes can hold up to six people. The Mini Cabin is a private space for one person – two adjacent Mini Cabins can be connected for traveling together. Sleepers are private compartments for one to three people.
What amenities do sleeper cars offer?
Sleepers may include a private bathroom or shower, or sometimes just a sink. The Mini Cabin bridges the gap between couchettes and sleepers, offering solo privacy at a lower price point.
DB
Does Deutsche Bahn still operate night trains?
Deutsche Bahn (DB) exited the actual night train business in 2016. However, it operates around a dozen Intercity and Eurocity trains that run exclusively at night.
What are the travel conditions like on these trains?
In these night trains, there are only first and second class seats. The lights stay on all the time and there is no way to recline the seats.
