My husband and I were on a cruise excursion that left on a train out of this station. Our train was rented by the cruise line, so we did not have to purchase tickets ourselves. The station had many signs that listed the train number, destination, and time. The staff efficiently guided the many tourists onto the train. The train ride lasted over two hours, but it was tolerable because the seats were spacious enough. I do wish, however, that the train had more toilets.

Lifts and stairs to all platforms, well signposted and a decent number of ticket machines. Also worth nothing is the number and variety of shops here.

Which isn't horrible if you don't have any questions to ask and can figure out from the schedule sign when your trains are coming.

This train station is the end of line, so no worries about overshooting. There were a mix of express trains and local lines between the two cities and the trains were modern and ran on time. The train station is within easy walking distance of the Cruise Center, beach and promenade with bars, restaurants and shops. In the heat of summer, it was downright idyllic. Every time we passed by, there would be some form of musical entertainment in the walkway leaving the station. There weren't a lot of ticket agents about, but there were usually police officers who were able to answer our basic transportation questions. Also, very few shops at this location. Many more options at Rostock and that is where we stocked up on food and drink items for the longer train ride into Berlin.

Three staff on duty trying to help, but we ended up with one who spoke no English and looked like she had an electric shock when we asked for a Mecklenburg Lander ticket. Train then proceeded to stick around well after the departure time and we missed the connection in Rostock. Not a good start to the day. But the station was clean and tidy, well located and no stairs for no real reason.
