The tour began with the bus driver and his assistant completely ignoring us and walking away from us with a "ugh" sound when we asked how to find out which bus we were supposed to enter. They ignored us in the rudest way possible. The assistant to the bus driver then spent the entire ride speaking loudly. At one point, around 2AM, I was woken up by him loudly tearing open the covers to my compartment and speaking loudly in Vietnamese. I saw him do the same with all the other passengers, without even closing the blinds for the passengers that didn't wake up. Obviously I did not understand what he was saying, as someone who does not look Vietnamese, and he did not try to explain or look me in the eyes whatsoever. I was woken up by this and the consequence was being unable to sleep for the entire bus ride after that, meaning when I arrived I was completely exhausted. There's no point with booking a sleeper bus if the workers on board wake the passengers up like this. We used a different bus company to take a sleeper bus from Hanoi to Sa Pa, and although the compartments were less comfortable we were treated like human beings and able to sleep better due to no rude awakenings. The workers there attempted to communicate in English when they could, and even if they couldn't they at least looked us in the eyes and treated us patiently. There was also no consequences for passengers watching YouTube videos on speaker phone or talking loudly during the night. I never write bad reviews, but this experience shook me a bit as I was so exhausted by the end of it. I regretted having booked the bus at all as I was too tired the day after to do any of the things I was looking forward to. I had to sleep the whole afternoon to catch up. The same went for my partner who was in the neighbouring compartment.

It was fine. The cabins are comfortable and clean. We stopped quite a lot for breaks (3 times in 6 hours - too often for us) but were over an hour late into Hanoi. As we’d booked the bus to the old town, we had to get off and wait for a mini bus which took an age to get anywhere near the old town. We just jumped off near our hotel.
