Sharon The bed was comfortable enough and they kindly offered plenty of snacks and drinks however the sheet and pillow was covered in someone else’s hair so clearly not changed between changeovers. Kids also ran up and down the hallways for hours and the cabin constantly smelt like cigarette smoke. Overall, not a comfortable ride.

Olivia HTrain was fine i got some sleep while i was on board but the bed was rock solid. The service was average i liked it more than the sleeper bus cause i actually did sleep but the top bunk has a very small rail to keep you up there. Was

Emma SThe AC was amazing; my only complaint is that passengers and staff smoked in between the trains which then sucked up into the AC unit and pumped directly into the rooms, causing the cabin to smell and took a while to dissipate. Beds were comfortable. Water and snacks were provided and a trolley of food came around which was a nice option to have. Room was clean, Overall, a much better experience than our previous train ride.

Praveen SLaman Express from Lao Cai to Hanoi was great. The bedding etc. even though not as luxurious as Tonkin or Chapa, was more than sufficient for the overnight train ride. The carriage was quiet and even though the train was

Chris MConfusing booking process. I booked online months ago, and was directed to 12go from the train company, so i thought this was the official booking site. Still unclear about that, as i didnt see 12go written anywhere at the train station.
Also, for a train ride completely within Vietnam the booking process took AUD, gave me a receipt in Singapore dollars and advised that any refund would be in Thai bhat. I had no confidence in the booking process because of this.
The ticket booked was a private sleeper cabin for 2 persons. We were given 4x tickets so we knew no one else would be in our cabin. The cabin was comfortable and snacks were provided.
Due to a medical event i tried to change my ticket and didnt ever hear back from 12go, and the train company couldnt help me either.

Zack HThe train itself and Tonkin staff were super helpful. 12Gos support was a little confusing. Somethings could be clearer. The train station in Lao Cai is a little rundown. But Chapa Lounge facilities were great.

Michaeli COrganised, easy to find and board. Offered an upgrade as it was available. Journey was smooth, however the matrresses could do with a little more padding. Everything else was great.
