Hanoi to Sapa Destination Reviews

NF
Driver was incredibly rude and dirty. Stopped the bus early at one point to use the toilet. I went in right after him and he had urinated all over the seat selfishly and hadnt cleaned it up. Ride was good other than that but his attitude throughout the trip was disgusting

The double bed is not a double bed and it’s just 1.65m long. The driver was the whole night on a phone call and rude. No sleep at all

There was a break after about 4 hours. The cabin was clean and comfortable. Unfortunately, the Wi-Fi connection was so poor along the entire route that it was unusable. The staff in the office and on the bus were unfriendly.
