The sleeper bus is the most uncomfortable thing for traveling long distance. You can't sleep, your back hurts from sitting in that chair or bed, you have nowhere to stretch. Not for me. In addition to this, perfect for not being allowed to eat inside the bus, it seems super, but it is contradictory when the bus is smelling like Durian that you can not even breathe from how dizzy you are with that smell. If you know someone did that before, do what you need to make your bus smell good and neutralize that smell.

Helpful staff at the Hanoi pickup point, moved me to an earlier bus without charge. Comfortable, clean buses, added bonus of courtesy bus to the hotel when I arrived in Sapa. Recommended!

The time we selected was pushed forward an hour, but the campany at least was in communication with us through whatsapp, and provided us with updates. We were thankful for that communication. Otherwise, this would be all five stars.

Easy to find the office. Bus turned up on time. Really clean with a clean usable toilet. Driver did not drive erratically or beep his horn constantly. All in all, a pleasant trip!
