Itis good sleep bus, but i have some negative during the trip. My sleep place was good for wife 165 feet, but my 175 was unconfortable. No any pillow. In the middle of trip one man was loudly screaming about toilet, so I think all bus awake. All other is good - warm blanket, good staff.

We arrived 4am, as indicated. Drop-off point is a ran down stadium and not a proper parking area and we were made to bring our luggage, under rain and walked 30m to roadside to flag for taxi. Driver told us that they cannot drop us off at road side as we were too early in the morning. But he allowed us to sleep in bus till 6am.

The bus was old, it was not cozy and modern but pink, with child stickers and rustical. The bus driver and other employee were very unfriendly, impulsive and couldnt speak english very well. There was great confusion for customers when we got on the bus because the numbering of the cabins was unclear and silly. People had to change places multiple times, not even the driver could make something supposedly that simple clear to anyone. But at the end it did the job, we areived in sa pa, with a headache tho due to the vibrations of the bus forewarded to my head due to lack of proper sits or cabbin, mattress. I wished a more luxery bus , not a pink weird uncomfortable bus with mickey mouse stickerd all over !!:)))
