Not on time, seats broken, out of service toilet

Good, just not the most friendly staff. Ripped open my curtain to tell me to stop eating a snack. Bus left Hanoi an hour late and arrived more than an hour late in Sapa. Bus was very comfortable though. Had a nice bathroom on board.

The bus left on time. There is no food on the bus (which is good, otherwise the whole bus would stink). You get 1 small bottle of water (water can be brought in). WiFi didn't work, but 4G/5G was all the way (Viettel). The beds/seats are a little short, so taller people will have to bend a little, but it's okay. After 3 hours, there is a break for lunch (food can be bought on the spot, it is more expensive, of course, but it is available if you did not bring it). The trip was pleasant and I recommend it. I didn't feel it after 6 hours of driving.

Great trip, only had a really small cabin for two of us and were not able to sit straight (cabin 21 in the back, lower tier).
