Linda BThe bus arrived on time and the bed was comfortable. However, there were people sleeping in the aisle in the middle of the bus, and the bus did not stop at the location where it was supposed to. As a result, I had to take a taxi to the Buffalo Hostel, which was a 10-minute drive.

Frederic Bus was very old and bed were very narrow. No toilet inside the bus and never were we informed when we could have access to toilet. And we had to transfer in another bus early in the morning.

Manon HI strongly advise against taking the 10 PM night bus from Sapa to Cat Ba! It departed Cat Ba at 11 PM and arrived in Hanoi at 4:30 AM. The bus station was closed, forcing me to wait outside in the street until 6:30 AM when it reopened. The bus finally arrived at 7:50 AM.
Once in Cat Ba, some people were dropped off at their hotels for free, while others had to pay 10,000 VND per person for a one-minute ride (it wasn't mentioned anywhere that this fare was charged).

Willi Bus was 1 hour too late and the personal was quite a bit unprofessionell. There was no pick up and drop off service. Moreover the bis also did not have wifi and it was way too cold inside. The personal also cobstanly opend pur cabins and woke us every 1 hour at every stop.

Kelly When we arrived at the bus station in Sa Pa where we were told to be by 7:40 a.m. to board the 8 am HT Travel Bus to Hai Phong, there was no one present to speak with. I messaged through Whats App that we had arrived, and also to make sure we were in the right place. We weren't told until I messaged again at 8:30 am, which was 30 minutes after the bus was due to depart, that the bus had broke down and a van was coming to take us to Lao Cai to catch another bus. The first SUV arrived with room for only one person, but not enough room for us and our luggage. Then, finally, another car came and we left at 9:20 to drive 25 km to Lao Cai. All of this time there wasn't someone to speak with in person. Very poor customer service! The bus was there on the side of the road waiting for us. Then, an hour and a half before reaching our destination in Hai Phong, the bus ran out of gas! The bus was not as clean as other cabin busses we have used in Vietnam. We will never use HT Bus Travel!
