Excellent trip. Booked a vIp cabin for four- there were three of us so you have to put in one persons details including passport details twice which is allowed. Cabin was clean.. there were some drinks,Christ’s and a breakfast box with bread jam banana yogurt. Sleep was good, toliet was clean and so was was basin. They have. A machine for hot water and cold water so you can bring your own pot noodles.

Although a little small, the cabin was comfortable and luckily we could just fit our suitcases under the bunks! If you had 4 people in the cabin it would have been much tighter! The little goody bags provided were great!

Was okay without being over the top. Enjoyed the scenery before dark and dawn. It's one of those been there done that trips in life. 16 hours maybe I for me just a little too long.

Beds were too hard and the blanket was too short for tall people. The carriages are not new as they claim to be.

It's meant to be a luxury experience and it isn't. Cabin is dirty, beds uncomfortable and we brought out own food this time as the snacks offered are laughable. Not worth the money. Fly instead.

This was my first experience on a highly recommended sleeper train, and I was genuinely excited for the journey. Based on the reviews, reputation, and premium price, I expected a comfortable and memorable experience. Unfortunately, the reality was the complete opposite. During the journey, a woman in our cabin was openly smoking what appeared to be marijuana. The smell filled the compartment and was impossible to escape. I became physically sick from the odor and was unable to sleep for much of the trip. She was also heavily intoxicated, making the experience even more uncomfortable for everyone sharing the cabin. What was most concerning was that this was not a discreet incident. The smell was obvious, other passengers could smell it, and staff either failed to notice or failed to take appropriate action. At no point should paying passengers be subjected to drug use inside a shared sleeper cabin. When I later raised the issue, I was asked whether I informed staff. There was little need to do so when the smell was so strong that anyone walking through the carriage could have detected it. Staff were present throughout the journey, and this situation should never have been allowed to continue. I genuinely wanted to represent this company positively and even hoped to explore future collaboration opportunities. Instead, I was left disappointed by what felt like a complete lack of supervision and customer care. Rather than enjoying what was supposed to be a premium sleeper train experience, I spent the journey simply trying to make the best of a bad situation because the train was fully booked and there was nowhere else to go. For the prices being charged, passengers should expect safety, comfort, cleanliness, and attentive staff. In my experience, those standards were not met. As a first-time sleeper train passenger, this was not the experience I was promised, and certainly not the experience I paid for. ⭐.7120693409341E+32;

How to get from Da Nang to Hanoi by Train

Taking a train to get from Da Nang to Hanoi is a safe, fast, and scenic option to travel the country. On certain routes, there are multiple train departures per day every 10 to 15 minutes.

Buying your tickets online will help you secure the trip on the selected date and avoid queuing at the station..

Best-Rated Companies for this Route

Unlike buses or taxis which have numerous companies offering their services, train service is usually offered by just one major company in each country. As railway service requires a large amount of infrastructure, most railway companies are government-owned and are a part of the national transport system.

One of the best advantages of travelling by train is that railway stations are often conveniently located within or very near major cities and urban areas. Immediately on arrival to their destination, travellers find themselves in close proximity to important facilities like hotels, supermarkets, and hospitals.

If you travel with a lot of bags and luggage, trains are your best option. Luggage weight limits on trains are rather flexible and allow you to carry multiple bags with you.

Special or luxury trains feature sufficient legroom which allows you to stretch your legs and relax. In comfort and space these train seats can be compared to business class airplane seats.

Similar to buses, trains can provide a variety of amenities to make your travel more comfortable and enjoyable. Modern trains have WIFI service, a snack counter and a drinking bar. Onboard toilets can be a life saver for travellers with queasy stomachs.

Lastly, unlike buses and other overland means of transport, trains are very rarely involved in accidents.
