Brett IOur train was delayed to the point that we had to change our ticket for another train. Smoking at the ends of the carriages seems ok so had smoke in our room. AC in our carriage eventually came on and was pleasant enough. Good if you are after a travel experience ;)

Emilie When we booked first class and paid over 90 dollars, we certainly did not expect to be put on a train with such bad hygiene, the toilets were so disgusting, extremely hard beds, and very noisy. Super disappointed..

Mar FWe paid 45€ for conditions that did not correspond to the price.
The train was very rough. There were three bunk beds and almost no room... the people were very friendly and the staff, despite not understanding English, too.
Keep in mind that no one can fit!!!! Porteu menjar de fora O haureu de pagar-lo dins!!!!

Karen SThe carriage itself was fine, but the toilets were awful. All 4 around our carriage were blocked by the end of the journey and we had to go up several carriages to find one that worked.

Markus EWir sind mit dem SE1 von Da Nang nach Saigon gefahren. Wir können die ganzen schlechten Bewertungen hier nicht verstehen. Die 4er Kabine war bequem, die Laken waren frisch und es gab eine saubere Decke und ein Kissen. Die Toiletten waren für einen Zug ok, von der sauebrkeit vergleichbar mit deiner deutschen RE Bahn. Für uns war es ein super Erlebnis, wir hätten aufgrund der schlechte Bewertungen uns fast für einen Flug entschieden und sind super froh mit dem Zug gefahren zu sein.
Einzig der Service von 12go asia war nicht sehr hilfreich.. Hatten uns extra die beiden unteren Betten gebucht. Ohne Nachricht etc. haben wir dann jedoch die zwei oberen zugeteilt bekommen. Schade, da man dort nicht so gut aus dem Fenster schauen kann.

How to get from Da Nang to Ho Chi Minh City by Train
Taking a train to get from Da Nang to Ho Chi Minh City 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. This is typical for intercity travel, while for long distance train routes there are fewer scheduled departures – plan ahead to choose the one that fits your itinerary best.
For long distance train journeys, we recommend reserving your tickets at least a few days ahead of your travel date. Buying train tickets via our online booking system will allow you to choose and reserve the best Da Nang to Ho Chi Minh City tickets.
Buying your tickets online will help you secure the trip on the selected date and avoid queuing at the station.. When travelling on weekends and holidays it is recommended to reserve tickets much earlier due to a much higher demand. During high season, train tickets sell out quickly – do book as early as you can.

How long does it take to get from Da Nang to Ho Chi Minh City by Train?
Travel time from Da Nang to Ho Chi Minh City is estimated to be about 18h 3m. Trains ensure the fastest time to travel by land. As normally there is no congestion, the speed of travel is more or less constant and stops at train stations are rather short, train is almost always one of the quickest and safest ways to get from Da Nang and Ho Chi Minh City.
The most important thing that may affect train travel time is the type of train. Ordinary trains travel at a speed of about 40 mph or 65 km/h to 65 mph or 105 km/h. Some intercity trains with shorter distances between stations run slower than 40 mph. Even with these low speeds, it can still be faster than commuting by car, bus or taxi.
The speed of express trains can reach up to 100 mph or 160 km/h. Modern high-speed trains can run at speeds exceeding 250 mph or 400 km/h.
These speeds of travel together with relatively short stops between stations can greatly shorten the duration of your trip.

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.
