Da Nang to Ninh Binh Destination Reviews

The train ended up being very easy and comfortable. I didn't have to show the voucher and exchange for a boarding pass anywhere the staff recognised is and were happy with that. Initially they had me in a four berth bay by myself but then the train attendant said that the company had moved me into a two-berth cabin. An upgrade. That was fine until around 9pm a man came and said he was sleeping in the other bed. A little bit awkward as there is not much room between the two beds. But apparently he was travelling with his wife and kids and they couldn't all fit in their cabin. Other than that, the train was on time, I slept well and arrived rested for exploring the next day. Oh and bring food or snacks because the the food on the train is expensive and not that great. But overall a good experience and I'd do it again for sure

On time. Compact cabin but well laid out for 4 adults and suitcases. Snacks laid on for brekkie and lots of food / drink offers from the train staff. Mattresses a little hard but her decent kip. WiFi just about allowed us to watch all and World Cup game live. And England won!!

The overall experience was better than I imagined. There were plenty of goodies. The air conditioning in the cabin was okay. If you were on the top bunks you couldn’t feel it much.

The whole experience was a pleasure. The cabins were so clean and neat. The toilets were cleaned every hour. Highly recommend the foot spa too.

We liked our experience but it was more expensive than a flight and a flight is a much better experience. They could work on cleaning more and having better breakfast. It’s something to do once, I would recommend over a sleeper bus for sure!

Just ok. Train was a bit dirty. Operator put the two tickets we bought on one booking into different train cars. Very annoying.

Our 2 bed cabin was switched to a 4 bed cabin due to a car issue which gave us less head room as I am 6' tall. Overall the cabin was nice. The bedding had slight odor. The cabin temperature also fluctuate during the night making it uncomfortable to sleep. For the cost of $450CAD and time of 14 hours, taking a plane would have been better.

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.
