Gemma BTrain was as described - an old train but seats clearly marked so you know you’re on the right place and the guards helped. There is enough room above the seats for rucksacks which was great as we kept everything with us. The toilets were also ok just need your own paper.

Jarna BThe trip was good, A-B on time, good price, reliable and safe.

Anissa The bus was confortable but the worse experience during the break for lunch the bus left without us while they had our passport and luggage ! He told us we have 20 min break we left for 15min and once back they were gone ! One men told them that they have to wait for us but the driver didn’t care we had to take a tuk tuk to join the border it’s unacceptable. Happily we were close to the border.
When we reach the border they were there and they didn’t care about us at all, they don’t speak English so they couldn’t understand what we were saying.

Gerhard Bafter we cleaned the windows so that we hat a better view and the table ( the toiletpaper was black) it was a bit more komfotable. We took the train in the morning, we like to make sightseeing by train. Surprisingly it was a sleepingtrain with 4 beds. The beds were still covered, so this was quite clean. We were happy to be the only one so we could sit strait on the lower beds. The floor? We had shoes on, but it was swept! After going by train in several countrys in the world it was something we did not expect.

Danielle TThe train was on time which was a nice surprise as I’d read that trains in Vietnam are always delayed. The staff were kind and very helpful. The seat was somewhat uncomfortable as it kept tilting back and the other passengers around me had trouble sharing the space but that shouldn’t reflect on the train operator. I would use this service again.

Amelie MClean train. Pleasant staff.
Small negative point: the air-conditioning doesn't turn off and the beds are a bit hard.

Jia MIf you need to look it up, the train station is known as GA SÀI GÒN - CỔNG CHÍNH. The location specified on the ticket could not be found. There are some local food stalls selling Bánh mi and coffee, as well as a Lotteria. Snacks, fruits, and drinks are also available on the train. Train feels a little warm.

Anna LThe train is average Vietnamese quality so if you're coming from Europe do not expect it to be anything too neat. There's AC, toilet and train shop for snacks on board. The conductor told us when is our stop (cus we white :)). Chairs are a bit broken and dirty. Took us where we had to go only by being 5min late. And you can board with the electronic ticket!

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.

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.
