Colin DMy journey was a 6 berth sleeper from Ninh Binh to DaNang. It was an experience worth doing but I wouldn't rush to do it again - rather I would pay a few dollars extra to go to the nearest airport and fly. On boarding, I had someone in my bunk and had to get them to move. A family of 6 was using 4 bunks and had used most of the floor space with their luggage which included something leaking. The train carriages are old, and it is at times a very rough ride. Happy to say toilets were clean, but they are very small.

V PThe beds where clean, we had good and warm enough blankets and a perfekt sized pillow. In our opinion it was good that the train had smooth dampers, which despite the wobbling of the train made it possible for us to sleep. We had a small cake a banana and milk as breakfast, got 1 small bottle of water and 1 Coke only the hot water for tea or coffee was missing. Toilets we're OK.

Lynda HGood enough, not great, but Surprisingly OK in VIP cabin 2x on SE1. The Cabin was fine. Bed comfortable enough, wide & long enough for 1.80m. The crew came & only tidied the beds as we were getting off in Danang but didn't change any linen at all. I think the linen had already been used before us but it looked clean enough. Toilet was disgusting but later it was cleaned to Vietnam clean. Lunch was served to us in the cabin & was surprisingly OK & tasty. Only 2 water bottles & packet type"coffee" provided. No beers or soft drinks or fruit as suggested. Train departed on time but 1 hour delayed on arrival. Ninh Binh station was in almost darkness when we arrived & we though we had a problem but then found 2 local ladies also waiting so we're reassured. We were the only 4 to get on at 00.15 & it was a little creepy. The station has sign to advise where to wait depending on carriage. When the train arrives, a crew puts out a small sign with the carriage number. The lesser class carriages looked fairly grim & I don't think we would try those. Only saw 2 very small baby cockroaches when the lunch was served. Reviewed by a retired couple from New Zealand.

Elise TSeats were very short so could not fully lie down and were just generally uncomfortable. Got dropped off at a random spot on the side of the road at 4am and had to crawl inside the underside of the bus to get our luggage. Very chaotic experience.

Daniel TThe 1st class, 4 berth compartments are as expected and previously shown in the pictures. There was a USB charging point at each bed. Unfortunately it was very loud and restless on the train during the journey due to the other passengers. I would take the train again on my next trip.

How to get from Ninh Binh to Da Nang by Train
Taking a train to get from Ninh Binh to Da Nang 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 Ninh Binh to Da Nang 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 far is it from Ninh Binh to Da Nang?

How long does it take to get from Ninh Binh to Da Nang by Train?
Travel time from Ninh Binh to Da Nang is estimated to be about 13h 22m. 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 Ninh Binh and Da Nang.
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.
How much does it cost to get from Ninh Binh to Da Nang by Train?

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.
