Dong Hoi to Ninh Binh Destination Reviews

Cabin was not clean when we entered. Had to ask for fresh sheets and cleaning of table/ removing garbage ourselves. Cabin looket very poor, not wel maintained, not clean. Not at all like the photo as advertised on 12go Asia. No welcome package.

The trip was fine. I am still waiting an answer to understand why I had a 400.000đ difference between what I paid and what 12go charged me. 12Go's bot gave me an answer that does not fit with my situation. Please I ask you to answer the questions I sent via email. Thanks in advance.

Expected better from a 1st class sleeper train. Not worth the money, I would save money and get the bus. Very noisy, can hear other passengers, very hard bed and unclean

Journey was really relaxing. Great breakfast box and water. You get boiled water and can prepare a coffee. Although the train left on time, it unfortunately arrived 2 hours late. And: The train attendant, who offered us for our booked 4-bed compartment, was extremely strange that she could make sure that no more guests would come into our share. Since the train wasn't very full anyway and we thought it was unlikely that someone would come to the night compartment at the few stops, we thanked her gratitude. The price proposal was 600 thousand dong! Then she wanted to trade the price down! When we turned down again, she reacted disappointed. tourist trap!

We choose poor since the felt overall the cabin was not clean, the blanked and pillow seemed to be used before, the toilets were disgusting, the AC was too strong. We think the space for sleeping and storing was sufficient and well designed. Plus, we were on time. Personell on the departing station was very kind.
