Dong Hoi to Ninh Binh Destination Reviews

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!

Car had working ac. Very tight seats for long legs, but they reclined. Very dirty everywhere. Bathrooms are disgusting, but I plan ahead and bring lots of tp and wipes.

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.

The booking was very smooth. The only thing: I was unsure regarding the outcome of the booking, given I booked with less than 24h before departure and only received confirmation a few hours later. Q&A was not informative in that sense. The train arrived with 40 minutes of delay and the coach was not clean. Overall, the trip went well.
