Hanoi Old Quarter to Sapa Destination Reviews

RG
When we arrived at the office they gave us a ticket for a bus 1 hr earlier. It meant we didn't have time to get food and visit an ATM as planned. The bus was comfortable and the toilet on board was clean. Staff on board were not particularly friendly with no communication at any point in the journey other than to take off shoes. The TV screens didn't work. Some of the USBs did work but not all.

The booking was prerry easy and straight forward. We was urgently booking the earliest possible bus. We got confirmation within 5 min. We arrived at the pickup point an hour later and they were able to put us on an earlier bus which was the best

Fantastic coach, clean and comfortable, great wifi, only thing that let it down was couldn’t find the meeting point at Hanoi airport as email information just said the airport, I managed to message them and they came and got me from a spot which they sent me a photo of.

The bus left 30 minutes early, and we arrived at 4:00 a.m. instead of 5:00 a.m. It was hard to get any sleep because the bus was making a lot of noise (there were also a few potholes on the way that shook us a bit)… The upside: 2 small bottles of water in each cabin.

They were late by an hour. But it was comfortable and overall a nice experience

The bus driver spent the entire time talking on the phone and watching videos while driving. Shockingly unsafe. For whatever reason the bus stopped 5 different times on the way. Seats/beds were comfortable. When we got to Sapa they did drive us to our hotel but the shuttle driver was unimaginably rude and angry. Not sure why.

06:30-12:30 sleeper bus from Hanoi to Sapa. Times not great but slept well on bus. Couple of stops along the way for toilet/food. Well organised in comparison to other sleeper busses.
