Lovely clean cabin, beautifully made bed and great free snacks. Probably the best mattress we've had in our 3 week stay in Vietnam! Unfortunately the wheels under the carriage were quite loud when the train was turning, the noise went through my earplugs... Otherwise I slept quite well and the views were beautiful! Lots of food trolleys through the evening and morning, and you can also order food delivered, through the QR code.

bed was uncomfy and we were transferred with about bus which put us to the back part of the bus which is shaky. Hoping that you’ll give cabin number in advance not the bus operator who will just assign where are we going to seat. Also, the departure was delayed for 1 hour. No proper waiting area for the passengers.

It was good, bus was clean and lot of rest stops and scenic route but travel agent could have done better like taking our what’s app number and sending us bus number and being in contact with us and helping us with our queries but rather we were completely kept in dark

Staff were quite rude and so unhelpful, the food on the train was some of the worst we’ve had in Vietnam

It’s such a scenic train ride. The view at the end was amazing (Hue to Da Nang). The cabin size and cleanliness was perfect. We had water and a few snacks on board. Plus the possibility to order some fresh food. The bed was comfy. The air conditioning was extreme. Bring extra clothes and a scarf with you. The train was moving slow. The ride was quite bulky. The train’s axles were making very loud cracking noises, so I couldn’t sleep very well. My partner, however, had earplugs and slept like a baby. The train workers were super friendly.

The bed was very uncomfortable and felt as hard as concrete or wood. The ride was also very bumpy, and the bed was quite small, which made it difficult to get a good night’s sleep. In addition, both the cabin and the toilets were very small and not particularly clean.

Good, usb-c charger didn't work but old usb worked. I feel bad for the person which bed was in the walkway. For everything else it was the same as other sleeper bus experiences.

Tipping taxi drivers in Da Nang is not a common practice, but it is appreciated. Most fares include the cost of the ride, and drivers don’t expect additional tips. However, rounding up to the nearest 10,000 VND or leaving small change is seen as courteous, especially for good service. Some taxi companies, such as Mai Linh or Vinasun, have consistent pricing and reliable drivers. If you receive exceptional service, such as help with heavy luggage or efficient route navigation, a modest tip is a kind gesture. Keep in mind that cash is preferred since digital tipping options may not be available.

Standard tipping: Rounding up the fare.
Cash tips are most appreciated.
Helpful for exceptional service but not required.

Offering a tip is entirely at your discretion but shows gratitude in a way drivers understand.

Hanoi: Capital, cultural hub, cooler climate.
Da Nang: Coastal, relaxed, warmer weather.
Key factors: career, climate, lifestyle.
