Hanoi to Da Nang Destination Reviews

Yoshitaka H

This was actually whole a lot better than we expected. Personally, I love trains, and as I’m from Japan, the night train is becoming a thing of the past in Japan now. Before we got onboard, I heard it’d be really bumpy and loud since the rail track is a century old, and to be honest, it was indeed bumpy and loud. But, we had actually better experience than Japanese Sunrise Express!! From the refreshments available in the room, hot food service and catering available to comfortable sleeping accommodations, we were blown away by it. Something we can’t have in Japan (if you pay million yen, you could have such experience in Japan, but we aren’t one of those people…) So, it was truly amazing experience for us. I know taking flight or night bus was cheaper and more efficient convenient way to travel, but I’m glad I made the right decision for our first trip to Vietnam! Thank you so much for your hospitality!

My overall experience was challenging with the bus service as I did not realize there would be only two bathroom stops for the entire journey and my sandals were stolen by a staff member on the bus. When I confronted the staff member to ask for my shoes to be returned, they denied and refused to assist with helping to find them. I recognize everyone is responsible for their own items however I had the shoes in a private space behind my seat. The bus driver smoked cigarettes while driving which made it hard to breathe. When I tried reaching out to the customer service channels, no one responded.

The CHAPA Express will be one of my fondest memories from my trip to Vietnam. The train cabin was clean and cozy. The views were incredible. I appreciate how Dean messaged me on WhatsApp to give me directions on where to check in and the lounge. Richard then escorted me to my cabin and helped me get settled. He answered all my questions. Richard was a delight to talk to before my departure. The staff waives you off to Da Nang. Then you start a magical train ride from Hanoi to Da Nang!

Bus was late by 2 hours not their fault to be honest it was bad weather, issue was constantly being told 5mins rather than explaining, tv did not work, no drinks or snacks so take everything you might need with you

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.

The decision depends on lifestyle preferences, work, and climate. Hanoi, Vietnam’s capital, offers rich history, cultural landmarks, and a larger urban economy, making it ideal for career opportunities and experiencing northern traditions.

It’s popular among expats seeking a balance between work and leisure, especially with its proximity to UNESCO sites like Hoi An and My Son.

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

Both cities offer distinct advantages, so evaluate personal priorities when choosing.
