Great service and experience. Highly recommend
Hanoi to Dong Hoi, Train #SE19 1st Class Sleeper, Laman Express, Aug 2, 2025

The bus arrived almost one hour late and given we are told to arrive 45 mins early meant we waited for two hours in the rain with no communication from the bus company.

The confirmation came to late, the ticket I finally received couldn’t be found in the system so that I couldn’t take the planned bus. I needed to pay additionally for a upgrade to travel to the intended place. I complained but still haven’t got a reaction.

We were called by the train company over whats app, if we boarded the train. Afterwards, a train worker brought us our printed tickets to the cabin - really sweet. The train was old, but tidy. Aircon worked, toilets as well. We had one hour delay.

The train is dirty (there was a cockroach walking on the wall of my bed), the cabin is always out of number because even if there’s just 6 beds, they will put more people inside. The bed on the top is cold as hell because of the air conditioning, and in our case it smell so much as cigarette smoke. It’s impossible to sit because there’s no space, and is full of people outside doing a lot of noise. Almost all the stuff is rude and it will treat you really different compared to Vietnamese. Only good points in that was on time and that luckily the people in the cabin with us were not so bad.

The train itself was comfortable and everything ran on time. The young woman at Mango was very professional and helpful, especially since we were not given tickets through the 12GO app. She had to make an exception. Also, we had to walk around the train station with our luggage because the official train employees obviously did not like us. We couldn't understand the language, but they shouted angrily and sent us a circuitous route. We are worried because we are taking another train tonight and we have not received our tickets; only a voucher, just like last time.
