EB
Excellent train. We travelled on SE2 (one of the newer trains - check ‘the man in seat 61’ website for an explanation of Vietnamese trains). I read some other reviews, including bad ones about the state of the trains. Our cabin was very clean, the restaurant car was a nice place to sit and watch the world go by, the toilet smelled but you’re on a train - what can you really expect? We could not smell it in the carriage. The staff were helpful. The bedding was clean and the people we shared a cabin with slept the whole time. You have a little light and charging point at the head of the bed. My partner is almost 2m tall and he fit in the bed laying flat out. There was ample room for luggage above the door to the cabin. Vietnam have excellent trains considering where you are, much better than a coach for sure!

Train was clean and staff friendly. The ride is quite shaky compared to trains in other countries. AC was very cold during the night.

My issues arose at the airport. Luckily I was very early as it took 45 mins to work out I did have a booking. Firstly 12go instructions are not clear about where to go at the airport. The staff at Vietjet could not find my booking number. The one supplied by 12go did not match their requirements, a 6 piece alpha-numeric code. They kept telling me I wasn't booked. It was quite distressing. Eventually one clever lady used my name and email and found my booking so I was able to fly. Not sure I'd use the 12go service again

Transport and bed was comfortable, but the train was very loud during night, so it was very hard to sleep. Unfortunately the lock didn't work, so the door opened and closed at each station. The service however was truly amazing. The conducters checked the compartment at every stop to make sure everything's fine and occasionally closed the door. Finally I was Reminder to get off at my destination, as I don't speak Vietnamese and the announcements were in Vietnamese only.

The trip wasn’t so bad but the cigarette smoke nearly killed me I’ve been suffering asthma and a chest infection ever since I got off the train I thought it was a non smoking train guards didn’t care if people smoked some went between carriages left doors open and the smoke filled the carriage with lots of people coughing ruined the trip for me
