Hoi An to Hue Destination Reviews

SM
The woman at the desk is the rudest person on this planet. She messed up our reservations, sent us there over an 1h early and then the bus driver said it would not stop on the city we had booked to go. However, she kept saying to go on the bus, would not attend any explanations and would not even look at you in the eye. PLEASE AVOID. The only reason we ended up in our city is because the bus driver was kind enough to arrange so. The ticket desk woman will 100% mess your reservations.

They give little information, nor do they speak english which makes it an adventure. The trip itself was ok (Hoi an -> Hue - 3h30). The busdriver rides like all other vietnamese, alot of honking and some aggresive riding. For us this trip was ok, but i can imagine if you do a 8h long trip it will be doficult to actually get some rest.

Driver was irritable and not friendly, piss poor customer service. I was one of the first people being dropped off they buried my suitcase and I had to dig it out from all the other luggage myself once I was dropped off at my destination.

It’s one of the buses where the sleeping seats are super narrow, so you shouldn’t be a big person choosing this bus. And as usual with almost all the sleeping buses: the employees inside the bus are the loudest people in the bus. Luckily I only booked the bus during the day for a three hour ride and it was on time, but for a night ride it’s probably pretty annoying with employees lying next to you on the seat and having loud phone calls. Service was also pretty poor, they didn’t even put our luggage under the bus .

Driver ask to stop for tourist activity. We didn’t agree but he stopped anyway for coffee and cigarette. Then he wanted to charge us 400k for stop. Was a scam

The bus didn’t stop at the drop off that was indicated in the confirmation ticket. We had to walk 20 min to arrive at the drop off. The bus driver told us he « couldn’t go into the city ». Why put a location for the drop off if it’s not where we stop?!!

Used the service from Hoi An to Hue. We booked a limousine 9 vehicle, however, it was completely filled and friend and I were rammed in the front seat. Luggage was squished in between everyone. Told to arrive early to check in, completely unnecessary. We were then taken by car with other people to Da Nang to get dropped off which was never stated. Other arrangements would have been made if we knew what this trip was going to be like. Lack of communication too.
