It was very Good
Ninh Binh to Dong Hoi, Train 4 beds cabin upper berth, Vietnam Rail, Aug 18, 2025
PJ
A great way to travel! We choose a 4berth sleeper cabin for a family of three and i cant fault the service. Dont expect a hotel quality mattress and the best sleep of your life but if you want the excitement of sleeping on the train, travelling overnight and waking up somewhere new with great views on the way i would highly reccomend Very clean cabins, clean toilets and wash basins.the staff in the station and on the train were very helpfull. We wasnt sure when it would be our stop but the cabin staff let you know 20minutes before and inform ylu the night before when to set an alarm

Our trip was far from perfect but Cat Ba Discovery (who we booked with but didn’t undertake our journey) have since been very helpful and reached out after I complained. I am happy with how they have resolved my issues. It is difficult to rate Cat Ba Discovery as they did not provide the service even though we booked with them via 12Go. Duy Khanh Limousine however, were poor. They provided the service/bus journey which was extremely unsatisfactory. There were dirty cabins, it was overbooked, people sitting in the aisle, we were asked to move and not reimbursed for this, various stops to make deliveries, not dropped at the drop off point stipulated on the booking form etc etc. Avoid Duy Khanh Limousine.

The train itself is very old. The toilet is working but everything is so dirty. The cabins are ok. Seem to be quite clean. The bed bunks are ok. Just before we arrived a lady came in and folded our blankets and put them on the pillow, just as we found them when we got on the train. They are therefore not washed changed, thats disgusting. Overall 30€ per Person is the absolute maximum I would pay for a 4 Bed cabin.

Sleeper train was fine. Train was only a few minutes late. Live cockroaches on the train though which was jarring.
