Almost in time for departure, but more than 2 hours late for arrival, which made me miss what I had booked in the morning..

It was our first trip with the night train in Vietnam and we did appreciate the laman express, we were 2 and we took the cabin with 4 bed, it was only one more person with us . But be carrefull if you have a big luggage and if the cabin with 4 beds is full then it will be very difficult to find a place in the room. We could use the empty bed to put our luggage. The staff was very friendly and helpfull.

We booked the 22:30 bus and we got contacted by the company if we could make the 21:00 bus - due to this reschedule we had to change our plans and drive to another city, which was no problem to do so by the bus company. The bus was on time, clean and made several stops along the way. Upon arriving in Hue we got transferred to a van which drove us to our hotel.

It would have been better down the end of the bus away from the horn blowing. The 8 hour trip probably only took 5 or 6 hours. We had to stop at around 4am to change bus. There was no toilet stop and no English spoken. Our driver just gestured me to an abandoned building to pee.. Ew. Our second bus driver very nicely dropped us at our hotel. It was an experience but not one I will be repeating anytime soon.

Not a crowded compartment with ample legroom. Plenty of food and drink options, and strict attendance checks. Platforms are clearly visible. So, it's a great mode of transport, even though it takes longer than the bus. It does feel safer.
