Ninh Binh to Hue Destination Reviews

MC
No bigger issues, we’ve arrived punctual.
Ninh Binh to Hue, Bus Sleeper 38, Queen Cafe Bus (Queen Cafe Bus), Oct 26, 2025
EV
Worst night experience ever with a bus. The bus arrived early so we had to rush our dinner to come early to the meeting point. The driver was so rude to us, yelling in Vietnamese, no English. Grabbing our arms and luggage. The bus was dirty and the people on it too.

MO
Good transport but no wc inside, which is important to make a night transportation. Theorically the first stop is 4 hours after leaving, but there no was more stops. We should ask for stop to go to the toilet before the 4 hours and that was the only stop we did. Also we arrived 2 hours before scheduled and that in a night transportation doesnt mean its good, we arrived so early so we must take an extra hotel night.

The cabin was clean and the beds comfortable and large enough. We got some snacks and a bottle of water. Toilet was clean and usable, as well as a sink with mirror for washing. The comfort during night was ok, as the train is pretty loud and moving a lot. If you are sensitive to noise and movement I would maybe take a bus instead.

The bus stop is clean, with seats available, and there are restaurants nearby where you can have dinner. The staff will call you as soon as the bus arrives, but please make sure to return on time. My bus was delayed for 15 minutes waiting for one passenger to finish his meal.

Just a little bit noisy. For the rest, everything was fine. Train arrived on time (started from Ninh Binh 10 minutes in advance, beware!)

No announcements from driver on stops. I just happen to wake up and noticed we stopped. Got off bus for bathroom break and bus driver told me to just pee on the ground next to the bus
