We booked the nighttrain from Ninh binh to Hue. The train arrived on time but that was about the only good thing about the train. The cabins were outdated and not really like the picture online. There was a lot of vermin, mostly cockroaches crawling up the walls next to you head. Some even on the bed. The toilet was about the worse i’ve seen. We did travel with other nighttrains from other companies and they were better! Also good to now. This is a stoptrain. So you make different stops allong the night

As comfortable as you can expect. I am 5'10 and it was almost an inch too short but quite wide enough. The bed was quite comfortable. Even though my wife and I were in the very 1st bunks and the driver and his friend would sometimes talk and he would sometimes honk the horn, our earplugs were good enough to let us sleep. He also stopped often enough for toilet (and a couple of more 5 minute smoke breaks!). Overall, I would do it again. Note that the bed was wide enough that my wife jumped from her bunk into mine (she is 44kg and I am 83kg) and we slept the whole way quite comfortably in the same bunk and used hers for storage!

We left 1h late and arrived 50mins late, driver was driving very fast and honking all the time even lately at night or very early in the morning. Only take a small bag inside, beds aren't wide enough and there's no storage space.
