Good quick transport. Friendly driver, good bed. But personally if you say 10pm-5am and already start driving 9:30pm and arrive at 4am, I might miss the bus aswell as not get my planned amount of sleep.

On time. There was a toilet on board, which I wasn’t sure there would be, but thankful cause it came in handy. There were 2 pit stops. They offered shuttle to the hotels from the terminal in Sapa. Driver was very good. Wifi was working. It can get pretty cold in the cabins though so good to bring extra layers.

We were 20 minutes late for the sleeper bus meet up because we didn’t know that we were waiting at the wrong terminal. The driver was very kind because he still waited for us. Thank you very much

We had a great experience at our starting point (Noi Bai airport to Sapa). The bus was clean and comfortable with enough space even for two people. We had a transfer from the office at Sa Pa to our hotel included which was great bonus for what we paid. Recommended!
