Excellent bus cabin. arrived at the airport with in the time stated. The coach did leave an hour late. Picked up by mini bus and taken to ticket office. Very well organised. Made 2 stops for 20 minutes.

Comfortable bus (with clean on board toilet) we left on time and even arrived ahead of schedule. We took the option to the Airport and a quick transferbus (short ride) was already waiting for us when the big bus arrived. There were even announcements in English about the rest break and arrival at the airport. Recieved a whatsapp in advance as a reminder so I could directly verify the location of the bus station. Best bus experience in Vietnam so far compared to other sleeper busses.

The bus was nice and they had wake up service for our stop. The toilet at the stop had a fee and we got dropped some km from the airport which brings down the score.

Second time taking the overnight sleeper van, but this time out of Sapa. The bus stop was crowded at night and staff didn't have time to answer questions. The buses were delayed but somehow we were still able to make it to our destination early, with 2 rest stops in the middle. Rest stop is simple and very quiet but felt safe with other passengers getting off to use the bathroom. No payment required. When traveling to Hanoi Airport, please note that it is the first stop and they will make the announcement. The driver will come check to see if you're awake to get you off the bus, much appreciated. Don't miss the bus because it continues onward into Hanoi city center. Would recommend riding with HK Busline.

Not the best

Second sleeper bus I have tried. First one was a Kim Long and it was true to the name a little longer and more comfortable for a tall guy (194cm) I was able to lay diagonally in the seat and stretch out. Also had many air vents and USB chargers. This bus was a KIA and much less comfortable. Less air vent, no USB chargers, the curtain rod was broken and the windows all had LED lighting that was obnoxiously bright for an over-night ride making it impossible to look out the window in the dark. Lucky every window has blinds so the personal cabin can still get nice and dark. Overall a sleeper bus is great and very comfortable way to travel. HK bus line is also a good company that is helpful and provides pick/drop off services too and from the main bus stations. Tip for travellers is to ensure that you’re pick up is an actual HK employee/HK labelled van. I witnessed a pair of travellers assuming an unmarked taxi was free since they were being taken to HK bus depot and because of the language barrier this was an honest mistake but an avoidable one nonetheless.
