James GCarriage, compartment and definitely the toilet had seen better days. "VIP"? Not one bit.

Hannah MThis is a really good option for travelling from Hanoi to Hue, it was well organised and pretty comfortable for a train bed! There was a good selection of free things in the room and the food cart came round pretty regularly. It was on time and the toilets were clean, give it a go!

Bianca MCould’ve been worse. Any 14h train ride I feel wouldn't be ideal, especially when you’re on the top bunk and you can barely see out the window. The beds weren’t soft beds (by Vietnam standards anyway) they just felt like hard mats but was able to get sleep anyway. Toilets were filthy. Make sure you bring your own toilet paper. Staff weren’t that helpful helping you board like they say they would but they do alert you when it’s your stop. Overall, a very average experience and definitely the maximum amount of time I would take the train.

Vivian D+ Good service and the train was on time.
- The ride was bumpy and we couldn‘t really sleep. The toilet could be modernised.

Anna MGreat trip! Exchanging the voucher for tickets was very easy. Staff were helpful.
Train carriage was clean, beds were clean, toilets were pretty good for a train.
We even got some snacks, water, ...
overall a great experience!

Ian FEven though we originally booked 2 lower births in a cabin. After a couple of stops the guard insisted that I moved to the upper birth to allow a lady to have the lower one. But the upper birth was comfortable once I had managed to get up there. The guard knocked on the door to let us know that our station was next and directed us to our exit.

Roman Dfirst-class compartment is overpriced. For more than 130$ you have very poor breakfast and hot soft drinks and beer (that should be cold actually), no toiletries, no towel, even no trainman in our coach.
AC works well.
Toilet is clear.
Wifi is promised but doesn't work.

James DAll was very good but there was no wi-fi even though it's supposed to be provided.

John HI’m easy to please. The VNR train wasn’t what I booked or paid for but the views are the same from any window. I was bumped from Lehman and placed on a VNR car. It seems this is too commonplace. The communication from 12go.asia was top notch. Timely and thorough.

Ilya KBoth the lower and upper berth were long enough for us (at least 185 cm). The air conditioner was weak, so it wasn't very cold. The sheet doesn't cover the entire bed, so either bring your own sheet or wear pyjamas.
