Wat zijn de treinklassen en -prijzen van Vietnam Railway?
Afhankelijk van de lengte van uw reis en uw voorkeuren kunt u kiezen voor een ticket in eerste of tweede klasse in een slaapwagon voor een reis met overnachting of kiezen voor een harde of zachte zitplaats indien beschikbaar. Merk op dat de keuze van de ticketklassen afhangt van zowel het traject als de lengte van uw reis. In principe kan het zijn dat u in uw trein een plaats in eerste klas vindt, maar dat u die niet kunt boeken als u maar een korte reis van twee uur maakt. In het algemeen zijn tweede klas ligplaatsen een goede keuze voor langere reizen, en zachte zitplaatsen zijn beschikbaar als uw treinrit is verondersteld minder dan 4 tot 5 uur te duren.
Voor en nadelen van reizen per trein
De voordelen van reizen per trein
- Het beste aan reizen per trein is dat er geen files zijn. Zelfs niet in de spits, lange weekends of tijdens het hoogseizoen.
- Tickets kunnen snel en eenvoudig online geboekt worden. U hoeft niet naar het station te gaan, wat nog niet zo lang geleden op veel plaatsen het geval was!
- Prijzen voor treinkaartjes zijn meestal voordeliger in vergelijking met vliegtickets, maar voor bepaalde bestemmingen en reizen kan de totale reistijd bijna gelijk zijn.
- Hoewel reizen per trein natuurlijk langzamer is dan per vliegtuig, liggen de treinstations vaak in het centrum van de stad, wat u veel tijd bespaart om er te komen, terwijl luchthavens bijna altijd een heel eind buiten de stad liggen.
- Reizen 's nachts stelt u in staat te besparen op een hotelkamer en goed te slapen op hetzelfde moment, in tegenstelling tot een nachtbus waar zelfs de slaapklasse niet heel comfortabel is.
- Op bepaalde routes is een luxe service beschikbaar.
Nadelen van reizen per trein
- Voor langere reizen is een treinreis zeker tijdrovender dan een vliegreis.
- Treinen rijden wel op schema, maar vertragingen zijn niet ongehoord bij treinreizen en vertragingen kunnen enorm zijn, dus als u een aansluiting op uw vlucht plant, kijk dan goed hoe laat uw trein op het station aankomt en denk twee keer na.
- Netheid is soms een probleem in tweede of derde klasse, en ook de toiletten zijn niet altijd even hygiënisch.
- Als uw trein veel stopt, is het in sommige gevallen moeilijk om uit te vinden wanneer u moet uitstappen, omdat de haltes niet altijd duidelijk worden aangekondigd of gemarkeerd, met uitzondering van een elektronisch scherm.

Trein was op tijd. 2de klasse geboekt, was qua beenruimte ok, maar de trein kan wel een opfrissing gebruiken. Correcte hulp van de medewerkers met het in en uitladen van zwaardere koffers.

The train was very comfortable and the scenery was great - try to be on the left side of the train (views down the cliff face) and not right at the front or back (no overhead storage). We didn’t see an option to pick seats when booking , but we didn’t really look. Drinks and food are available for purchase. Overall a great experience.

I spend a good night. The train was calm. It however arrived more than 1 hour late at my arrival station. My cabin's door was broken so I could not close it completely : the risk was to stay stucked inside.

and if you’ve never taken a train in Vietnam before, the entire process can be extremely confusing—from booking to actually traveling.
When I booked, I didn’t fully understand the seating and cabin setup. I selected what was labeled as a first-class sleeper, but it ended up being a four-berth cabin, which felt more like a lower-class sleeper. There was no option to choose specific beds, and we were assigned the top bunks. With extra luggage and very limited storage space, I had no choice but to sleep with my luggage at my feet. The bed itself was already hard and uncomfortable, and this made it worse.
There’s also no real dining area. You eat in your cabin, whether you want to or not, which I didn’t realize beforehand. Staff walk through the cabins opening doors to sell food, even if you’re sleeping. Communication was another major issue—the staff spoke no English, so it was stressful not knowing when our stop was coming up. You really have to pay close attention to station announcements and timing on your own.
If I were to do this again, I would only book a four-berth sleeper for private use so the entire cabin is yours. Otherwise, it’s not a comfortable experience, especially with luggage. If you do decide to book, pack light and be prepared for very limited guidance and comfort.
Overall, it’s functional transportation, but far from user-friendly for first-time or international travelers.

The carriage was dirty, and the people made a lot of noise and it was almost impossible to get any sleep. We were delayed by 1 hour and 20 minutes. Definitely not worth the money for the lack of comfort and punctuality, better go by bus it's also cheaper.

I thought I had booked a private 2 berth first class sleeper compartment. When I boarded the train I was shown to the correct coach Number (8) and the seats numbers on my tickets (1 &2) but it was a 4 berth couchette. I tried explained to the train attendant, he just shrugged and pointed to the ticket. Not what I expected. Then at 06:00 the train attendant came and told us we all had to get off and join a fleet of buses because of flooding.
We had to scramble to get all our bags etc together as we were being rushed by the train staff. We then had a 4 hour journey with no stops no water until rejoining another train further along the line. From what was being discussed it appeared this was preplanned. Had I been informed earlier I would have opted to fly instead. I honestly feel let down, which is a shame as I have had good service with your company in the past.

This was our first train experience in Vietnam. We had a first class, 4 bunk cabin, and thankfully only 2 passengers. The bunks were a bit hard, with a pillow and thin blanket. The train was slow and stopped 2 hours in to our journey due to severe weather. We decided to abort the journey at that point and headed to the nearest airport.

Train was on time, quite comfortable trip with beautiful views. I had luck and received my seat (by coincidence) to the left hand side next to the window. Best place to enjoy the panorama. Once at the station, you don’t need to exchange your ticket, you should directly go to the waiting room assigned to your train. (When purchasing the ticket, the platform showed that I would receive it x days before the trip, this didn’t happen, but I received it still on time.)

4 bed 1st class cabin certainly not luxurious but acceptable. Basic facilities. Toilet old but cleaned regularly. Regular food sellers. Hot and cold water available. Bed linen reused between passengers earlier on route. Arrived 4 hours earlier than timetable. Rocky journey, difficult to sleep. Polite and considerate fellow cabin mates.

I booked and paid for a two berth, bottom bunk cabin. I ended in a four berth top bunk. There were cockroaches crawling in the walls, the bedding was most definitely not laundered. Not great.
