Kathrin A train journey in a sleeper carriage could be a wonderful experience. Unfortunately, the value for money is terrible. The train was in very poor technical condition. The bathroom and toilets were not clean.
Only the sleeper compartment was nicely appointed, and the staff were extremely friendly and well organised.

Anahita GIt was a great experience to go on the sleepertrain. Really a recommendation. Funny to see the trainstreet from the train’s pov. However the bed is not super comfortable and the trainride can be bumpy/wiggly at times. So not the best quality of sleep.

Nicole SGreat train ride, but at the train station they scammed us wirh a shuttle bus from Lao Cau to Sapa. We paid way to much for a shared bus ride, where the bus driver even redused ro drive us to our homestay.

Kathrin KVery good value for money. Picked up our tickets at the station 1h before the train left without any issues. The train was very clean and the stuff friendly.
Only issue is, that the mattresses are really hard, but for one night it’s ok.

Euan DTrain was on time and very clean. Staff at the station really friendly and helpful. Cabin was comfortable.
Vietnamese rail staff on the train try to sell you extras, so be careful.
Overall great experience.

Kara POverall this was a fine experience. We were booked on Chapa but notified the day before that we would be on a different train line as they had overbooked. There were not a lot of other trains available at that time so we agreed. We were placed in a Vietnam rail car attached to the chapa train. Chapa had tried really hard to make it look nice and in their style but if it looks like a duck, acts like and duck and quacks like duck it’s a duck. I look forward to trying the Chapa train on the return trip because their train looks really cool. The staff at check in and in the VIP lounge were FANTASTIC!!!!
