A cabin we got is perfectly fine, clean and comfy bed. In my opinion, i think Sapaly is much better than Fansipan. However, the rail system between Sapa and Hanoi is still very bad!! I could hardly sleep because of the trains' shakes and noise. well i doubt that bus could be a better option since the streets looked scary!
We could't find anywhere on 12go asia or on the voucher how to get our tickets, making it really difficult to get in the train. We Also had to change room several times because the crew could not find our reservation.
Train is beautiful and good experience. Easy to sleep and not tried in 7hr riding time.
I feel ticket counter is little difficult to find, but it's not serious.
Because of our Trekking during the day i was able to sleep just fine on the way back. Sapaly is also one of the better company’s to book with, you get water, slippers, etc.
I would recomend if you need to go to the toilet go in the beginning of the trainride. Because it starts to smell.
I travelled before on this train in a 4 berth cabin, very uncomfortable mattress and only a sheet and blanket so in comparison the 1st class sleeper is very comfortable. Good mattress and very comfy duvet. Friendly and helpful rep. Train is obviously very noisy when moving at speed so it is difficult to sleep. Toilet ok in 1st class due to fewer people using it.
Room was clean and it has free amenities, a bottle of water and te/coffe morning. The toilet was very dirty. Pay atention, to pick up the voucher ticket is a out 10 minuts by walk from the main entrance.
After a night with Vietnam Railways, the Sapaly express seems like a 4-star hotel. No cockroaches, clean, very nice and clean blankets and even some snacks, water, beer and coke included (VIP package). Enough toilet paper in the toilet but still a train toilet so wear shoes when you go to the toilet.
Enjoyed the trip...i love their morning coffee. Do not expect very clean/odour free washroom but its as good as it can be. The washroom comes with water host. Overall experience was great
I was looking for a ticket booth but couldn't find any. Finally I found the train but the guy at the train made me wait about 30 mins before let me in to the train. I was up set and disappoint for the service I received as a VIP customer.
We've had a 2p cabin which was great, also because of a double matress. Clean cabin and beds. When we entered the cabin, the floor was still a little wet from cleaning. We didn't used the toilets.
Very noisy and uncomfortable. Much better to go with sleeping bus: is shorter, there is no noise and is cheaper. We payed almost 300€ for 2 way VIP cabin and ee had a horrible experience
