I paid for a Deluxe trip, but apparently the coach was in repair and we got a substandard coach with hard beds, we had to pay for coffee and tea and the attendant didn’t communicate this well.
Also, we asked if the trip could be booked earlier, and I received an answer after more than two days when we were already at the station platform.
Train itself was good, but I would seriously consider booking a 4 berth if there is only two of you. The mother/daughter we shared with were lovely but the mum snored the entire time. Great to engage with the local children who want to improve their English at the train station prior to departure.
Es ist ziemlich laut und wackelig. Die Betten sind steinhart. Wie mussten dem Zugbegleiter 500.000 geben, damit er uns keine weitern Gäste ins Abteil einteilte. Eine Quittung für die 500.000 erhielt wir nicht.
Pünktliche Abfahrt, komfortables Schlafabteil, alles in allem eine sehr angenehme Fahrt. Der Verkäufer am Morgen, der uns zu dem (inbegriffenen) Frühstück noch Bao Buns und Bahn Mi-Stangen verkauft hat, war allerdings recht aufdringlich...
Wir hatten mit unseren 2 kleinen Kindern ein Viererabteil für uns alleine und die Nacht war durchaus okay. Die Betten sind etwas hart, aber okay das Essen vor Ort im Zug war super und alles lief problemlos ab. Also auch für Familien mit Kindern geeignet.
Poor. The check in did not provide any train ticket. We waited in lounge. Escorted to train correct carriage based on booking. Directed to another non Lamar express carriage. Then had to argue to be allowed on Lamen carriage. Then told the cabin and 2 berths on our booking not available then put in another cabin on Lamen with 1 top and 1 lower berth. Never booking Lamen or 12go again. Service of Vietnam Railways, far superior when booked directly with them!
Le train est cher, quand vous êtes sur les lits du haut il faut avoir fait ninja warrior pour réussir à monter et descendre dans votre lit. Pas de bouteille d’eau, toilette turc ( sale ). Nous avons pris des trains de nuit de bien meilleurs qualité au Vietnam.
The trip was Ok (train on time and smooth travel), however tripularion at Ninh binh station sold more tickets thank beds for our cabin. Thus it took some time to re arrange while the train was already going. Moreover, cabin doors dont close correctly and were really noisy during the trip. The rest was just fine, beds confortable and had the luck to have nice partners in the cabin :)
