If you ignore the rough tracks the train is driving on, it’s perfect. But thats everywhere the same. With a sleeping pill the time flies. Everything was good, other companies have nicer wagons, but it was clean and we got small bags with bananas and water. So all in all it’s good to travel with.

Checked in at Mango Hotel and waited in the hotel. Taken straight through to the train and shown to our cabin. 4 birth cabins, mixed sex. Beds quite comfortable. USB charging point by head of bead. Easy to sleep - very quiet. Croissant, banana and milk in cabin for breakfast and tea and coffee sachets. Communal hot water in the Isle. Staff very helpful. Only downside is the toilets.
Bus was late to board, supposed to board at 6pm and didn't board till almost 7pm. Seats were very narrow, I am 6 ft tall(170lbs) and could not straighten my legs. 12 hours of agony. Would not do it again.

Not as advertised, very uncomfortable - worth getting the train or flying instead

Generally pleasant. Though arrived 20 minutes late due to holiday traffic and the pick up location was quite dirty.
Only 1 out if the 3 usb charging ports were working

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

Unfriendly bus driver who screamed at us and touched us, even we were awake already.
The bus was dirty and smelled like smoke.
This 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!
