Yolanda GI made the trip with my children (one of whom is 10 years old and has a chronic condition, type 1 diabetes), and upon entering, we were pleasantly surprised by the comfort of the accommodation; I thought we would get some good rest. However, during the night, there was a smell of tobacco smoke—apparently caused by an employee in a cabin in the same carriage. Just as we seemed to be settling in to rest, very loud music started playing—I don't recall the exact time, but I think it was around 5:30 or 6:00 AM. On top of that, every 10–15 minutes, someone would walk by shouting offers of coffee or other things. Consequently, what was supposed to be a trip where we could sleep and rest turned into a nightmare of a night.
lease keep this in mind for future travelers; we chose this option to get some rest, but that was not the case.

Simon BCabin was in the last carriage. Not very clean. Tow nails on the floor. Dried in syrup on wall. Toilet in the carriage was so dirty and people kept going in there to smoke.
Beds rock hard and uncomfortable.
We paid £60/bed which is extortionate for what you get.

Deborah TOvernight train from Ninh Binh to DaNang, purchased tickets in advance. Recommend as a good addition on a travel plan. Snack boxes and drinks provided on journey, lots of up selling.

Sarah I have to say the booking process was very confusing as I thought we were booking a 4 berth cabin all 4 berths and even though I did my research it still was very unclear on the site. I ended up with my 4 yo son having roommates. Then they offered to upgrade us for 50USD which of course we accepted so we could have our privacy but it felt very scammy. Also then we ended up in a different operators cabin so we had none of the normal amenities that we’re supposed to come with the Laman cabin we booked. It was a very cool experience overall but too stressful and I feel that 12Go’s website is not very user friendly for this trip.

Lucas TThe booking stated that the train would be new and luxurious. In reality it was a super old worn down train and cabin that received a sloppy paintjob and halfhearted renovation to make it look better. Sadly that didnt work out. The light breakfast consisted of a packaged burger bun with butter, an orange and a jogurt. The jogurt was in the cabin already and not cooled. So the next morning we decided out of caution to not eat it anymore. The train ride was very bumpy throughout the whole night which didnt benefit sleeping. We chose the train over bus cause we thought it would be more comfortable but after trying both it dient feel like.
Train personal was really nice thought.

Jonathan We got hassled by staff trying to get us to pay extra to buy the spare bunks our cabin. We were not welcomed in any way or given information as I’d expected. Really stressful experience.
