Hanoi SapaExpress to Sa Pa SapaExpress Destination Reviews

JH
Hanoi - Sapa sleeper bus with compartments. This was absolutely brilliant very clean, well organised, the driver was patient and drove safely. They organised a shuttle bus to our hotels for free on arrival which I wasn't expecting!

The bus was comfortable but the reading light in my cabin didn’t work, usb-c charging port didn’t work. The drivers didn’t let anyone out of the bus in stops, even though i needed to get a power bank from my bag and strech my legs. And because they didn’t let anyone leave the bus they arrived almost onehour earlier to the destination which was not very good for us because we were doing a night trip and you don’t like to arrive and everything is closed

It was not the best experience say the least… first they tried to put us in a bus later because it was ‘busy’. When we said we booked the bus an hour earlier they could make it work anyway and the bus was not full at all. We had to transfer. This was not what we booked, but oke. Transfer is oke if you note it down. The transfer itself was so hectic, nobody told us anything and nobody spoke english. We had to get into a bus we didnt booked. The sleeperbus driver was in my opinion a bit recless, hard not to fall out of the cabin, haha. The driver after the transfer was fine. You are not allowed to eat in the bus, 8 hours is a long time. Would recommend to put it into the advertisement.

Driver’s hospitality was terrible, he was mad all the time and didn’t answer at all when you’d ask him something, was singing behind the weel while people want to sleep during the night…

When you book a single cabin and you’re travelling with 2 (or more) don’t expect a single cabin. Had to share the trip which didn’t make it any more comfortable.
