Ninh Binh to Da Nang Destination Reviews

I was in a 6 beds cabin, upper berth. The cabin was extremely cold and I asked the staff several times to adjust the temperature, but nothing happened. The train hostesses offered me to upgrade to a private cabin for my convenience. The price would be 500k VND. The cabin they offered was actually the staff cabin, in which the hostesses took turns sleeping during the trip. I turned down the offer.

We booked a 2 person cabin and ended up getting a 4 person cabin, which would have cost us more than 50% less. Not recommended!

Beds were quite hard and the train was very noisy. We were in the last compartment by the outer doors and one did not close properly so a lot of track noise came in.

The booking experience was fine. The receipt email says I’d receive confirmation in about an hour. What they meant to say was 3 days. It took 3 days to receive booking confirmation. I sent two emails asking about it and receive two identical canned replies telling me not to worry and to check my receipt for a timeframe for booking, which was 1 hour. They must get a lot of these emails a lot and are far to busy to read them and actually reply. It’s clearly a broken system. The train itself was on time and comfortable enough considering the price. The one thing we didn’t like was the staff coming around selling food. We kept our door closed and they would always attempt to open it. Every single time. Thankfully we locked it, but where on earth is it ok to just open a closed door to a private cabin? With all of this in mind, now that I know what to expect, I would do this all again if I were in Vietnam.

The bus journey was very bumpy and beds make a lot of noise. Toilet on the bus smelt a lot so if you sit at the back it’s not nice.
