Hanoi to Hoi An Destination Reviews

G8 Sapa discovery travel is outdoing themselves. Sleeper cabin was clean, I was sleeping 10hrs straight on the 17hrs ride on the upper cabin on the last row. I read many people are complaining about it but as said, 10hrs straight sleeping. It should be mentioned that this cabin felt a bit shorter than one I was using before (upper cabin but in the middle). I'm 173 so for any taller, the last row might be not as comfortable. the bus had 1hr delay but all clients were informed already 5/6 hrs before departure about the delay due to traffic and that we can come later to the pickup spot overall, since my first experience with this operator, I am trying to only drive with them.

The sleeper bus was in fact very comfortable and clean. The driver was nice and responsible. These are reasons for the 5 star rating. However, I got very motion sick, something I hadn’t considered. If you use this service be sure to take something for motion sickness before you board.

Terrible ride. The driver was very Loud and the journey was very chaotic. With 1.5h delay!!!! People over 1.75 m will have problems in the bed. There is not enough space.

It wasn’t as bad as other people said tbh but keep in mind I booked the VIP 20 cabin. Bus was bumpy but clean. The main issue was the poor organisation at the end I was told to get off the bus an hour from my destination and after asking through google translate where the next bus was they just told me to go get a taxi, given I had paid for a bus to my destination I wasn’t keen on this idea and called the company who after a few phone calls answered and arranged a car to collect me. Overall it was okay but for someone less confident I think it would have been traumatising being left at 6am at a random bus depot.

Left 1 hr late. We upgraded to get better beds on two row bus. We were transferred to a cheaper bus for last 4 hrs. I was forced to be in the middle isle with no window in much smaller seats. Not what I paid for

Overall was good! The trip was 16.5 hours, not 15 hours. And the seats could’ve been a little cleaner. There were some hairs on my seat and the ceiling was dirty. The tv did not work but I think it’s because the remote batteries needed changed.

It started great, with an excellent free pickup from the hotel. We got dropped off at a different location than noted on our PDF, luckily the WhatsApp lady was really quick with her reply and told us it was fine. It turned out we got a different bus company we initially paid for, hence probably why we had a different bus station. We choose for a company with 13 hour trip. But in the end it took this operator 18 hours to get us there. I see it more as a delivery service who happens to also drive passengers. the bus left 40 minutes late. The comfort in the bus was really good though, even though the bus itself was quite loud when going over bumps and switching gears. It stopped a lot of times, receiving new cargo and dropping of cargo and sometimes even locals. The lady over the WhatsApp did apologize about the long delay, she told me it was way more then she expected, they do deliver cargo to maximize profits. The toilet didn’t have any toilet paper, so I would recommend bringing some tissues. I mean it was adventurous, not knowing if you are in the right place for the right bus etc, but we got there in the end and the bus was comfy, WiFi worked, enough space(22 cabin).

Note that the travel time is for your reference only and can depend on different factors such as traffic and weather conditions. Heavy rainfalls almost inevitably make the trip longer due to poor visibility or floods. Road and surface repairs which happen quite often, result in detours and longer travel times. Major national holidays, long weekends, or peak season periods may cause delays both in departures and arrivals – plan accordingly to avoid disappointment, especially if you have further connections and a tight schedule.

Travelling by bus essentials

  • If you are planning to travel during the high season, weekends, or national holidays, booking your bus tickets in advance is highly recommended. The demand is at its highest, yet very often, the number of coaches serving the route remains the same. The earlier you reserve your seat, the better. On some routes, you need to secure your ticket more than a month in advance; on others, a couple-of-days advanced booking is enough. During such periods, try to book online beforehand whenever possible, as showing up at the bus station without a ticket may result in many-hours of waiting in the queue or leave you downright stranded.
  • VIP, 1st, Gold, and similar bus tickets are the most expensive option, but they provide a higher level of comfort. Normally the price of such tickets will include wide soft reclining seats, blankets, water and snacks or lunch, and sometimes some toiletries. Upper-class buses travel faster, make fewer stops during the route, and normally provide more spacious seating to their passengers and a better travel experience.
  • Not all buses have an on-board toilet, but generally, for all trips longer than three hours, all operators schedule a bathroom and/or a lunch stop. While operators definitely do their best to keep on-board toilets clean, the smell may be an issue sometimes. For longer trips, booking a seat a bit farther from the toilet may be a good idea. Also, using bathroom stops for your toilet needs is always better than trying to find your balance in an on-board toilet on the run.
  • If you travel by an air-con bus, make sure to pack layers. A hoodie, a warm scarf, or a beanie hat may prove a good idea. Air-conditioning on buses tends to be excessive, and running nose and sore throats abound after even not the longest bus rides.
  • Always use the security belts even if your bus ride attendant or driver does not insist on it. Your safety comes first – for you, for sure. All buses normally are equipped with security belts, but they may be fixed behind your seat. Take time to find the belt and fix it appropriately.
  • To avoid being disturbed by overhead lights, switched on during stops even at night, and too loud music or sound from the on-board entertainment system, have earplugs and a sleeping mask at hand.
  • As a courtesy to other passengers, avoid using strong perfumes or smelly foods. Some foods like cheeses or durians are forbidden to take on-board – check in advance. Alcohol is also prohibited on the majority of buses.
  • Note that if the bus requires refuelling en-route, passengers will be asked to get off the bus. Operators are not allowed to refuel with passengers on board due to safety reasons. Usually, it takes from 5 to 10 minutes and is often combined with a toilet/lunch stop.
  • If not stated otherwise in your tickets, arrive at the bus station 20-30 minutes before departure. It will give you enough time to find the departure platform and check-in. For international trips, you may need more time for check-in and border formalities.
