Hanoi to Hue Destination Reviews

We waited at the pickup point, but nobody came. 5 Minutes after the pickup time I got a message from the driver saying that we were picked up at another location 10 km away. He told me to book a Grab to the new location and the he would pay me back the amount for the Grab, which didn’t happened. On the new location he told us to wait 15 minutes until the bus would arrive. After 25 minutes of waiting the bus wasn’t there and he didn’t texted back so I called him and he just shouted at me at the phone. After 30 minutes they arrived we went to the bus and the driver told us to hurry and throw all our luggage into the Bus. So we departured around 1.5 hours later than expected. The ride was very smooth, maybe a bit few stops, but this was alright. We also got a small bottle of drinking water on the bus. The departure stop was again not the one we expected based on the booking, but it was about 1 km away so it’s not that bad. Overall I wouldn’t book it again.

The drivers were impolite, and could not speak English, there was no space enough for our luggage because they toke a lot of parcels with them that occupied the luggage-storage and the corridor in the bus. The WC could hardly be reached.

We should have arrived around 7:30, but instead we arrived at noon because the driver didn't stop in Hue. What bothers me is that when I tried to ask questions, the bus crew wouldn't listen and told me to go back to sleep.

The bus was very comfortable, despite some bumps in the road along the route. The driver had a very relaxed and smooth driving style. The compartment is sufficiently equipped, with AC, charging ports and a blanket. There is also a restroom at the back of the bus. However, I could not get the wifi, the screen and the provided headphones to work, which is disappointing but not a deal breaker. Also, we arrived 30 minutes late, which was no issue for us but still worth mentioning. Overall satisfied with the value of this experience.

The bus was on time and we also arrived a bit earlier than expected, so we were able to discover hue before. The service via WhatsApp was perfect!

How far is Hanoi from Hue?

How long does it take to get from Hanoi to Hue by bus?

Buses normally need between 9h 40m and 14h 30m hours to get to Hue from Hanoi. 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.

On this route, VietNam Travel Bus (Việt Nam Travel Bus) offers the fastest service. Duc Duong buses usually take the longest time to complete the journey.

The price of your bus ticket will depend not only on the distance you need to cover but on the class of your coach.

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.
