Ninh Binh to Hanoi Destination Reviews

JW
I drove from Ninh Binh to Hanoi. The pickup is outside the normal tourism places in Nimh Binh you have to take a taxi there. The seating in the bus is extremely small. Also the dropoff is ca. 30min from the old quarter.

Very clean limo, slightly late but very clear instructions on where to wait - we were provided with some snacks and a water bottle too - shame the massage function on the chairs doesn’t work

Had to transfer 2 times to a different car whipe no one really told us anything. We were also not dropped off where we were supposed to be dropped off so I had to walk 20 minutes with my luggage to the end

We are very disappointed by this service. Not only was the booking site misleading, saying there was free pick up and drop off but then requesting more money, but we were dropped in the middle of Hanoi an hour from where we were suppose to be dropped off. We were yelled at to get out and then crammed into a car too small for our group size. The driver of this car was watching a movie and swerving all over the lane. It added an hour onto our trip in a vehicle we didn’t book. They are not happy to help in these situations as we missed a booking we had planned and ignored my message. I do not recommend

We were contacted beforehand via WhatsApp and were picked up from our hostel very spontaneously. Everything went smoothly. Thank you very much.

They didn't drop us off at the arrival point indicated in the reservation. They dropped us off further away, and when we got off, there were taxis waiting to take us to the hotel, even though we hadn't booked that.

The bus departed 20min late. The driver didn't want to drive us to the drop off location indicated on the ticket (214 Tran Quang Khai). Instead, they stopped earlier and asked us to pay additional fee to drive us to the hotel using his own car.

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.
