Elise CWe liked our experience but it was more expensive than a flight and a flight is a much better experience. They could work on cleaning more and having better breakfast. It’s something to do once, I would recommend over a sleeper bus for sure!

Yuanzhe LJust ok. Train was a bit dirty. Operator put the two tickets we bought on one booking into different train cars. Very annoying.

Chun TOur 2 bed cabin was switched to a 4 bed cabin due to a car issue which gave us less head room as I am 6' tall. Overall the cabin was nice. The bedding had slight odor. The cabin temperature also fluctuate during the night making it uncomfortable to sleep. For the cost of $450CAD and time of 14 hours, taking a plane would have been better.

Salomé KI spend a good night. The train was calm. It however arrived more than 1 hour late at my arrival station. My cabin's door was broken so I could not close it completely : the risk was to stay stucked inside.

Yiota Very clean and comfortable ride
We actually slept reasonably well. Snacks were provided.
Train wss 2 hours later then expected. The train assistant tried to charge us 500'000 fong for a private room upgrade ( used Google translate) but we said no and had our cabin to ourselves anyway so that was a scam.

Ana CThe experience was terrible. From used stained sheets after 3hour delay on the train without any previous notice to putting us in second class when we booked first class. It was just a a horrible experience.
