Loved the idea of the train. Paid extra for a 2 cabin. That was worth it. Some great views, the trolley came round quite a bit, reasonable prices. Hard, uncomfortable bed, very noisy train. But what do you expect for the money.

It was amazing. Bed is hard...suck it up. I had awesome room mates. Very considerate. Although we didn't speak because of a language barrier. But the trip was great. The scenery just before Da Nang coming from the north was worth the whole trip, although I feel like I got a better feel for the country as we went south. Everything was great. The train was a bit behind, and I only mentioned this to those that might not know. Just plan to get there when you get there and dont sweat it. If you are worried about punctuality go to Japan. Here leave your cares and problems behind here and just go with the flow...and it was only like a hour late, on a 17 or so hour trip. The station was easy to navigate, everything was awesome.

It was a different and pleasant experience. The train was clean and the washrooms were cleaned multiple times during the travel. The AC was cold at certain times so the blanket provided is perfectly apt. The trains shakes a bit of course which could be difficult for some but we were mostly ok and we slept most of the night hours to feel much of it. Would surely recommend

If you are coming to Vietnam then you should experience the travel in Vietnam railways. Very clean cabins and toilets.

The floor and shelves were not very clean. Otherwise was all very good. Train was pretty much on time, the toilet facilities were OK and it was nice with the complimentary food and drinks. Would have been even nicer and fresher with white bed sheets.

We booked a Premium 1st class sleeper cabin for my wife and myself so that we could have our own private space, bit rustic and not as nice a carriage as the others or in the adverts. Good box for breakfast and drinks in carriage. No food to buy, bring snacks. Journey fun and lovely views in last few hours in daylight. Would do again but would hope for a better quality cabin for the price.

How to get from Hanoi to Da Nang by train

Train from Hanoi to Da Nang is a decent alternative to bus or air travel. Travelling from Hanoi to Da Nang by train is easy, safe, and convenient. There is a direct railway link between the two destinations, which makes your trip smooth and hassle-free.

To get the most out of your train journey, check the schedule and choose the most convenient departure. As a rule, trains and ticket classes are available for every taste and budget.

How long does it take to get from Hanoi to Da Nang by train?

Depending on the type of train, the length of your railway journey from Hanoi to Da Nang may vary. The slowest train needs about 17h 25m to get to Da Nang, and the fastest one brings you there in about 15h 22m. We recommend opting for the fastest service to save you time, especially if you travel by day. With overnight service, the difference of a couple of hours seems not so crucial and may prove even convenient.

Note that trains normally depart on time from their station of origin but sometimes come later than scheduled to their terminus. It is better not to plan short connections if you are going to continue your journey immediately after arrival to Da Nang.

In many destinations, train stations are located very centrally and have good transport connections with the rest of the city, bus stations, and airports. It mostly concerns the older and well-established railway stations. The newer and bigger ones tend to appear in the outskirts of towns and cities, first of all, due to the reason of limited space in the central locations. Getting to and from there may be challenging even by taxi, as restrictions may apply on taxi operators allowed to serve the passengers. Hence, we highly recommend double-checking the location of the station you will depart from and arrive at as some destinations have several train stations.

How much does it cost to get from Hanoi to Da Nang by train?

There may be carriages of a different class on one and the same train on one and the same route. The price of your ticket will vary accordingly – from a dirt-cheap tag for hard seats to high numbers for super comfy overnight sleeper berths on luxury trains. For the Hanoi – Da Nang route, the cheapest ticket costs while if you want to travel with more comfort, expect to pay for the most expensive option.

Travelling by train essentials

Train tickets often sell out well before the date of departure. Book them in advance even if your travel does not fall onto high-season dates. Travelling during peak periods which also include public and national holidays, and long or bank weekends, advanced booking is a must if you do not want to remake your travel plans on the spot. It is unnecessary to go to the train station to book – buy your ticket online in a few clicks.
Advanced booking ensures you get the seats and berths you want. For example, the lower berths are always the first to sell out, while upper berths may be available even on the departure date. Similarly, for longer distances, it is the night trips that enjoy the highest demand, while you may be able to grab a ticket for the same route an hour before departure if it is an inconvenient day ride that eats a huge part of your time.
There may be different carriages within one and the same train: fan-only and air-conditioned; hard seats and soft seats; second class berths and private compartments. Before buying your ticket, make sure you understand what type of seat you are paying for. Prices may differ greatly, but sometimes it is a good idea to pay more not to spend 20 hours on a hard seat in a fan-only carriage. In general, second-class berths are a good choice for longer overnight trips, while for shorter 4-6-hour day journeys, a soft seat is a great option.
Air-conditioning on trains can be excessive – as well as heating during the cold season. Make sure to pack layers not to get cold or hot during your trip. In hot countries, fan-only carriages are a cheaper and acceptable alternative to air-conditioned carriages.
There are toilets on board a train. Depending on the type of train, some carriages can be equipped with simple squat-type toilets or normal Western toilets. Regardless of your ticket's price, the train toilets' cleanness is not often up to the standard, alas. It especially concerns cheaper classes, though even in first-class carriages, complaints are not unheard of.
There is normally a dining carriage on long-distance trains, but on some routes, dining carriages have become extinct due to covid-19 restrictions. Check in advance if food is available on board or simply pack some snacks to be on the safe side. On many trains, you will also see hawkers patrolling the aisles during the journey and selling soft beverages and snacks. Alcohol drinks are prohibited on trains.
Smoking is prohibited, too, if, of course, you are not travelling by a common class somewhere in China or Indonesia!
Arrive at the train station at least half an hour before departure to allow enough time to find your platform and go through check-in formalities. A passport or other ID which you use for buying your train ticket is almost always needed, so keep it at hand to produce when asked at check-in or boarding.
Trains may arrive at their destination later than scheduled. These delays are not uncommon, especially for long-haul routes. Be ready and plan accordingly. Yet compared to buses, trains are less weather and traffic dependent hence more reliable schedule-wise.
