Alexey YWe had our tickets changed one day before with different places assigned and no chances to change for what we wanted. The train assistant in the cabin was confused and were running around for 5 minutes trying to fit us somewhere. Finally we got places in a different couch near the toilet. Than qe got other train assistant trying to sell us an upgrade to higher class.
At night someone was smoking in the near by so we smelled like the smoke was coming right in our cabin. So I don’t know who is writing good reviews about lotus train, but I wouldn’t

Maureen BOn time and facilities were fine, noisy, slept okay, easy to use. Had a very uncomfortable interaction with one of the train staff and felt unsafe, spoke to my cabin mates who were lovely otherwise I would not have been able to sleep. However the Lotus staff was friendly.

Joseph CTrain was on time and sleeper car was clean and comfortable. We did not get water but we did get snacks. We also booked with Damitrans but rode on a Lotus operated train. Overall a comfortable ride and we slept well.

Maria GThe journey was great, but we did not like at all that one person from the staff tried to get money from us, asking first one million, then 700, the 500k vnd, in order to let us use the whole cabin, telling us once and again that
otherwise more people was coming in three
hours, which was a lie. First of all, if we had
wanted to book the whole cabin we would
have done beforehand, and most important, we don't like people trying to cheat us.
