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.

Daniel Funniest night train ride ever!
Karaoke in the dining car. Even the grumpy service lady joined in.
Oh, and yes there were OK bunk beds as 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.

Patrick The train was on time, the cabins where way to small for 4 persons and lugguage. For another cabin we needed to pay more (it was not our fault it didn’t fit, so a free solution should have been offered)

Paula&nathan Clean and comfortable sleeper cabin.
Toilets clean and no smell.
Lovely service, snacks, free beer on boarding and fairly smooth ride.
Highly recommend as the day light scenery is wonderful !

Karlijn VBooked first class beds, but was (seemingly) put in another class, shared with people who were telephoning all night, trying to touch me and when i wanted to stand in the hallway, the train managers were screaming to get me back in the coupe. Not the best experience ever you can say:-)

Carlos FMust-have experience. Clean and tidy cabin with 4 beds. Beds are very small and comfort is limited to the movement of the train and the noise it carries. Besides that, the stuff tries to charge you for anything. Breakfast and coffee is included (everything you find on the table is for free).

Zeerak SThe operators are very helpful to get you on the train, give your a breakfast box and drinks and let you know when to step off as well. The beds are pretty good too. Sleeping is a little rough due to the train not the bed itself.

Javier RLaman say they use brand new train cars and it is not true.The cabin is no like the one showed in the web when I did the reservation. It is an old/normal cabin of Vietnan Railways. Check if it is worth paying twice the normal fare for the ticket. There was an assistant in the wagon that provided water/bear and a coffee with the breakfast.
