Confusing last minute upgrade offer. Otherwise all excellent.

I have to say the booking process was very confusing as I thought we were booking a 4 berth cabin all 4 berths and even though I did my research it still was very unclear on the site. I ended up with my 4 yo son having roommates. Then they offered to upgrade us for 50USD which of course we accepted so we could have our privacy but it felt very scammy. Also then we ended up in a different operators cabin so we had none of the normal amenities that we’re supposed to come with the Laman cabin we booked. It was a very cool experience overall but too stressful and I feel that 12Go’s website is not very user friendly for this trip.

The booking stated that the train would be new and luxurious. In reality it was a super old worn down train and cabin that received a sloppy paintjob and halfhearted renovation to make it look better. Sadly that didnt work out. The light breakfast consisted of a packaged burger bun with butter, an orange and a jogurt. The jogurt was in the cabin already and not cooled. So the next morning we decided out of caution to not eat it anymore. The train ride was very bumpy throughout the whole night which didnt benefit sleeping. We chose the train over bus cause we thought it would be more comfortable but after trying both it dient feel like. Train personal was really nice thought.

We got hassled by staff trying to get us to pay extra to buy the spare bunks our cabin. We were not welcomed in any way or given information as I’d expected. Really stressful experience.

Her er en naturlig engelsk oversættelse, som egner sig godt til en anmeldelse: There had been a double booking, so we did not get the berths we had reserved. After some time, we were moved to another carriage operated by a different company. We also had to remind the staff ourselves that breakfast was included in the price we had paid. Although the service attendant was very friendly, smiling, and helpful, he also wanted us to pay one million Vietnamese dong so that no one else would be assigned to our compartment overnight. We had originally booked a four-berth cabin, so in principle that would have been acceptable. However, the cabin had not been prepared for additional passengers, and we certainly did not want someone arriving in the middle of the night while staff made up beds for them. The following morning, we explained that we felt it was only fair compensation for the double booking that we were allowed to keep the compartment to ourselves. The service attendant accepted this when he came back to collect his one million dong.

Expect what you would expect in a country like Vietnam. We were checken in and showen to the track at the right time. There’s A (simple) breakfast box, some snacks and drinks ready. If you’re a bigger eater, make sure you bring plenty of food for yourself. Beds are fine, not as soft as a hotel bed of course. We had a good nights sleep, and the views towards the end of the ride, approaching Da Nang are amazing! I thought it was a great experience. Just keep your expectations realistic.

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

Depending on the type of train, the length of your railway journey from Ninh Binh to Da Nang may vary. The slowest train needs about 15h 51m to get to Da Nang, and the fastest one brings you there in about 12h 52m. 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 Ninh Binh 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 Ninh Binh – 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.
