Hanoi to Da Nang Destination Reviews

Jack J

Arrived on time, very clean and spacious. Book the lower cabin if you want a smoother less bumpy sleep - we stayed in upper and still slept great. Flight neck pillows improve comfort also! The bus does not announce when you arrive at your destination so you need to be awake and vigilant the next morning otherwise you most likely will miss your stop. Use Google translate to speak with the driver though as they are helpful.

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

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.

Sleep was out of the question on this journey. The driving style didn't allow for it. We arrived at 5:30 a.m. instead of 9 a.m. as planned! The staff were friendly, the toilets at the stops were clean, and care was taken to ensure that everyone came along.

The bed and curtains were very smelly, like sweat smell it doesn’t seem like it has been cleaned in a long time, the curtains where very stained and the blanket was damp and again didn’t smell clean. It felt very unhygienic i think for the price of this journey it could be improved not nice when you are on the bus for a long time I have never experienced this with other companies

We didn’t book to be in the emergency row and on both our flights we were placed in the emergency section. You cannot have you bag with you and no option of a window at all even though we requested that

Tipping taxi drivers in Da Nang is not a common practice, but it is appreciated. Most fares include the cost of the ride, and drivers don’t expect additional tips. However, rounding up to the nearest 10,000 VND or leaving small change is seen as courteous, especially for good service. Some taxi companies, such as Mai Linh or Vinasun, have consistent pricing and reliable drivers. If you receive exceptional service, such as help with heavy luggage or efficient route navigation, a modest tip is a kind gesture. Keep in mind that cash is preferred since digital tipping options may not be available.

Standard tipping: Rounding up the fare.
Cash tips are most appreciated.
Helpful for exceptional service but not required.

Offering a tip is entirely at your discretion but shows gratitude in a way drivers understand.

The decision depends on lifestyle preferences, work, and climate. Hanoi, Vietnam’s capital, offers rich history, cultural landmarks, and a larger urban economy, making it ideal for career opportunities and experiencing northern traditions. However, its traffic congestion and cooler winters may deter some. Da Nang, a coastal city, provides a more relaxed lifestyle with clean beaches, modern infrastructure, and a warmer, tropical climate. It’s popular among expats seeking a balance between work and leisure, especially with its proximity to UNESCO sites like Hoi An and My Son.

Hanoi: Capital, cultural hub, cooler climate.
Da Nang: Coastal, relaxed, warmer weather.
Key factors: career, climate, lifestyle.

Both cities offer distinct advantages, so evaluate personal priorities when choosing.

Closing times in Da Nang vary by business type. Restaurants and coffee shops generally close around 9 PM to 10 PM, though some street food vendors may stay open later. Shopping malls like Vincom Plaza usually close by 9:30 PM. Bars and nightclubs in the My Khe Beach area often stay open until midnight or later, depending on demand. For tourist attractions, such as the Marble Mountains or the Dragon Bridge, visits typically end by 6 PM or after the evening light shows.

Restaurants: Close by 9–10 PM.
Malls: Typically close around 9:30 PM.
Bars/clubs: Midnight or later.
