The driver drove way too fast. We arrived at the destination 2 hours early, and that made the comfort terrible. On a sleeper bus you expect to get some sleep, but that was impossible. Had to use the seatbelt so that I didn’t fall out of the bed.

Trip was relatively comfortable, did actually manage to sleep. Signposting to bus could be improved, we were running around at the bus station trying to find the right bus, no one said where we needed to go, it is a big station with lots of buses.

Cabins are modern but not to spacious. Specially for tall Europeans it can be a bit cramped. Other than that, no issues.

The people behind the desk where not very kind and helpful. The busride was not relaxed due to the chauffeur driving very fast in sharp turn. It was hard to sleep. He also was not that nice. When the bus stopped and some people were getting off, we had to stay in the bus. When we asked what was going on, he did not answer and just yelled “sit down”.

Wasn’t told that we were going to take a van to another location to get on the bus. Once arrived at new location, the company were no help with everyone ignoring us. The bus ride itself is very uncomfortable. The beds are not wide at all and i was at the back which had no space for feet. Once arriving in Da Lat it said free car service but when i tried to ask a worker if there was a van to the area i was going to, he was rude and ignored me.
