Nicola MNice experience but the train does not go to Sa Pa. You stop at Lao Cai. From there you take a bus to Sa Pa. You Need to pay 55 dong for pax. It takes around one hour.

Zaroul NCustomer assistance was great and helpful, they helped us to book a driver to pick us up from Lao Cai train station directly to our hotel. The cabin (vip cabin for 2 pax) was clean, they provided us earplugs, drinks and snacks and cozy bed. Overall experience with Chapa train was great. Would love to join this train again in the future.

Luke RRelatively comfy beds for a train. Easy to know where to check in per their instructions and plenty of space for storage in cabin. We got I think the VIP sleeper cabin so two of us shared with another two travellers. Overall good xp.

Sarah MTook a chapa express from Hanoi to Sapa. We bought the whole cabin for 2 of us. Approx £60 each.
It was so beautifully decorated. Really clean sheets. Comfortable beds. A clean toilet for the use of the whole carriage. We were given complimentary water beer and snacks.
It really was perfect

Yana SWhile the train service from Hanoi to Sapa had some drawbacks, such as pushy attempts to upgrade tickets, the train itself was impressive. The cabins were new, with exceptionally clean bed sheets, free snacks, and water. However, the noise level made it challenging to sleep well—consider bringing earplugs. On the return journey, the limousine was more comfortable and faster.

Andrea We booked the Laman because they said the have wifi and we really needed to be able to connect to some meetings. Wifi did not work, we asked the workers, they said they will check it but never did and never gave us feedback about it.

Elise VIf you’re looking for an excuse to upgrade your sleeper, this is is. The trip gets an overall 2 stars because it was clean and it left and arrived on time. But that’s sadly where the good times ended for us. Our seats had been changed and that wasn’t communicated well enough to the guys onboarding us, so we walked from section to section hoping for help. By the times we got to our bed we were questioned a few times, but thankfully not kicked off. We had someone either leave or arrive at every stop which was very disruptive. My least favourite was the drunk who literally stumbled in and collapsed on his bed. Then the door wouldn’t stay closed, so we unfortunately had it open all night. Really wishing I’d just paid the extra for a private 2 bed room to avoid all the disruptions.

Christian FMy spouse, three sons (10 months and 3 and 6 years old) took the night Laman Express from Hanoi to Sa Pa. Everything was explained and organized in a very good way. The staff was very friendly and attentive. Additionally, the prices are super fair, our cabin was very clean and comfortable, we found some sleep and we arrived safely and in time in Sa Pa.
