Der Wagon war in keinem besseren Zustand als der Wagon der 2.Klasse der Bahn. An den Betten hing teilweise die Kunstlederverkleidung schon runter.
Wir hatten Glück, dass wir alleine waren.
Das Zugpersonal hat die ersten drei Stunden so laut auf seinem Smartphone Musik gehört und Videos geguckt, sodass wir bei geschlossener Tür alles mitbekommen haben, obwohl wir weit weg waren. An schlafen war so nicht zu denken.
Der doppelte Preis im Vergleich zu einem einfachen Bahnticket hat sich nicht gelohnt.
It's not a scenic ride though the country side, it's more packed into small bed as you wait for the time to pass. It's not a bad experience I just wouldn't try and do it again if I had better options
Great experience to do once for me. Great to do long distance and able to lye down. Cabin and toilet clean. Food service great. Bed a little too firm. I found it very expensive...but did go first class.
Train was okay way better than bus travel. Opt for the bottom bunks and 4 berth in our opinion. Toilets were cleaned regularly. Food is very limited so bring plenty of snacks :)
Las camas muy sucias, no cambian la manta, se acuesta uno en tu cama y detrás te acuestas tú y la gente no tiene mucha higiene.
Los baños muy sucios, se orina como se puede.
La gente se piensa que es el patio de su casa, gritan, cantan, ponen música fuerte...muy poco respeto hacia los demás viajeros que queremos leer, ver una peli en nuestro móvil o simplemente dormir.
We liked our experience but it was more expensive than a flight and a flight is a much better experience. They could work on cleaning more and having better breakfast. It’s something to do once, I would recommend over a sleeper bus for sure!
Our 2 bed cabin was switched to a 4 bed cabin due to a car issue which gave us less head room as I am 6' tall. Overall the cabin was nice. The bedding had slight odor. The cabin temperature also fluctuate during the night making it uncomfortable to sleep. For the cost of $450CAD and time of 14 hours, taking a plane would have been better.
The train ride was very pleasant and on time.
The beds were comfortable and the staff was friendly.
Trains are a wonderful and relaxing way to travel in Vietnam.
