Received a message about our night bus that it will leave 45 minutes earlier than expected, which we were quite happy about, the sleeper bus itself is also nice and relatively cozy. We even had toilet on board. Since we didn’t have any stop and there was not much traffic, we arrived 2 hours early. It was 03:30, instead of 05:30, so we had to book an extra night in a hotel. I would have enjoyed the extra time during daytime, but nothing to complain about.
Überraschend für mich war, dass ich 2 Mal das Fahrzeug wechseln musste. Davon hatte ich nichts gelesen. Die Fahrt hat insgesamt eine Stunde länger gedauert als angegeben.

This was a really great trip! Bus was clean- quiet- stopped halfway through 7.5 hr trip from phong nha to ninh binh for a break- comfy and overall great. 40 mins late but this was communicated via whatsapp. But -something to be aware of;
- when we got on, staff usherd me and my partner to the back and pointed to one of the booths. ( I believe he planned for us to go in one together) . I stopped halfway and advised I would sit in one and my partner in the one beside me. I booked two tickets =two booths. I believe they do this to fit more locals on. There were many locals sharing one booth - and a couple of tourists that likely felt pressured to squish in.
- the driver had a few cigarettes whilst driving ( I can easily get over this given the trip was generally good) but given in aus where smoking is not allowed in public it made me want to throw up- disgusting smell).
Like I said, I would 100% use this company again- if they had made us share a booth I would have requested a full refund and been pretty p***ed.

The bus itself looked brand new, cabin was clean and modern. Bus arrived 30 mins late which wasn’t too bad. However, the driver speeds making every bump in the road and every turn throwing you side to side a guarantee to keep you up the entire time, I only managed to sleep about 15 minutes max. They also kept opening up the cabin curtain and then closing it. So, it’s a way to get you from A to B, but do not rely on getting any sleep.
The bus was late, and there was no way to charge a phone or wifi in the bus, but otherwise, the travel went well, we had a bathroom stop and they provided blanket and water 🙂
Driver was braking and honking quite often, which made it a bit hard to sleep. Bus was okay, the drivers were really nice. Sadly, the cabins weren't cleaned between people. Overall totally okay.
So randomly as part of the bus trip we had to get all four tires changed which took like an hour extra. We got no information of this at any point.
There was no toilet on the bus and there were only two official stops and the first one was after 30 minutes.
