Die Mitarbeiter haben sich gut um uns gekümmert und die Toiletten waren sauber. Es gab auch ein Frühstück und ein gratis Bier. Allerdings war die Matraze ziemlich hart und irgendeine Klappe war außen am Wagon lose und hat während der Fahrt gegen den Wagon geschlagen, wenn wir langsamer gefahren sind. Das war ziemlich laut, man hat es sogar deutlich gespürt. Dafür fand ich den Preis deutlich zu teuer.
Leggendo delle varie esperienze sui treni Vietnamiti ero pronta al peggio, tuttavia sono rimasta soddisfatta. Ovviamente non bisogna farsi grandi aspettative, non é un viaggio di lusso, ma confermo sia una bella esperienza da provare. Il “letto” é una specie di materassino, il bagno é il classico bagno di un treno, il treno é rumoroso ma se non si ha il sonno troppo leggero chiudendo la porta della cuccetta si riesce a dormire. Esperienza tutto sommato positiva è consigliata.
The website was not at all intuitive…our family of 4 booked a sleeper train but the site did not give an easy way to book a single, 4 person cabin. We ended up with 2 berths in 2 separate cabins. No facility to change afterwards. We ended up having to try and fix it ourselves on the train and had to pay a sketchy (cash) fee to the conductor to switch around with a very nice Spanish family so that we could all be together.
It was all fine. We had chosen Violette trains because there were no more standard VNR options with lower beds in a 4 bed cabin. I had expected more of a difference between standard VNR and violett trains. It was basically a bigger blanket and a snackbox you get for the extra money. However, the experience was ok
