We upgraded to the most expensive suite they had. The Queen Suite.
The room and the bed were OK, the noise however was terrible. It looked like permanent gunfire next to your head. Only during the 4 hours in the middle of the 8 hour trip it was OK. The rest was awful. Never again for us!!
Straight forward enough to navigate. The train journey wasn't the most smooth in terms of ride comfort. Beds were hard but did the job. I'm quite tall so didn't have to crap up too much which was nice. Air conditioning was a bit weak, ok if you were on top bunk but lower bunks felt a bit stuffy. Did the job.
There were no temperature dials or plugs in the top bunks but we managed a good nights sleep, the beds were relatively comfortable and there wasn't too many jolts on the tracks. We also got free drinks and snacks!
The conductor was trying to scam us. We are aware that we are in a shared cabin, but he want us to pay him 700,000vnd to keep vacant the lower bunk. Also the other guy employee was very rude in approaching the passengers. The tickets were mixed up with another passengers.

Nice stay on demitran train, clean cabin, fresh beddings and clean bathroom. Small passage or hallway but quite good. Passengers with big luggages have difficulty in carrying it inside the train as there is no staff or laborer to carry and besides it has no ramp for luggages to pass on. We love the taxi because it was like a coaster so comfortable and the driver is friendly. I believe vietnamese people has to learn basic English for better communication like drivers, attendants, hotel workers.
Great experience… we had the 2 bed cabin and was very comfortable. I’ve taken train trips in Vietnam before and this particular train did not have a dining carriage but they had a food cart. Thank you VN Railway for a memorable trip.
