Man kann nur jedem empfehlen, eine Reise im Hanoi -Saigon-Express zu machen. Unsere Wagons waren alt, aber sauber. Klimaanlage funktioniert. Wir waren am Tag unterwegs und haben daher keinen Schlafwagen gebucht. War ein ordentlicher Ledersitz. Bisschen schade war, daß die Fenster vermutlich durch die vorangegangene Nachtfahrt kondensiert und dann abgelaufen sind. Schwierig zu fotografieren. Teilweise kann man die Fenster im oberen Bereich öffnen. Ich habe den Zugbegleiter gefragt. Fenster auf und dann Video gedreht. Selbst im Inneren der Lok durfte ich fotografieren. Einfach auch Fahrgäste fragen, wenn man etwas möchte. Das Wort "Nein" kennen sie in Vietnam nicht. Verpflegung wird im Stundentakt an den Platz gebracht. Heißes Wasser kommt aus dem Kessel. Kleiner Tipp noch bei der Anfahrt auf Ho Chi Minh City. In Fahrtrichtung linke Seite gibt super Sicht über den Saigon-River auf die Stadt. Ich war auch ein/zwei Stunden im eher rustikalen Speisewagen. Nach zehn Minuten hatten wir eine coole internationale Truppe zusammen. Hat richtig Laune gemacht. Alles in allem klare Empfehlung.

We booked first class. Of course, this cannot be compared with European classes. but I expect at least clean sheets. unfortunately this was not the case. the toilet was also really disgusting. The train is very loud and shakes extremely. It was an experience, but sleeping is almost impossible.

Train was on time and the beds were quite comfortable. I got much better sleep than in a bus because there was no honking or "crazy driving". However, I woke up a few time from strong cigarette smell (people smoked in the alley) and their shouting. The cigarette smoke was coming through ventilation although we locked the cabin and it was extremely strong.

It was ok. We had a 4 bed first class bunk on this train. It Was scheduled for 22:50 but was delayed. We finally left at around 0:30. It Was very cold but we were warned and had warm clothes out. The beda themselves were very hard. Around 6 am peiple started yelling in other compartements and on the corridor. Still, we made it, even if tired.

Best overnight train experience I’ve had so far in Asia. The cabins were clean and they even provided a tooth brush with tooth paste.

The meal carriage does not serve hot food and the beer was not cold. The berth had odours. The toilets were not cleaned enough.

Once again , there was no lack of information about the train . I didn’t know where was my train , if it was already arrived or not . And the people don’t speak any English it’s very difficult . Also the toilets were disgusting.
