The train was very old and the seats small for us tall Swedish people. The man beside me was snoring loud most of the eight hours train ride so I spent as little time as I could in my own seat.
The staff on the train were not very service minded, slept alternatively spoke very loud to each other in the food car, but we at least got some food to eat.
All in all it is very strange that a developed country as Vietnam have this very low standard train.
I really appreciated the seats that are assigned to long traveling passengers. I was able to meet another traveler and we chatted the entire time.
My only issue was my seat would not stay up. It slowly laid down. It was a little annoying, but over all, for my first Vietnam train, really good
