Da Nang to Hanoi Destination Reviews
RS
Robert SAfter reading reviews for bus companies I noticed that Tam Kim Chi had some poor reviews so booked with Duc Duong. We showed up early to a station that was an empty shell of a building (not abnormal for SEA) but we only knew it was the station because we know some Vietnamese. The company name was not found anywhere. When a bus arrived at the scheduled time it was a Kim Chi 265 bus. They did not check tickets when boarding, only asking us our destination. I am not sure if Tam Kim Chi and Kim Chi 265 are related.
I am 6'2 188cm and barely fit which was expected. The bus seats and aisles do not accommodate wide bodies, so be aware.
The driving was immediately too fast, passing other road users at every opportunity. This continued with harsh braking and acceleration. Also, the horn was used nearly every five seconds. It was audible at the back of the bus.
The AC worked very well, the TV's did not work except to display someone else's YouTube video. Chargers worked. The WiFi worked most of the time.
At the restroom stop (no bathroom on board) there were six other buses stopping at the same time for two female toilets causing a large line. The driver then started to leave before a passenger that was not yet on the bus appeared in front of it.
They did provide water and blankets. Curtains worked well and bus was not blasting music or anything. The bus was also clean and relatively new.

Adam AWi-Fi - The WiFi was very temperamental and kept disconnecting.
Driver - Very fast, which I don’t mind but his braking is very late and took turns too late.
Comfort - The bed due to the plastic can be sticky. A small pillow would be great.
TV - Did not work.

Anaëlle The vehicle was clean and comfortable. But the driver was going really really fast, smoked inside (Bad smell) and he constantly put the klaxon on. I couldn't sleep. We start the trip at 9pm (not 8pm) but we arrived at 7am (not 11am).

Ben MThe bus was comfortable and had enough leg room (I'm 6ft) but the driver of the bus ruined the trip, he drove extremely erratically and this caused the bus to shake and sway too much. The planned arrival time was 11.30am and we arrived at 6.55am.

Ruth KOur 18 hour bus from Danang to Hanoi was booked for 13.30 and showed up close to 14.30. The bus itself had three rows of beds, top and bottom. The beds were comfortable enough and you got a blanket and pillow, how clean they were I can't say but when you're tired enough anything will do. I am 5' 9'' and I could just about straighten my legs fully so anyone taller this is something to consider.
The driver loved the horn and drove very fast, swerving things last minute a lot. He drove so fast that we actually arrived 2 hours early 😅.
Overall I had an expectation for what this bus would be like because I had been on one five years ago. I can safely say it hasn't changed much. However for a cheap way to cover all that ground it's fine once you don't have strict timings you need to stick to and you can sleep through a lot of noise from beeping. Would recommend a sleeping mask too as every town you go through is very lit up at night.

Travelling by bus essentials
- If you are planning to travel during the high season, weekends, or national holidays, booking your bus tickets in advance is highly recommended. The demand is at its highest, yet very often, the number of coaches serving the route remains the same. The earlier you reserve your seat, the better. On some routes, you need to secure your ticket more than a month in advance; on others, a couple-of-days advanced booking is enough. During such periods, try to book online beforehand whenever possible, as showing up at the bus station without a ticket may result in many-hours of waiting in the queue or leave you downright stranded.
- VIP, 1st, Gold, and similar bus tickets are the most expensive option, but they provide a higher level of comfort. Normally the price of such tickets will include wide soft reclining seats, blankets, water and snacks or lunch, and sometimes some toiletries. Upper-class buses travel faster, make fewer stops during the route, and normally provide more spacious seating to their passengers and a better travel experience.
- Not all buses have an on-board toilet, but generally, for all trips longer than three hours, all operators schedule a bathroom and/or a lunch stop. While operators definitely do their best to keep on-board toilets clean, the smell may be an issue sometimes. For longer trips, booking a seat a bit farther from the toilet may be a good idea. Also, using bathroom stops for your toilet needs is always better than trying to find your balance in an on-board toilet on the run.
- If you travel by an air-con bus, make sure to pack layers. A hoodie, a warm scarf, or a beanie hat may prove a good idea. Air-conditioning on buses tends to be excessive, and running nose and sore throats abound after even not the longest bus rides.
- Always use the security belts even if your bus ride attendant or driver does not insist on it. Your safety comes first – for you, for sure. All buses normally are equipped with security belts, but they may be fixed behind your seat. Take time to find the belt and fix it appropriately.
- To avoid being disturbed by overhead lights, switched on during stops even at night, and too loud music or sound from the on-board entertainment system, have earplugs and a sleeping mask at hand.
- As a courtesy to other passengers, avoid using strong perfumes or smelly foods. Some foods like cheeses or durians are forbidden to take on-board – check in advance. Alcohol is also prohibited on the majority of buses.
- Note that if the bus requires refuelling en-route, passengers will be asked to get off the bus. Operators are not allowed to refuel with passengers on board due to safety reasons. Usually, it takes from 5 to 10 minutes and is often combined with a toilet/lunch stop.
- If not stated otherwise in your tickets, arrive at the bus station 20-30 minutes before departure. It will give you enough time to find the departure platform and check-in. For international trips, you may need more time for check-in and border formalities.
