Hue to Hanoi Destination Reviews

Very comfortable bus, great experience overall.

Very uncomfy, difficult to sleep

Good, on timing, ride was chaotic but that's more due to the general state of the roads than the driving itself. Well managed, didn't lose any luggage. We were brought to the bus terminal by the agency's taxi.

The journey was fine. We arrived very early (5am instead of 7am) in Hanoi and everything was closed. Also the luggage was wet inside and outside. Everything else was ok.

The seats, cushions and blankets in our bus had seen better days and were pretty rancid. The toilet stank as soon as someone opened it. (If you have the seats in front of it, this is not pleasant). Otherwise, everything went smoothly.

Bus was ok but our backpack got completely wet, soaked in beer or something else from the luggage space…

The bus left 15 minutes late but arrived over an hour early. This sounds like a good thing but meant it was only 5am and still dark so didn't feel super safe and far too early to check in to my hostel. The bus itself was fairly comfortable and I slept well. But it could do with a decent clean and the rubbish hasn't been cleared away from the previous passengers. The toilet didn't smell great, I tried not to use it.

Chaotic - no seat allocation; people were moved many times by the staff. The bus was dirty. Chewing Gum was all over the place.

VIP Bus ? Old Blankets, Toilet really a Desaster. The Driver was 👍 He Drived safe 👍

Took the sleeper bus from Hue to Hanoi. The bus was on time an arrived early. There was slight confusion which bus to board as there were several leaving at same time, but the lady in the Grouptour office guided us for the right one. I was worried after reading bad reviews, but was pleasantly surprised. Bus was clean and smell-free, seats were comfortable. There was a toilet, pillow and a blanket, no wifi. I was seated at the very back and it got really hot, eventhough there was a/c on board. There was one toilet/food break during the ride. Overall it was a very exciting ride! Definitely will ride again.

Note that the travel time is for your reference only and can depend on different factors such as traffic and weather conditions. Heavy rainfalls almost inevitably make the trip longer due to poor visibility or floods. Road and surface repairs which happen quite often, result in detours and longer travel times.

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.
