Noisy; beds ok; on time.

Totally uneventful, in a good way. First time on a Vietnam sleeper. Got it at 06:45 to Nha Trang. Early start meant we (family of 4) could catch up on sleep in the berth. Overall the journey was straightforward, relatively on-time (30 mins late) and easy.

We booked upper and lower births and when we got our set’s confirmation they moved us both to the upper two births and two local to the bottom births. Upper births are tight fit for westerners at best. Also smoking in the food car.

Bus wasn't on time. Beds are not made at all for 1.80 meter people. Bus could have woken up passengers 15 minutes before arrival! He stops and yells "you have to get out quick"! was my first and last ride.

I’m very tall. 195 cm. So I was happy to just fit in the bed within the berth. I put earplugs in and slept great the whole train ride!

The pick up station Phuong Trang Waiting House is not on GRAB. So not easy to find and book via app. The bus was over 20 mins late and the bus drivers treated me, as if I was late and grabbed my stuff and threw my things in to the side trunk. They screamed at me to jump into the bus. I hurried and stepped in a hurry because the bus started to move and I was already afraid to fall down. When entering the bus and the bus driver hit my leg and shouted at me to take the shoes off. I had shorts on and it was not appropiate to hit a woman's leg! So it would be helpful if this information would be on the PDF. Especially, as foreign traveller, when rushed like a pig to the slaughter into the bus. In this moment I had no chance to make myself aware of local habits. And was shocked that I was treated and hit on my leg like this. Again, I was punctual: myself and my luggage should have been treated with a little bit more respect. Then I was leaded to a seat on the upper deck. But I had reserved mine on the ground. All other seats were already occupied. He insisted that I take the left one. I had to say again that I reserved and the I booked ground with a seat number. After discussing the woman who was on my seat finally moved away. Again, I didn't do something wrong and unfortunately had to discuss. MINUS: service MINUS: No WIFI although it was stated as service! MINUS: Very annoying: people are listening music or shows without headphones on their mobile phones. MINUS: Toilet door was not closing properly. It luckily didn't pop up while I using it. Imagine ;-) PLUS: Bus driver drove safely. Using the horn all the time. PLUS: The bus ride itself was comfy and I arrived where I wanted to go. PLUS: Lunch break. Well organized place. So therefore average of 3 stars.

Overall ok experience. Didn’t realise how small the back three beds were until we got on the bus but that’s ok we know for next time. Main issue was finding the bus as ours was actually parked at a different location to the one this website told us and we only found it after some locals helped us and took us there - but we nearly missed it so I recommend double checking you’re in the right spot as soon as you get there. No problems once we got on the bus, would just recommend getting a bed that’s separated by an aisle if you actually want some sleep.

Ordering tickets with 12go works easy and fast, got an e-ticket to show on the mobile phone at the train station, paid by ViSA credit card. The train was perfectly on time, but any comfort or cleanliness are more or less missing.
