Sapa to Hanoi Destination Reviews

Terrible. The staff at check-in was rude and incompetent. The druver was a bit of psycho driving and watching a movie while at the wheel on and off. They were insane about people not esting on the bus but were eating themselves. He was also spitting out of the window, just disgusting. Having a video call during driving is a norm. We really regret taking this Sao Viet bus. The service was rather Soviet.

When we arrived at the bus station 1 hour early, it seems like we were not included in the booking for 1PM. The receptionist moved us to 1:30 pm without any explanations, maybe she had a hard time explaining in english. In any case, the bus we rode on was clean and comfortable. The ride out of Sa Pa gave us motion sickness, but it eventually settled down after the zig zag roads.

The agent is super helpful. They will contact you by Whatsapp one day before departure. The bus is super cozy. The light installation is comfortable enough. They provide one pillow and one blanket for your more comfortable sleep. The thing that I suggest is it will be more convenient to provide water bottle and wet napkin for the passengers.

The ride was good and the driver drove well. The bus was on time and we also arrived as planned. We lost our wallet in the bus and the bus driver A. Duong was very nice and helped us get it back.

We bought a ticket to Hanoi airport and the company simply didn't take us to the airport. When we saw that we were going to Hanoi, we told the driver who stopped on the road to wait for a bus that could take us to the airport. We had to cross a busy road, carrying suitcases, to wait for another bus coming in the opposite direction.

I give 4/5, because the bus was new and clean and the driver was kind and helpful. We have arrived at the end with no problems. BUT There are bad things I need to mention here: - we booked ticket for 16:15 but somehow the bus was full and we needed to wait for 17:00. Not OK, if you are chading a flight; - the toilets at the bus stops, both at Hanoi and Sapa, were like taken out of a horror movie.

Train

Train is a often a great choice for long-haul travel especially if you opt for a night sleeper train with berths which will allow you to sleep all your journey through. To make the most of your train journey, choose the class of your ticket wisely.

Note that there are air-conditioned and fan-only carriages; private compartments for 2 or 4; hard and soft seats.
Though the upper class you get the smoother is your journey, often second class air-conditioned or fan-only sleepers are a good money saving alternative.

Van

Vans are a great alternative - or, in many cases - your only option - if you need to travel overland within one and the same province or neighbouring provinces or states. Vans ply the roads between Sapa and Hanoi, too.

Things to remember: When travelling by van with huge luggage buying a separate seat for your suitcase or backpack is a good idea. Do not expect there is a roomy luggage compartment in a van - there is actually none and your fellow passengers are unlikely to appreciate your luggage stuck under their feet, alas.
