CHAPA EXPRESS TRAIN REVIEWS
Comfortable and clean – Barbara
“This train is pricier than some other overnight trains (and buses, obviously), but I think it was worth it. The room and beds were comfortable and nicely decorated. The bathrooms and sink area were clean and seemed to be cleaned regularly. Pulling out of Hanoi, the view from the train was very cool. We had a VIP cabin one way and a Suite cabin coming back, and I didn’t see much of a difference.”

Luxury beyond what I was expecting – Sarah
“What a fabulous experience this was – beautiful cabin, decorated luxuriously, good washbasins and toilets at end corridor and snacks. Certainly a journey in more style than we expected. This isn’t luxury travel though – don’t think Orient Express and bumpy and noisy as train goes over the tracks so not the best sleep but an amazing experience all the same.”

Surprisingly enjoyable experience – MrNorman
“Was expecting this to be a less than enjoyable experience, but was pleasantly surprised by how smooth the whole thing went – not the actual journey, I hasten to add, as it was noisy and bumpy – but smooth in every other way. We had a 4 birth cabin for 3 of us (make sure you pay for all 4 births as they will backfill the other bunk with a random traveller if you don’t). The cabin was clean, air conditioning worked and we were given snacks a free drink each. The toilet and washroom were clean and there was a staff member on hand if you needed help.
The one thing I would have changed was to hire a private car for the transfer to SaPa from the station, as the free van ride is too slow!!
All in all a though a fantastic experience if you’re travelling to SaPa.”
