Premiere Sleeper Train Ticket: Hanoi - Sapa - Hanoi

Staff is nice and helpful. Smooth journey, place a bit small but manageable. Don’t expect any view cuz at night, and you will sleep all night. But overall experience, amazing! You have to try if u going from hanoi to sapa. In case anyone want to know where can keep luggage, got luggage storage locker in Hanoi Train Station, 50k for 4 hours.

Family and I truly enjoyed our ride from Lao Cai to Hanoi onboard Chapa Express. Bed was plush and comfortable, ammenities provided were thoughtful (slippers, water, banana, etc) and train staff was friendly and helpful too. Cabin itself was modern and clean, with the train going at a comfortable speed, where we felt the rocking motion was reduced. Big thanks to SeA Travel, especially Ms Xuan, our contact person who was easily reachable and helped with our bookings.

Someone will notify me the day before to confirm my identity. When I arrived at Lao Cai train station, someone was waiting with my name on it, which was very convenient. Then I went directly to the hotel I booked in Sapa

You can sleep on the train at night, arrive in Lao Cai when you wake up, and continue your journey to Sapa with full energy.

The driver already wait at the station when we arrive and he hold our name so easy to find him.The driver directly send us to the hotel.I recommend to purchase this shuttle bus to sapa if you take train.

It’s really a super old train with tastefully furnished cabin, expensive it is. It’s a tourist thing, the locals don’t do this for sure. Fun for the whole family. It’s not easy to sleep well, you’ll be super tired after this. Not sure about other operators, but for Chapa, I don’t feel the toilet is good. The hospitality is awesome though. Overall, yes, you should experience it at least once.

No fuss shuttle bus ride from Lao Cai station to Sapa town. The driver will drop you off at your place of accommodation. Overall shuttle ride took about 45mins, very comfortable ride.

We truly enjoyed the overnight sleeper train from Hanoi to Lao Cai while heading to Sapa. It was truly unique and we had a very comfortable sleep at night. We purchased the VIP cabin for 2 persons, there were complimentary snacks and bottled water and toothbrushes to use. We were pleasantly surprised that the sleeper train was clean, from the cabin to the toilets. However the instructions to redeem the paper tickets at Hanoi Railway Station were not really clear, it was simply spotting a guy sitting at a makeshift table at the station entrance. You will have to mention your voucher number and he will pass you the tickets accordingly. There will also be a guy going around asking if you want coffee/tea before the train arrives the next day, please note that the drinks are chargeable and in my opinion, highly overpriced for instant coffee. But overall, highly recommend this to all!

Took the last shuttle bus from Sapa to Lao Cai to catch the 930pm train. The last shuttle departs right before sunset, and ride was full. Driver was responsible - keeping within speed limit, obeyed the traffic rules, etc. We were dropped at a restaurant near (within 100m) the Lao Cai train station and waited there till our boarding time. Thanks to SeA Travel and especially Ms Xuan for helping with our bookings
