Train, bus and car transport from Hanoi to the top sightseeing spots. 

We absolutely loved our time on the Chapa Express! Highly recommend it to anyone who wants something a little different. Staring out the window as we entered Hanoi was a great experience to see the city waking up. The Queen Suite was perfect as you get a double bed as well as two chairs so you don’t have to lie down the whole journey! 
 It was really well organised - thank you!

The train ride itself is very loud. But you will experience this on every night train. We booked the deluxe cabin 4 beds and the beds were better than expected! Good mattrass (thick) and blanket. They provide earplugs, which are really necessary. Toilet was clean. Wifi on board worked most of the time.

We booked VIP cabin for 2 adults &amp; 2 children to Sa Pa. Fuss free collection of tickets, access to VIP Lounge before entering Chapa Express. Very comfortable experience and great to see Hanoi Train Street from inside the wagon. 
 Pack the PJ’s into the handluggage for quick and convenient change of clothes. 2 large luggages and 2 cabin bags fit comfortably underneath the lower beds. 
 Highly recommend and would do it again!

We enjoyed the atmosphere and privacy of our 2 person cabin. It was comfortable and the bedding was of quality and clean. 
 The setting and sway of the train going through the night has a timeless quality and makes for a nice overnight journey.

Booked the suite, 2 person in one room. Was given free upgrade to premium suite which was a wonderful experience. Had a queen sized bed and a small living room area to put luggage, sit down, have some snacks. Very unique experience. Also thoughtful, given ear plugs in anticipation of noise.

The cabin is really nice and clean. You can also take shower at their lounge while waiting for the departure.

Despite the loud engine noise our family managed to sleep throughout the journey. 

The cabins are great especially cabin 11 (for 2 or 4 berths). We returned to Hanoi in cabin 11. They are painted in white with beige curtains, the warm lights make the cabin very cozy and the paintings on the wall make the cabin look fun and creative. 

We went to Lao Cai in cabin 12 - painted in black with red curtains. Nice too but we prefer the white cabin — looks warm and bright.

There’s ONE downside. Do NOT let the Hanoi Train Station officers tell you that Chapa lounge is NOT open yet. CHAPA Lounge is open at 8pm and the Hanoi train stationofficers told us they are open at 9pm. They will make you deposit 100k dong (abt sgd$5 plus) so you don’t have to lug your luggage around. NOT true. Simply arrive the train station at 8pm and head straight for the lounge at 2nd floor. You get cinnamon flavoured tea and pop corn (hanoi style) but the CHAPA lounge (FREE entrance with free wifi) at Hanoi Train station is beautiful. 

The Chapa lounge officers gave us conflicting message about the opening hours. Do NOT listen / Trust the Hanoi Train station officers. They will intercept you when you step into the train station. Head straight for the 2nd floor and ask CHAPA lounge officers — polite and thoughtful unlike the vulture-like Hanoi Train station officers. 

CHAPA express lounge in Hanoi does NOT offer food. CHAPA express lounge works differently in Lao Cai. U can buy food and walk in and eat at the lounge. 

Regardless of the HANOI train station officers (nOT CHAPA train officers) deceitful attempt to make money from CHAPA train passengers, my family will still take CHAPA Express in the future. We have taken worse ones in Vietnam.
