Hanoi to Lao Cai Sleeper Train By Sapaly Express

This was our first overnight sleeper train so I don’t have any comparison to the other train companies. We book through klook a VIP cabin for 2 person. The voucher should be claim at a café in Lao Cai but the agent is not yet around and ask us to come back. Later that evening the agent whatsapp me the photo of our train ticket. I was worried that the train staff will ask the physical ticket but surprisingly there is no problem at all. I never regret travelling by train from Lao Cai to Hanoi because we slept properly the whole night.

Follow the instructions to collect the physical ticket outside the train station. The ride is bumpy but manageable if you're used to trains. Despite the bumps, I slept well. The cabin is standard, with free snacks, coffee sachets, and a toothbrush kit. The toilet is clean.

Very nice experience to ride the sleeper train.. we slept thru the night.. comfy beds.. just an interruption from the cabin staff to sell the beverages, ensure you lock the doors because they will just slide open the door. no issue to redeem the ticket, just show the voucher and the staff will help you

Great Experience! Bed n room are comfy for 4 people.. we slept thru the night.. Just ensure to lock your door, the cabin staff just open your door when they selling beverages.. No issue during redeem ticket, just show the voucher to the staff. they will guide you..

Booked a shared cabin on Sapaly Train from Lao Cai to Hanoi. Room was clean, beds were pretty cozy, it came with compliments snacks and water. Toilets were small but clean. 30 minutes before arriving at Hanoi station, 5am in the morning, they played a song through the speakers in the cabin so so loud that you jumped out from your sleep! We think it’s not necessary to do that! You also need to head to a restaurant near Lao Cai Train Station (5 minutes walk) to get the physical tickets.

Availed the Hanoi to Lao Cai Sleeper Train by Sapaly Express, and it made our travel hassle-free. The cabin is clean, as well as the toilet. There are also 2 lavatories located outside the toilet.

easy to redeem the train ticket at the Hanoi rail way station. The tickets counter open at 9pm. The train is quite clean and the speace is big enough for the adults. I travel with my family and my kids are very happy with train ride. The train leaving on time and reached the Loa Cai station on time.

We prefer this over Sleeper Bus despite it has longer travel time and needs another transfer to Sapa city center. Since the bus route can make you feel nauseous than the train route.

Train is pretty decent at the price we paid. A lady guided us to our coach and the sheets smells good. There were also some goodies and the toilet is clean.

You would have to search a bit for the ticket exchange booth, luckily we went early. Journey was smooth, unfortunately got charged for coffee. Wish shuttle bus service was included.
