Hanoi–Lao Cai -makuuvaunujuna Chapa Expressillä

寝台列車は素晴らしかったです。40分前に行くとハノイ駅のラウンジは満席で入る事さえ出来ませんでしたが、直ぐに車両に案内されたので問題ありませんでした。Chapaで予約しましたが、満床だったのか、Tonkin Heritageの車両でした。室内は清潔で美しく、スタッフの対応も丁寧です。プライベートキャビンにはペットボトルのお水、お菓子、歯ブラシ、櫛、耳栓が備えられており、ビールやソーダも持ってきてくれます。廊下にウォーターサーバーもありますがコップは用意されていないので、温かいものを飲みたい場合にはマグボトルなどを持参するといいか。列車は定刻通りでしたが、Sapa到着後のシャトルバス内で出発まで1時間近く待たされました。(満席にするために、移動手段を決めていない旅行者に声をかけていたみたいです。←声をかけられて乗車した人に聞きました)なので、評価評価の内訳は列車⭐︎7、バスは⭐︎3です。

We had a good experience trying out the Chapa Express from Hanoi to Sapa (Lao Cai station). Redemption of the Klook vouchers were pretty easy; upon arrival at Hanoi train station take the escalator up to the second floor and you'll see the Chapa Express VIP Room where you can check in. The VIP Room is pretty small and it was full so we just sat outside. The staff will call you when it's about time to board the train. The cabins were pretty comfortable and cozy and they provided some bananas, mineral water and some other Vietnamese snacks. The toilet was clean and there is also a separate sink outside. The whole journey took around 8 hours but we couldn't sleep much as it was quite noisy along the tracks even with earplugs. Upon arrival in Lao Cai we took a pre-booked van to Sapa town center which took another 40 minutes. Overall it was quite a good experience but I would rather take the overnight sleeper bus next time.

Everything was smooth, from the shuttle pickup to the welcoming at Lao Cai station till the arrangement at the cabin in the train. We enjoyed the trip very much! strongly recommended for those wanna try a heritage train!

이용전 단점에 신장 185cm이상은 다리 못 펴고, 기차가 흔들거리고 시끄러워서 수면에 방해을 준다는 글을 보고 걱정했는데 잠자리 예민한 와이프도 6시간 푹 자고 188cm인 저도 생각보다 불편하지 않아 푹 자고 일어났습니다. 탑승전 물과 간식을 구매해서 갔는데 제공해주는 물,바나나, 스낵들이 생각보다 양이 괜찮아서 자기전 폭식 하실거 아니면 굳이 간식 필요없을거 같아요. 돌아갈 땐 버스를 이용할건데 두 가지 비교해 볼 생각에 기대가 되네요. 그리고 라오까이-사파 셔틀버스 너무 편했고 운전해주시는 분이 운전 너무 잘 하셔서 편하고 빼르게 도착할 수 있었습니다. 기회가 되시면 앞자리 타세요.

One of the best transportation mode from Hanoi to Sapa and v.v. Leaves on time and bed are comfortable for the 8 hour travel. Each cabin has bottled water, bananas and snacks, toiletries like toothbrush and comb, and earplugs too. Clean restroom. Lounge in Lao Cai is clean and they provide free welcome snacks. If it’s your first time like us though, you’ll doubt if you’re in the right cabin as no staff will assist you onboard. But it’s easy to find your cabin.

its beeter than my expectations. everything is good and clean. and the air conditioning in the train is good so i have a good sleep throughout the travel!

amazing experience. it's expensive than the other transportation to sapa but it worthy money. Clean cabin provide water toothbrush comb. I booked with shuttle bus so that you dont have to spend again for grab or taxi.The shuttle bus will sent you to ur hotel. Good experience.

ความรู้สึก: Lounge บรรยากาศดี สามารถนั่งพักก่อนขึ้นรถไฟ สิ่งที่น่าตกใจคือฉันได้ที่นอนหมายเลขที่25 และมันไม่มีหมายเลขนี้ แต่พนักงานก็หาที่นอนให้ฉันได้โดยย้ายไปอีกตู้และหมายเลขที่นอนใหม่ ซึ่งฉันยังน่าพึงพอใจได้ ที่นอนสะอาดบรรยากาศดี รวมถึงห้องน้ำ ฉันลอบมากและคงกลับมาอีกครั้ง บริการรถรับส่ง: ถ้าจอง Shuttle Bus ไว้ เมื่อถึงสถานีในตอนเช้าจะพบพนักงาน ถือป้ายชื่อและต้องรอจนเต็มทุกที่นั่งก่อนออกเดินทางขึ้น Sapa ตามที่พักที่ระบุไว้

the experience was great. the host WhatsApp me a day before to confirm my tickets. the VIP lounge is a great place to rest with welcome drinks. cabin is great. just bumpy but expected. be careful there NO bathing facilities at the Sapa station. Throughout the train there will be people trying to sell you tibits. the complimentary drinks onboard is free but the coffee / tea upon arrival is NOT free and they will not inform you. 50000 dong. (3 in 1 coffee mixed)

very straight forward purchase via Klook. Received confirmation very quickly and received email from the provider in this case Chapa, the following day. Klook also addressed my concern of putting 3 of us together in same cabin (we do not get to choose which coach/bed) by advising me to email Chapa directly and provided the email address and also offered to also make a request to Chapa on our behalf. Chapa got back to me the following day. on the actual day I just showed them the ticket issued by Chapa on my phone and they issued an actual ticket with the coach number and bed numbers. Going to Lao Cai they didn’t issue me ticket just asked me to snap a picture of the ticket on their phone. in comparison the train to Lao Cai was in better condition then the one returning to Hanoi. I’m ok with sleeping anywhere. if you are ok with thinner mattress second class is good. Toilet is nearby and always clean. if u need thick mattress u have to go to the higher class and pay more; some has sofa and more fancy wash basin etc. We took some pictures. In conclusion the purchase process is straight forward and quick on Klook oh and it’s cheaper than the provider too.
