Spotless cabin, warm Hmong decor, smooth booking

We took SP3 up to Lao Cai and SP4 back to Hanoi in the Premium 4-Berth cabin. Having the VIP Lounge at Lao Cai Station before the return train with herbal tea and snacks was a lifesaver.

Beautiful wooden Suite Twin cabin & great VIP lounge

Booked the Suite Twin Cabin ($113) plus the private 7-seat MPV transfer to Sapa ($32). Check-in at the Chapa Lounge on Le Duan street was effortless and the beds were super comfortable.
