If you don’t hold high expectation, this train is good enough for 8-hour journey to reach Sapa. Cabin is furnished with basic amenities. There is one toilet per carriage and a basic sink.

Although the space is not very roomy, there are not any problems if you bring heavy luggage. It is easy to fit two large cases under the bed.

You should book four berth train (for two) if you want to have more space. Cabin is basic with pillows and a basic sheet sleeping bag which was adequate.
