Passengers can truly enjoy a wonderful sleep in the train as they are in a superior hotel.
Sapaly Express Train is decorated with stunning and luxurious interior following the European standards. The train has two special carriages including SP3 and SP4. Unlike other trains, each carriage in Sapaly Express has 6 cabins instead of 7 cabins as usual. Therefore, each cabin has more space. There are two cabin types including Deluxe 4 Berths Cabin and VIP 2 Berths Cabin. Deluxe 4 Berths Cabin is pretty suitable for family or a groups of more than two people because of its extensive space and cozy ambience, meanwhile, VIP 2 Berths Cabin is good choice for couples, singles, or those who want to enjoy a private space.

PROS
Sapaly Express Train has a suitable time schedule of late departure and late arrival. With the night schedule like this, guests will not feel tired with an eight hour journey. On the other hand, staying in a cabin like a 3-star hotel’s room, guests can enjoy a good sleep. In the following day, when they get up, it is also the time that the train arrive.
CONS
There are only few options of entertaining activities when staying in the train. However, this is not a big problem because with this night train, tourists would prefer to sleep rather than join in leisure activities.

Generally, the cabin is fully equipped with basic needs like water, toothbrush, and a comb. Snacks and waters were available. Take it easy, do it for experience and fun.

The agent – Blue Dragon Tours promptly answered my emails. I asked to book cabin in the middle and they supported me well. Waters and snacks were complimentarily provided on the train. TIP: choose cabin in the middle of the carriage. It is much quieter than ones at the end of the train.

I shared VIP 2 berth cabin with another tourist. The overall experience was fine. We were provided welcome drinks, beers, and 2 bottles of water. Toilet was clean at first, however, it turned out clean or not depending on other passengers on the train, so I couldn’t blame this fault for the train.

My family of four (husband, wife, and 2 sons) booked a 4-berth cabin in Sapaly Express. Blue Dragon Tours organized a private driver to collect us from our hotel. It was good experience overall. We were pleased with the condition of the cabin. Despite the limited space, the cabin was pretty clean. Beds were comfortable enough so my kids slept well.
