Orient express train Sapa review
We took the train SaPa to Hanoi (obviously you can go the other way too). The train has lots of carriages all marketed as different brands. When booking, ask for a discount and they are often not full, at least when we were there in June which is low season. Also, ask for free soft drinks, snacks, beers and whatever you can get.
Jezza1983 / Sydney, Australia As part of the Mountain Travel SOBEK Vietnam trip, we traveled by Orient Express from Hanoi to Sapa and it was incredible. We were met by a uniformed steward bearing a fine bottle of chilled wine for us in our private room. There was an elegant dining room but we skipped dinner for the wine in the elegant room. The bathrooms were very nice for a train and the staff very helpful. We had a great nights sleep and this is a must for travel in Vietnam.
