Perfectly adequate way to get to Lao Cai
Our family of four took the Chapa Express night train to get from Hanoi to Lao Cai and found it to be perfectly adequate. Our cabin was clean and comfortable, and we appreciated the water, snacks, and toothbrushes provided. The linen was fresh, and the air conditioning worked well. Thanks to the reviews we had read, we knew to expect little room for luggage, so we left our large suitcases in storage in Hanoi and traveled with only backpacks that fit comfortably under the beds. We all got a good night's rest despite the train's rattles and shakes.

What an experience with Chapa Express
It's far from perfect, but that gives it its charm- we booked a two-bedroom private cabin of Chapa Express Train, which I thoroughly recommend as you may get a random person in your cabin which can be awkward. The room was clean and had all the items the brochure said it would have, also the toilet was basic but again clean. As expected, the journey was a tad bumpy but you soon get used to it & you soon find yourself falling asleep. Woke in the morning to a knock at the door with a lady offering hot drinks- at a cost. You receive notice that the train will be nearing its destination.

Comfortable and good service Chapa Express
The Chapa express staff impressed us with their prompt service and close attention to every detail. Cabins were precise as in the picture with clean beds and facilities. An added cherry on top was their sweet welcome snacks complete with wine. I had no trouble booking or boarding all throughout of which the Chapa hotline kept in touch with me over email and SMS, diligently tracking my status both in Hanoi and Lao Cai. Their staff and lounge service in Lao Cai is a real pleasure especially if you are returning tires from Sapa with the hot shower facilities real heaven-sent.
