ok, so it's not luxurious, but comfortable. Weird sharing a room with two French folks that didn't speak English, but they were nice. Bathroom serviceable, but not too fancy. ride was bumpy, but mysterious. a genuine experience. cool to walk in the train hall way at night and look out an open window
Hanoi to Lao Cai night train. Leave at 9.20 pm, we booked a 2 berth cabin, no sharing with strangers. 2 bunk beds, pillows and blanket. Bed side table with a cold beer and coke, bananas, biscuits and nuts are a nice touch. Hot coffee and tea arrive as we depart. Great views of Hanoi as we slowly leave the city. Sleep well as we rattle and sway through the night. Shortly before we arrive in Lao Cai there is a knock on the door and coffee and breakfast bars delivered. The train was way better than the return trip by road.
