Rather than drive for 5 hours from Hanoi to Lao Cai (and SA Pa), we decided to take the train.
My wife and I got an air-conditioned sleeper private cabin. Minutes from an evening departure, we arrived in Lo Cai, with a shot private drive to beautiful SA Pa. We had a good night’s sleep and felt well rested when we arrived.

Train was clean with fresh bed linen, with refreshments provided , toilet and wash area clean and trolley selling coffee and food just before departure and arrival.
Train left bang on time and arrived bang on time. Easy to find at the station in Hanoi and allowed on train 30 mins before departure after a simple voucher exchange at the station. I would no hesitation in recommending this train

We travelled on the overnight train to Lao Cai This was a memorable experience with waitress service in the two person cabin. The train is old and does not run very smoothly but we both had a decent nights sleep. We were woken with a cup of tea prior to arrival at 0600. I recommend this as a method of travelling to Sapa
