We recently travelled to Sapa on the Chapa Express train. We booked with Winsome and everything went smoothly. After the payment, they sent us a train voucher through email. The cabin was much more than our expectation. We had our own 2 berth cabin with fruits, drinks, snacks and amenities kits. The cabin was compact but comfortable and intimate. The beds are very comfortable and although it is quite bumpy ride at times but we slept very well

Not sure which train other reviewers took but our 10pm train was faultless. As a couple we booked a two person cabin so we didn’t have to deal with bunk beds. The linen was fresh and spotlessly clean. On my last overnight train in another Asian country the toilet was not really usable.
Water and small snacks were also included in the cabin.
The train left on time and I was probably asleep within 20 minutes. There were the inevitable noises from the track but I reckon I got a solid 6 hours sleep before my 6am alarm.
This is an excellent way to get to Sa Pa. We arrived at our hotel in time for breakfast and our restful sleep left us with plenty of energy to trek all day.

Despite the grinding and clanking throughout the train trip the four berth cabin was very comfortable. Toilet and washbasin were very clean with lots of paper
