We traveled from Hanoi to SaPa on the 10 pm bus. On time departure and arrival, the ride was comfortable and the bus very clean. I don’t regret having opted for it, even though I was a bit apprehensive about winding roads. Felt very safe :)

Booked: Hanoi to Sapa Sleeper Bus (Best Value)

Excellent bus service in terms of punctuality and cleanliness. Took the sleeper bus from Hanoi to Sapa departing at 7am - do note that you will be asked to arrive ready to board half an hour before. However, they still waited for the last two remaining passengers who arrived around 645am. Bus still arrived at Sapa as scheduled at 1pm. Bed feels new and very clean, in part as they require you to remove your shoes before boarding - they thoughtfully provide plastic bags for you to bring your shoes in. Bed is completely lie-flat, but you can also incline it up slightly for better back support. A clean fleece blanket is also provided. Window shades can be drawn for sleeping.

Their friendly staff was extremely helpful in accommodating us, even reminding us on our trip and timing. The bus ride itself was very smooth and we were allowed to sleep in until 6am, even though the bus reached at 4am. I accidentally left my Apple Watch on the overnight bus, and thought it would be gone. I contacted the staff again and managed to get it back on the same day! 11/10 would recommend to anyone.

Booking with SeekSophie was very easy and straight forward. We took the morning departure and arrived at the station 30mins before departure. They ask you to remove shoes upon entering the bus and let you put your shoe in a plastic bag. The bus is very clean, they give you a water bottle and a clean blanket. We selected the lower berth which cost a little extra. It is on the floor level, so if you have knee problems it may be a bit of a challenge. The upper berth would be on waist level which you would have 3 step ladder to help you. At bus stops, they give you slip ons to use. They are not the cleanest, so use with socks. Overall, it was a great and comfortable experience.
