Traveling with
Violette Trains
We took the overnight train from Hanoi to Da Nang. The cabin was clean & safe. Staff very friendly & professional. Were able to leave our suitcases in the Hanoi lounge area (for a small fee), before the train, as we were quite a few hours early. There was food & drink available to purchase on the train. Take a book or games to pass the time, & a sweater / comfy pants as it’s chilly with the AC.
All in all, a very fun journey that added to our overall experience of Vietnam!
