Hello everyone! Today, I would like to share my real experience of sleeping on a VIP Cabin Bus in Vietnam! ๐
This trip, we came for 6 days and 5 nights. We were bored of visiting one city, so we looked for a way to continue on a low budget. And then...
๐ฃ๏ธ "Hey, I want to save money on accommodation. Staying for many days is expensive."
๐ก "Then let's just sleep on the bus!!"
This idea came to me, and I booked it without hesitation! ๐
๐ Bus of choice: VIP Cabin Bus by Viet Nhat
โ๏ธ Reason for choosing:
Depart at night, arrive at the destination in the morning, and continue your trip!
There are reviews that say it's quite good, suitable for women traveling (this trip was all 3 women!)
Price 530เธฟ (website ticket 489เธฟ + fee that's so high it makes you cry ๐ญ)
๐ Bus stop: 263 D. Pham Ngลซ Lรฃo, District 1
This area is a bus stop on the entire street. Every house is a bus stop! Easy to find, just ask for directions, Vietnamese people are very kind
๐ฑ The peak of the trip
Got on the wrong bus!!! But I realized it in time, quickly checked the ticket and got off just in time ๐
The bus I booked was delayed for almost half an hour, so I had to be calm...
When I got on the bus, the staff gave me a bag to put my shoes + water and then took me to my own bed.
๐๏ธ The living conditions on the bus
Each bed has:
โ
1 pillow
โ
1 very thin blanket
โ
Personal TV (but I couldn't watch anything ๐คฃ)
โ
2-3 USB ports
โ
Personal light + personal curtain
Wi-Fi is available but sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. It's okay for a bus.
๐จ Disadvantages you need to know
- Vietnam = The city of horns ๐๐ข Sleeping on the bus is like sleeping next to an alarm clock all night.
- The road is good, but when you brake, your body will slide ๐
- Very cold! โ๏ธ The blanket provided is very thin, bring something to protect yourself from the cold!
- No matter how good your travel companions are, they can't help ๐ญ We got hit by the people above "Step on the head" when getting off the bus 1 time
- High chance of having the curtains opened because people often sleep in the wrong place 555 (we got it once)
- Snoring is there, but not much, considered acceptable
โญ๏ธ Summary of impression scores
๐ Accuracy: ๐๐๐๐๐ (Better than expected!)
๐โ๏ธ Service: ๐๐๐๐ (Deducted 1 star because I thought there would be more service)
๐ฅถ Coldness: โ๏ธโ๏ธโ๏ธโ๏ธโ๏ธ (Getting hit by the iron is startling)
๐บ Comfort: ๐๐๐๐ (Very good for a sleeper bus)
๐ Summary: Should you try it?
โ
If you want a new experience + save on accommodation โ Go for it!
โ
Travel at night, wake up and continue traveling โ Very worthwhile
โ ๏ธ But if you are a person who has difficulty sleeping or is extremely sensitive to the cold โ You might have to think carefully
For us, we are happy with the experience! Even though there were some peaks, it was a super fun trip โค๏ธ For those who want to try sleeping on a bus in Vietnam, I hope this review will help! โจ
