Hoi An to Nha Trang Destination Reviews

M
No disposable water n snack, although a vip sleeping bus the seats weren't reclinabile. Pretty dirty bunks
Bus VIP 20, An Phu Hoi An Travel, Mar 19, 2024
AB
The seat was comfortable, but it was more than a 12-hour journey with only one stop which only happened 3 and a half hours after we had left Hoi An. As there were no toilets on the bus, this was a problem. After this, the drivers stopped for themselves many times in random places so they could smoke and pee, one of them peed just in front of my window too. In addition, the pick up and drop off places were different to the ones mentioned on the voucher and 12go website, and we arrived over an hour early (5 AM instead of 6:25), which made things a little tricky. Finally, it wasn’t really nice to keep smelling the smoke from the driver’s cigarettes he smoked while driving. Bad experience overall.

Left 2 hours late. Got on a bus, got comfortable and then got told that this was the wrong bus (which it wasn't, because not all of us who were going to Nha Trang gor dismissed), got taken somewhere else and got up on a different bus. Also, I understand that all the drivers don't know English, which is fine, but if there's a toilet or food stop, can't they just remember the words "toilet" and "food" so all the tourist know what's going on and don't have to ask all the bus passengers in hope that someone knows English and translates?

Bus actually went from a different spot to advertised - had to get in someone’s car for a lift to the real spot. Beds were ok. Crammed - wouldn’t bring a bag into the cabin if you can help it. But expected that. Main issue was we arrived 45 minutes early and they didn’t communicate that we’d arrived. We checked Google maps and were still outside the town so thought this was just a quick toilet stop: then then started shoving all the bags out and shouting at us to hurry up. They helped load our bags onto scooters before we were even off the bus to you have to try even harder not to get scammed with an overpriced scooter ride to your hotel.

The seats were nice, but the buss driver and staff didn’t let us oss by the first stoop for some odd reason. So we had too pay a lot more for taxi than we needed two. Did not want to listen when we tried to explain…
Bus Sleeper 38, Full Moon Party Tour (Full Moon Party Tour), Dec 19, 2023

The pick up / meeting point provided was wrong and had to wait ages to be transferred to the correct place. The bus itself came over an hour and a half late and didn’t even drop us to the location as purchased on the ticket. Stopped way outside the drop of point and we were forced off the bus to be greeted by taxi drivers aggressively telling us to come with them as there is no other way to the drop off point as the bus isn’t going there despite it saying that on the ticket. Had to spend more money on a taxi despite buying a ticket to a specific place. Only positive was the bus was comfortable and had a curtain.

Overall comfy seats and clean bus. Had to get a small car to the big bud meeting point but we were dropped off 30mins before the big bus arrived and had to wait under a shack to get out of the rain. Bus left outskirts Hoi an at 21:30 and arrived in Nah Trang at 7:30am. A few stops for breaks if needed. Two extra seats were sold so two locals slept on the floor in the aisle which made it difficult to use the toilet if needed.

Even tough the pick up was late we arrived 2 hours early. The bed was comfy but the ride was so bad and loud that you couldn’t sleep. The staff was unfriendly and didn’t respect the personal space

We have the Bus 33. Actually the Best Bus in Vietnam. Very clean, enough space also for people higher than 1,8m, and comfortable. Also enough break are planned. BUT the driver and his co-driver: I think it's part of the basic training that you're aggressive and evil. And he hooked the bus non-stop. Really. Non-stop.

We booked a bus at 7 PM, wasn‘t possible so we had to change our plans for the day and take an earlier bus at 5 PM. We agreed on the the earlier bus only because of the dropping point near our hotel, sadly for us, the dropping point was not nearby and we had to take an expensive taxi at 3 AM to the hotel…Be aware of that before booking your trip! Only good thing was the change from a 44 to a more comfortable 33 seater…

Travelling by bus essentials

  • If you are planning to travel during the high season, weekends, or national holidays, booking your bus tickets in advance is highly recommended. The demand is at its highest, yet very often, the number of coaches serving the route remains the same. The earlier you reserve your seat, the better. On some routes, you need to secure your ticket more than a month in advance; on others, a couple-of-days advanced booking is enough. During such periods, try to book online beforehand whenever possible, as showing up at the bus station without a ticket may result in many-hours of waiting in the queue or leave you downright stranded.
  • VIP, 1st, Gold, and similar bus tickets are the most expensive option, but they provide a higher level of comfort. Normally the price of such tickets will include wide soft reclining seats, blankets, water and snacks or lunch, and sometimes some toiletries. Upper-class buses travel faster, make fewer stops during the route, and normally provide more spacious seating to their passengers and a better travel experience.
  • Not all buses have an on-board toilet, but generally, for all trips longer than three hours, all operators schedule a bathroom and/or a lunch stop. While operators definitely do their best to keep on-board toilets clean, the smell may be an issue sometimes. For longer trips, booking a seat a bit farther from the toilet may be a good idea. Also, using bathroom stops for your toilet needs is always better than trying to find your balance in an on-board toilet on the run.
  • If you travel by an air-con bus, make sure to pack layers. A hoodie, a warm scarf, or a beanie hat may prove a good idea. Air-conditioning on buses tends to be excessive, and running nose and sore throats abound after even not the longest bus rides.
  • Always use the security belts even if your bus ride attendant or driver does not insist on it. Your safety comes first – for you, for sure. All buses normally are equipped with security belts, but they may be fixed behind your seat. Take time to find the belt and fix it appropriately.
  • To avoid being disturbed by overhead lights, switched on during stops even at night, and too loud music or sound from the on-board entertainment system, have earplugs and a sleeping mask at hand.
  • As a courtesy to other passengers, avoid using strong perfumes or smelly foods. Some foods like cheeses or durians are forbidden to take on-board – check in advance. Alcohol is also prohibited on the majority of buses.
  • Note that if the bus requires refuelling en-route, passengers will be asked to get off the bus. Operators are not allowed to refuel with passengers on board due to safety reasons. Usually, it takes from 5 to 10 minutes and is often combined with a toilet/lunch stop.
  • If not stated otherwise in your tickets, arrive at the bus station 20-30 minutes before departure. It will give you enough time to find the departure platform and check-in. For international trips, you may need more time for check-in and border formalities.
