Bus arrived an hour late

Bus left an hour late and made a stop after 20 minutes so the drivers could have dinner. After this it did not make any further stops. This VIP bus did not seem very VIP, the seats were small and uncomfortable and the toilet smelt very bad.

We left on time, wonderful. Sleeping cabin was okay. There was a toilet on the bus! The only negatieve point is that there was no space for the luggage, so that was placed in the alle where people walked over.

The bus arrived 1h40 late. The bus was comfortable and clean, with toilets. The driver wasn't too bad. But the bed rails were at head level, which didn't prevent me from falling off while sleeping.

The drive was fast. The bus clean. But the beds are very narrow. The bus driver did not say the name of the city. I almost missed getting off.

The bus steward was aggressive showing us to our seats…Unsure what the rules are in Vietnam but there was a woman smoking below me and it just stank the whole bus. The seats are comfy but the way they drive you can’t really sleep.
