Frequently asked questions
About King Express Train From Hanoi to Sapa.
Which cabin should I choose on the Hanoi to Sapa train?
The Deluxe 4-Berth Cabin is $48 per person in a shared four-bunk cabin (berths 70x185 cm) — good for families, groups of three or more, or solo travelers happy to share. For privacy, book a whole VIP cabin: the Twin-Bed Cabin is $180 (two 70x185 cm berths) and the Double-Bed Cabin is $210 (one 140x190 cm bed); both VIP cabins also include complimentary soft drinks and beer.
Does the train take me all the way to Sapa town?
No — the overnight journey of about 8.5 hours ends at Lao Cai Train Station, roughly 40 km from Sapa town, so you'll need to book onward private transport to reach your hotel.
What time should I be at the station for the Hanoi to Sapa train, and do I need a paper ticket?
Arrive at least 1 hour before departure — Hanoi Train Station at 120 Le Duan Street outbound, Lao Cai station (Khanh Yen Street) for the 21:30 return — and exchange your e-ticket for a paper ticket at the counter; you can't board without it.
Is there a toilet on board the Hanoi to Sapa train, and are meals included?
Every coach has a private restroom. Meals are not included, but all cabins get mineral water, coffee, tea, cookies, and fresh fruit, plus plush bedding, air conditioning, charging ports, a reading light, and free WiFi.

Children under 4 years old and under 112 cm tall travel free when sharing a berth with a parent or guardian; children over 4 or taller than 112 cm need a full ticket.
