Departures run roughly hourly from 6:30 to 18:45, plus late-night sleepers at 22:00 and 23:00, and the ride takes about 5.5-6 hours for the roughly 300 km, depending on traffic and mountain road conditions. The 22:00-23:00 buses arrive in Sapa around 4:30-5:30, and your exact pick-up time is confirmed by email or WhatsApp after booking.
Yes. Sao Viet is the only bus on the Hanoi-Sapa route with an onboard toilet, which is a real advantage on a 5.5-6 hour ride, especially on overnight departures when rest stops come at inconvenient hours.
All cabins are 90 x 180 cm enclosed pods with a window and privacy curtain, comfortable if you're under 180 cm tall. A Single Cabin (Upper Berth) is $18, a Single Cabin (Lower Berth) is $21 with less sway on mountain curves and easier access, and the Double Cabin (Lower Berth) at $30 can be shared by two people. Your exact berth is assigned by the operator and can't be selected in advance.
Pick-up points are on Tran Nhat Duat Street in the Old Quarter, Giai Phong Street, Pham Van Dong Street, or at Noi Bai Airport (Domestic Arrivals Gate E5 or International Column 17, 1F, where a minivan shuttles you to the nearby Sao Viet office). In Sapa a minivan drops you at your hotel in town, or at the Sao Viet office by Sapa Market if you're staying further out. Be in your hotel lobby at least 15 minutes early, or 30 minutes if your pick-up point is outside the pick-up area.
Up to 25 kg of checked luggage plus 1 small carry-on per person. Keep valuables with you in the cabin.
