We took the sapa nomad sleeper bus from Hanoi to Sapa and it was a great experience.
The staff are very approachable.
They provide water as well to and fro.
On the way back from Sapa to Hanoi, my pillow was slightly dirty and i asked the staff to change it and they changed to a clean pillowcase which was great.
Need to take note of the bus which is “G8 tour” and not “Sapa Nomad” but you can book via “Sapa Nomad” website for the sleeper bus.
Upper deck cabin is for 1 person and you need to climb, won’t be suitable for persons with mobility issues. lower deck is for 2 persons.
There’s 2 toilet stops. Roughly about 6 hour journey including stops.
Overall great experience.

On 16th Aug 2024, I used Sapa Nomad’s bus service to travel from Hanoi to Sapa, and it was a fantastic experience for both me and my family. What stood out the most was their excellent customer service. From the moment I booked the tickets, they maintained regular communication, ensuring I was informed about every aspect of the journey. As it was our first time visiting Vietnam, their attentiveness and detailed updates were incredibly reassuring. Their commitment to making our trip smooth and stress-free was evident, I highly recommend their service, especially for first-time travelers.

We booked a double-cabin sleeper bus with Sapa Nomad. It was so easy and they’re very reliable. We had last minute adjustments in our schedule and they helped us sort our our bus schedule and pick-up points easily. This is such a great help to people traveling to Sapa — one less thing to worry about. Overall, such a great experience! 🙂
