About Royal Express
This train service was known for its luxurious travel experience, primarily catering to guests of the Royal Sapa hotel. The interior of the carriage was designed to reflect the elegance of the Royal hotel, featuring exquisite wooden decor and thoughtfully placed artistic furnishings. The sleeping cabins were equipped with modern amenities, including reading lights, comfortable berths, and clean bedding, alongside complimentary snacks and mineral water for guests. The dedicated staff and the warm atmosphere ensured that passengers enjoyed a relaxing and luxurious experience during their journey. Nevertheless, the service faced limitations, such as only having a single bathroom per carriage, which could be inconvenient for travelers. Additionally, there was no dedicated dining or bar carriage available, leading to potential discomfort during longer trips due to lack of food options. Pricing was competitive, with tickets typically ranging from USD 25 to USD 65 for a one-way journey.
