Choosing by your train
Night trains leave in the evening: Hue (SE3 at 7:20 pm), Da Nang (SE1 at 9:45 pm) and Lao Cai for Sapa (departures between 9:45 pm and 10:40 pm), according to the timetable read on 21 October 2026; see night trains from Hanoi station. A nearby hotel mainly suits a night before an early departure or a late arrival, or a day room before the train (some hotels offer hourly rooms: ask).
Noise
You hear trains, horns and announcements near the station, plus the traffic on Le Duan street. Ask for a high floor on the side away from the station; earplugs help. Without heavy luggage, a Grab from the lake takes about 10 minutes, for a modest fare.
Alternatives
- For a quiet sleep: hotels near Hoan Kiem Lake and French Quarter.
- For Train Street: hotels near Train Street.
- Low budget: cheap hotels in Hanoi.
- Luggage before the train: left luggage.
- To Sapa: Sapa by train or bus.
