Hue To Hoi An by sleeper bus

Bus to Hoi An

SUNDAY 24 JULY 2011


I had a relaxing start to the day and then got a taxi to the café where I had booked my bus ticket. I left my case there and went to a nearby 5 star hotel where I had lunch in their 19th floor bar, where there were magnificent views of the Perfume River. 

I was then taken by taxi to the Sinh Café where I got the 1.30 p.m. sleeper bus to Hoi An. The sleeper buses run from Hanoi to Ho Chi Minh City – a total of 1800 kilometres. There are no sitting seats, but each one is like a lounger, where you can sit up or lie down completely.

We arrived in Hoi An about 6.00 p.m. and I got a taxi to my hotel, the Pho Hoi Riverside Hotel. The staff here were not as helpful as I had experienced in Hanoi or Hue. My room had no view so I asked to change rooms because I was expecting a garden view and was told there were no other rooms, and yet on ‘Agoda’ it showed 3 other rooms at the same price were available. However, the hotel is in a great location, with lovely gardens, restaurant and a swimming pool, all overlooking the river with the ancient centre of Hoi An just over the bridge.
