MK Premier Boutique Hotel: Inside the Old Quarter on Hang Buom Street

MK Premier Boutique Hotel: Inside the Old Quarter on Hang Buom Street

MK Premier Boutique Hotel stands at 72-74 Hàng Buồm Street, in the middle of the Hanoi Old Quarter rather than at its edge — one minute from Tạ Hiện, three from Đồng Xuân Market, seven from Hoàn Kiếm Lake. It is a 4-star of 52 rooms across six categories, with a rooftop bar, a gym and its own silk boutique. You are inside the noise, which is either the point or the problem.

Where exactly is MK Premier Boutique Hotel?

On Hàng Buồm, the old sail-makers' street, which runs east from Hàng Ngang towards Ô Quan Chưởng. This is the dense heart of the quarter: tube houses, the Bạch Mã temple a few doors away, and Tạ Hiện — the beer corner — about a minute's walk from the door.

That proximity is worth thinking about before you book. Tạ Hiện runs loud until late at weekends, and Hàng Buồm itself is busy with delivery bikes from early. Ask for a high floor or a city-view room at the back if you are a light sleeper; the hotel's Deluxe Internal Window category is, ironically, the quiet one.

How far is the hotel from Hanoi's main sights?

As published by Expedia's property listing, checked November 2026.

DestinationDistance / timeHow you get there
Tạ Hiện Street (beer corner)0.1 km, 1 minWalk
Ô Quan Chưởng gate0.3 km, 3 minWalk

Hanoi Old Town night market0.5 km, 5 minWalk
Hoàn Kiếm Lake0.6 km, 7 minWalk

This is the most walkable address of the three Old Quarter hotels we write up: the night market starts at the end of the street, and Đồng Xuân is three minutes away, which makes a free evening genuinely free of transport.

What rooms does MK Premier Boutique Hotel have?

Six categories across 52 rooms. Every category takes two adults plus one child under four, and the Triple takes three adults.

The Deluxe Triple at 35 m² is the useful one for us: three adults in one room, properly, without a rollaway squeezed between beds. In the Old Quarter that is rarer than it sounds.

What is there to eat and drink in the hotel?

Four outlets, all MK's own: MK Restaurant, MK Rooftop Bar, MK Cafe and MK Lounge. The rooftop serves breakfast, lunch and dinner from the restaurant kitchen plus cocktails and snacks, and takes private cocktail parties of up to 100 guests. Opening hours are not published for any of them.

What other facilities does the hotel have?

A gym (MK Fitness), a meeting room, and MK Silk — the hotel's own silk boutique selling wear, scarves and accessories, which on Hàng Buồm is less of a gimmick than it sounds, since the silk streets are two minutes away. There is no pool.

The hotel also runs its own tour desk, selling day tours to Ninh Bình, Ha Long cruises and Sapa trips. Worth knowing so your clients are not sold a second itinerary at the front desk.

When should you choose MK Premier over another Old Quarter hotel?

Choose it for a group that wants to be in the thick of it and will be out until late — the location puts the night market, Tạ Hiện and Đồng Xuân within five minutes on foot — and for any booking that needs a real triple room.

Look elsewhere for an early-to-bed group, for anyone who needs a pool, or where a quiet night matters more than a central address. Hàng Gai or Hàng Bông, two streets of silk shops away, are calmer at the same distance from the lake.

What does World Mate Travel use this hotel for?

Short Old Quarter stays for younger and independent travellers, triples, and groups whose evenings are the point of the trip. Ask us for the current rate rather than reading one off a booking site.

MK Premier Boutique Hotel questions

How many rooms does the hotel have?

52, according to the hotel's own website. Expedia's listing says 65. We quote 52 until the hotel confirms otherwise, and the gap is worth asking them about.

Is the hotel noisy?

It can be. Tạ Hiện is a minute away and runs late at weekends, and Hàng Buồm has delivery traffic from early morning. The internal-window rooms are the quiet ones, and a high floor helps. If your group needs silence, this is the wrong street.

Does the hotel have a swimming pool?

No. It has a gym, a rooftop bar and a meeting room, but no pool. For an Old Quarter hotel with a pool you need a larger property.

Is there a room for three adults?

Yes — the Deluxe Triple, 35 m², with either a double plus a single or three singles, and it takes a child under four as well. This is the category we book when a family or three friends want to stay together.

How much is the airport transfer?

The hotel does not publish a fare; Expedia lists an airport shuttle at USD 20 per vehicle as of November 2026. We arrange transfers ourselves, so the question does not usually arise.
