About
Sonata Premier Hotel & Spa
Sonata Premier Hotel & Spa sits on Bat Dan Street in Hanoi’s Old Quarter, an area known for its narrow lanes, street food, and colonial architecture. The hotel is roughly 200 metres from the Post Office and a short walk from Trang Tien Plaza, and guests consistently mention the convenience of being close to the big church (St. Joseph’s Cathedral) and the railway station.
The property is small – just 16 rooms – spread over several floors with a lift. Rooms are soundproofed and air-conditioned, and many come with balconies. The hotel also runs a spa offering a full menu of treatments, from facials and body wraps to foot and head massages, plus a restaurant with special diet menus.

In brief
What works, what to weigh
+
Strengths
4 reasons to book- Exceptional location in the Old Quarter — Within walking distance of St. Joseph’s Cathedral, the railway station, and Trang Tien Plaza, with cafes and the Old Quarter’s lanes right on the doorstep.
- Balcony rooms are a standout — Several room types include a private balcony, which guests single out as a highlight, from the King to the triple and double options.
- Friendly, helpful staff — Guests repeatedly note the welcoming attitude, with particular praise for Ms An and the team’s ability to resolve concerns, plus extras like wake-up calls and concierge.
- Good value for the price — With rates from £154, the hotel offers a full spa, restaurant, and soundproofed rooms – a solid package for the central location.
–
Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Compact scale — With only 16 rooms, the hotel is small – expect a more intimate, less anonymous stay than a larger property.
- Facilities rating is the lowest — While rooms score 7.8, overall facilities sit at 7.3 – suggesting the spa and common areas are functional rather than lavish.
- No parking or pets — There’s no on-site parking listed, and pets are not allowed – a limitation if you’re driving or travelling with an animal.
- Check-in starts at 14:00 — If you arrive early in Hanoi, you may need to wait or store luggage until the 2pm check-in window.

04 — Location
Getting around Hanoi
The property sits in Hanoi.
Old Quarter: Hanoi’s historic old town is a maze of narrow streets, each historically dedicated to a trade – from silk to silver. It’s a five-minute walk from the hotel, and the best way to explore is on foot, stopping at street-side cafes and food stalls.
St. Joseph’s Cathedral: The neo-Gothic cathedral, built in the 1880s, is a short walk from the hotel. The surrounding square is a popular meeting point, especially in the evening when the area fills with locals and visitors.
Trang Tien Plaza: A convenient shopping destination steps away, offering a mix of international brands and local goods – handy for picking up anything you forgot or browsing for souvenirs.
