The fire on the ground floor of Haji Musa Mansion also left 25 people, including three firemen, injured.
As many as 19 units of the fire service tamed the flames at around 6 am Friday after the fire started at 3.15 am.
The dead include a woman identified as Suraiya, 22, said Mahfuz Riven, an official of the Fire Service Control Room.
Those injured in the incident were sent to Dhaka Medical College Hospital.
