I stayed at the Vain for 5 nights. The location is great: 2 blocks from Plaza Italia and subway, zoo, botanical garden; located in Palermo Soho, full of little funky shops and restaurants. Totally safe area, contrary to what some previous reviews said. we had a room on the 1st floor facing the courtyard and it was very quiet. Hotel... more

My wife and I stayed at the Vain for 3 nights recently and enjoyed the hotel. It is in a great location in Palermo Soho and the staff were very accomodating to us. We did have to change our room on the second floor from the room facing the street (I think 201) to one in the middle (I think... more

I had a very bad experience in this place (I can't call it "hotel"). I've been there with my girlfriend and when we arrived we couldn't believe we were paying about 200 USD for such a place. The room was ridiculous small and it had no windows, no natural light at all, no shelves, no local air conditioned, no privacy...... more

My partner and I had a splendid stay at Hotel Vain. Being our first but certainly not the last trip to Buenos Aires we were not sure what area of the city we wanted to stay in. After careful research we decided on Palermo. We found Hotel Vain on the internet and thought it would fit our needs quite well.... more

the hotel is conveniently located. it's modern decor is pleasing but looks slightly worn down. the rooms are not soundproof and you can hear people walking down the hallway. the room service menu is basically a sandwich, although i enjoyed the complimentary breakfast with eggs, breads, freshly squeezed juice and coffee. the staff is very nice and warm as most... more

It has only few rooms, every one of them with great design. They will surprise you by letting in you room every nigth a chocolate for each and the weather... more

We had a great experience at Vain. The staff was great -- very nice and incredibly helpful (we used them constantly for recommendations, directions, reservations, etc). We stayed in a "V" level room, which was the biggest. While our room was modern and comfortable, it was not especially large (though we got the sense that most boutique hotels in Palermo... more

Stayed at VAIN in the week of Thanksgiving, primarily because we wanted to stay in Palermo and the other top boutique hotels I was looking at were fully booked. Based on positive reviews from this site, decided to give it a shot, and went for the "Junior A" suite; called the hotel directly to make sure we got a room... more

My wife and I stayed here during the first week of 2008 and had a great experience. The staff was so helpful with planning a tango show, golfing at the city golf, going to an estancia, and arranging a half day at the spa. The staff sincerely seems glad to help...its not like they are just looking for a tip.... more
