Located in a century old building with only 15 rooms, the Vain Boutique Hotel played a significant role in the success of my Buenos Aires trip. I'm so glad that I stayed at the Vain Hotel rather than at any of the big chains. The location was great, the service was fantastic, and the value was unmatched. I particularly liked the amenities such as the daily afternoon social, the hot tub on the roof, and the fantastic (and complimentary) made-to-order breakfast. The glass water bottles in each room, cleaned and refilled daily, were a particularly nice touch. The location of this hotels, 3 blocks form the Subte and within walking distance of Palermo's many restaurants, was ideal. We ate in Palermo every night, not out any desire not to travel, but because the best restaurants were there. We got daily activity and restaurant recommendations from the front desk staff. Manque was awesome! Every need was catered to and no request was too small. I find it hard to imagine getting better and more personalized treatment anywhere else.

The hotel had a lot of character and was well run. The people working seemed to care you received great service and were very accommodating when we had to hang out for an evening flight. The location is good and safe. Breakfast was great. I would stay there again.

Excellent hotel but perhaps our balcony needed tidying

Came there and left after about one hour to different hotel even Vain was already paid for. Room was cold and moist (the reason I think is that room on the first floor doesn't have windows and only has small window in the door that goes to backyard with no sunlight). Tried to set thermostat to higher temperature. Didn't work. Went to the front desk and asked how we can turn heat on. The guy said just press up . Ok went to the room and tried that. Didn't work, went back to the front desk, asked again to fix it; guy (Martin) was too busy casually talking to other customers about his trip to London. Said he will reset the system from his desk (reseting his thermostat on the wall). Obviously didn't work. He never even went to check our thermostat (must be long walk of 10 feet from the front desk to our room). Disappointing. We booked different hotel and left Thanks for nothing

We had a wonderful stay at Vain hotel! The location of the hotel is excellent - close to resturants and culture in Palermo - and also close to the metro and buses. The hotel is fairly small, which gives it an intimate and cosy atmosphere. The breakfast was very good. Most of all: the service was great with friendly and welcoming staff who were always happy to help or gice tips and advice!

Hotels.com and the hotel couldn’t accommodate an emergency request I made to cancel the booking a few days in advance. Apparently hotels.com tried multiple times to contact the hotel but never got through to them. Very sad customer experience.

I am so pleased I booked the Vain Hotel in Buenos Aires. The hotel was in an excellent location, walkable to anywhere we wanted to go and when we went farther afield the hotel booked us a taxi or we just took the ‘subte’. All the staff at Vain were excellent, even if they couldn’t speak English we managed to communicate. The breakfast choices are brilliant - you won’t go hungry at this hotel. Our room was so lovely and comfortable. We booked a superior room with a balcony which was quite small but so quaint. My husband and I love to people watch and it was the perfect balcony to do that. Although the hotel is on a ‘semi main road’ we never heard a thing from the traffic at night time. When you take things from the mini bar they are very reasonable prices so don’t worry about taking out that bottle of vino as it’s just a few dollars. If you buy vino from the Bar in the hotel it’s also very reasonable and if you don’t finish it they will keep it for you. The top terrace is comfortable and quiet but could do with a bit of a revamp - perhaps some new chairs that are more comfortable to sit on. I regret not spending time in the hot tub but we were so enamored with Buenos Aires that we didn’t have time. We want to go back to BA again next year to do some more exploring and if we make it we will definitely stay at the Vain. We hail from Ireland but live in Chicago. Thanks Vain staff.
