Vain Boutique Hotel - Buenos Aires

Fun neighborhood for restaurant, street festivals and shopping. The service was very helpful, hotel pretty - breakfast was very delicious - and setting very comfortable. Upstairs a deck and sitting room - very lovely and relaxing.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

I loved my stay here. My thoughts are that the management here must be really great. All of the staff really seemed to be happy working there. From check-in to check-out, everyone I talked to was really pleasant and helpful. Staff were eager to help me with everything from arranging a massage in-room, to getting a bottle of wine. Especially enjoyed […] the morning breakfast, the friendliness of the waitress, and that she remembered my order every morning. The ONLY unfortunate thing about this stay, was that my room was on the first floor, and the rooms face a central courtyard. (The hotel gladly offered to upgrade me for more money, but I was on a budget). This made for a rather dark room, so if like me, you like natural light to wake up, I suggest you pay for the higher up rooms, or ones that face the outside. There's also a lovely roofdeck to escape to for chilling out. Location is great, close to the "Plaza Italia" subway stop, on a beautiful tree lined street near many restaurants. Read more

Just returned from a 3-night, post-cruise stay at the Vain. We found it to be just as advertised, very clean, comfortable room, helpful and friendly staff. Our only complaint would be about the bathroom vanity lighting. It is all from overhead and thus provides dismal illumination for shaving or putting on makeup. Despite this, we'd definitely stay […] here again. Read more

the best hotel in the best neighborhood in buenos aires!

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Perfect. When we got there we asked for a larger room as we had a very cheap rate and they obliged for an additional charge which was very fair. I would recommend highly and will stay here again . Great restaurants and best small (locals go) Argentine folk music venue/restaurant are in the neighborhood, as well as boutiques and tree lined streets. Near […] lovely parks and train to anywhere. Taxis plentiful if needed. Wonderful! Read more

Breakfast is included and it is wonderful - full cooked breakfast, with fruit. Staff are very friendly and helpful, made restaurant recommendations and reservations, gave helpful directions and advice on use of subways etc. Only strange thing was the bathroom basin had a very large faucet that came over the basin and made it difficult to wash your face […] or brush your teeth.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Hotel is a few blocks from Palermo soho, great neighborhood for good trendy restaurants and shopping. Also close to zoo, parks and subway station to get around. I liked this staying in this location over Recoletta or Puerto Madero. Best breakfast we had during the trip– great choices and presentation is outstanding. Free welcome drink was also a nice […] touch. Staff was very helpful. Guest lounge on the top floor was a comfortable place to relax if you need to check out before your flight. Room was normal size, shower and bathroom were a little awkward. Bed was comfortable. if your stomach is on a different time zone - be warned that it may be difficult to get dinner before 8pm in this part of the city. Read more

Great little boutique hotel. Not as spacious as a 5 star hotel by any means, but the staff was great, the room was nice (albeit boutique sized), the outdoor space was pleasant, the breakfast was nice. We have stayed there previously and a couple years later we were happy to find that it was even better than we rememberd.

Location is safe, far from downtown (Centro), but there is subway. Also plenty of restaurants, cafes and bars close by. Excellnet staff - friendly and helpful. Great breakfast. It is a "small hotel" - only few rooms overall. Our room was small with low ceilings and tiny shower cabin, so if you are big guy/gal may feel crapmed up. Has it's own charm […] . Read more

The people could not have been friendlier or more helpful. Whenever we had a question, they worked to get us an answer. The welcoming drink was a pleasant surprise as well as the breakfast (I have discovered I love dulce de leche). The only areas I would work on, and this may be due to the heat wave with power outages, would be the AC kept getting turned […] off at night and I had to call the front desk to reset. The other area is that there was the begining of mold near the shower from the moisture. A little KIlz paint would probably solve that problem. Beyond that we totally enjoyed the hotel and the neighborhood. It was quiet and fun to walk around the area. If you go, you will be treated well and enjoy yourself. Read more

Needed some finishing touches for convenience and comfort. Got wet getting to room. Two taxi drivers had trouble finding the hotel.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The clerks & restaurant servers were extremely helpful and spoke very good English. When it rained we had to walk on a wet and slippery area which was a concern. It would have been great to have a hook in the bathroom to hang clothes and a larger trash basket.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

We stayed for 7 nights and we had an amazing experience at Vain hotel. The hotel is located at the heart of Palermo Soho, the best area for shopping and dining. We got upgraded because of a problem with the heating system so we were really lucky, the room was quite spacious and beautifully kept. Breakfast was delicious. Staff was super helpful and friendly. […] I would recommend this hotel to anyone! Read more

Wonderful hotel and staff. Highly recommended. Good location in Palermo: several blocks from the subte and a main road with lots of taxi traffic.

Genuine Expedia guest review

The hotel and the stuff are very nice and welcomming. Service is good and breakfast great.Unfortunately, and this is the only point I have to mention, the rooms are very cold in winter. I asked to increase the room temperature and was told that it is 22 degree celcius (72 Fahrenheit) but my feeling was like 5 degrees celcius (10 degree Fahrenheit)  […] less. Read more

The staff were very helpful and friendly. The common areas were clean and well maintained but the rooms were a little tired and in need of painting. The roof terrace was pleasant and a good place to relax away from the heat of the streets.

The staff goes out of their way to please. Food was super in all ways. About 5 blocks from subway in family type location with very good restrunats within 3 blocks. We will stay there again.

Can't say enough good things about this hotel. The staff are informative, efficient, helpful, friendly. Air conditioning and WiFi worked great. TV had lots of channels. The breakfast (included) was basic but nicely prepared. You could order as many times as you wanted. Very nice common area on the roof available for dining. Also free internet there. […] Hotel is easy walk to subway line, buses, city tour on/off bus, shopping, and good, reasonable restaurants. Read more

Fantastic boutique hotel in a great neighborhood. They offer free breakfast, free internet... but would not recommend for business travelers. I would definitely return for vacation.

Nice Boutique hotel... Cool but not modern at all.

Vain Hotel offered a very special feeling no other hotel could offer. A quiet streeet only blocks from all the exciting activity in Palermo. A staff that perfected the meaning of 'Boutique Hotel'.

From recommendations on specific shopping […] needs to a perfect breakfast, I recommend the Vain Hotel and commend the staff. Read more

I liked everything about this hotel. The staff was superb, the location was great and the rooms were large with jacuzzi tubes. Even breakfast was individually ordered. The went the extra mile in every regard.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

It's a great hotel. My only complaint was the lack of descriptions of the rooms. As far as I could tell, all rooms had identical descriptions aside from the title "junior" "executive" or whatever. Perhaps if they had explained the size difference I would've gone with a bigger room. I'm 6'5" and the junior room had very low ceilings. But, when you're […] not spending much time there, not a big deal. Great place, great staff. Read more

I traveled all over Argentina and must say that Vain's included breakfast has no match. What I loved the most was sitting in their little dinning area and getting offered good coffee at no charge. The hotel service was great as well. The location gives you access to nearby restaurants and bars within a safe area/distance. The only two problems that […] I encountered were internet in the room(all four days) and a bit of mold in the shower. Nothing that a good technician and a lady with some Clorox can't fix. Read more

We loved this hotel. Our room was quiet, and for some reason always smelled really good! The hotel is in a fantastic location - walking distance to everything in Palermo. One of the best features is the upstairs outdoor deck, perfect to recline in the sun and has WiFi reception. The staff are fantastic - so helpful and will make bookings at restaurants, […] do airport transfers, etc. They helped arrange our visit to a tango show at Carlos Gardel that was amazing. Breakfat was included and was plentiful and of a high quality. A huge thumbs-up from these two Aussies! Read more

I mistakenly made a reservation for the wrong nights and after some strong-arming the hotel nicely moved the dates up one day. However, I was given a ground floor room that didn't have a window (the door had a window). It was a very nice room, but everything looked a bit dingy. Also, it sounded like it was right next to all the building equipment because […] there were machines sounds throughout the night. The breakfast was wonderful. The neighborhood was on the outskirts of the main areas. Read more

The staff at the Vain Boutique Hotel was superb. Everyone was exceptionally kind and helpful. The Soho neighborhood is replete with numerous fine restaurants and shops and presented as a reasonable point of departure for other locations around the city. Our room, while somewhat small, was pleasantly appointed with a formidable mattress and nice bath […] including jacuzzi tub, although the TV (which we never turned on) had not been upgraded to flat screen. We did have to open the window above the door to control the heat. All in all a good value for the price. Read more

Great service. Great decor. Friendly staff. Great decor. Great Dean on breakfast. Very well kept and managed boutique hotel. Near everything: shopping mall, subway, zoo, restaurants. Safe area. Worth a visit . Definitely get their all inclusive breakfast menu.

Can't say enough good about this small, boutique hotel located centrally in a great bar/restaurant area. Also very close to the subway line. The staff was very helpful with great recommendations on what to see and do, and providing directions to local spots. Breakfast was phenomenal, order what you want, served with excellent all you can drink coffee. […] We went on a package deal (airfare/hotel) so the cost was reasonable. Enjoyed ourselves immensely. Make sure you eat at La Cabrera down the road. YUM! Read more

The hotel is in a great area, in Palermo Soho, and is surrounded by lovely bars and restaurants but is nice and quiet. The hotel staff were really nice and helpful, we used Vain as our base while we travelled to Patagonia and Uruguay and they looked after half our luggage in between stays at the hotel which was such a godsend. They also organised all […] our transfers to the airport and allowed us a late checkout on our last night there. The only comment I have is that we stayed in their basic rooms the nights when we were just flying in and straight out again and in a senior (most expensive) room for our last 2 nights and the senior room was so much better so definitely worth paying the extra. One of the basic rooms we stayed at was very, very dark and faced reception and the courtyard so we couldn't leave the shutters open to get a bit more light in. Read more
