Tuve una experiencia horrible. Al llegar encontré un trapo de limpieza dentro de la pileta del baño y los chocolates de la habitación estaban vencidos, me di cuenta después de probarlos, ya que tenían un sabor desagradable. Además, llegué de noche y, a pesar de haber informado previamente mi horario de llegada, tuve que esperar más de 20 minutos para que me abrieran.
Los ruidos y el movimiento de sillas de otras habitaciones se escuchan constantemente, y el desayuno es de muy baja calidad.

En general, una estadía muy decepcionante.

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.

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

The property wasn’t as charming as it seemed online. The room only had an internal window, so there was very limited light, it felt like it could benefit from some refurbishment, the shower was tiny, the pillows were hard... All in all, disappointing given the reviews.

Also, I arrived in the evening after a very long flight. The reception staff knew I was going upstairs to sleep and would likely not go out until the morning. They still send a staff member to come into my room without knocking, with the door locked, to put some chocolates on the table. I was almost asleep and I heard someone enter the room, which was quite a shock. I got up and saw it was a staff member, who said she was just there for some chocolates. I then called reception to ask them to make sure no one else came in while I was in there. They didn’t seem to really understand how problematic it was. I am a single female traveller, and after that I didn’t feel safe in the room so I put a chair behind the door to go to sleep. It completely violated a sense of privacy and safety. I’ve never stayed anywhere in my life where staff haven’t knocked first.

Other than that, the staff were generally friendly and helpful, and the breakfast was good. I’m glad I only stayed a night, I wouldn’t choose it again.

All hail Vain!

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.

Boutique Hotel - try it!

We were welcomed on arrival and given a voucher for a free drink each. Our room was on the 2nd floor and the guy on reception carried our bags up the stairs as were located on a mezzanine between the lift floors. Breakfast was excellent, fresh orange juice, bread, croissant and jams and you can choose from the menu if you want bacon, eggs etc. Free bottled water was provided daily. All the staff were very friendly and helpful, arranging a cab for our return to the Airport. Would recommend the hotel, other reviews say it needs refreshing but that is part of its charm - it is certainly not run down and even has electronic access to the front door. Good location too, walking distance to Subte.

To say my room was small with no exterior windows may not sound appealing at first.

Echoing some of the other reviews - this is a nice place in a good location but needs updating and a freshen-up. Amending little things like having two chairs on the balcony (and with seat cushions) would make an impact and getting rid of the chipped ikea furniture. New towels and a lick of paint also needed.
Staff are really helpful and friendly and you are close to Palermo and it’s great bars and restaurants.

Accommodations were excellent, and the areas where some minor improvements were needed such as shower floor, the property owner and staff were more than happy to take care of in no time. Which brings us to the best part of Vain Boutique Hotel. The property owner and his staff were simply amazing.
