The hotel was very clean and modern. The staff were very friendly, spoke perfect English and were very efficient. Our room, in the 'I' range, was small with a very dark bathroom, containing a shower, toilet and bidet. The wash-basin was actually in the bedroom itself. The only window was the glass door of the room which led into the... more

Hotel vain is a nice and trendy hotel. The location is excellent in the SOHO style Palermo neighbourhood. Staff is friendly and helpfull and the rooms are stylish decorated. The only negative thing I can think of is the airconditioning system which is centrally controlled and is a bit noisy. emiel and karin from amsterdam more

We had the pleasure of staying at the Vain Boutique Hotel for 2 nights in December 2007. This hotel was an absolute gem! We stayed in one of the V Suites on the top floor, and couldn't have asked for a better experience. The room was clean, beautiful, and relaxing, with several wonderful touches like free welcome drinks, complimentary spa... more

I stayed here one night on my last night in BA and would say that it was pretty nice, but not necessarily worth the $150 I paid. The room was modern enough, but you don't have a thermostat in the room. My room was on the ground floor with no window to the outside. The other "window" looks out into... more

We are in agreement with some other reviewers that the hotel staff is... more

I have stayed at the Vain for a couple of nights the last week of October and I can tell nothing but great things about the Hotel. It was exactly what i was looking for: a small boutique hotel with gorgeous design, good location in the heart of the barrio Palermo, attentive and kind staff. The breakfast was very good,... more

I am a frequent business traveler and have experienced all types of accommodations in many different countries. I would like to think of myself as a discerning customer after spending as many nights away from home as I have. Description To give you a feel for the hotel, Vain is an elegant turn of the century style townhouse converted into... more

Having booked the vain hotel based on a good trip advisor review, I feel compelled to redress the balance a little. We chose Vain because by rating it was a fabulous location, beautiful decor, great breakfast, great service and free internet. All of which turned out to be true, however VAIN is an appropriate name, because this hotel looks great... more

First the pluses. The location was good. A 10 min walk to the action. The sitting room and outdoor area are both lovely as is the dining room downstairs. Now the negatives. Our room had a funny smell probably from the cleaning materials they use. The bedroom, a standard superior was very small. The bathroom was tiny. We were staying... more
