I had a fantastic stay at the hotel, with exceptional service from the staff who went above and beyond to ensure our comfort. The location is perfect, surrounded by lively restaurants and bars, making it a vibrant spot to explore. The breakfast was delicious and abundant, but the rooms, though comfortable, felt a bit dated and could be quieter. Overall, it was a great experience, and I found it to be good value for the money.

We had a wonderful experience at this boutique hotel during our ten-night stay. The location was perfect for exploring the city, and the staff made us feel very welcome. Our Senior Suite was spacious and equipped with everything we needed. The breakfast was a highlight, served until 11:30 AM, which allowed us to enjoy our mornings at a relaxed pace. On the downside, the noise from the street could be a bit disruptive at times, and some areas seemed to have lost their initial sparkle. Overall, it was a great value for a fantastic trip.

Staying at Vain was an absolute delight. The ambiance is charming with a Parisian feel, and the location in Palermo Soho puts you right in the middle of vibrant restaurants and shops.

My stay at the hotel was fantastic, with exceptionally friendly and attentive staff who truly made the experience memorable. The unique rooms added character to my visit, and the hotel's rooftop space was a delightful spot for relaxation. However, the bathroom setup could use some modernizing, as it lacked privacy. Overall, I felt the hotel provided great value for the price.

Overall, my stay at the hotel was delightful, mainly due to its interesting style, helpful staff, and refreshing amenities like the open-air jacuzzi. The location is fantastic, with plenty of nearby restaurants and attractions. While the breakfast was varied and enjoyable, and the rooms, though charming, could use some minor updates to earn a higher rating. It's a good spot to unwind and explore the local area, but there are a few areas in need of improvement.
