About
V Collection Relais Badoer
V Collection Relais Badoer is a small, design-led hotel on the upper floors of a historic building in the old city of Rome. Guests describe it as feeling like a private fifth-floor apartment, with just six rooms, a roof terrace and a team that looks after you by name.
The address is Largo Arenula 11, described by guests as an ideal base: a short walk from the Tiber River and small Italian restaurants, with the main sights around 20 minutes away on foot. Rooms are individually styled and spotlessly clean, some with balconies and views across the ancient ruins, and breakfast is served on the roof terrace.

In brief
What works, what to weigh
+
Strengths
4 reasons to book- Rooftop setting above Rome's ancient heart — Guests sit in the hot tub or at breakfast looking out over the excavations of the Roman Senate, and describe the roof terrace as brilliant and charming. The view is the first thing they mention.
- Service that guests remember by name — At six rooms, the owner and small team create a genuinely personal atmosphere. Reviews single out Alessandra, Julin and Antonio for helpfulness; one guest called the hospitality 'as good as it gets'.
- Rooms with character, kept immaculately clean — Design-led interiors, balconies, soundproofing and parquet floors add up to rooms guests describe as artistic, comfortable and spotless.
- Breakfast on the terrace — Breakfast is served each morning on the roof, with a wide choice and a style that comes with a smile. For some guests it was the highlight of the day.

Worth weighing
3 to weigh- You are in central Rome, traffic included — One guest put it exactly like that: you are in the middle of Rome, with its traffic and all. It is part of the experience, but the General rating of 8.5 and Comfort rating of 8.4 sit below the highs of Staff and Rooms.
- A narrow arrival and departure window — Check-in is limited to 14:00–18:00 and checkout to 08:00–10:00. The property does list express check-in/out options, but the published hours are strict.
- No pets, and facilities are the weakest category — The lowest guest score is Facilities at 7.5, against 9.1 for rooms and service. This is a hotel to book for the setting and people, not for a long checklist of facilities, and pets are not allowed.

8.6Verified guest“Everything was genuinely good. My room had a great bed, a lovely balcony and a mini bar, and I ate breakfast in the dining area. Thanks to its magnificent location, the hotel was close to restaurants and sights. The stay was entirely pleasant.”
8.6Verified guest“Everything was very good and matched expectations. The hotel was high quality and spotlessly clean, with wonderful breakfasts and an unbeatable location directly across from the ruins. Staff were hugely helpful and made the whole stay agreeable — the property is truly in the heart of the city.”
8.6Verified guest“The service and warmth from Alessandra, Julin and owner Antonio were as good as it gets. Rooms are tastefully, artistically furnished and impeccably clean. This small, charming boutique hotel occupies a historic building in the old city, a short walk from the Tiber and little Italian restaurants. Our balcony overlooked a stunning excavation of the Roman Senate, where Julius Caesar lived and died. We had breakfast on the rooftop garden, and for our anniversary the hotel gave us prosecco and reggiano cheese as we looked out over Rome at night.”
