Can I Just Move In Already?

I flipping love this place. The Social Hub is everything I never knew I needed in a stay—sustainability, community, and comfort, all in one incredibly well-thought-out space. Let’s start with the bed—oh my God, the most comfortable thing ever, with so many pillows to curl up in. The room temperature was spot on, and when I turned the lights off, it was pitch black, which made for the best sleep ever. I also loved all the thoughtful details, like the water tracker in the shower, the sustainable toilet paper, and even the condoms in the room (nice touch!). But what truly sets The Social Hub apart is the community focus. As a solo traveler, I really appreciate places where you can meet people outside of the usual drinking culture. There were so many cool events and opportunities to connect with others in a meaningful way. I just wish I had known about them in advance so I could have planned to attend! The staff were beyond lovely—friendly, welcoming, and just radiating good vibes. The location was perfect, super close to the train station, and I felt safe walking back at night. Only tiny bit of feedback? I really wanted to swim, and I wish I’d been told in advance that the pool wasn’t open. Also, can we please get more Social Hubs in other cities? Because I would absolutely stay again in a heartbeat. This place is just so my vibe—a perfect mix of sustainability, comfort, and social connection. If you’re even thinking about booking, just do it. You won’t regret it.

We loved the Social Hub in Bologna! The staff is very kind and its very close to the station, so it was easy for us to take day trips around the surrounding area. I could stay longer. It is also a student accommodation, but since we were on the third floor, we didn’t really hear students

This was not quite what was expected, and we were not the demographic usually targeted. The room was basic and clean. The laundry was very welcomed. Please do not stay here on a Saturday if you need to go to sleep early. The property hosted a big, loud event, with music thumping through the rooms until 11:30. Hotel guests seem to be a secondary consideration here. The passageways smelt manky, and the carpeting and floors needed a thorough vacuum. Dust and gunk everywhere.

Emily

Disliked: Room comfort

Good vibes, bad sleep

The hotel was functional - there was a bed, a toilet, a Nespresso machine. The room had a minimalistic aesthetic but really it is enough for a city break. The breakfast was plentiful and good enough, and the courtyard was an ideal place to have an evening drink. The big thing that let this hotel down, though, was the excessive amount of noise that meant sleeping was near impossible for a light sleeper like me. The plumbing was loud all night, people would be intermittently throwing glass in the bin (yes - all night long) and other hotel guests were loud slamming doors in the early hours of the morning. Overall it was fine, but I left exhausted from lack of sleep. But I guess you can't have it all! The location is good but be prepared to do a LOT of steps. It's about 2.5km into the centre of town through the train station so that's 5km of walking just into town and back.
