Staff were welcoming and friendly. The room was modern, clean and a good size with a great bathroom. The gym was well equipped but the pool wasn’t in use during our visit. The hotel is convenient for the train station but maybe 20-30 minutes walk from the main square.

Great Stay!

The Social Hub Bologna is perfectly located—just a short walk from the main train station and easily accessible to the city centre. My room was very comfortable, clean, and thoughtfully designed, with plenty of storage and hanging space. I especially appreciated the in-room amenities like the Nespresso machine and complimentary water, which added a nice touch. The overall complex is quite large, with co-working spaces and offices. A great stay and would recommend!

Great location for taking the Marconi express

Great location if u taking a flight since the express train to the airport is just a couple blocks away. Otherwise seemed like a clean and new facility. Great service at the reception.
Mats, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

It was alow key relaxing place, plus I did my laundry on site. I came to Bolonga because I read that it had great food, but I was tired after each day of walking seeing the sites that I endedup eating at the hotel. I could wear anything and relax and the was ok. The staff is so friendly and helpful...thank you!! The room was very clean and well equiped.

Callum, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

The Social Hub has the capacity to be a very good hotel however the lack of management of very rowdy young people running riot over the hotel was hugely disappointing after spending thousands of pounds on trees rooms for our family. This would be very easily fixed with better management for example the students are allowed to cook their own food / bring pizza and beer into the hotel - all great - if they were not allowed to ‘trash’ all the public areas for other guests in the process. The lack of supervision of the young folk in the pool means they also jump in and generally make it very unenjoyable for others too.
Michael, 9-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I was very pleasantly surprised by this hotel. I booked a simple economy room for a layover in Bologna and didn’t expect much, but it exceeded all my expectations. I was initially a bit anxious about booking a twin room since I usually struggle to sleep on small beds, but this one was surprisingly spacious and very comfortable. I’m not sure if I just got lucky with the size of the room, but it felt huge for a solo stay — with a separate wardrobe area, plenty of floor space, and a large bathroom complete with a bidet and shower. One of the biggest surprises was the air conditioning — fully functioning and strong, which I honestly didn’t expect based on past experiences with Italian hotels. The hotel also has a restaurant, bar, gym (on the smaller side and gets crowded), and a pool (also small and fills up fast). One suggestion to management: expand the pool area. There’s a lot of unused space that could easily fit more loungers instead of just tables and chairs. Right now, if you don’t get there early, you likely won’t get a spot. Overall, it was a great experience and I would absolutely recommend it. I also tried the breakfast — priced at €18. While that felt steep considering the room was around €80, the quality was good and the variety was impressive.

Highly recommended

Very nice stay. Plus for the new gym, the outdoor courtyard where we sat in the evening, laundromat (free of charge), extremely comfortable beds with duvet covers (not very common otherwise in Italy), vibrant energy, pleasant and service minded staff, lots of room to socialize or work. In our room there was a partition between the single beds that I hadn’t seen in the pictures beforehand but it was OK for a short stay. One of the bed lamps was broken when we arrived but it was promptly fixed the next morning. Extra pillows delivered within minutes on request. Close to central station and airport train. Sustainability including waste sorting stations.

Interesting Hotel concept

This Hotel is amazing courtyard to chill free washers dryers concept different than any we've seen. Only negative is I don't think they have many tourists as the Reception staff was not clear about directiions & major bus ticket problems & do it cost us a fine if 270 Euros because u have to use 2 credit cards for 2 people even if husband and wife & the bus kiosk on bus didn't work. Making this crystal clear is important.. If I were Hotel Industry ceis in Balonga I'd put pressure or a Lawyer on them to get a System that works & makes sense. Only 1 Reception person really helped us w facts maps etc & that is Lucia she was Great. Others vague & if no interest to them. Thanks Rob & Terrie

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
