Hôtel was clean and presented in an "industrial chic" style which isn't really our taste but was OK. Bar area was nice and breakfast was brilliant. The hotel is just north of Bologna Centrale station but in an area which didn't feel the safest or cleanest. The walk into the city centre was quite long (15-20mins) and could be navigated by main roads which were better than back streets. The transport was a little limited so despite the distance the walk was the preferred option. Hotel facilities themselves were very good and staff friendly/helpful. Would likely stay at other Social Hub properties depending on the location.

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!

A real shame. The concept is great, and the shared areas cool if perhaps a little too self aware. The rooms, however - which in my mind should be the most important thing about a hotel - are sad. I stayed in a twin and then a double. Climate control didn’t work in one of them. The twin especially depressing with two singles pushed against opposing walls. I guess a black and concrete interior scheme looks cool on a mood board, but in reality in rooms with little light source is super depressing. This felt like a prison in the rooms, not pleasant. And the twin trying to achieve a collegiate dorm feel was just super depressing. Paid a huge sum to stay here during a trade fair, and it wasn’t even close to feeling like it was worth it. A real shame, as apart from the rooms it’s a great hotel.

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.

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
