The Social Hub Hotel

I just spent like a week at the Social Hub in Bologna and for sure can recommend it.
For me, preferably walking the cities I visit, the Social Hub is situated at a perfect location. Just behind the train station, and really a stone throw away from the old town. I would vary my walks to the center, like first going to the University of Bologna, etc. From the Social Hub you can really reach anything on foot.
The hotel itself is very welcoming, friendly, and has a very creative, entrepreneurial vibe.
The room is just the perfect, and all is there what is usually needed.
The public areas, including the pool, are very inviting to spend some time at, either to swim, have a coffee, or a chat with a fellow customer.
All in all, kudos to the team from the Social Hun for their friendly and professional manner they manage it all! I’ll be back 😉

Simple but nice place to stay. Beds are comfortable and rooms have what you need. Design is very clean and simple.
Service from the staff is great and they are very welcoming.
The place have some co-working area which looked nice. Almost wanted to work from here…
Also have a free gym.

Can I Just Move In Already? The Social Hub is a Dream!

Oh. My. God. I flipping love this place. I wasn’t entirely sure what to expect when I booked, but now I genuinely wish I could move in. 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 days, 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.

Overall pleasant stay, good rooms and excellent amenities with a lively mix of students, workers and travellers that gave it a proper community hub feel. Right next to the station which is both a plus and a minus, the area has an unflattering reputation and although I never felt unsafe during the day I did take advice not to explore after dark as a solo female traveller.

There were some odd quirks in the room - the shower was pretty lukewarm at highest heat, had a small wardrobe but no drawers which was really annoying, and despite including a kettle and coffee machine only included cups and not mugs.

Food was adequate but nothing special, although I only had a couple of meals and not breakfast. The available events - I enjoyed a cooking class with small (taster size) meal included - are a real bonus of staying here but not always listed properly on the eventbrite.

The room was new, confortable and clean.
The breakfast was good and complete.
The atmosphere is a bit too young, more suitable for students than professionals.

Good location, clean lobby and friendly staff. Self check in is easy and cool.

Absolutely amazing hotel - a clean room, with good choice of coffee capsules, comfortable bed and pillows, good pressure of the hot water. Location is great - 5 minutes from the Marconi Airport Express Station and 7-8 minutes from the city centre. The staff was perfect, smiling and polite! Definitely I will stay again!

The interior design of the room is very modern, it is also clean and spacious.

Beautifully designed hotel in the immediate vicinity of the main railway station. Despite its proximity to the main railway station, the hotel is in a quiet location. With its design, the hotel primarily appeals to young people and people who are young at heart. The staff are very, very friendly and very, very nice. The food and snacks in the hotel's own restaurant are very tasty and you don't have to leave the hotel for a delicious, freshly prepared coffee. In addition to a pool, the hotel offers countless other facilities for sport, games and leisure. The conditions for remote working are perfect. The only criticism: The hotel room is/was very cold/cool designed (Like a youth hostel). But that's also a matter of taste. I would book the hotel again and can recommend it without reservation.

Pretty pricey for a one night stay (close to $150). So 4 stars.
Location is great since it is 5 minutes away from the train station; it was a little confusing navigating so you have to take the underground tunnel, up the stairs, and walk to the right exit.

The room we stayed in had a place to cook. This was basically an apartment. Check in process
Is a little long. Great little place to socialize with others.
