We stayed for two nights at this property and it is very close to the train station but a slightly longer walk to the town cente (around 30min). The room is modest, but has everything you need for a short stay. The in house restaurant was excellent. The hotel is packed with amenities including chill out areas, a great gym, and pool. Would stay here again next time we are in Bologna.

The hotel is conveniently near the train station, and there are a couple of pizza joints within walking distance.

Clean and modern room, due to high ceilings the air con wasn’t super great during the heat wave. Has set limits. Staff super helpful with calling cabs and directions etc. super close to train station and 10 drive to city center for shops, restaurants etc. Pool very busy so didn’t even try to use as it was pretty small

Overall, we had a very pleasant stay at this hotel, especially as we visited for our honeymoon.

The hotel itself was lovely, and the staff made our stay feel special. We received a thoughtful card, a small gift, and complimentary drinks, which we really appreciated. The room was also very comfortable, with high ceilings that made it feel spacious and relaxing. Housekeeping was excellent and the room was cleaned very well every day. The amenities, especially the shampoo and bathroom products, had a very nice scent and made the stay feel more comfortable.

The main downside for us was the location. It takes around 25 to 30 minutes to walk to the main sightseeing areas, which was quite tiring in the summer heat. Even using the bus still involved a fair amount of walking, so going back to the hotel during the day was not very convenient. We also arrived late at night, and because the underground route at the station was closed, we had to take a longer detour from the bus stop to the hotel, which made the arrival more difficult than expected.

The pool area looked nice and relaxing, but it was quite busy with many people around and in the pool, so we personally decided not to use it. In July, the heat also made it less appealing for us to spend time there.

Overall, the hotel experience itself was very good, with thoughtful service, a comfortable room, and excellent housekeeping. However, the location was less convenient than we expected, especially in hot weather.

A few minute walk from the train station this hotel has all that you would need. My mother and I stayed and opted for a two twin room.

I used the fitness facilities, although a small space it had free weights, a rack, cable machines, cardio equipment, and more. There was a lovely looking pool as well. We had the buffet breakfast which was plentiful. Loads of healthy options. We would stay again! Staff were polite and eager to assist.

Not for travelers over 50! It's just not up to adult standards. It caters to the young. The rooms are like dormitories! Just warning you that you may encounter; no towels in your bathroom, (the toilet is on one side of the room and the shower is on the other side of the room), doorknobs falling off, no one to answer the phone when you call downstairs, etc. Oh, and they don't take cash anywhere in the hotel so you have to pay credit card fees when your next statement arrives. Book somewhere closer to the center of the city as it is a 30 minute walk or a $14 euro taxi from this hotel.

Struttura eccellente. Sono stato benissimo durante il mio soggiorno di lavoro. Ho apprezzato molto la colazione (di gran lunga fra le migliori mai provate per qualità e varietà), e la palestra ben fornita aperta h24. La posizione è ottima, a pochi passi dalla metro. Unica pecca gli addetti alle pulizie, non è bello trovare una chiazza di sangue sul cuscino appena arrivato, bisogna richiedere una maggiore attenzione a questi dettagli. Lo staff invece è sempre disponibile e ha subito risolto l’inconveniente, per questo non mi sento di far pesare particolarmente questo dettaglio su quella che è stata l’esperienza a 360 gradi, ma andava comunque menzionato per mantenere alta la qualità e l’asticella dell’attenzione da parte del personale.

Hotel facilities were good but the rooms and in particular the housekeeping were very poor. Stains on the walls, dust on the shelving. We stayed 5 nights, some time we had towels, some days we didn’t. No replacement coffee pods or water. Bathroom door hinge was broken.
Also if you are booking two rooms with single beds and 1 adult and 1 child in each, do you really think it’s appropriate to leave a welcome condom on each bedside table?

We really enjoyed our stay at The Social Hub Bologna. The air conditioning was a welcome relief in the summer heat (37c) and the hotel offers a great range of facilities—access to a pool, table tennis, and a well-equipped gym added a playful and active vibe to the experience.

One standout moment was the staff’s kindness when we needed to use the washing and drying facilities before leaving. Instead of making us download the app, they helped us directly, which made things so much easier and showed genuine hospitality.

The atmosphere is youthful and energetic, but still quiet enough to relax. A great base for exploring Bologna with thoughtful touches that made our stay smooth and enjoyable.

There’s also a fantastic coffee shop nearby—Doppio Civico —with excellent coffee and croissants that made our mornings and right opposite the hotel, we found a really good pizza place. Would deffo stay again

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.

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.
