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

Like a backpackers

A very busy, noisy low end hotel. Basic room. Not very clean in the corridor. Think we picked the wrong place for us. Better for young people who like a nightclub.

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.
