The Social Hub Bologna

The hostel is one of these modern chain hostels/hotels, very nice and clean. Is huge! Room size and facilities were good, as were the common areas. The pool is essential, especially during summer. Although it's a bit small for the hotel's size, it's okay. Towels are provided, and ppl are nice. The bar is OK, but breakfast is a bit expensive.

This hotel is exceptional. Perfect location right next to the train station. Rooms are very spacious, beds are amazing, so big and comfy, great black out blinds to ensure a good nights sleep. We were on the 3rd floor and found it very quiet. Loved the layout of the building with the social areas. Pool was a bonus, especially as incredibly hot during our stay. Bar and restaurant on site good, didn't really sample the food, cocktails amazing and very strong. Staff were all lovely and very helpful. Will definitely stay here again!

Overall, a very good option for Bologna. It is a bit away from the city center (about 25 minutes walking), but in a good location. The hotel offers very nice communal areas, with working tables, nice garden, a pool and a bar/restaurant. The wifi was excellent, very fast and reliable. Rooms were cleaned every day. Breakfast was excellent, all options very tasty and high quality.

Our room was very clean, spacious, cool (great AC) and quiet. The bathroom was very nice and spacious as well. We had a small issue with the drain stopper in the sink but after we let someone know, it was fixed that same afternoon. The pool was lovely and clean. On some days it was a bit crowded, but there was always room for everyone. A cool haven during the 35+ degree heat of a Bologna summer. The quality of the food in the restaurant was great, the cocktails at the bar were even better. Food and drinks are maybe a tad expensive but always very tasty. All dishes were available as take-away, if you preferred to eat in the outer courtyard. The same goes for drinks at the bar outside: stylish plastic alternative glassware was provided for those who wanted to sip their cocktail around the swimming pool. The overall atmosphere was interesting. Expect a young, modern and vibrant place. The diversity of guests was something we didn't expect, but it was quite refreshing. Some were working in one of the many coworking spaces, others were working out in the (impressive) gym, and of course there were loads of people on vacation like us. The friendliness and professionalism of the staff was exceptional. We have rarely been treated so well and so friendly. From the hosts at the check-in to the restaurant and bar staff and maintenance - everyone. And not in a fake way. They were genuinely lovely and attentive, and visible enjoyed working together. A delight.

The breakfast was really well assorted, with a fine selection and a beautiful presentation. A bit more attention could have been paid to cleanliness, as some guests were not very considerate. The rooms were spacious, with great beds – minimalist yet designed with a high aesthetic standard. Bathrooms had excellent showers and plenty of space. The air conditioning is quiet – not something you find often, chapeau! Although the area isn’t the quietest corner of Bologna, the rooms are calm and well insulated. Very friendly crew!
