University accommodation

Brought my daughter to study at Groningen, she’s staying for the year at the social Hub. The hotel is Fantastic, clean and the staff are polite and can’t do enough for you. My daughter feels safe and is very happy to have chosen to stay here. Customer satisfaction is their major priority, well done to them all and keep up the good work.

First time in Holland.

Stay was excellent warm friendly welcome rooms clean and very comfortable. Spent a few days exploring the city. Good restaurants and bars plenty of shopping. Festival was ongoing so a great buzz around the city. Next time I'll hire a bike as it looks lots of fun whizzing around..

10/10 Exceptional

This was a great hotel with a hub vibe. The rooms were clean and quiet, with sufficient room. The only let down is that the shower leaks into the main bathroom, flooding the bathroom floor. The social areas are great, and nice to sit downstairs to relax outside of the room. The gym was an added bonus.

Definitely a good choice in Groningen

Excellent choice and interesting concept just over canal from centrum. Well thought out. Excellentb breakfast buffet the day we ate in. Originally geared for students but now has guests of all ages. Nothing student or hostel about the faccilities or staff. Good wifi. Good mattresses. AC, which is only helpful in a brief timeframe this far north but we appreciated having it that stay. The rooms have excellent sound proofing.

2/10 Poor

Rundown and disgusting

I stayed at The Social Hub for one night and it was a nightmare from beginning to end and ruined my stay in Groningen. The first room was beat-up with stains all over the wall, the carpet was shabby and the furniture had dents everywhere. But the worst thing was how dirty everything in this room was. All the surfaces were dusty and/or full of fingerprints and/or full of stains, the sink in the kitchen was covered in limescale. The worst was the bathroom – limescale and all kinds of other dirt in- and outside of the shower. Below the toilet there was a big blob of a white substance, which I hope was body cream. Naturally I asked for a different room. The new room was not much better, which made me realize that the lack of cleanliness is a bigger, structural problem at this ‘hotel’. Again, there were thick patches of limescale in the bathroom; dust, fingerprints and splashes of dried liquids everywhere in the room – on the desk, the curtains, the TV screen, etc. Other issues: - The mattress was old, sagging and was also slanted to one side - which means: no sleep - The temperature control in the room was either broken or disabled - There was no hairdryer in the bathroom, even though it was listed in the room amenities All of this makes me wonder – who is in charge of this place? These are not minor issues - the dirt, the worn-out mattresses, the lack of maintenance. Is this a conscious decision by The Social Hub to not care about guests' experiences and basic needs?

Bad AC - and they knew it. The Social Hub is a hopping place. The entree looks very ‘active’ and all the different places where you can sit and work or meet are great. The check-in was very pleasant and quick. The elevator was very slow. I was surprised there were not more elevators for the amount of people and rooms. There were stairs that I did take coming down from the 4th floor but that was not trivial, there was a certain route to be followed. The room was ok. I went to the room pretty late (I came from visiting at the hospital) and was tired and turned the lights and ac on with the room key in the slot. After an hour of mediocre sleep I woke up bathing in sweat. The room was really warm. The lowest the AC could be set to was 18C - in my recollection that should be colder but I was extremely tired. I tried opening the window for cooler air but that only worked if I kept the curtains open. The bright lights shining into my room were not helping my sleep either. By 2am I decided that the AC was not working correctly, the window and curtains open was not working either but what could be done in the night. I am in my pjs and so tired. I muddle through but it was not very pleasant. The next morning I walk by the reception to tell them about the AC and the response was: “Oh I am sorry, yes we knew the AC’s were a bit finicky but thought we had it fixed” So sorry, have a nice day. Do I want to stay here again? Not really.

Bra läge, relativt ny byggnad. Tysta och bra rum.Modernt med ungdomlig puls. Gym och nära stort och modernt parkeringsgarage. Trevligt rent generellt.

6/10 Good

Esperienza breve

Esperienza tutto sommato positiva, stanza silenziosa, nota dolente i cuscini quadrati e rigidi, inadatti a chi soffre di cervicale. Un phon sarebbe stato gradito. Ottimo il profumo dei prodotti da toilette.

Zu klein

Das Zimmer war super klein, daher ungemütlich, ein Bad wie auf einem Boot, 1 min geduscht, alles nass. Pures Chaos beim Frühstück, keine Teller, Tassen mehr und es wurden einige Lebensmittel in der halben Stunde wo wir frühstücken waren, nicht mehr aufgefüllt, obwohl das Frühstück noch 1,5h ging. Leider werden wir als Paar dieses Hotel so nicht mehr nutzen.

Cercano al centro, alejado de la estación central

Ubicado entre la zona céntrica y una más residencial, es un lugar perfecto para visitar Groningen, sobre todo en bicicleta ya que no está cerca de la estación central. Se intuye que la intención del establecimiento es que los visitantes se mezclen con los locales en espacios creados para ello tales como salas de juegos, reuniones y gimnasio, aunque sinceramente no vi que funcionase, tal vez debido a la temporada estival. La habitación era muy agradable, moderna, con ventanas grandes que te conectan con la calle.
