The Social Hub Groningen

We stayed at this hotel and were absolutely delighted! It was one of the best hotel experiences we’ve had in Europe, especially considering the very reasonable accommodation cost. The staff were incredibly friendly, attentive, and professional — from the very first moments, we felt welcomed and cared for. We were especially pleasantly surprised by the small gifts from the hotel, which added a thoughtful and memorable touch to our stay. The room was clean, cozy, and quiet. We recommend booking breakfast in advance: it’s cheaper this way, as the price is higher if paid on the day. We’ll definitely come back here again. Thank you for the excellent service and atmosphere!

Great hotel close to the centre of Groningen. Particularly appreciated the social space and the table tennis tables! Rooms small and comfortable - we took one with a kitchen which was serviceable. Got a box of utensils and dishes from reception, which was OK, but not that flexible in contents. Would definitely stay here again on our next visit to see family.Desk staff were helpful and pleasant - cleaning staff very responsive. Everyone was comfortable speaking English.

I really enjoyed my stay. The room was comfortable, and even when I requested to change rooms, the staff responded immediately and efficiently. A big thank you to the friendly reception team and the entire staff — everyone was welcoming and helpful throughout my stay. The room was always clean, and the bed was very comfortable. Overall, the service matched the price well — great value for the experience.

Rooms had broken AC so it was 25 degrees Celsius at night, had to switch rooms twice due to this, staff acted like we were an inconvenience when asking for the room changes or clean dishes. Nice lobby with ping pong and PS5 but parking is 15 euros each time you enter/exit, central Groningen is about 15-20 minute walk.

I had a wonderful stay at The Social Hub in Groningen! The hotel itself is modern, vibrant, and perfectly located, but what really stood out was the kindness of the staff.||||On my last day, I realized there were no early enough trains to get me to the airport in time for my flight, so I had to take a late train to Amsterdam the night before. When I explained the situation to the front desk, they kindly offered to refund me for that final night—even though it was a last-minute change.||||That kind of flexibility and understanding isn’t something you find everywhere, and it made a big impression. I’ll definitely stay here again next time I’m in Groningen. Highly recommended!

We had a terrible night due to a false fire alarm which took over 15 minutes to reset! Breakfast was great though. Location was good, parking in a public car park next door.

We stayed here for one night and it was quite the disappointment. The handle of our window was without function which resulted in an open window for the night. Also the floor in our room was dirty and surely hasn‘t seen a hoover for days. And did I mentioned the tiny bathroom already? Remember guys, there is a reason when hotels don’t show proper pictures of their bathrooms on their web page. Staff was friendly but not very customer oriented. I would have mentioned the things above during check out, but none of the girls behind the desk cared to ask about our experience. Since there are a lot of other hotels around town we will try a new one the next time.

I haven't been to The Social Hub yet. We have booked the whole academic year for my daughter and paid for it in March 2025 to confirm the place. My daughter needs to enter early and we contacted them 3 weeks ago. They are not allowing us to enter early in her room but they are offering us a room in the hotel side for 1300 euros just for one week. I blame the management for the lack of response and when they do, very delayed answers. It seems if there is space in the hotel, they should offer it at student prices. I hope management can read this and this can be sorted soon and I have better things to write down her in future. So far, extremely disappointed!
