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.

Not what we expected

The photos on your website made The Social Hub look like a cool, funky place to hang out … but we didn’t realize that it is actually student housing as well. We and our friends are “young” 60-somethings, but we felt about as out of place as possible. In addition, they were hosting a mental health event that took over all of the public areas and caused the restaurant to be closed (they offered takeout, but we would have had to sit on our beds to eat). The entire bar/lounge area was unavailable as well, so we headed out on foot in the dark, ate at a terrible restaurant, and hung out by ourselves in our rooms. Had we known about the event in advance, we definitely would have booked elsewhere.

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.
