10/10 Excellent
"We’ve never stayed at a Social Hub before and enjoyed the entire vibe. The reception area was great and very informal. Loved our room and the pool area was spectacular. Would definitely return and can’t wait to try this hotel in another city! Live music and dancing in the pool area one night. Very ‘social’ place Close to train station and very reasonable price. We could easily walk to the city center and we are both in our mid 60’s. Read their story provided in a book in the room and you will be impressed. Thanks for a great visit to Bologna."

"Je trouve cette situation tout à fait anormale. Lors de ma réservation, il m’a été confirmé que le stationnement était gratuit et que des places gratuites étaient disponibles pour les clients de l’hôtel. Or, à mon arrivée, on m’a demandé de payer le stationnement. Si le stationnement était annoncé comme gratuit et qu’il m’a été confirmé comme tel, je ne comprends pas pourquoi des frais m’ont été facturés. Je vous demande donc de bien vouloir retirer ces frais ou, s’ils ont déjà été payés, de me les rembourser. Je vous remercie de corriger cette situation."
