The Social Hub Groningen

The location is unbeatable: just steps from the canal (the Gracht), the city centre, and the beautiful Noorderplantsoen (park), which is perfect for walks or just relaxing. Although you're right in the middle of everything, it has a peaceful and calm vibe. The perfect balance! The atmosphere is amazing, with a great mix of people: Young travellers, older guests, couples, solo adventurers and even families. Everyone feels welcome, creating a really warm and open energy throughout. The shared spaces were an added bonus: video games? Why not! Table tennis? Yes, please! Coworking space? Super helpful!

The Social Hub was a very great surprise for us. We loved staying there as it has a very cool philosophy and there's plenty of things to do. It was also located in a nice area and you have a bus stop and a few cafes very close by. The rooms were surprisingly quiet too.

We had a wonderful stay at this hotel. Upon arrival, our first room had a window that wouldn’t open, but the staff quickly resolved this by moving us to an even nicer room – a great start to our stay. The breakfast was impressive, offering a wide range of high-quality options, like a classic continental spread. The location is fantastic, within easy walking distance to all the main attractions. For the price, it was more luxurious than we expected. Highly recommended!

We are regular visitors to Groningen because of family reasons and the hotel is convenient for both city trippers and if you have people in the vicinity. A good place amongst the quite limited choices close to city centre. With students located at the same place, the common area in the lobby has a nice vibe.

When I was a student at Groningen, this place was on my wishlist. I had visited the restaurant/café back then, but it wasn't until years later, during my recent stay, that I got to see the rooms. The room was spacious, clean, and comfortable, equipped with a Nespresso machine and a variety of coffee capsules. The reception staff were all very friendly, and we even enjoyed a complimentary laundry service. Boterdiep's location is very central, perfect for exploring Groningen, which is a small city. We loved walking around the hotel. Everything exceeded my expectations. If I ever return, I would love to stay there again.
