My stay at The Social Hub Rotterdam was quite an adventure. The location was fantastic, close to both the university and the city center. However, I encountered several issues with my room that dampened the experience, such as maintenance problems and an uncomfortable mattress. While the staff were friendly and eager to help, the services promised-like the availability of bikes-left something to be desired.

Overall, I had a good time at The Social Hub Rotterdam with its friendly staff and vibrant atmosphere.

The hotel is located next to a tram station, making it easy to travel around the city. While it's not directly in the central area, it's just a short ride away from major attractions.

While the location was convenient, close to public transport and the university, the service left much to be desired with slow response times and inconsistent housekeeping. I also found the kitchen amenities lacking, which detracted from my overall experience.

Rooms

6.0

My room was quite large and comfortable, featuring a kitchenette, but it didn't come with enough utensils or a coffee machine (seriously, just a simple kettle would have been nice!). However, it felt unfinished and a bit neglected, especially with some spots on the walls and only one electric plug for two people.

Service

The service was rather chaotic. I often found myself frustrated with slow responses, especially when I needed assistance with my kitchen utensils or getting my room cleaned. The reception staff were friendly but overwhelmed, which didn't help much during my stay.

Location

The location suited my needs as it was close to the university and a tram station, though not exactly central to the city's main attractions. It did make it easy for me to navigate around the area and I appreciated nearby amenities like a grocery store.

My stay at The Social Hub Rotterdam had its ups and downs. While the location was fantastic for exploring the city and the facilities offered, I faced some issues with the room's condition and the service provided. Overall, I would rate my experience as fair, but there is certainly room for improvement. 🌆

Rooms

The room was small and dark, not at all like the photos on the website. I expected a larger wardrobe and bathtub, but neither was provided. The lighting was dim, making it uncomfortable to spend time there.

Service

5.0

I experienced difficulty with room service, as it was only performed weekly instead of every two days as I expected. Additionally, I had to repeatedly request basic items like toilet paper and bike lights.
