Despite of my high age ;), I like the concept of the Social Hub very much, and I now plan to visit a few more destinations in other towns. The way to our hotel room was a bit of a maze, but we took it as a challenge. Room was really large and beds very comfy.

The place is near the tram. The room is huge and there’s kitchen with microwave and water boiler and even a coffee maker. Will stay again next time in different cities. We tried the one in Amsterdam too and it was equally great!

The hotel fully was in accordance to my expectations considering the price. The breakfast buffet had enough variety of choices. The only problem was the hotel supplements such as shampoo, handsoap were missing

This is an upscale dormitory rather than a hotel. Lots of students who make use of rooms with kitchenette. Climate control in a large part of the hotel was down when I visited, so felt lucky to persuade an inexperienced receptionist to give me another room. The bed was comfortable but the room was not clean, with plenty of hair in the shower and dust on shelves. Plenty of social activities on the ground floor. Useful breakfast. Parking opportunities next to the hotel.

For the price, the room could have had two sockets near the bed. One of them appeared to be broken. The light switches for the main lighting was far from the bed. The design was a mess. The view was very nice. The breakfast was good, but I had to leave early on my final day because I had to catch a plane. And there was no provision for that possibility. Over the last 15 years, the price for this place has been inflated. Yet, the hotel keeps marketing itself as a kind of enlightened place. That is weird.

There was nothing bad about the hotel. Everything was very reachable via bycicle, the hotel staff was pretty nice and the lobby area was filled with workspace and fun activities that also allowed connecting with new people. We definitely recommend it for younger people. Only the walls seemed to be quite thin so we could hear some of the neighbors noise

Hip hop hub
Came for the jazz festival and the hub was a convenient and affordable option. Friendly helpful staff, decent food, close to other bars and eateries and tram stops. There was no hip hop. I just like alliteration.

The room was far from as colorful and fun as the pictures online show: ambiance-wise it was a clean and cold room. This was a dissapointment, since I booked the room for the nice ambiance.
Also, the room was smelly and not clean. Black mold on the shower head, lime scale and hairs that were not mine.

Great location, large room and social hub.
Spacious room and very well located next to a tram stop and some places to eat opposite too.
The social hub, had plenty of social areas such as a nice bar and games space.
The lift was slow and lights flickering and the room itself was great condition however some attention to carpet stains and curtain stains and some minor repairs to the corner of the wall.
Otherwise the room was a delight, great condition bathroom looked recently refurbished. The bed was huge. Quiet and well equipped with coffee machine, fridge, microwave, cooker, safe and a desk with plenty of shelving.
The staff were welcoming and friendly throughout.
Just 3 stops on tram from Rotterdam Blaak which was able to take us into Amsterdam Zuid to continue our trip but also goes to the airport. The team also went to Rotterdam central where a train to Amsterdam Central can be caught.
Lots to do in Rotterdam! We loved the zoo!

I arrived late, under the weather and tired. I walked in. I saw a reception area that looked like ... Gaza. The lady at the front desk was very nice, but this was not enough to make up for the shock of the reception area's condition. In comparison to similar properties in other countries (e.g. Singapore) the first impression was a mere disappointment. However, my room was large, clean, internet was problem-free, and dorm's public areas also in good condition. The room was very dark and when I asked for an extra desk lamp there was none to give me. In retrospect, for the same money I could have booked a proper hotel room. These types of places make sense for longer stays (week ).
