The Social Hub, previously known as The Student Hotel, is a place where students, travellers, locals, and professionals all come together to live, work, learn and play. Think modern hotel rooms, student accommodation, coworking spaces, restaurants and bars, gyms and vibrant communal spaces, all under one roof. It's more than just a place to sleep - it's a lively hub designed to connect like-minded people and help you make the most of your time in a city.

Your room comes fully furnished with a private bathroom, desk, wardrobe, and Smart TV. Beyond your room, you get access to a fully equipped shared kitchen with a dedicated fridge, cutlery and shelf space, free laundry, a gym that is open 24/7, decked out with Technogym machines and the option to follow gym classes, and quiet study spaces for when you want to work outside of your room. You can also unwind in the play area to have fun with other students. Free bike sharing* is included so you can explore the city like a local, and monthly cleaning and fresh linen are taken care of so you can focus on your experiences. Some locations also have unique facilities like a rooftop, pool, courtyard, or cinema. Check your preferred location for the full details.
