My experience at The Social Hub Amsterdam was mixed. On the positive side, the location was very convenient with a tram stop right in front, making it easy to explore the city. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, which contributed to a welcoming atmosphere. However, there were a few downsides, such as the lack of kitchenware in my room and some cleanliness issues that left me wanting more.

Rooms

The standard double room I stayed in was clean, but there were some issues. I booked a room with a kitchen, but there were no utensils provided, so I had to ask at reception. Also, the bed felt more like a large single than a proper double (not ideal for couples!).

I had a mixed experience during my stay at The Social Hub Amsterdam West. The hotel boasts a great location just a short walk from the tram and metro, making it easy for me to explore the city. However, the room I initially received was cramped and had some cleanliness issues (like a clogged sink). Overall, the vibrant atmosphere and welcoming staff somewhat balanced the drawbacks I encountered.

The room I stayed in was small and did not match my expectations based on online descriptions. I encountered issues like a clogged sink upon arrival, and the layout of the bed made it awkward for two people to navigate comfortably.
