How to Find the Right Coworking Space for You

The demand for coworking spaces continues to grow – and for good reason: flexibility, networking, inspiration, and professional work environments make coworking the perfect alternative to home offices or traditional office spaces. But with so many options available, the question quickly arises: Which coworking space is right for me?

‍
We’ll walk you through the key steps to help you find the perfect match.

1. Know Your Needs

Before choosing a space, get clear on what you actually need:

• How often do you need a workspace?
  Daily, occasionally, or completely flexible?
• How much privacy do you want?
  Is a hot desk enough, or do you need a fixed desk or even a private office?
• What kind of equipment matters to you?
  Ergonomic chairs? Large screens? Phone booths? Meeting rooms?
• How important is community to you?
  Are you looking for networking and exchange – or peace and quiet to focus?

2. Location & Accessibility

Even the nicest space won’t help if it’s hard to reach. Check for:

• Proximity to your home, clients, or key areas
• Access to public transport
• Parking or bike storage options
• Nearby infrastructure (cafés, supermarkets, gyms, etc.)

Tip: In Berlin, you’ll find creative coworking spaces in districts like Schöneberg, Kreuzberg, and Mitte.

3. Atmosphere & Design

Every coworking space has its own vibe – make sure it suits you:

• Is it quiet, creative, corporate, or community-driven?
• What’s the interior like – modern, minimal, cozy, industrial?
• Do you feel comfortable and inspired?

Best advice: visit, test, and feel it out.
Most spaces offer free trial days or flexible test options.

4. Community & Events

One of the biggest perks of coworking is the people. Ask yourself:

• Are there regular events, breakfasts, or workshops?
• Is there a way to connect with others (Slack, WhatsApp, shared lunch)?
• Who works there – freelancers, startups, remote teams?

Depending on whether you're looking to network or concentrate, choose a space that offers the right balance of community.

5. Services & Extras

Great service makes all the difference. Look out for:

• Wi-Fi & tech: Fast, secure, reliable
• Meeting rooms: Easy to book and well-equipped
• Kitchen access: Coffee, tea, snacks, shared lunch spaces
• On-site support: A team available for questions and assistance

Extras like printers, events, fitness options, or local discounts are also a plus.

6. Pricing & Flexibility

Coworking doesn’t have to be expensive – but it should match your budget and lifestyle.

• Are there different plans (Flex Desk, Fix Desk, Mini Flex)?
• What are the contract terms – monthly, long-term, day pass?
• Are there discounts for longer commitments or teams?

Transparent pricing and flexible models are signs of a professional operator.

Conclusion: Find a Space That Fits You

The right coworking space is more than just a desk – it’s your second home. Take your time, compare options, test the atmosphere, and trust your gut feeling.
