The 12 Best-Rated Coworking Spaces in Singapore
Renting a coworking space has never been easier thanks to the influx of them in recent years.
Being in a coworking space has plenty of advantages, including having a network of potential clients, partners, and supporters for your career or business. Plus, it’s always nice to be in one that’s equipped with the right amenities to aid productivity.
This listicle reviews some of the best coworking spaces in Singapore. But first, let’s look at the costs involved.
The Cost of a Coworking Space
A freelancer’s notion of the ideal workspace for rent might not be the same as a full corporate team’s. Their working needs vary, along with the amenities that can make tasks easier and more convenient.
With that in mind, we researched the national averages of what a workspace for rent would typically offer for both start-ups and freelancers.
The Best-Rated Coworking Spaces in Singapore
To come up with a shortlist of the best coworking space in Singapore, we selected those that meet the following criteria:
1. Arcc Spaces
“Discover office spaces for rent driven by hospitality and design.”
Total Scores
Arcc Spaces on One Marina Boulevard has a breathtaking view of the city. But it doesn’t make it to our coworking spaces listicle just because of the scenery.
Of course, the fact that it’s highly accessible is a bonus, especially since the location is near plenty of MRT and bus stations.
But we appreciate how Arcc Spaces is a hospitality-centric service, which is quite obvious from its hotel-like amenities and gorgeously designed spaces.
We like that there’s an open pass that can be paid for every month, which is especially helpful for freelancers operating on flexible schedules.
There are also flexible leasing terms which are great for different-sized teams and those that only have core members. And the private suites are fully lockable to ensure security and privacy too!
The downside we see so far is that some of the coworking plans like hot desking may have limited vacancies and are subject to availability. This could affect those who need a space ASAP but can’t be assured of one straightaway.
Pros
- Up to 2 months free for private workspaces
- Flexible leasing terms
- Hospitality-centred coworking services and amenities
Cons
- Some spaces are subject to availability
- Reception is closed on weekends
Customer Reviews
Listens to feedback and responds with action for improvement
“A cosy environment with good hospitality from the client experience team. They listen to feedback and respond with action for improvement.” – Robert Kurniadi
Exceptional staff hospitality
“Exceptional staff hospitality with a cosy and conducive environment for work or small meetings. Well-designed shared or private spaces of various sizes available.” – Keith Ng
2. JustCo
“Discover your ideal workspace.”
Total Scores
JustCo has multiple locations (currently at 18!) all over Singapore, so there’s really no reason for it to run out of space for working nomads. It caters to individuals, small teams, and even SMEs or large enterprises with its coworking spaces and plans.
Its membership plans are quite straightforward. The desks and standard office plans come with reasonable price tags, though the enterprise suite understandably requires a quote request, as it’s customisable for bigger teams.
We like that the desk plans come with 24/7 and unlimited monthly usage so they can accommodate unpredictable freelance or self-employed work hours.
However, if you need locker space with your desk plan, you’ll have to call ahead and ask the JustCo workspace for rent near you. Only select locations have them, which is kind of disappointing.
Pros
- Multiple locations all over Singapore
- Private customisable offices
- 24/7 access to desks and offices
Cons
- Lockers are available in selected centres only
- Office is closed on weekends
Customer Reviews
Positive energy and friendly work culture
“Great coworking space in the CBD area, Instagram-worthy corners to provide inspiration! Very productive open spaces with good services by the ops team. There’s definitely positive energy and friendly work culture here. Bonus point – plenty of yummy and affordable food areas around!” – Sheryl Ng
Location is right in the heart of CBD
“One of the best places to work in! Amazing colleagues, the location is smacked right in the heart of CBD, with a gorgeous interior, exciting events and of course not to mention, daily issues of having to decide what to have for lunch! Simply surrounded by affordable AND good food.
JustCo is definitely the place to be!” – Sofy Rahman
3. workbuddy
“Work somewhere new today.”
Total Scores
Workbuddy offers a unique take on coworking. It allows customers a wide variety of possible workspaces with a membership plan that’s both flexible and convenient.
New members can also enjoy a week’s worth of free trial. There are individual and team plans to suit everyone from working moms to groups of up to a hundred members!
This is ideal for those who don’t want to be stuck in one place for meetings and doing tasks. And all of this can be accomplished via workbuddy’s own app, which allows clients to search for and book ideal workspaces in any location they like.
We also appreciate that plans like the LITE membership allow people to try out the system a few times before committing to something more long-term with the company.
Overall, we’re really loving what workbuddy has to offer, except for the fact that it requires a full month of notice before you can cancel your membership.
Pros
- Dozens of island-wide coworking locations
- Affordable plans
- Free 1-week trial
- Has its own app
Cons
- 1 month notice period required for membership cancellation
- Office is closed on weekends
Customer Reviews
Gives team members flexibility and island-wide options
“We like the variety of co-working spaces and now have our favourite spots where we’ll meet up as a larger group. The app’s search & booking functionality is not the best, but it gets the job done. Would recommend to companies who’d like to give their team members flexibility and island-wide options.” – Rachel Leung
Easy to use and most locations are strategic
“Easy to use and most locations are very strategic. I’ve used a few in CBD and Kim Yam road.
Very impressed with this app. Would recommend to all who wants to move around and not just be stuck in one single office.” – Adrian Chan
4. The Workshop
“Redefining inspiration, productivity and collaboration with our workspaces and storage solutions.”
Total Scores
The Workshop is another Singapore coworking solution with multiple locations all over the city. It places special emphasis on creative and professional collaborations among like-minded individuals in a chic, community-hub setup.
Even its coworking packages are creativity-inclined. There are Flexi Desks, Fixed Desks, and Work/Maker Pods with an array of amenities to make work and productivity easy and fun.
The Workshop itself is accessible to members for 24 hours, seven days a week. However, nonmembers and guests will need to make a prior appointment before they can visit the premises.
But we’re glad to know that even nonmembers can book meeting rooms or event venues simply by reserving and paying. This can give potential clients a chance to observe and try the amenities before committing to a full membership.
Still, we’d be happy to see a single-day pass for freelancers or self-employed workers who simply need desk space for those days when they do.
Pros
- 24/7 access for users
- Multiple locations across Singapore
- Nonmembers can book events or meeting rooms
Cons
- Doesn’t offer a single-day pass
- Office is closed on weekends
Customer Reviews
Beats any workspace in town any day
“Highly underrated workspace! It’s convenient (20-30min bus ride from home), quiet and affordable. I started off with a mobile desk last year. Then upgraded to my own private studio. This beats the workspaces in town ANYDAY.” – Willie Keng
Conducive environment, meeting rooms are really big
“I enjoy coming to work every day because of the conducive environment! The aircon is great, the meeting rooms are really big and pretty, and the tenants are really friendly. I just love it here!” – Annie T.
5. The Work Project
“Inspiring co-working spaces created by leading design thinkers.”
Total Scores
The Work Project has a noble mission: to change the way people feel about coming to work. So if you’re one of the many office-goers who dread the 9-to-5 grind, you might like what this coworking space has to offer.
Its plans include a day pass, part-time and full-time hot desks, and private offices. The rates are quite affordable with a day pass starting at just S$50 with great amenities included.
The Work Project has multiple branches across Singapore, including ones on Robinson Road, Capital Tower, and Parkview Square. Full-time members get 24/7 key card access to any of the locations, along with partner discounts and other benefits.
We appreciate the transparent pricing scheme of The Work Project. But it would be nice to have upfront pricing for on-demand services like locker rentals, printing, meeting facilities, and others for those who want to stick to a particular budget.
Pros
- Multiple locations in Singapore
- Affordable rates
- Great membership perks
Cons
- Reception is closed on weekends
- Additional fees for on-demand services
Customer Reviews
The space is beautifully designed to suit working needs
“Best co-working space in Singapore IMO especially @Capitol Tower. Kind and friendly staff all eager to help out with any needs and recommendations. The space is beautifully designed to suit your working needs. The best part? You have an amazing view from the pantry. I really love coming to work because of this amazing co-working space.” – Syahidah Zainudin
The staff were warm, friendly and kind
“We booked a 5-Day Pass at The Work Project @ Capitol Tower. The location was superb because it was a sheltered 5-minute walk from Tanjong Pagar station. The office space was clean. The staff were warm, friendly and kind. They were a great help whenever I wanted anything printed and scanned. We were even invited to their Happy Hour on Friday even though we were already leaving. Kudos to their hospitality.” – Rachel Wong
6. REGUS
“Office space your way”
Total Scores
Regus has the unique distinction of being part of a global business lounge network. So if you’re wondering if membership perks reflect this impressive background, you’d be correct.
For starters, you’ll be getting exclusive benefits from Regus’ lifestyle, business, and health partners. And if you need to travel for work, you can enjoy cushy airport lounge access, also courtesy of the company’s partnerships.
Aside from having multiple branches across Singapore, we love that Regus offers flexible and fully customisable office spaces that are perfect for startups and SMEs.
And we like the options for hotdesking which can go from five days to unlimited access each month.
The only downside we see here involves the prices. For ordinary freelancers and those who are just starting, they might seem a bit steep compared to other coworking spaces.
Pros
- Flexible membership options
- Great membership perks
- Open 24/7
- Multiple locations across Singapore
Cons
- Additional fees for on-demand services
- Prices might be a bit steep for some
Customer Reviews
The spacious common area is full of light
“I’ve tried more than 5 Regus Offices in Singapore and this is clearly the best! The very spacious common area is full of light! Very close to Tanjong Pagar MRT!” – Simone Meregaglia
Ample co-working space, natural lights
“Super love coming here. Love the signature Nespresso, natural lights, ample co-working space, best location!” – Jay Yeo
7. The Great Room
“Coworking inspired by hospitality”
Total Scores
Its grandiose name notwithstanding, The Great Room is best known for its cosiness and how clients feel so much at home while working there. And it goes the extra-thoughtful mile with some of its facilities and amenities too.
We noticed that there’s a nursing room for those with membership plans, which is always welcome in any establishment. Young working moms might have to bring their little ones with them to work, after all.
Complimentary breakfast, free-flowing artisanal coffee, and a turn-down cart for when you’re feeling snacky are available for members. The Great Room wants clients to be inspired towards productivity by providing a comfy place to work, meet, and socialise.
The prices are a bit on the higher side of national averages, with a day pass costing S$70 daily. But given the customizability and amenities (including a Monday breakfast club), The Great Room gets a thumbs-up from us.
Pros
- Multiple locations across Singapore
- Flexible rental packages
- Offers a nursing room for working moms
Cons
- Prices are a bit steep
- Office is closed on weekends
Customer Reviews
Love the energy, the decor, location and especially the brilliant staff
“I am not a huge fan of shared offices, but The Great Room has definitely changed my opinion. I love the energy, the decor, location and especially the brilliant staff (Aakriti and Shermaine) who go above and beyond to help you out.” – Ehtisham Sayed
Makes you feel like you are working from your own couch
“It’s the most amazing place one can work from and call an office. It’s got that 5-star warm chic vibe and furnishings that make you feel like you are working from your own couch but that chic business look gives that business feels and it’s not like other cold clinical working spaces. I love being part of the Great room experience as it’s also the people around..the events and the networking the great room team go to great lengths to give us. It’s modern in its outlook so yoga and Hasiko flow the next time around. Love the team and especially Aakriti who is assigned to me as my relationship manager. The attention to detail and follow-up is beyond compare. Thank you Great Room for the amazing workspace we have.” – Nana Pal
8. The Hive
“Find your perfect workspace.”
Total Scores
If a view of the Marina Bay Sands can do wonders for your productivity, then you must check out The Hive. Though it has multiple branches across Singapore, The Hive Carpenter in particular offers this scenery from its rooftop café.
It offers more than that to members, though. From hot desks to private offices, members can expect top-notch amenities to aid in productivity while keeping their stuff secure and safe.
To encourage diversity, The Hive also offers special rates for start-ups and young entrepreneurs. So if you’re a business person under the age of 23, you’ll be happy to know that you can get special rates from The Hive.
The service rates are fair (starting at just S$30 for a day pass!), but some of them don’t include GST yet. To play it safe, it’s best to reach out to any of The Hive branches to ensure you’re on the same page about pricing.
Pros
- Multiple locations in Singapore
- Offers special rates for start-ups and young entrepreneurs
- Wide variety of packages to choose from
Cons
- Plan rates are exclusive of GST
- Office is closed on weekends
Customer Reviews
Fun people to meet on the rooftop
“Great place to work, fun people to meet on the rooftop. Kudos to Lisa, Yun and Beatrice to make it such a vibrant Coworking space.” – Mica Bertrand
Offered complimentary career/executive coaching
“Great space but what’s even better: friendly staff, awesome events/community, and valuable perks. They offered complimentary career/executive coaching through epicoaching(dot)net and it was so helpful for my career. Ask for Mica. Highly recommended!” – Bryan Chiao
9. Camelot Suites
“Slay & conquer, but coffee first.”
Total Scores
Camelot Suites is a boutique-style coworking space, so it doesn’t have the same kind of square footage that bigger franchises have. It’s therefore not ideal for bigger teams looking for a shared space.
But this little coworking place that could can take pride in its convenient location (just a five-minute drive from CBD) and a mini shopping mall on the lower grounds should you need some retail therapy.
It also offers free-flowing beverages, mail service, utilities, a Modern Deco design, and best of all, 24-hour access.
And one of Camelot Suites’ membership benefits is described as “insanely fast Internet,” and we admit that does have more panache to it than the words “high-speed” or “enterprise-grade.”
However, freelancers looking for a day (or even multiple-day) pass might have to look elsewhere.
Camelot Suites only offers monthly pricing schemes, though its dedicated desks might prove attractive to the entrepreneur who values independence even in a coworking situation.
Pros
- Allows 24-hour access
- Good location that’s close to CBD
- Rates already include utilities
Cons
- No day passes offered
- More of a boutique coworking space
- Not ideal for bigger teams
- Rates are exclusive of GST
Customer Reviews
Great location, very affordable rates
“CamelotSuites, perfect for everyone in need of shared office space. Great Location and very affordable rates for office space in Singapore.” – Svetlana Tan
Very comfortable office
“Great location and very comfortable office!” – Deborah Tan
10. LEVEL3
“Coworking with purpose”
Total Scores
Collaboration goes hand in hand with coworking over at LEVEL3. That’s why it’s big on membership so members can really enjoy the perks and rewards of being one.
Some of the biggest member benefits are the LEVEL3 social and corporate events. These are ideal for start-ups and young entrepreneurs because they allow them to connect with other members and network accordingly.
And if you’re a start-up member, you immediately get a 10 pecent discount on its coworking events and other membership plans. So it’s a good consideration if you’re a budding entrepreneur working with a tight budget in the meantime.
However, the team plans are a bit on the steep side (from S$3,500 to S$4,000), so it might not be ideal for those who are just starting their careers or businesses.
Pros
- 10% discount for start-up members
- Holds regular social and corporate events
- Welcomes start-ups, freelancers, and budding entrepreneurs
Cons
- Team plans are a bit on the steep side
- Office is closed on weekends
Customer Reviews
An environment where startups thrive
“Level 3 has amazing energy and environment where start-ups and social innovation thrives!” – Sazzad Hossein
Conducive environment for meetings and concentration
“LEVEL3 provides an ideal co-working space, with a common area to engage and connect with other entrepreneurs to private rooms that provide a conducive environment for meetings and concentration. It also serves the best coffee by their in-house barista from Curbside Cafe & Wine Bar!” – Roslyn Chua
11. Ezco Workspace
“Affordable, flexible coworking space”
Total Scores
EZCO Workspace wants to offer more than just a space to accomplish the day’s tasks and meet deadlines for its clients. As a result, clients constantly rave about its convenient 24-hour accessibility and the all-inclusive plans it offers.
There’s also free access to the gym, swimming pool, and photocopying, printing, and scanning services for all members! Complimentary tea, coffee, and snacks are also available.
EZCO helpfully provides virtual tours of its spaces so potential clients can see which ones suit their coworking needs. One thing we did notice is that most of the rooms aren’t as spacious as others in this list, though social distancing is still implemented.
We also discovered that storage spaces are only available for those with higher-end plans like the Indigenous and Habitat packages. Perhaps the lack of space is behind this.
Pros
- Free digital marketing service for start-ups
- Offers many plans to choose from
- Unlimited meeting room usage and other office services
- More branch openings underway
Cons
- Rooms aren’t the most spacious
- Storage spaces available only for higher-end plans
Customer Reviews
Affordable, easily accessible space rental
“Affordable, easily accessible space rental in a centralised location – perfect for holding cosy workshops of about 15 pax.” – Fan Waynne
Convenient and hassle-free office space
“EZCO Workspace gets it right in all of what I’ve been searching for. Convenient and hassle-free office space for anyone who’s looking for one. The big plus point would be the complimentary wi-fi, aircon and 24/7 office usage. Highly recommended!” – Fairus Dasimin
12. The Cocoon Space
“Pushing the frontiers of collaboration and innovation together”
Total Scores
We think The Cocoon Space is aptly named for its dedication to providing a space for creatives and professionals to work without interruption.
The fact that it’s an initiative by the Singapore Fashion Council makes it extra poetic in terms of weaving one’s dreams before they butterfly into reality. And it doesn’t hurt that it’s found in the heart of Orchard Road.
The Cocoon Space has reasonably priced rates for a wide range of plans that include daily, part-time, and full-month hot desking and private office offerings. The daily pass is only S$50 per day and already comes with great amenities and services.
However, it’s good to take a closer look at the other plans because they don’t always include the GST yet. It would be practical to call reception during operating hours (it’s unfortunately closed on weekends) to be on the same page about pricing.
Pros
- Offers part-time and full-time hot desking
- Great location
- Many membership plans to choose from
Cons
- GST not yet included in rates
- Office is closed on weekends
Customer Reviews
