Day Rates and Pricing
Day rates for coworking in Glasgow typically range from £20 to £55.
Hot desking
The most affordable option. Turn up, find any available desk, and work for the day. Most hot desk rates include wifi, tea and coffee, and access to communal areas. Glasgow hot desk rates tend to sit below Edinburgh and well below London pricing.
Dedicated desks
Your own desk in a shared space, available whenever you need it. Slightly more than hot desking, with the advantage of keeping your setup between visits. Some venues include locker storage.
Wizu Workspace West Regent Street offers dedicated desks in the city centre.
Day offices
A private room for one to four people, bookable by the day. Useful for confidential calls, focused work, or small teams that want privacy without a long-term commitment. Day offices sit at the top of the coworking price range.
