đť Coworking spaces in Oslo: quiet zones, meeting rooms, daily rates
The capital's coworking landscape consists of network centres with branches throughout the city and several iconic startup communities within walking distance of the metro. Below is a practical guide: where to stay for a week with decent kitchens and internet, where there are quiet rooms for Zoom without echoes, and which âdayâ access formats really save money. We select places with convenient logistics, reasonable booking rules, and proven meeting rooms.
đ Which coworking spaces in Oslo are convenient for a week's work?
For a week's stay, spaces with several addresses and clear access rules are convenient.
- Mesh â two central hubs: Nationaltheatret (Tordenskiolds gate 2) and Youngstorget (Møllergata 6/8). There are cafĂŠ lounges, events and fully equipped meeting rooms.
- Spaces (IWG) â a network of locations, including convenient ones in the city centre: Kvadraturen (Tollbugata 8) and Haakon VIIâs gate; coworking spaces, dedicated spaces and meeting rooms are all close at hand.
- Regus (IWG) offers flexible formats: hot desks by the hour/day and memberships for 5/10/unlimited days per month â convenient if you need to work for a week.
- Evolve is a local network with a dozen+ centres; flexible offices and access to several locations within the city.
Plus: the Spacent aggregator lets you book workspaces/meeting rooms in dozens of locations through a single app â handy as a âuniversal keyâ for the week.
đ§ Where can I find echo-free rooms for Zoom?
The best bet is meeting rooms and mini-studios with good acoustics:
- Mesh openly advertises Cisco rooms for video and a ready-made podcast room; bookable on the website. This is a reliable option for long Zoom/Teams meetings.
- Regus â meeting rooms by the hour/day, equipped for video conferencing; small rooms available for solo calls.
- INC. (Hausmanns Hus) â common areas + phone booths; suitable for frequent short calls.
- Evolve emphasises the availability of âquiet roomsâ and free meeting rooms in the package â a good option if a quiet corner is important.
Tip: in open areas, many venues ask that you refrain from making long calls. Plan ahead: book a âsmallâ room for 2â4 people or a phone booth for the time slot you need.
đł Who offers good daily rates?
- If you need a day pass, there are several options:
- Scandic (co-working in hotel lobbies) â day/week/month formats are available across almost the entire network. Current price for the country: NOK 199 per day with breakfast or NOK 99 without; there is also an âoffice in your roomâ option for the day. Byporten/City/Sjølyst and others are suitable for Oslo.
- Regus â âDay Coworkingâ with payment per day; convenient if you want office coworking rather than a hotel lobby format. Available for online booking; the chain has many locations in the city centre.
- Spacent â purchase a day pass through the app and choose from partner locations (including Epicenter/other hubs). A good way to find a place âclose to businessâ.
Life hack: if you need a mix of âa few hours of quiet + one meeting,â get an inexpensive day pass (Scandic/Spacent) and book a meeting room separately for an hour where it is well soundproofed (Mesh/Regus).
For a âworking weekâ in the capital, choose networked spaces â Mesh for atmosphere and technology, Spaces/Regus for predictability and multiple locations, Evolve for quiet rooms and flexibility. For Zoom, it's better to book a small meeting room or booth in advance to guarantee good acoustics and a stable connection. If you need affordable daytime access, Scandic offers simple rates across its entire network, and Spacent can help you find a location close to your daily routes.
