Othership Reviews
Pros
The cowork & brunch is now a fixed date in my calendar every month and is a great way to meet other coworkers locally, the othership team have built a network of supportive and inspiring freelancers.
I love the ease of checking out the available places to book hotdesks and more than that, I love the community that my membership opened me up to.
I love how easy it is to use and that the team are so lovely, the slack group is also a really nice community.
Easy to use, plenty of choice available, amazing customer service and great price for what you get.
Cons
The Slack channels can be difficult to keep up with.
Nothing really that I find frustrating about the software, but i can sometimes feel a bit overwhelmed when looking for spaces.
I tend to avoid places without rating as I am not sure about the quality and don't want to move for a bad experience.
With very few competitiors and such a new form of working it is difficult to see Cons.

"Othership has truly transformed the way I perceive and utilize co-working spaces."
Overall: Transitioning from a conventional work environment to the dynamic realm of startups brought its set of challenges. As a budding entrepreneur, integrating back into the co-working community was vital, not just for professional growth but for a sense of camaraderie and collective endeavor.Othership emerged as a beacon in this transition.Othership addressed the critical pain points of my startup journey. It was not just about booking spaces; it was about building connections, ensuring operational fluidity, and fostering an environment conducive to growth. As I look forward to scaling my startup, I'm confident that Othership will remain a pivotal tool in that journey.It's not just a platform; it's a community enabler.
Pros: Remote Access/Control: Manage and reserve spaces from afar.Calendar Management: Streamlined scheduling for optimized workspace usage.Visitor Tracking: Enhance security and monitor workspace activity.Versatility: Suitable for freelancers, teams, and varied professional needs.User-Friendly Interface: Easy navigation and clear feature access.Integration Capabilities: Seamlessly merge with personal or team calendars and other tools.
Cons: Learning Curve: New users might take some time to get accustomed to the platform's features.Privacy Concerns: Features like visitor tracking might raise privacy concerns for some users.Subscription Costs: Depending on the pricing model, it might be pricey for some freelancers or startups.
"A good hotdesking platform"
Pros: Multitude of different locations, different types or workspace, and different price levels all over London.
Cons: I have had it a few times where Othership has said somewhere has availability but after booking I have had an email from Othership saying there are actually no desk spaces left and I need to choose somewhere else.
"Othership Offers You Working Focus in a Friendly Engaging Space"
Overall: I am taking part in the working meetups that Othership promotes and also finding different hotspots where I can work outside of my local comfort zone
Pros: Othership offered me access to remote working spaces locally and to be able to reach out to others in the space. It's a walk in the park compared to the cold commute!
Cons: Othership has offered me a freelance engagement that can be flexible and work for me now that I am elf-employed

"Two impressive products "
Overall: Excellent product and support from the Othership team.
Pros: Really easy to use Othership scheduler enables me to meet up with fellow co-workers for coworking and events Othership membership enables me to find the best place to work in new locations
Cons: More development of the scheduler to alert me to people working nearby on a particular date.
"Great stuff…"
Overall: Excellent, great, and other such adjectives.
Pros: I started using Othership when it was still called ‘WeCoffee’ before the pandemic. As a freelancer, my work took me all over London and I had had enough of trying to work in noisy cafes. Since then, it has grown into a dynamic and friendly community making it easy to network on a professional and social basis. It gets lonely being a solopreneur, and Othership solved that problem for me. I can work in peace in a silent booth if I’m in town, or choose to co-work with others. Great freedom and flexibility.
Cons: It’s still a little London Centric, but I’m impressive at how quickly and easily it has expanded to other cities and even towns in the UK (and Mexico…)
"Othership is the tool i reccomend the most to all my clients"
Overall: Seamless since I got introduced it and use more and more as my buisness and needs grow.
Pros: I love the sense of community around the tool itself. As well as the tool. Its very very lonely being a small team company and working from home. With othership it feels like my time is super charged with the community without be just about work but apporaching as a human.
Cons: No cons for me just continual improving as a tool.
"My review on Othership"
Overall: It have been the best and I highly recommend Othership to everyone.
Pros: Networking. Getting to meet peole of different races accross the world is a thing of beauty.
Cons: Honestly, there's nothing i dont like about othership though i just have a suggestion, can we make the online meetupa like 2x a month?
"First impressions of Othership"
Overall: Really positive. Seems much better use of company funds only having to pay for the times that we visit a coworking space. All the staff (both at othership and the coworking spaces) have been really friendly and always happy to help.
Pros: Quick and easy to make a booking. The website is user friendly, allowing me to quickly and easily search within a location for available offices / desks. The support available is great. When I have encountered an issue, the ability to use webchat to speak to a colleague has been brilliant. The team are quick and efficient in resolving any and all issues I have had. Email notifications work well. Keeping me informed of upcoming bookings and available budget left to spend without me needing to sign in to Othership each time.
Cons: I prefer to work in coworking spaces over cafe's and hotels and there are still large areas of the UK that are missing these types of spaces. I tend to stick around the £20 p/day mark however in some areas the cost of a coworking space is double this with no additional benefits. Trial and error and communicating with colleagues has enabled me to find the best value for money coworking spaces. Better awareness of events / drinks / social 'things' that are occurring at different locations would be good. Giving a reason for getting out and visiting coworking spaces.
"10 out 10 Product Service."
Pros: The ease of scheduling an online event and easy integration with my Google Calendar.
Cons: So far, I've been 100% satisfied with all it's services.
"Navigating Hybrid with Ease"
Overall: Overall very positive and will renew the license.
Pros: Ease of setup and help guides to self-service.
Cons: Had to book a demo to speak to a sales agent.
"Best desk booking software I've used! "
Overall: Othership has provided me with a community to tap into for support, work opportunities as a freelancer and a space to connect with likeminded people in lovely workspaces - give it a try!
Pros: Othership is so easy to use and I have full flexibility. No previous day booking cut-off times or credits to worry about. And as a premium member I also get a free coffee in some spaces - win! Though the best thing for me has to be the community they've built - I very much dip in and out of the community depending on where my work takes me, but there's always a warm welcome from [sensitive content hidden] and the team! There's always a good selection of spaces wherever I am in London and they've now got spaces in a number of cities around the world too for those making the most of remote working!
Cons: Nothing! It's a great affordable system for everyone from freelancers / solopreneurs to larger businesses.

"Amazing community for remote working professionals"
Overall: Found amazing friends and experiences through this platform, wouldn't have been possible without it!
Pros: The ability to checkin/ login to co-working spaces and see if other colleagues will be working in the same area, gives a sense of community and belonging to "the other way of working ".Not to mention the incredible Slack Channel which adds to the sense of community and people can ask for help or provide help and the like, a great asset supporting other start-ups and Founders.
Cons: A scheduler which I believe would be helpful to plan in advance your working week. This would help plan your call working week and find people or groups that you could co-working in advance.
"It is, and continues to be fantastic"
Pros: Super easy to use and there is no fuss. You can get up and running and utilise almost instantly.
Cons: It isn't the product per se, but the locality of everyone using it. Its a plus to spread our net wider, but a slight con that its not so localised.

"Highly recommended for remote teams"
Overall: Excellent. I'd recommend (and do recommend) it to everyone
Pros: Flexibility, range of locations, the community

"A truly supportive community"
Pros: I travel alot so it's extremely easy to find a workspace wherever I am. But the best aspect of being an Othership member is the fantastic community support. Everyone is very helpful and supportive, the Othership team go out of their way to help every member and the sessions and events they run are extremely valuable.
Cons: None really, I have nothing bad to say about being an Othership member.

"Way more than just a remote work booking platform"
Pros: I love the ease of checking out the available places to book hotdesks and more than that, I love the community that my membership opened me up to. I was so grateful to have stumbled upon Othership after moving back to London and being self-employed for the first time ever. This community has been incredible and I have loved connecting with all the interesting fellow remote workers/ freelancers/ self-employed!
Cons: Wish there was an app to easily use on the go from my mobile and an automatic integration to place my bookings on my google calendar for easy reference, but otherwise can't complain!

"Othership opens up your world of world"
Overall: It's great to be an Othership member. It's like a family.
Pros: It's easy to use, packed with venues you never knew existed, with a ready-made community of likeminded souls
Cons: Can't think of much. It's perfect for what I use it for.
"Good for low priced coworking and connections"
Overall: I love the idea of connection to the community via Slack - to me connection is what might be lacking from most coworking spaces.
Pros: I really enjoy changing the place I work from every week. They say it’s great for creativity! Also, if you don’t need to work from an office every single day, it’s a good way to only pay for what you use. I also like the clever partnerships with hotels and restaurants, where you can actually sit and work without worrying you might be asked to leave. The places chosen are quite nice too!
Cons: Maybe with time they will start adding more places hopefully.

"My go-to for co-working spaces"
Pros: Being able to book spaces so quickly and easily, see what is available and what benefits each venue offers makes it such a great experience.
Cons: Not being able to see where people in my network are working from so I can combine co-working with networking...but I know the scheduler will solve this!
"Easy to use platform for remote workers"
Pros: Easy to use, and really collaborative. Recommends for freelancers and remote teams
Cons: Live chat occasionally has some hiccups, but works most times just fine
Vendor Response
"Hybrid Work Solutions Made Easy"
Pros: I like the choice and flexibility offered by Othership. Whether it’s a hot desk for me when visiting a location, a meeting room for the team or a business meeting or remote work for the wider team, it’s all there in one place at a few mouse clicks.
Cons: Many of the early stage issues have been improved over time, so none spring too mind.
