Othership Reviews

“flexible booking options”

Pros

Being able to manage and reserve spaces remotely is a huge plus especially when plans change during the day. The calendar tools keep scheduling organized and help make better use of the workspace without much hassle. Visitor tracking also adds an extra layer of security and makes it easier to keep an eye on activity. It works well for freelancers, teams and different kinds of professional setups so it feels very adaptable. The interface is user friendly too, with clear navigation and features that are simple to access. On top of that the integration options blend nicely with personal or team calendars and other tools which makes everything feel more connected.

Cons

There is a bit of a learning curve at the beginning since new users may need some time to get comfortable with all the features. Visitor tracking can also bring up privacy concerns depending on how people feel about monitoring. The subscription cost could be another issue especially for freelancers or smaller startups if the pricing ends up on the higher side.

“Booking made simple”

Pros

Booking a meeting room is really simple and the sessions are very good especially the investment pitch.

Cons

I'm just hoping they expand to Manchester soon.

“easy to use”

Pros

Using it feels really easy and it's full of venues I probably never would have discovered otherwise. On top of that there's already a built in community of like minded people which makes the whole experience even better.

Cons

I can't think of much to complain about. It does exactly what I need it to do.

“perfect recommendations”

Pros

One thing that really adds value here is the community especially when you're trying to figure out what fits your specific needs. The recommendations felt spot on and the extra perks that came with them made the whole experience even more worthwhile. I used it while I was in Lisbon and it ended up being a lot of fun.

Cons

At times some of the options can feel a bit outside my budget although there are still plenty of choices available to pick from.

“amazing variety of workspaces”

Pros

There's a really strong network of like minded people here, the team stays genuinely engaged and the spaces themselves are high quality.

Cons

I'd love to see even more events offered. There are also a few UX details on the website that felt confusing to me at times.

“Team coordination made simple”

Pros

Connecting with other entrepreneurs has been really easy and it's convenient to book spaces and stay in touch with my team all in one place.

Cons

There are still a few minor UI/UX details that could use some polish but nothing major.

“best part is the community”

Pros

Working remotely can get pretty isolating so the community has been the most valuable part of this platform for me. Being able to connect so easily with like minded entrepreneurs has honestly been the best experience I've had with the platform.

Cons

Nothing major to complain about. A few features are still being developed but the support team is excellent.

“wonderful founding team”

Pros

Such a strong product backed by an excellent team. The team at Othership has brought together a huge number of like minded people.

Cons

I'd like to see more chances to connect with people at offline events though that probably has more to do with me than the product itself.

“handy workspace hub”

Pros

Where this really helps is having one central place to find somewhere to work, no matter which city I'm in.

Cons

Would love to see more locations available in Bristol.

“love the platform design”

Pros

The overall setup of the platform is something I really enjoy and it's very user friendly to work with. I'm also part of the online community so it feels good to support the network as well.

Cons

Nothing to point out yet. We're still getting familiar with the platform but I'll definitely share more once we've spent more time using it.

“Coworking community that really connects”

Pros

Checking into co working spaces and being able to see whether other colleagues will be working nearby really adds to that sense of community and belonging around this different way of working. On top of that the Slack channel is fantastic for keeping that feeling alive since people regularly jump in to ask for help, offer support and connect with other start ups and founders. It's a valuable part of the whole experience.

Cons

A scheduling feature would be a really useful addition for planning the work week ahead. It would make it easier to organize calls, set up co working plans in advance and find people or groups to work alongside before the week begins.

“simple booking”

Pros

There are always lots of excellent locations available and the platform is very easy to use.

Cons

nothing major comes to mind. If anything, I'd just love to see them continue expanding their network beyond London and the South East into more parts of Europe.

“supports a thriving startup community”

Pros

When a startup needs support, space or guidance, Othership is the place to go. The community is active, welcoming and genuinely helpful.

Cons

Keeping up with all of the Slack channels can be a bit challenging.

“helpful platform”

Pros

Right away, the Slack community has been incredibly helpful and informative and the online platform makes it really convenient to book hot desks and meeting rooms for early stage startups.

Cons

There's honestly not much I dislike though I'd love to see more networking events in the afternoons for me.

“fantastic coworking network”

Pros

Having this workspace platform has completely changed how I find local coworking spots when I'm travelling between meetings around town. Before this, I was bouncing between Google, Meetup, LinkedIn and Facebook to track down venues so this has been a real game changer. The cowork & brunch has become a regular fixture in my calendar every month and it's such a good way to connect with other local coworkers. The Othership team has created a genuinely supportive and inspiring network for freelancers and having organized my own coworking events before COVID, I know firsthand how difficult that is to pull off.

Cons

Offers a lot of features so it will take me a bit of time to figure out which sections are the most relevant for what I need.

“flexible coworking with a warm community”

Pros

Using this app has been really simple and I love how much flexibility it gives me. There are no annoying previous day booking deadlines or credits to keep track of which makes the whole thing much more convenient. As a premium member, I also get a free coffee in some locations which is a nice bonus. The biggest highlight for me though, is the community they've created. My work takes me to different places so I dip in and out depending on where I am but I'm always met with a warm welcome from the support and the team. On top of that there's consistently a solid range of spaces available across London and now they also have locations in several cities worldwide which is fantastic for anyone really embracing remote work.

Cons

I don't have any complaints. It's an affordable option that works well for everyone from freelancers and solopreneurs to bigger businesses.

“quick booking”

Pros

Booking spaces takes hardly any time and being able to instantly see what's available along with the benefits each venue offers makes the whole experience really enjoyable.

Cons

The only thing missing right now is visibility into where people in my network are working so I can mix co working with networking but it sounds like the scheduler will take care of that.

“loads of nearby venue options”

Pros

Finding places to meet up with coworkers has been incredibly easy with this platform. I'm based in East London and there are plenty of spots available within just a couple of miles. I also really enjoy the range of different venues you can choose from.

Cons

Haven't run into any issues. It's very simple to use and the price is excellent.

“simple onboarding”

Pros

Getting started with the product felt very simple and the team was incredibly supportive throughout the process.

Cons

I'm struggling to come up with any downsides that would feel fair to mention.

“Plenty of desk options”

Pros

There are lots of different locations available and wherever I go, I know I'll usually be able to find a desk that works for me. Once I'm making a bit more money, I'd definitely upgrade to a paid plan.

Cons

A few areas are still missing at the moment but I'm hopeful they'll be added soon.
