"Honestly, it's a nice place to work I can understand why this place commands a premium because it's an upmarket place. The working environment/ambiance/decor is really second to none. Sometimes it can be a bit noisy but this is to be expected working in an open space. Most big company offices are like that too. I've never regretted working there; on the contrary, I look forward to it. Food, although not amazing, is good enough. There's a nice selection of hot and cold dishes to suit most people."

"Co-desked here. It’s terrible. It’s joint to the cafe so the whole building comes down during lunch making the “working” area smelly and super loud. The seating is terrible. it’s to look aesthetically pleasing so the seats and tables just aren’t made to work with your laptop. No kitchen access so no kettle or microwave This is not a co working environment. It’s extra space for the rest of the building to use when they please"

"Limited seating options for co-working members. Music plays all day and it's very loud music. Very very distracting when trying to work or in a work call like Skype. Multiple people on different work calls commented that they could hear the music playing in the background. Overall, it's expensive for what you get. I will not reccommend this place to anyone. It is my first time coming here and I will not be coming back. Very disappointing. If I wanted to feel like I was sitting in a cafe, I would go and sit in one for free."

"Should be called 'NO SPACES'. I was a member here for 5 months. For the first 3 months everything was perfect, but around the beginning of January of 2020 the number of members increased to a point where on multiple occasions there was no where I could sit. This is including breakfast bars and sofas (which are not fit places to work for a full day regardless). Members with access to the private offices above get keys to access the building that coworkers do not. This meant that even if you arrived for the building opening at 8:30am you would often have to share a desk. I have now left Spaces but even on my last 2 weeks there, there were still regular tours, suggesting that there is literally no upper limit for members. The staff were all very friendly and the facilities mostly always clean - hence the 2* and not 1*. If you are considering coworking in Edinburgh there are many alternatives to Spaces I would advise checking out."

"If it was for the cafe and the reception staff (and the reception manager) alone it would be five stars. However everyone above the staff in the building (e.g. salespeople, area managers) are usually very dismissive, incredibly unsupportive of smaller companies (maybe bigger ones, not too sure), and regularly make it clear that if you pay the bills you deal with what you've got. Compared to wework on George street it is cheaper but after taking into account coffees, lack of networking events, printing, meeting rooms etc. you end up paying a lot more. Don't sign up for a 12 month contract as thats how they get you."
