Rooms we’ve spent a working day in. The notes are ours.

HybridEastern Canal District

Zoku Amsterdam (rooftop coworking)

Next to the monthly membership there is a daily pass. Not cheap, I'd say, but the interiors and the views are amazing.

  • “The stylish decor, architecture and greenery is sure to provide some much-needed inspiration whether that’s for solo working or group lunch meetings.”

HybridOost

Werkplaats (Volkshotel)

More democratic than the fancy hotel lobbies, with a library vibe. Often crowded.

  • “The cafe provides a buzzing work spot, filled with students, creatives and entrepreneurs making use of the free wifi, tables with power outlets and great coffee.”

More places to work

We have not worked from these yet. What you see comes from the venues’ own pages and from people who worked there, each with its source.

HybridCentrum (Leidseplein)

De Balie

  • “But it’s the mezzanine in the cafe, complete with spiral staircase and views over Leidseplein, that is the main attraction for those looking for a great spot to work.”
