I traveled extensively around Vietnam and loved my time in Hanoi. It’s one of the top cities in the world for international tourists and has an electric pulse and a cultural allure unlike anywhere else I have visited.

Best Coworking Spaces in Hanoi

After spending a month living in the city I got to know some of the best working spaces in Hanoi. As a digital nomad, I’m always on the lookout for new and convenient places to base myself for a day’s work. I find working in new environments motivating and inspiring; thankfully there’s no shortage of great options available in Hanoi.

Whether you’re looking for free coworking spaces in Hanoi or a dedicated private office to base yourself in for a month or more, I’ve got you covered in this list.

1. COGO

One of the best coworking spaces in Hanoi is COGO Coworking. I opted to work here numerous times during my stay and always enjoyed myself and found it easy to be productive. Digital nomads can pay an affordable day rate with no long-term subscription required.

It’s one of the few Hanoi coworking spaces that’s open 24/7, which is ideal if you’ve just arrived and are suffering from jet lag like I was the first time! There’s even a convenient nap room and free coffee to help get you through any energy lulls.

The space is open-plan with modern furniture and comfortable lighting. It has the feel of a professional office environment and comes with all the fixtures of a modern workspace.

Address: 1 P. Thai Ha, Trung Liet, Dong Da, Hanoi, Vietnam

Membership Options and Costs

A day pass costs just $4 and secures you a desk for the day with full access to the facility. Monthly packages start at $80/month for hot-desking and go up to $133/month for a private office space.

Amenities at COGO

• 24/7 Access: Even daily hot desk packages allow a true day’s access to the facility.
• Free Beverages: Tea, coffee, and purified water are available to COGO users.
• High-Speed WiFi: Strong and reliable WiFi – suitable for downloading documents, hosting international online meetings, and everything in between.

Pros of COGO

• Unlimited Timeframe: A great bonus for remote workers who operate on different global time zones.
• Cost-Effective: Very competitive rates and free drinks make it an affordable daily or monthly option.
• Added Features: Social events, a friendly bar, and even a nap room are additional perks, uncommon to most Hanoi coworking spaces.

Cons of COGO

• Extra Costs: Printing and meeting rooms are available at an added cost.
• Size: COGO isn’t the biggest coworking space in Hanoi and can fill up and feel busy quickly.
• Limited Food Options: No cafe onsite means heading out for food or bringing your own.

2. Space

If you’re going to be coworking in Hanoi for at least a month, eSpace Coworking is a great option.

It’s a modern and excellent facility with great deals on month-long hot desking. The bright and comfortable space has many seating and desk options from big and open desks to cozy and comfortable nooks.

Additionally, you’ll get the benefit of the regular networking events and on-site seminars held at eSpace. There’s also access to a pantry with free tea and coffee and the occasional selection of cakes and sweet treats.

Address: 1 P. Dinh Le, Trang Tien, Hoan Kiem, Hanoi 100000, Vietnam

Membership Options and Costs

24/7 access is available from $80/month, or you can pay an extra $30 and get a dedicated desk. A private office starts at $440/month and would better suit anyone planning to work or run a business from Hanoi on a long-term basis.

Amenities at eSpace

• Premium Business Address: Get an official and professional business address in Hanoi.
• 24/7 Access: Perfect for crisscrossing time zones, early birds, and those who like to burn the midnight oil.

Pros of eSpace

• Freebies: Free tea and coffee, access to a pantry, and printing credits all help save on expenditure.
• Great Location: eSpace Coworking is ideally located for all of Hanoi’s attractions and has great restaurants and cafes close by.

Cons of eSpace

• Opening Times: Despite selling 24/7 access eSpace is officially open 8 am – 8 pm Monday through Saturday. Clarification on this is unclear but may mean restrictive access for those without dedicated offices and hot desks.
• Shakey WiFi: It was never my experience, but there are some reports of slow and inconsistent WiFi at times.
• Noise: As a popular coworking location, it can become fairly noisy during busy spells.

3. HanoiHub

A simple and no-fuss coworking space in Hanoi is HanoiHub. This well-designed and centrally located hub has all you need for a day’s work and offers custom packages depending on your circumstances.

I only needed a desk for a few hours during my visit here and it cost less than a cup of coffee. It was very quiet during the afternoon and I was able to connect and get cracking within a minute of arriving.

HanoiHub has a more personal feel to it than some of the other coworking spaces in Hanoi I’ve tried out. The simplicity and ease of access make it a great option for digital nomads seeking a temporary base.

Address: 112 Lane 260 P. Đội Cấn, Liễu Giai, Ba Dinh, Hanoi 100000, Vietnam

Bespoke plans are available to suit your individual remote working needs. I paid $2.50 for a day pass but could have paid as little as $1 for 2 hours access to a desk. Contact HanoiHub directly to discuss prices.

Cons of HanoiHub

• Size: It’s not a huge space and can feel crowded during busy spells.
• Limited Facilities: Although a great option for hot-desking, remote workers looking for additional amenities will likely find HanoiHub quite limiting.
• No Dedicated Desks: Seating is only available on a first-come first-serve basis.

4. Tranquil Books & Coffee

The best places to cowork in Hanoi are found in some of the city’s awesome laptop-friendly cafes. If good coffee, a nice atmosphere, and reliable free WiFi are all you require for a solid day’s work, then a visit to Tranquil Books & Coffee should be high on your list.

Anywhere that combines coffee with the chance to get my hands on some new books is a winner for me! I discovered Tranquil Books & Coffee during my first day in Hanoi and made several return trips with my laptop.

It’s a popular cafe and the slight feel of a university library has a calming effect on the clientele. It’s a nice location to spend a few hours working away with great coffee options.

Address: 5 P. Nguyễn Quang Bích, Cửa Đông, Hoan Kiem, Hanoi, Vietnam

Membership Options and Costs

As this is a cafe, there aren’t any membership options. The amenities are free to all patrons, a decent cup of coffee costs around $1.60, and food options are $2-$3.
