Why Coworking Works Well in the Netherlands

Many freelancers and remote workers in the Netherlands use shared workspaces. For expats, a coworking space is also a place to meet people and a proper work environment if you work remotely for a foreign employer. See our guide to freelancing as a ZZP in the Netherlands if you are considering going self-employed here.

This guide only gives prices and locations that the providers list on their own sites, with the date we checked. Prices and promotions change, so check the provider’s page before you book.

Quick Comparison: What the Providers List

Prices come from the providers’ own pages on 8 October 2026. We could not verify the current sites or prices of two providers named in earlier versions of this guide (The Thinking Hut’s website no longer resolves, and Tribes’ website showed a certificate error), so we no longer describe them.

Spaces (IWG): Many Locations

Spaces is a coworking brand of IWG. Its Dutch site lists coworking day passes, hourly coworking, a dedicated workplace (“vaste werkplek”), offices for individuals and teams, meeting rooms, a registered business address and virtual office packages (spacesworks.com/nl, 8 October 2026). Use the site’s location search to see which Dutch cities have a location and what each location offers.

Best for: people who want to compare locations in more than one city on one site, or who need a registered business address from a coworking provider (confirm with the provider that it works for your KvK registration).

WeWork: Amsterdam

WeWork’s Amsterdam page lists four locations: Strawinskylaan 4117, Weesperstraat 61-105, Stadhouderskade 5-6 and Weteringschans 165. On 8 October 2026 it listed day passes from EUR 35 a day (Weesperstraat, Stadhouderskade) and EUR 40 a day (Strawinskylaan, Weteringschans), coworking memberships from EUR 339 a month (shown as EUR 289 a month), and dedicated desks at some locations on request. Meeting rooms and private offices are also offered, and the page promotes high-speed Wi-Fi and onsite support.

Best for: Amsterdam-based remote workers and freelancers who want a day pass or monthly desk in one of those four buildings.

Seats2meet

Seats2meet runs locations across the Netherlands where you can book a workplace or a meeting room. According to its own site, you pay per person and indicate when you start and stop, bookings can be changed or cancelled up to 24 hours before, and it describes the network as investing in social capital. It no longer presents itself as a free option on the pages we checked, so check the price of the location you want before you go.

Best for: occasional use and meeting rooms in different cities.

A Lab: Amsterdam

A Lab describes itself as a community in Amsterdam that combines a workplace, studios, a stage and a neighbourhood centre. Its site mentions members, events and event spaces. It does not list prices on the pages we checked, so contact A Lab for membership options.

Best for: Amsterdam-based freelancers who want a community-oriented workplace and are happy to ask about terms first.

Day Pass vs Monthly Membership

Choose a day pass if: you work from a coworking space only a few days a month, you want to try a location first, or you are in a city temporarily.

Choose a monthly membership if: you work there often enough that the monthly price is lower than the day passes you would buy, and you want a regular place and regular faces.

Choose a dedicated desk if: you want to leave equipment set up and work there most weekdays.

Choose a private office if: you have a small team, or need privacy for calls.

The sum is simple: divide the monthly price by the day-pass price for the same location. At WeWork’s listed Amsterdam prices (EUR 339 against EUR 35 to EUR 40) the membership starts to pay off at roughly 8 to 10 days a month; at the reduced EUR 289 it is roughly 7 to 8 days. Check the current prices and any minimum term before you decide.

What to Look for When Choosing a Coworking Space

Wi-Fi reliability. Ask about upload speed, because video calls need it, and test the connection during busy hours.

Noise level. Open-plan spaces vary. Visit at a busy time to see whether it suits your work.

Meeting rooms. Some memberships include meeting-room hours and others charge per hour. If you have regular client meetings, add that cost.

Contract terms. Check the minimum term, the notice period and what is included in the price.

Community. Ask what events the space runs and talk to existing members during a day-pass visit.

Coworking for Expats: Specific Considerations

KvK address: If you register as a self-employed person, some providers offer a registered business address service. Confirm with the provider that the address can be used for your KvK registration and check the KvK rules; our KvK registration guide explains the address requirements in detail.

Business banking: A self-employed person normally needs a separate business bank account. See our guide to Dutch business bank accounts for ZZP freelancers.

Dutch work culture: Read our Dutch work culture guide before your first day in a shared space.

Working from home instead: if you work from home for an employer, your employer can pay a tax-free home-working allowance of €2.45 per day (Belastingdienst); see our employment contract guide.

Tips for Getting the Most from a Coworking Membership

1. Visit on a day pass first. Every space feels different in person.
2. Go at busy times. Judge the noise and energy when the space is full.
3. Talk to the community team if the space has one.
4. Book meeting rooms in advance.
5. Check your employment contract. If you work remotely for a foreign employer, check whether your contract restricts where you can work from.

Internet and Technical Requirements

Before you commit, check that the connection matches your work. Ask about upload speed and whether the space has a back-up connection, run a speed test at a busy time, and ask whether private offices have lockable doors. For sensitive work, a VPN on top of any shared Wi-Fi is sensible.

Setting Up as a ZZP Freelancer Using a Coworking Address

Some providers offer a registered business address (postadres or vestigingsadres) service that lets you register your KvK number at the coworking address rather than your home address. The KvK has requirements for business addresses and the KvK register is public, so check the rules and the provider’s terms before you register. Our KvK registration guide explains the address rules.

Coworking Costs and Tax

If you are self-employed, coworking costs can be business expenses. How much you can deduct depends on your situation; ask the Belastingdienst or an adviser. If you are VAT-registered (BTW-plichtig), ask whether you can reclaim the VAT on the invoice in your BTW return, and keep proper invoices from the provider.
