    Carmen V.

    I like to employ my lunch time doing 3 things: eating, working out, discovering. Sometimes these things go together, sometimes separate, like this time. I was checking 'what is in this area close to work that I don't know yet' and that is how I ended up at Hacker Dojo, even though I had passed several times in front of that unassuming building! This place is fantastic, i don't give 5 stars because the girl at the reception table was not friendly or helpful at all. My understanding is that they are volunteers and most people there are the introvert type, but I have been volunteering in numerous events, venues, etc, and a smile gives a great first impression, which she didn't. So my colleague and I filled the info in the ipads with no eye exchange of any kind and entered a world mix of start-uppers, makers of electronics, laser cut wonders, lost students, serial entrepreneurs and meetuppers too. From outside, you will never know what is this place about. For first visit, you enter free (we love that:), then if you want to spend a day there and try it out is $20 full use of tools, printers, space, etc. For what I heard from a very friendly member who showed us around, most of the people there become members for around $120 a month, and they can access anytime. That is their place, kind of a coop. I liked the concept, the signage made with laser cut wood, the graffiti in the walls giving a edgy look and also the retro video games. The place was unexpectedly (again, for the location) full, so it was a total surprise. This is also somehow a co-working scenario for the nerds. Unlimited coffee, that is what they say, so ready to go.

    Great place to work if you want to avoid coffee shops. Stop by the Friday happy hour after 6 pm.

    My favorite place to do homework. And you can stay past 10, just get IBtL, and donate a little extra.

    Good for quiet working, but not worth the membership if you cannot reserve rooms for collaborative sessions.

    They have plenty of space and having access to private meeting areas is great.

    Ann, the manager at the Sunnyvale office, was a pleasure to work with. She did her best to…read moreaccommodate me and answer all my questions when I was in need for a co-working space. While the space is not that large has comfortable working areas that are bright and welcoming. Ann also makes the space welcoming by being approachable and by sharing special treats. I do wish there were more soft areas ie couches for lounging however the out door patio sort of makes up for that. I loved stepping outside eating my lunch on the patio and overlooking the lively downtown.

    The space is pretty basic, nothing special. The location is great. Lots of stuff walking distance…read more They provide a free one day pass, so it was nice to check it out to get a feel for the space, day rate is $35. The kitchen is equipped with some basics, plates, mugs, glasses, utensils and coffee w/creamers. No tea for some reason. I didn't get a good feel for the place. It was unclear who actually works for the space. The girl working here eventually greeted me, though she seemed far more interested in texting, chatting and watching videos and was annoyed with my rude interruption. When I asked for the rates, she just pointed at a piece of paper, couldn't be bothered to actually have a conversation with me. She didn't tell me anything about the space, just told me to grab any desk that's not reserved. Shortly before 3pm, a sign went up on doors stating that they will be locked until 9am Monday (was here on a Friday). When a guy got locked out and was let back in, the members rolled their eyes and said that "All doors get locked when she leaves".

Pre-COVID, I would avoid a one-hour long commute to work on occasion as my employer partnered with Star Space as a remote working location for their employees. There are numerous working environments (some formal, some informal, and also includes an outdoor patio that has WiFi connectivity) that are all set up with external monitors and peripherals. The printing is fast and there are conference rooms that can be reserved in advance for a small fee. There are sometimes community events meant to bring together those using the co-working space to get to know each other and exchange ideas. Post-COVID, they have aligned with proper precautions for the county and I feel completely safe working from there. There is a key fob that you can use during and after-hours, truly making this workplace accessible 24/7. Their kitchen is also fantastic. It is usually stocked with many single-serve type items (think cheese, hummus, pickle pouches, fruits, trail-mix type snacks, and beverages galore). Microwave, kitchen, and non-stop coffee. (There is oddly a premium coffee machine up front that I have NEVER seen been used as they charge a fee. This seems like it is a waste and should just be made available for users to make their own coffee.). Lunch is usually via a group DoorDash, but I find it easier and cheaper to often order separately and have it delivered to the the front door. All-in-all, Star Space is a wonderful co-working space that allows me to work outside the distracting environment in my own home, but not having to commute to my regular workplace or to another distracting environment like the library or coffee shops. They have great receptionist too. Highly recommend!

    This is my first time using a Regus space and service. While the front desk staff member was…read morefriendly, I feel this was a missed opportunity to provide a proper welcome to a first-time visitor. When I mentioned that it was my first visit, she smiled and led me to the coworking space without offering any further guidance. From what I gathered, it seems there isn't a clear process or training in place for welcoming new guests. For instance, she mentioned that if I were actively inquiring about using the space, I would have received a tour covering the layout, amenities, restrooms, Wi-Fi, and other essential details. However, since I wasn't specifically asking, no such information was provided. As a result, I was left to ask questions about basic things like the Wi-Fi password, restroom location, and the guidelines for using the lounge. This lack of proactive communication made for a disappointing first-time experience. I believe there is an opportunity here for Regus to improve the onboarding process for new visitors to make their experience more seamless and welcoming.

    I went in for a quote and was accommodated extremely well. I was offered a tour of the spaces as…read morewell as possibilities for my team of 15. The pricing and terms were extremely transparent, which was much appreciated as the representative took their time with my inquiries. Very friendly and helpful staff, neat and organized interior, quiet shared space for lunch, and a majority of the rooms have a pretty nice view of the exterior with plenty of sun.
