About Othership
Othership's meeting room booking software works the way you want!
So easy to book a meeting room and very good sessions such as the investment pitch.
Nothing really that I find frustrating about the software, but i can sometimes feel a bit overwhelmed when looking for spaces.

Thank you so much Jaco, It has been amazing to share this journey with you and the team. Long may it live on! All the best, Ben
A good hotdesking platform
Pros:
Multitude of different locations, different types or workspace, and different price levels all over London.
Cons:
I have had it a few times where Othership has said somewhere has availability but after booking I have had an email from Othership saying there are actually no desk spaces left and I need to choose somewhere else.
Othership Offers You Working Focus in a Friendly Engaging Space
Comments: I am taking part in the working meetups that Othership promotes and also finding different hotspots where I can work outside of my local comfort zone
Pros:
Othership offered me access to remote working spaces locally and to be able to reach out to others in the space. It's a walk in the park compared to the cold commute!
Cons:
Othership has offered me a freelance engagement that can be flexible and work for me now that I am elf-employed

Great platform for flexible working and no office commitments
Comments: It's a great platform to find meeting rooms and to host clients with tea, coffee and facilities.
Pros:
Easy to find and to get settled quickly to commence a meeting. Receptionists and friedly and helpful.
Cons:
Need to book in advance no availability the day before.
Othership provides startups with excellent and cost-effective support
Comments: I've been using Othership for just over a couple of years now and really value their service and very responsive customer service whenever I've needed it.
Pros:
Very helpful and informative Slack community and online platform for booking hotdesks and meeting rooms for early stage startups.

Nothing I really dislike, but more afternoon networking events would be great for m3.
Alternatives Considered: Spaces Booking
Reasons for Switching to Othership: Far more cost-effective for a very early stage startup.

Hi Rav, Thanks for the amazing review, the team are delighted to hear we gave a better experience than one of the world's largest companies. Always here if you need anything, Ben
Great Experience
Comments: Great experience I will definitely repeat
Pros:
The flexibility that offers to find a working space and the rates they offer.
Cons:
Would like to have more spaces available in my area.
Some really nice places with great ambience
Pros:
Good selection of places to work, some are really nice and fancy, very nice ambuence where you can take others to as well
Cons:
There have been a couple of instances where I went to a place and staff werent aware they were on Othership, however this was eventually resolved and I was able to use my membership here.
Community Vibe are Up!
Pros:
the people, every single person i have met at the brunches has been awesome!!
Cons:
I didn't get to attend a many events as i'd like to and that sucks!
Othership Experience
Pros:
The functionality, the meetings and the opportunity to meet people with similar aspirations. Friendly and supportive environment to connect with peers and make networking.
Cons:
When I joined two years ago I found a bit confusing the system, but apart from that all is good.
Great service
Pros:
Great service, easy to use with good flexibility.
Cons:
None, keep doing what you are good at for users.
Amazing community for remote working professionals
Comments: Found amazing friends and experiences through this platform, wouldn't have been possible without it!
Pros:
The ability to checkin/ login to co-working spaces and see if other colleagues will be working in the same area, gives a sense of community and belonging to "the other way of working ".Not to mention the incredible Slack Channel which adds to the sense of community and people can ask for help or provide help and the like, a great asset supporting other start-ups and Founders.
Cons:
A scheduler which I believe would be helpful to plan in advance your working week. This would help plan your call working week and find people or groups that you could co-working in advance.
Othership, from virtual to Real life in one app!
Comments: Its a great community and the founders do a really good job curating it. Add in the ability to plan your desk, location and facilities in advance and its great for small distributed companies.
Pros:
I like the ability to be able to plan where i am going to be and to know with certainty you have a desk/room when you want it.
Cons:
No real downsides I can find, room availability outside major conurbations is not so great but thats probably because there arent facilities there.

Hi Kevin, Thanks so much for the lovely review. I think you will like the new workplace scheduler alot too. You sill see where is busy near you you even if we don't have an official space there to work from. This should really help find others and spaces when not in the more major cities. All the best, speak soon, Ben
Great community and great people
Pros:
All the features are backed by the amazing community and team running Othership which makes the events and scheduling tools great.
Cons:
Not much, Othership covers most bases, but all I could ask for are more events as the current ones are so enjoyable.

Great availability and easy to use
Pros:
The best part of the Othership is the detailed descriptions of the spaces, allowing to make the right selection for every need, from focus work to taking calls.
Cons:
The only feature I would add is an indicator of wifi quality and background music to help decide the suitability for work.
