A quick guide to Top Hungary coworking spaces (Part 1)

Then → Now · 2026

Budapest's coworking pioneer shrank rather than grew: by its own account, by 2025 Loffice had leased its Salétrom building to Wolt, put its Déri office up for rent and moved coworking back to its 2009 Paulay Ede original.

What it said (2018) ↓

Budapest has "around 30 coworking spaces… most of which opened in the last year"; the "locomotives" are L'Office, Kaptár, Impact Hub and Mosaik.

Budapest picked as one of Cowork7/24's first four launch cities.

Original post · 4 September 2018

It’s no secret anymore. I have a weak spot for Budapest, and I’m openly and positively biased about Hungary. My love for Budapest dates back to 2002 when I had my first taste of Sziget Festival. Since then, I’ve visited Budapest maybe 30 times - I’ve built so many memories, made great friends, returned to Sziget Festival 5 times, and I’ve even made an effort to learn a bit of Hungarian. So, now it was the time for Hungary coworking spaces! But the reason why we had chosen Budapest as one of the first 4 cities-to-launch for Cowork7/24 had nothing to do with this love. Budapest has an amazing coworking scene, with so many new players coming onboard recently. They are following the city’s locomotives L’Office, Kaptar, Impact Hub and Mosaik. The coworking scene in Budapest is a very promising one with around 30 coworking spaces of all sizes and sorts, most of which opened in the last year. Additionally, we’ve been hearing very positive sounds about the small “vidéki” (read: hungarian countryside) coworking spaces. That meant a coworking roadtrip across Hungary was necessary, and I didn’t mind ; ) After the big Bulgaria coworking spaces roadtrip early August, this was relatively easier to plan as we were more experienced this time. Purely for logistical and timing reasons, we kept it to central and west Hungary, and had to leave out Debrecen, Nyíregyháza in the east, and Győr in north-west to a future trip. Arriving in Budapest We arrived in Budapest straight from the Freedom X Fest (read about it here) with only a short but great coworking space tour break in Barcelona (we’ll write about it too! Stay tuned!). The day was long, really long, as we could make it to our accomodation in Budapest only around 1:30 am. Just 6 hours later, we woke up to a beautiful and sunny Budapest morning, We had only one day in Budapest before we hit the road for our Hungarian coworking spaces roadtrip. Therefore, on that Wednesday, the plan was to visit both a few of our “good old friends” and a few newcomers in Budapest. We knew it would be doable given the size of Budapest, and the convenience of local transportation. Muse Muse was first on our list. A new coworking space in the city, close to the Nyugati train station. It is located in a beautifully designed old flat where Daniel, the founder, has handmade all design and fittings. It may look small, but it has everything you need - hot desk, fixed desk, event space, rearranging rooms, kitchen and a massage chair giving you that feeling of absolute comfort, and a feel for home. It’s an absolute must for the creative minds and hands. Check out a few pictures we posted on Instagram.

Kaptar KAPTÁR was founded in 2012, and has been one of our early partners in Budapest since we launched Cowork7/24. Kaptar is a community of independent professionals, teams, freelancers and digital nomads in the heart of Budapest, close to everything and everyone. The major city attractions like the St. Istvan Basilica or the Parliament are just few minutes walk away, as well as the City Opera and the famous Andrassy street. Kaptar offers a busy community office, event space, and official seat for growing companies and organizations – or, rather, a prestigious downtown base for them – meeting space, coaching and off-site place – all in one. Forbes describes Kaptar as “KAPTÁR is not only a common workplace, it a real community-forming platform.” Check-out some pictures we posted on Instagram, and book Kaptar through our Cowork7/24 app (iOS or Android) next time you are in Budapest.

Komodor Komodor is a great little coworking space in the heart of Budapest, offering a total of just 18 desks. Given their internal design though, it’s one of the small gems in town with an affordable price, and a care for the environment. The owner Ivan was a freelancer himself, when he decided to open his own space 2 years after a hectic search for an office for himself without success. Komodor coworking space is a great place for those who want to work in a quiet, family-like comfy environment. Check out a few pictures we posted on Instagram

Impact Hub I personally had to skip Impact Hub due to other work arrangements, but Zeynep kindly took on the duty. Impact Hub Budapest, being located in a Royal Mansion on Ferenciek Tere 2, an amazingly beautiful building, is the local home of changemakers, and a community of like-minded people. They are offering inspiring events, various coworking areas, meeting rooms and event rooms. As is the case with many coworking spaces we have seen, finding the entrance may be a bit challenging for the novice, but don’t give up. It will be worth it! Look for the Impact Hub sign, ring the main door of the building (Bell 60) and follow the beautiful stairs to the first floor.

The story and history of the Royal Mansion, Impact Hub Budapest

L’office Loffice Budapest was the first coworking space I had ever been to, thanks to a sharing economy event 5 years ago, thus it has a special place in my heart. It may very well be where the coworking bug has bit me and got me addicted for the rest of my life. Long story short, they are the pioneers of the coworking model in Budapest since 2009, located in the former printingh house of the Music Academy. Since then, they have been a key hub in the Hungarian creative and startup scene, and have grown to a total of 4 offices, 3 in Budapest and 1 in Vienna, Austria and a summer workstation in Balatonföldvár. That last one was actually on our list to visit during this trip, but we had to change plans last minute. We’ll leave it to next summer!

Next day, we continued with the rest of our roadtrip to visit the rural coworking spaces in Szeged, Pecs, Szekesfehervar and Gardony. Here's the Part 2 of our blog. Do you operate a coworking space ?

Budapest picked as one of Cowork7/24's first four launch cities.
Muse is new, in a hand-built flat near Nyugati station.

L'Office has been the pioneer since 2009, with "4 offices, 3 in Budapest and 1 in Vienna" plus a summer workstation in Balatonföldvár.

What happened since:

Kaptár is still operating near the Basilica. Day passes now cost about €15–18. kaptarbudapest.hu, Coworker
Kaptár co-founder Áron Levendel opened KLUSTER, a "community team house" for teams of 2–10 near Astoria, in September 2025. We Love Budapest, 2025-09-12
Loffice has contracted. Its own 15-year history (2024-12-31) lists these changes:
- Loffice Salétrom (opened 2020) was leased whole to Wolt Hungary.
- Loffice Déri (opened 2022) was offered for rent from February 2025.
- In 2025, coworking was to go back to the original Paulay Ede site, according to the history; the live site is inconsistent, with a banner still placing coworking at Déri Miksa u. 6 while the footer gives Paulay Ede u. 55.
- Vienna is still running. The Balatonföldvár summer site is not mentioned. loffice.hu, Loffice Wien
Impact Hub Budapest is reportedly still at Ferenciek tere 2, according to directory and jobs listings; a 2026 volunteer posting gives Wesselényi u. 17, so the address could not be confirmed. dreamjobs.hu
Muse is reportedly active at Szent István körút 15 (about 120 m², balcony over the boulevard); its own site could not be reached to confirm this. musebudapest.com
Komodor at Wesselényi u. 8: a Facebook post said it was fully booked until mid-2025 at the earliest. komodor.hu returned 404 on 2026-09-30, so its current status is unverified. Facebook
Mosaik: mosaik.space no longer resolves. No current web presence found. coworkies listing
Penetration: flexible space is only about 2–3% of Budapest's office stock, according to a software vendor's blog that gives no underlying source. Optix

Verdict: Partly true. The core spaces (Kaptár, Impact Hub, Muse) are still standing, which counts as Still valid. The description of L'Office is Outdated.

Headline finding: Budapest's coworking pioneer shrank rather than grew: by its own account, by 2025 Loffice had leased its Salétrom building to Wolt, put its Déri office up for rent and moved coworking back to its 2009 Paulay Ede original.
