Short answer: At Ooosh, a Hot Desk costs HK$150 to HK$300 a day and HK$1,500 to HK$4,500 a month. Lai Chi Kok is lowest, Island East (Shau Kei Wan) is in the middle, and Central costs three times Lai Chi Kok for a monthly pass. Ooosh private offices (serviced offices) start at HK$5,000 a month in Island East, HK$6,500 in Lai Chi Kok and HK$12,800 in Central.
In our August 2026 survey of other operators, a 4–6 person serviced office cost HK$16,000–90,000 a month in Central and HK$9,500–33,000 in Lai Chi Kok / Cheung Sha Wan, before extra fees.
We run coworking spaces in all three districts, so we can show real prices side by side instead of a single “from” figure. Below are our 2026 prices, what other operators charge for serviced private offices, and the extra fees that make two similar quotes very different.
How much does a hot desk cost in Hong Kong?
A Hot Desk at Ooosh costs from HK$150 a day in Lai Chi Kok to HK$300 a day in Central. A Hot Desk is any free seat in the shared area; you don’t keep the same desk.

How much does a day office cost?
A Day Office (a private office booked for one day) costs HK$680 in Island East and Lai Chi Kok and HK$1,280 in Central. It needs no service contract and covers business hours. Typical uses: interviews, confidential calls and focus days when an open desk is too public.

How much does a private office or serviced office cost?
A private office at Ooosh is a serviced office: a fully furnished room for your team, with electricity, management fees, government rent and rates, internet and basic cleaning included in the monthly fee. You sign a service contract instead of a lease, and there is no setup fee. Ooosh private offices start at HK$5,000 a month in Island East, HK$6,500 in Lai Chi Kok and HK$12,800 in Central. The final price depends on the room, so contact us with your team size and start date for a quote.
| Island East | Lai Chi Kok | Central | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Private office, per month | from HK$5,000 | from HK$6,500 | from HK$12,800 |
All Ooosh private offices include 24/7 access and meeting room credits. Lai Chi Kok private offices also include 24/7 air-conditioning.
For comparison, in August 2026 we surveyed what five operators in Central and five in Lai Chi Kok / Cheung Sha Wan charge for a 4–6 person serviced private office. Operators quoted per desk or per suite, per month, and window rooms generally cost more than internal ones.
| District | Per desk, per month | 4–6 person office, per month |
|---|---|---|
| Central | HK$4,000 to HK$15,000+ | HK$16,000 to HK$90,000 |
| Lai Chi Kok / Cheung Sha Wan | HK$2,800 to HK$5,500 | HK$9,500 to HK$33,000 |

Why does Central cost more?
Because Central is the financial district of one of the world’s top three financial centres, and its land and office space are priced accordingly.
- A top-three financial centre. The Global Financial Centres Index 39 (March 2026) ranks Hong Kong third in the world, one rating point behind London and two behind New York, and first in Asia-Pacific. Central is where that business is done.
- The most expensive land ever sold. According to Guinness World Records, the most expensive plot of land ever sold is 2 Murray Road in Central: HK$23.28 billion in May 2017, roughly HK$750,000 per square foot of site area.
- Among the world’s most expensive offices. In Savills’ comparison of occupier costs in 35 office markets, reported in February 2025, Hong Kong was the second most expensive office market in the world, after London’s West End and ahead of Midtown Manhattan.
- The gap is growing. CBRE’s Q1 2026 office figures (April 2026) put the quarter’s Grade A rent growth in Central at 5.9%, while rents in all major decentralised districts kept falling.
What the higher price buys at Ooosh Central:
- A Grade A address in the core of Central. Our space is on the 22nd floor of New World Tower, a Grade A office building on Queen’s Road Central, three minutes from Central MTR Exit G and surrounded by multinational banks and professional firms. A Queen’s Road Central address on your website and letterhead tells clients where you stand. For client-facing firms, that is often worth more than the price difference.
- Being next to your clients. Meetings across the street replace trips across the harbour.
- A higher service level. Central private offices come with a dedicated receptionist and IT support, and Central plans include premium beverages.
Lai Chi Kok and Island East cost less because you pay for the workspace, not the postcode. Our Lai Chi Kok space is in Lai Cheong Factory Building in Cheung Sha Wan, five minutes from Lai Chi Kok MTR Exit B1. Island East is in Eastern Central Plaza, Shau Kei Wan, six minutes from Sai Wan Ho MTR Exit B.
So the choice comes down to what the address and the commute are worth to you:
- Central is the ideal district for serving high-net-worth clients and customers, and suits any client-facing business that meets in Central or wants a Central address. See Ooosh Central.
- Island East suits teams living on the eastern side of Hong Kong Island and anyone who wants a private office from HK$5,000 a month. See Ooosh Island East.
- Lai Chi Kok suits Kowloon-based teams and anyone paying for a desk out of their own pocket. See Ooosh Lai Chi Kok.
What extra fees should you ask about?
The monthly rate is only part of the bill. These are the extras we found in the August 2026 survey, and what Ooosh does:
| Fee | What we found at other operators | Ooosh |
|---|---|---|
| Deposit | About two months’ fees at all 10 operators | Refundable; deductions only for breach of contract or damage |
| Setup or admin fee | Charged by 5 of 10 operators; one quoted a non-refundable setup fee per room | None; no setup or move-in fees |
| Utilities and building charges | Charged separately by some operators | Electricity, management fees, government rent and rates, internet, pantry supplies and basic cleaning are included |
| Meeting room hours beyond the quota | Charged at about HK$200–400 an hour where quoted | Private Desk and Private Office members get meeting room credits |
| After-hours air-conditioning or utilities | Charged by 5 of 10 operators | 24/7 air-conditioning is included in Lai Chi Kok private offices; not offered in Central or Island East |
| Printing | Charged per page (about HK$1–2 where quoted) | Printing quota on some memberships (not Hot Desk passes); ask us for rates |
Tip: Ask every operator for the total first-month cost in writing: deposit, setup fee, first month’s fee, and any fixed monthly charges. Then compare that figure, not the headline rate.
Before you sign anywhere, also check the access hours, the notice period and what happens to the deposit at the end. Our checklist for choosing a coworking space in Hong Kong covers the rest.
