A Hot Desk at Republikken gives you weekday access to the coworking café on Vesterbrogade 26 in Vesterbro. 1.300 kr/month ex-VAT, one month notice, no long-term commitment. Espresso, coffee and tea included. Kitchen, printing, Makerspace access, 40% off meeting rooms, and a community that’s been at it since 2005.
It’s Tuesday and it’s your third day in Republikken’s café this month. You know the espresso machine. You know that the corner table by the window gets the sun from 11. You know the woman at the next table is building a Copenhagen fintech. Your subscription runs by the month. You can leave any time on a month’s notice. You haven’t wanted to yet.
By lunch you’ll have used the printer for a contract, run a call in one of the smaller meeting rooms (40% off with the membership), and had lunch at the shared table with three people you didn’t know at the start of the year. You go home at 5 with the day’s work done. Tomorrow you come back. Or you don’t. The café is here Monday to Friday, 8 to 17 (more for membes), and you choose which days count.
That’s what a Hot Desk at Republikken is for: a real workplace in Copenhagen, on the days you want one, without an office lease.
Who takes a Hot Desk with us
Three kinds of people show up on a Tuesday morning:
- Freelancers past the daypass stage (working from
home some days but wanting a real desk more than a few times a month)
who like the maths of a monthly plan. - Founders in the early months (before hiring, before
an office) who want a professional setting for calls, a printer for
contracts, and a community to bounce ideas off. - Consultants and solo creatives who need to be in
Copenhagen regularly but don’t need a fixed desk of their own.
What they share: they want weekday coworking with none of the friction of a long lease, and none of the isolation of home.
What it costs
1.300 kr/month ex-VAT. One tier, weekday access. One month notice, to the 1st of the month. No long-term commitment.

Good to know

office. - 1 month notice to the 1st of the month if you

hours or 250 kr for 8 lets you feel the café for a day first.
How to get started
Four ways, in the order most people use them:
- Try a daypass first to feel the café. Walk in any
weekday between 8 and 17. 150 kr for 4 hours, 250 kr for 8,
incl. VAT. - Book a tour through the coworking café page on
republikken.net, 30 minutes with a community manager. - Email info@republikken.net with your questions or
to start your Hot Desk. We come back the same day. - Phone +45 88 300 122 between 8 and 17 on
weekdays.
If you start from a daypass, tell reception on your way out and we’ll switch you to a Hot Desk from the next 1st of the month.
Twenty years on Vesterbrogade
Republikken has been a coworking community since 2005. The café has hosted freelancers writing their first product, founders raising their first round, consultants running solo practices, and creatives who make things they can’t fit at home. Twenty years in, we still take it personally when someone walks in one Tuesday and stays for a year.
