The new-age digital jobs are moving people out of corporate office buildings and into their personal space. More and more freelancers and remote workers are seen occupying spaces like cafes and libraries. Some hotels also cater for digital nomads, like the Sheraton in Zagreb, which is on our list of best hotels in Croatia. Rental offices, aware of this trend, decided to adapt to this new demand. They started offering individual spaces, desks, rooms, etc., instead of entire office blocks for rent. Today, coworking spaces can be found in every corner of the world, especially in major cities like Zagreb. Here are our eight favourite (and one not-so-great) coworking spaces:
- HUB385
- Impact Hub Zagreb
- Regus HOTO
- Virtual Office
- ZICER
- InstantOffice
- BIZkoshnica
- (AVOID) Travel&Tech Hub
- (AVOID) Corner Office
Our Favourite Coworking Space in Zagreb Is HUB385
Source: HUB385
HUB385 is possibly the most well-rounded coworking space in Zagreb.
It has a decent amount of desks, private offices, conference rooms, and event spaces to choose from. At its heart, the centre is dedicated to learning, innovation, and sharing ideas. It hosts many community events, educational courses, and workshops for different generations and skill levels.
The interior design is a modern workspace with splashes of colour, giving it a more friendly and casual vibe. compared to regular corporate offices. There are plenty of packages to choose from, but the space is rather popular, so you should look to reserve in advance. They offer a “Virtual Office” service, with perks such as:
- A corporate address
- Reception services
- Brand recognition by the company
- Discounts and bonuses to use within their workspace
This is ideal for anyone with a small company looking for a place to call home. The prices are also reasonable compared to similar spaces.

Here Are Some Other Awesome Coworking Spaces in Zagreb
Impact Hub Zagreb
Impact Hub is a global brand of workspaces with stations on pretty much every corner of the globe.
The Zagreb branch is part of its well-organized community, and members have access to worldwide connections. Their office spaces are our top recommendation for smaller coworking groups (6–10) people. The group package prices are unmatched. Within them, you’ll find everything a team would need:
- Projectors
- Whiteboards
- Flipcharts
- TV screens
The office spaces are known for their “less is more” approach, with a simple interior that’s kept tidy and clean. Impact Hub Zagreb also hosts learning and entertainment events, such as workshops, debates, courses, and more. Their location in the city of Zagreb is also as good as it gets, being just outside the city centre.

Regus HOTO

Regus is another global chain, with 3000 office spaces for rent worldwide. They have two places in Zagreb. The one we will mention is known as Regus HOTO (the name of the business tower) or Regus Savska (the name of the street where it’s located in). The space is top-notch, professional-looking and clean.
The interior is modern and roomy, with big windows allowing lots of natural light inside. The minimal design does not distract, although it may be too bland and corporate-looking for some people. We know young entrepreneurs and freelancers prefer a more casual, laid-back office setting. The prices are also a bit high compared to some other great spaces. Still, it’s worth checking out.

InstantOffice

The InstantOffice coworking space is located on the 5th floor of the gorgeous Zagreb Tower. The space and the offer are modest, but they shouldn’t be underestimated. The interior is elegant, with wood being the primary decoration material.
Users have access to a great kitchen and lounge area, where they can relax and socialize in between working sessions. They offer individual walk-in and dedicated desks and daily private offices for rent.
However, if you’re looking for an office long-term, you’ll have to inquire about those. This also goes for conference and event rooms. The company also offers services such as Virtual Office spaces, Cloud servers, landline and fax numbers, etc.

BIZkoshnica

The clever play on words in the name of this space can be read as “Bees Hive”:
- BIZ is short for Biznis (Business) and pronounced similar to “Bees”
- “Kosnica” meaning “Hive” when translated
The idea behind it is to share space, knowledge, and work between freelancers, startups, entrepreneurs, and other like-minded people. Individuals or small groups will find themselves at home in BIZkoshnica. That being said, the space is limited and functions on a first-come, first-served basis, meaning it can get full. It’s definitely not recommended for larger groups. The interior is nice and colourful, and there is a full kitchen and relaxation room where you can take a break. The owners do go out of their way to organize social and learning events as well. The drawbacks are a lack of ergonomic furniture and corporate-like working hours.
