Staff are described as friendly and helpful across many reviews, and the diverse, engaging member community is a recurring draw. Good Wi-Fi, meeting booths, monitor loans, and venue hire for events are valued practical features.

I had an evening meeting here. The snacks, drinks, and hot beverages were quite good. There are separate rooms on different levels of the establishment. Their WiFi connection is also quite good.

I was in Edinburgh for an overnight stop and needed a place to work. I got a day pass and added the loan of a monitor. I also used one of the meeting booths to make a call. All in all, a comfortable, well equipped work space in a handy location. Various cafés etc nearby for lunch. Highly recommended.
