Ottawa's coworking scene has grown well beyond the downtown core, with independent community hubs in Little Italy and Vanier sitting alongside national flex-office chains in Centretown and the Kanata North tech park. This list was put together from operator websites, public business listings, and customer reviews on Google and Trustpilot. Web searches in August 2026 turned up eight spaces that could be verified as currently operating in the Ottawa area, so that is what is included below rather than padding the list to ten.
1. Impact Hub Ottawa
Area: Downtown, 123 Slater Street (6th floor) · Rating: 4.7 on Google (89 reviews)
Impact Hub is a community-driven coworking space built around social-impact and nonprofit work, with a mix of open desks, quiet corners, meeting rooms, and event space. Reviewers consistently mention the natural light, plants, and a strong sense of community built through regular workshops and networking events. It suits founders and freelancers who want a values-aligned space rather than a purely transactional desk rental.
2. Coworkly
Area: Vanier (261 Montreal Road) and Westboro · Rating: 5.0 on Google (54 reviews)
Coworkly runs two Ottawa locations and offers flex desks, dedicated desks, and fully serviced private offices on month-to-month terms. The Montreal Road location has high-end video and livestreaming equipment plus free onsite parking for 40 cars, which reviewers flag as a rarity in the city's coworking market. It's a fit for remote teams and solo professionals who want a quiet, well-equipped space without a downtown price tag.
3. Collabüro
Area: Little Italy, 499 Preston Street
Collabüro occupies 4,200 square feet across two fully renovated floors in Ottawa's Little Italy, with 24/7 secure access, private phone booths, several meeting and conference rooms, and event space that can hold groups from 6 to 120 people. It's built to double as an events venue as much as a daily workspace, so it suits businesses that host client meetings or community gatherings alongside regular desk work. Membership starts at $499/month.
4. CollabSpace
Area: Nepean (70 Bongard Avenue), with a second location in Kanata · Rating: 4.7 on Google (158 reviews)
CollabSpace bills itself as Ottawa's largest coworking and business community, with 24/7 access at its Nepean hub plus coworking desks, private offices, meeting rooms, and event space. Reviewers describe the on-site team as genuinely invested in helping members grow their businesses, and members get free website design and hosting through a partnership with WebFoundr. It suits entrepreneurs who want business support and networking baked into their membership, not just a desk.
5. Regus
Area: Multiple locations including Centretown (116 Lisgar Street), Preston Street, ByWard Market, and Kanata
Regus is the largest flexible workspace operator in Canada, and its Ottawa network spans downtown, Centretown, Preston Street, and Kanata, including a location inside the Fairmont Château Laurier steps from Parliament Hill. Its 116 Lisgar Street location sits directly across from Ottawa City Hall in a dense hub of public services and courts. It suits people who need day-pass flexibility or a professional address across several Ottawa neighbourhoods rather than one fixed community.
6. Spaces
Area: 208 Booth Street · Rating: 4.7 (113 reviews)
Spaces at 208 Booth Street blends a modern coworking fit-out with the building's industrial character, offering everything from hot desks to dedicated private offices plus barista coffee and high-speed Wi-Fi. Reviews are largely positive on the space and staff, though at least one reviewer flagged a slow refund of a retainer deposit, worth asking about before signing a longer contract. It works well for teams that want room to scale from a single hot desk into a private office as headcount grows.
7. Head Office Ottawa
Head Office runs a tiered membership system (ROAM, ROOT, FLOW, and HOME) ranging from a $25 day pass to a $399/month dedicated desk with 24/7 access and boardroom hours included. It also rents out event space and private offices for up to eight staff, and is dog-friendly. Member testimonials repeatedly mention the natural light and an atmosphere members describe as making them want to hang around after hours, which suits freelancers and small teams who want a social space as much as a productive one.
8. TCC Canada, The Innovation Centre
Area: Kanata North Business Park, 1000 Innovation Drive
Set inside a 150-acre tech campus in Canada's largest high-tech business park, this space has bay windows overlooking water and nature trails, a monitor at every coworking desk, phone booths, and semi-private lounges. Reviewers single out how clean, organized, and professional the space and staff are. It's the clear pick for anyone working in or around Kanata's tech corridor who wants a day pass or drop-in desk (from roughly $34/day) without the drive downtown.
How We Built This List
This list was compiled from public web sources, operator websites, and customer reviews on platforms including Google and Trustpilot, current as of August 2026. It is not a paid placement and no business on this list is affiliated with ottown or its operator. Ratings, review counts, and pricing are included only where they were directly verified in a source read during research; where a detail could not be confirmed, it was left out. Only eight coworking spaces could be verified as currently operating in the Ottawa area with sufficient public detail, so this list stops at eight rather than stretching to ten.
Sources consulted include Coworker.com, CoworkBooking, CoworkingMag, Trustpilot, and each operator's own website.
