Coworking in Budapest: Day Pass Prices With VAT, Hours and Weekend Options

A coworking day pass in Budapest costs 6,350 to 14,000 HUF with VAT (about $19 to $43) at the six spaces below, and they keep office hours, roughly 8:00 or 9:00 to 17:00 or 18:00. Liftoff, two minutes from Nyugati station, is the cheapest full day at 6,350 HUF, KAPTÁR near the Basilica takes walk-ins with no registration, and when most spaces close on Saturday, the central public library sells a 1,700 HUF day ticket with Wi-Fi until 16:00.

One number to watch: most Hungarian coworkings publish prices without the 27% VAT. The “5,000 HUF” on a price list is 6,350 HUF at the desk, so every figure on this page is the gross price you actually pay.

Prices are in HUF, which is what you pay at the desk or online. Converted at 1 USD = 328 HUF, the ECB rate on 11 November 2026. Rates move, so treat the dollar figures as indicative. KAPTÁR sets its prices in euros; the forint figure is the same ECB rate (1 EUR = 365 HUF).

Where an operator lists a net price, the gross figure here adds the 27% VAT, rounded to the forint: Liftoff 5,000 + VAT, KUBIK 5,450 + VAT, KAPTÁR 18 EUR + VAT, Baobab 8,000 + VAT. Impact Hub and Create.26 publish the gross figure.

Central desks in District VI: KAPTÁR, Liftoff and Create.26

These three sit in Terézváros, the district most visitors stay in or walk through, between Andrássy út and the Grand Boulevard. If your apartment is near the Opera, the Basilica or Nyugati, you can be at a desk in ten minutes.

KAPTÁR, Révay köz 4

KAPTÁR runs a coworking on two floors in a lane between St Stephen’s Basilica and the Opera, with a hot-desk floor, call rooms and meeting rooms you can step into for a short call when they are free. Its full-day ticket covers 8:00 to 18:00 and its half-day ticket either 8:00 to 14:00 or 12:00 to 18:00, and both carry the line every visitor wants to read: no prior registration needed, just show up.

Who it suits: anyone who decides at breakfast that today is a work day, and people with video calls, since the space has dedicated call rooms and advertises enterprise-class Wi-Fi on two internet gateways. The trade-off: it prices in euros plus VAT, which makes the real cost harder to see than at the forint-priced spaces: 18 EUR + VAT is 22.86 EUR, about 8,350 HUF. Specialty coffee is an add-on rather than part of the day ticket.

Tip: for one long call in the morning, the half day at 17.78 EUR with VAT covers you until 14:00.

Liftoff, Weiner Leó utca 4

Liftoff is a small coworking two minutes from Nyugati station; ring bell 220 at the gate. The day membership costs 5,000 HUF + VAT, so 6,350 HUF, and it includes unlimited coffee and tea, printing and scanning, a lockable cabinet, height-adjustable desks and a dining room with a fridge and microwave.

Who it suits: budget-minded remote workers who want a quiet day. The height-adjustable desks let you stand through the afternoon. The trade-off: you book the day online, and the space opens Monday to Friday, 9:00 to 18:00 only.

Create.26, Király utca 26

Create.26 is a coworking and office building on Király utca, the street that runs from Deák tér into the Jewish Quarter. Its day pass is sold through its own webshop at 14,000 HUF with VAT included, for access from 9:00 to 17:00. The price covers a desk in the coworking room or the community area, a backup internet line, ten printed pages, the rest and games rooms, and an all-day kitchen run of coffee, tea, soda, syrups and biscuits.

Who it suits: a visitor who wants one comfortable, catered day and is happy to pay for it. The trade-off: it is the most expensive day pass here by a distance, and its day ends at 17:00, earlier than the rest. Meeting rooms cost extra and are booked through reception.

Quieter spaces in Újlipótváros and Buda: KUBIK, Impact Hub and Baobab

The other three sit a short ride from the center: two in Újlipótváros (District XIII), the residential quarter north of the Parliament, and one in Újbuda (District XI) on the Buda side.

KUBIK, Jászai Mari tér 5-6

KUBIK occupies a building at the Pest end of Margaret Bridge, within walking distance of the Parliament. A full day costs 5,450 HUF + VAT, so 6,922 HUF, from 8:00 to 18:00 on weekdays, and KUBIK’s own instruction for day users is simple: arrive in the morning, choose a free desk and start. The ticket includes a morning coffee or tea, an hour in a meeting room and the phone room.

Who it suits: visitors staying in District V or XIII who want a central desk at a low price. The trade-off: the coffee in the price is one cup, not a bottomless pot.

Tip: the five-hour ticket at 3,850 HUF + VAT, so 4,890 HUF, is the cheapest paid way to try a Budapest coworking, and it keeps the meeting-room hour and the coffee.

Impact Hub Budapest, Babér utca 1-5

Impact Hub sits in Danubius Ház, a large old building in Újlipótváros, and belongs to the global Impact Hub network. Its day pass costs 8,255 HUF with VAT included, you can pay in cash or by card, and the hub states plainly that you can come and work without booking during its hours, Monday to Friday, 9:00 to 18:00. The hub also runs community events.

Who it suits: nomads who want people to talk to as much as a desk, and anyone who already belongs to an Impact Hub elsewhere: members with a coworking package can use any Impact Hub three days a year, after filling in the hub’s visit form, which it answers within four to five business days. The trade-off: it is further out than the District VI spaces, and it opens on weekdays only.

Tip: before you buy anything, Impact Hub also offers a free visit after online registration: a tour of the space, use of the coworking facilities and any events running that day.

Baobab Coworking Oasis, Kemenes utca 14

Baobab is a small coworking on a side street in Újbuda, a short walk from Gellért tér and the Gellért Baths. The day ticket costs 8,000 HUF + VAT, so 10,160 HUF, and covers coffee, tea, filtered water, printing and scanning, a lockable locker and Wi-Fi on two internet providers with a backup power supply. It opens Monday to Friday, 8:00 to 18:00, and is closed on Saturday and Sunday.

Who it suits: visitors staying in Buda, around Gellért Hill or the Bartók Béla út cafes. The trade-off: as a single day it is the second most expensive pass here.

Tip: the pass for four visits within a month costs 16,000 HUF + VAT, so 20,320 HUF, which is exactly the price of two single days. If you might come back even twice, buy the four. Coworkers aged 26 or under get 10% off.

Weekends and evenings: where to work when the coworkings close

Five of these six spaces sell day passes for weekdays only, and Create.26 does not say which days its pass covers, so a Saturday work session needs a plan B. Two good ones:

The Metropolitan Ervin Szabó Library, the central branch of Budapest’s public library, at Reviczky utca 1 in District VIII, behind the National Museum. It opens Monday to Friday from 10:00 to 20:00 and on Saturdays from 10:00 to 16:00, and it is closed on Sundays. A day ticket costs 1,700 HUF, and day-ticket holders use the library Wi-Fi on their own devices for free. Part of the library sits in the Wenckheim Palace, so your desk may come with a gilded ceiling. On weekdays it also covers the evening, two hours past the coworkings’ closing time.

Espresso Embassy, Arany János utca 15 in District V, for a Sunday. It opens Monday to Friday from 7:30 to 17:00 and on Saturdays and Sundays from 8:30 to 17:00. Its house rule matters for anyone with a laptop: at weekends and on holidays, laptops go on the communal tables only. Come early if you want a seat at those tables.

Staying a week or a month: multi-day passes

If you are in Budapest for more than a few days, a single day pass is the most expensive way to work. These passes are the ones that suit a visitor, because they count days rather than calendar months or tie you to a contract.

Pass	Price with VAT	Valid for	Per day
Liftoff, 4 days	22,860 HUF (about $70)	5 weeks	5,715 HUF
Liftoff, 10 days	48,260 HUF (about $147)	5 weeks	4,826 HUF
KUBIK EASY, 6 full days	32,322 HUF (about $99)	3 months	5,387 HUF
KUBIK MEDIUM, 11 full days	53,912 HUF (about $164)	3 months	4,901 HUF
Baobab, 4 visits	20,320 HUF (about $62)	1 month	5,080 HUF
Baobab, 8 visits	36,830 HUF (about $112)	1 month	4,604 HUF

Converted at 1 USD = 328 HUF, the ECB rate on 11 November 2026; rates move. The per-day figure assumes you use every day of the pass.

For a full month, Baobab’s monthly pass costs 49,000 HUF + VAT, so 62,230 HUF, and KUBIK and Liftoff sell monthly memberships too. KAPTÁR’s passes renew automatically every 30 days until you cancel by email, which suits a long stay better than a two-week trip.

Practical tips for a coworking day in Budapest

• Do the VAT sum before you compare. Multiply any “+ VAT” or “+ ÁFA” price by 1.27. A space that looks 1,000 HUF cheaper on its website can end up costing more at the desk.
• Pick the space by your calls. KAPTÁR and KUBIK both list call rooms or a phone room; at the others, bring headphones and be ready to step out.
• Check your data plan. Every space here has Wi-Fi, but you will want mobile data between them; our Hungary SIM and eSIM guide explains when you need to buy nothing at all.
• Mind the weekday rhythm. The coworkings close at 17:00 or 18:00. If you work to a time zone behind Budapest’s, plan the late afternoon at the library, open until 20:00 on weekdays, or from your room.
• Choose a base near your desk. If you will work most days, sleep near the space. Our Buda or Pest guide and the district guides for Terézváros, Újlipótváros and Újbuda help you match the two.

After the laptop closes

A coworking day ends early enough to save the evening for the city. On a gray afternoon, our rainy day guide has indoor plans close to all three districts, and English-language cinema and theater in Budapest covers a night out that needs no Hungarian.
