Let’s start with the vibe. This isn’t your average plug-and-play setup. Picture cocoon-style swings that double up as quirky pods for calls, plush armchairs that beg you to stay a little longer, and more than enough sockets to keep your devices alive. Add high-speed WiFi and floor-to-ceiling windows letting in natural light, and you’ve got yourself a work zone that actually makes productivity feel, dare we say, fun.
Need a breather between meetings? The space is built for it. Head to the arcade section for a cheeky game or plug into your creative side at the cassette bar and vinyl station, it’s retro, it’s weirdly soothing, and it’s not something your average office offers.
Books, Bites and Boutique Finds
Got a bookworm’s heart? The library’s waiting, with over 10,000 books lining its shelves. Whether you’re into business biographies or niche travel reads, you’ll find something to flip through between Zoom calls.
And food? Sorted. Two in-house cafés serve up everything from flat whites to flaky pastries and full-on lunch plates, so you can fuel up without leaving your comfy corner. Just one order from the café gives you full access to this workspace, no booking, no faff.
There’s also a boutique store, Lilau, tucked neatly into the space. It’s packed with artsy souvenirs and stylish knick-knacks. Forgot to grab a gift before that client meeting? Sorted.
Why 25hours Hotel Co-Working Hits Different
This place doesn’t try too hard, it’s just effortlessly cool. There’s something unpretentious yet purposefully creative about the setup. Whether you’re a freelancer, remote worker, startup founder, or just someone who can’t face another day at your dining table, it delivers the right mix of function and flair.
The space offers more than WiFi and good coffee. It sparks conversation, creativity, and the occasional competitive round of pinball. You’re just as likely to bump into an entrepreneur as you are a traveller catching up on emails before heading to the airport.
And yes, the whole thing is free, as long as you grab a coffee or snack. Fair deal, right?

If you’ve been hunting for a workspace that doesn’t feel like a chore, you’ll want to set up shop at 25hours Hotel One Central. With cocoon swings, vinyl records, arcade games, and enough books to lose yourself in, this isn’t just co-working. It’s co-living. And it’s one cup of coffee away.
