L'Atelier Coworking - Vancouver, British Columbia

Ads

I hate to bash on local businesses, but I honestly don't feel the same magic or spark that I've seen in reviews.
I can clearly see how this joint used to be somebody's world, but I really think it's lacked the continuity and in need of some desperate TLC. The facilities are either broken or far and few between, old monitors which are dusty and dirty, a single standing desk riser which doesn't decline and extremely stiff. The kitchen in my opinion is gross and not comfortable or clean. The office was also extremely stuffy and not well ventilated, the lighting is also lacking and it's dimly lit.
The hostess was nice, but extremely inattentive and you have to work out everything by yourself. I was told to sit in the incorrect area as she never actually checked my reservation which I paid more for a dedicated desk.

Bright and sunny. They were quite flexible in terms of options for my two week stay in Vancouver.
Staff were helpful, answering questions after hours really helped me out.

Facilities are excellent. Comfortable chair+desk (ergonomic, able to sit a have arms at 90 degree angle). Large desk with lots of room. Coffee, tea, fridge all well maintained / stocked

Lots of spots around for lunch, coffee

Highly recommend

I've been a member at L'Atelier for the past couple of months and I'm extremely happy to get to use this space. First, the cost of membership is reasonable and a terrific value when you compare it against other co-working spaces in Vancouver. L'Atelier is centrally located in Gastown so it's easy to get to and there are many good restaurants and coffee shops nearby. The staff is relaxed, friendly, and always helpful. The other co-working members are friendly and it's quiet enough that you can concentrate on whatever you are working on. If you look carefully at my photo, that's my dog, Buddy... yes, the space in dog friendly! Overall, it's a place you should definitely visit and check out if you're looking for co-working space in Vancouver.

I've been to almost all co-working spaces in Vancouver and L'Atelier is so far my favourite and best co-working space in Downtown Vancouver.

- Management is top-notch.
- Great location in the heart of Downtown Vancouver.
- The space is really well organized, bright and spacious.
- Good variety of phone boots and meeting rooms of different sizes.
- They frequently organize fun events for members to let everyone get a chance to meet and connect with each other.

I highly recommend this place.

This co-working space is absolutely great. I have been using this office for almost 3 months as a dedicated desk member. Here are my observations:

(1) The general manager, Lynn, is very friendly and helpful. You feel that you are a part of the community on your first day.
(2) The office is bright, spacious, clean and safe.
(3) We have many options for our calls/meetings such as meeting rooms, telephone rooms, so no one distracts each other. That’s why we can work productively. There is also soft music on the background, which helps me to relax and focus on work.
(4) All members are warm and friendly, also respectful to each other.
(5) They sometimes organize events for members such as pizza day, escape room, etc. These events allow you to engage with different people from different backgrounds and also to have fun.
(6) The location is Gastown (what else can I say, it is beautiful!) There are many coffee shops and restaurants around, so having a short break during lunchtime changes your mood immediately.

I highly recommend L’Atelier! The office is very clean, spacious and has a laid back, yet professional atmosphere. The space has all the essentials (multiple meeting rooms, phone rooms, kitchen, printer/copier etc.) and the hot desk work area is very large and always has plenty of open space. The permanent desks are the perfect size, have great lighting, come with a lockable filing cabinet and very comfortable chairs — they even come with an awesome little journal! The location has plenty of character and is easy to get to from basically anywhere. Can’t recommend it enough!

I've been co-working at L'Atelier for over 2 years, and have had a dedicated desk here for the last year. Here's why I chose L'Atelier over other co-working options.
1) The space is beautiful and the location is great. There are so many coffee shops and restaurants nearby.
2) The community is great. I like that it's targeted at individual creative professionals rather than other spaces that are filled with startup teams.
3) It's dog friendly! I bring my dog everyday and she sleeps under the desk while I work.

I highly recommend you come and check out the space!

Love our office days at L'Atelier!

This co-working space on my favourite corner in the city (Cambie and Hastings). I call it my "Corner of Requirement" because of all the great restaurants and coffee shops nearby. But enough about the neighbourhood.

The staff at L'Atelier are super friendly and supportive. The space itself is comfortable and quiet - super conducive to getting a ton of work done or meeting with a larger team. Different levels of membership and rentals available are reasonable depending on what your needs are. I particularly appreciate the sense of camaraderie created with the chalk board of inspiration and motivation, and the table that regularly houses shareable snacks!
