tldr: 10 coworking spaces reviewed. best overall: 91springboard (rs 4,500-7,000/month, reliable chain). best value: coworkzone (rs 3,500/month hot desk). best premium: innov8 (rs 6,000-9,000/month, polished interiors). lucknow coworking is 50-70% cheaper than delhi. day passes available at most spaces for rs 300-500. full reviews below.
lucknow is not a city you’d typically associate with coworking culture. it’s the city of kebabs, nawabi architecture, and tehzeeb. but here’s what’s happening quietly: remote workers are discovering that lucknow offers an absurdly good cost-to-quality ratio for working remotely.
the math is simple. a 1bhk in gomti nagar costs rs 8,000-12,000/month. lunch at a decent restaurant runs rs 100-200. a coworking membership adds rs 4,000-6,000. your total monthly spend can stay under rs 20,000, which is what some people pay for rent alone in delhi or bangalore.
the coworking scene is still developing, with maybe 10-15 legitimate spaces scattered across gomti nagar, hazratganj, and vibhuti khand. some are national chains that brought their standardized quality to lucknow. others are local operators filling the gap. the quality varies, but the prices make experimentation painless.
i haven’t worked from these spaces personally. this guide is research-backed, compiled from google reviews, user feedback, and what i could verify about pricing and amenities.

detailed reviews
1. 91springboard, gomti nagar
the reliable chain / 8.5/10
91springboard is one of india’s most recognised coworking brands, and their lucknow outlet in gomti nagar delivers the consistency you’d expect from a national chain. the space is in one of lucknow’s most developed commercial areas, close to malls, restaurants, and well-connected by metro.
the setup follows 91springboard’s standard: clean interiors, ergonomic-ish chairs, multiple meeting rooms with AV equipment, phone booths for private calls, a pantry with unlimited tea and coffee, and printing facilities. the wifi is a dedicated 100 mbps leased line with a backup connection. power backup is through a DG set.
pricing:
- hot desk: rs 4,500/month
- dedicated desk: rs 7,000/month
- private cabin (4-seater): rs 14,000/month
- meeting room: rs 500/hour
- day pass: rs 400
what’s good: brand reliability. you know the wifi will work, the AC will be cold, and the power backup will kick in when needed. the gomti nagar location is excellent for food options. the community events (pitch sessions, networking meets) can be useful if you’re new to the city.
what’s not: the pricing is mid-to-high for lucknow standards. the space can feel corporate and formulaic. the community vibe depends heavily on who else is working there at the time.
best for: remote workers who need dependable infrastructure for client calls and presentations. if your employer provides a coworking stipend, this is a solid use of it.
2. innov8, gomti nagar
the premium pick / 8.5/10
innov8 (now part of the oyo ecosystem) brings a more design-forward coworking experience to lucknow. the interiors are the most polished you’ll find in the city, think vibrant colours, quirky wall art, instagram-friendly common areas, and furniture that looks like it was chosen by someone who actually cares about aesthetics.
but it’s not just looks. the wifi is solid at 100 mbps with a backup connection. the meeting rooms have good AV equipment. the phone booths are actually soundproofed. and the power backup is full DG, which matters during lucknow’s summer power fluctuations.
pricing:
- hot desk: rs 5,500/month
- dedicated desk: rs 9,000/month
- private cabin (4-seater): rs 16,000/month
- meeting room: rs 600/hour
- day pass: rs 500
what’s good: the best-looking coworking space in lucknow. the furniture quality is a step above most competitors. proper soundproofed phone booths. the common areas are actually comfortable for casual work.
what’s not: the most expensive option in lucknow by a fair margin. the “startup culture” aesthetic can feel forced. rs 9,000 for a dedicated desk is premium pricing in a city where you can get the same for rs 5,000.
best for: people who value aesthetics and premium amenities. teams that host client meetings at the office. anyone billing enough to justify the premium.
3. coworkzone, vibhuti khand
the value champion / 8/10
coworkzone is a local operator that gets the value proposition right. rs 3,500/month for a hot desk with 80 mbps wifi, AC, power backup, and tea/coffee included. the vibhuti khand location is a developing commercial area with decent infrastructure and food options within walking distance.
the space isn’t flashy. the furniture is functional, not designer. the walls are painted, not muralled. but everything works. the wifi holds up, the AC is cold, the chairs are comfortable enough for 8 hours, and the staff keeps the place clean.
pricing:
- hot desk: rs 3,500/month
- dedicated desk: rs 5,000/month
- private cabin (2-seater): rs 10,000/month
- day pass: rs 300
what’s good: the price-to-quality ratio is the best in lucknow. you’re getting a legitimate coworking experience for what some spaces charge for a day pass in delhi. vibhuti khand is less congested than gomti nagar. the community is a genuine mix of freelancers and startup founders.
what’s not: smaller space means it can get crowded. meeting room options are limited (one room, book in advance). the interiors won’t impress anyone visiting for a client meeting.
best for: freelancers, independent workers, and early-stage founders who want a functional workspace without paying for brand names.
4. workie, hazratganj
the central option / 7.5/10
workie’s hazratganj location puts you in the heart of lucknow. if you’re someone who likes to step out for lunch at lucknow’s legendary food spots or grab chaat from nearby stalls, the location is hard to beat. hazratganj is well-connected by metro and has its own charm as lucknow’s commercial hub.
the space itself is decent. standard coworking setup with open desks, a few cabins, one meeting room, and a pantry. the wifi is 80 mbps on fiber. the building is older, so the interiors have that “commercial building converted to coworking” feel rather than a purpose-built space.
pricing:
- hot desk: rs 4,000/month
- dedicated desk: rs 6,000/month
- private cabin: rs 12,000/month
- day pass: rs 350
what’s good: the location. hazratganj is central to most of lucknow and the food options during lunch breaks are exceptional. decent wifi and power backup. the pricing is reasonable for the location.
what’s not: the building feels dated compared to purpose-built spaces in gomti nagar. the meeting room situation is tight. noise from the commercial area can be a factor.
best for: people living in old lucknow or central lucknow who don’t want to commute to gomti nagar.
5. altf coworking, gomti nagar
the professional alternative / 8/10
altf is another national coworking chain that has expanded to lucknow. the gomti nagar outlet is professional, well-maintained, and positioned as a serious workspace rather than a startup hangout. the interiors are clean and corporate, the wifi is a dedicated 100 mbps line, and the meeting rooms have proper AV.
what sets altf apart from 91springboard is the slightly more formal atmosphere. the community leans toward established businesses and consulting firms rather than startup culture. if that’s your vibe, it works well.
pricing:
- hot desk: rs 5,000/month
- dedicated desk: rs 7,500/month
- private cabin (4-seater): rs 15,000/month
- meeting room: rs 500/hour
- day pass: rs 450
what’s good: professional environment, reliable 100 mbps wifi with backup, good meeting rooms for client calls, DG power backup. the space is well-maintained.
what’s not: the corporate vibe may feel stiff if you prefer casual environments. slightly more expensive than 91springboard for a similar offering. less of a community feel.
best for: consultants, lawyers, and professionals who need a formal business address and meeting space in lucknow.
6. myHQ workspaces, various locations
the flexible network / 7.5/10
myHQ isn’t a single coworking space but a network of partner workspaces. you buy a myHQ pass and can use any of their partner locations across lucknow (and other cities). the quality varies by location, but the flexibility of switching between spaces is the selling point.
pricing:
- hot desk: rs 3,500/month (network pass)
- dedicated desk: rs 5,500/month (single location)
- day pass: rs 300-400
what’s good: flexibility to work from different locations. the network model means you can try multiple spaces before settling. useful if you travel between cities. the app makes booking simple.
what’s not: quality varies significantly between partner locations. you’re dependent on the partner space’s wifi, AC, and amenities. some partner locations are just cafes or shared offices calling themselves coworking.
best for: people who travel between cities frequently or want to try multiple spaces before committing.
7. workx coworking, vibhuti khand
the local contender / 7.5/10
workx is a local coworking space in vibhuti khand that competes on price with coworkzone. the space is smaller but well-maintained, with functional furniture, decent wifi, and a quiet atmosphere that suits focused work.
pricing:
- hot desk: rs 3,500/month
- dedicated desk: rs 5,000/month
- private cabin: rs 9,000/month
- day pass: rs 250
what’s good: affordable pricing, quiet work environment, friendly staff. the day pass at rs 250 is the cheapest in lucknow. vibhuti khand location is convenient without the gomti nagar premium.
what’s not: smaller space with fewer amenities. wifi at 60 mbps is adequate but not impressive. limited meeting room options. no community events.
best for: freelancers who want a quiet, affordable workspace without distractions.
8. startup hub lucknow, aliganj
the budget option / 7/10
startup hub is the most affordable workspace on this list. located in aliganj, it caters to early-stage founders and students who need a workspace outside their homes. the setup is basic but functional. the pricing makes it accessible to people who can’t justify rs 5,000-7,000/month.
pricing:
- hot desk: rs 3,000/month
- dedicated desk: rs 4,500/month
- private cabin: rs 8,000/month
- day pass: rs 200
what’s good: the cheapest coworking option in lucknow. supportive staff. good for early-stage startups with mentorship connections. rs 3,000/month for a workspace with wifi and AC is remarkable value.
what’s not: aliganj location is far from gomti nagar and hazratganj. wifi at 50 mbps is the weakest on this list. power backup is inverter-only, not DG. the space feels more “shared office” than “coworking.”
best for: students, early-stage founders on tight budgets, and anyone in the aliganj area.
9. workspace republic, gomti nagar extension
the newer entrant / 7.5/10
workspace republic is a relatively newer space in gomti nagar extension. the interiors are modern, clean, and designed to feel more like a tech startup office than a traditional coworking space. the gomti nagar extension area is developing fast with new commercial buildings and residential complexes.
pricing:
- hot desk: rs 4,000/month
- dedicated desk: rs 6,500/month
- private cabin: rs 12,000/month
- day pass: rs 350
what’s good: modern interiors. good wifi at 80 mbps. full power backup. the gomti nagar extension area is less congested than gomti nagar proper. parking is easier.
what’s not: the space is still building its community. fewer food options in gomti nagar extension compared to the main gomti nagar area. limited track record.
best for: people living in gomti nagar extension or south lucknow who want a modern workspace close to home.
10. co-offiz, indira nagar
the chain in a quiet area / 7.5/10
co-offiz is a national chain with a presence in multiple cities. their lucknow outlet in indira nagar offers a professional coworking experience in a residential area. the space follows co-offiz’s standardized design, clean, functional, and designed for serious work.
pricing:
- hot desk: rs 4,500/month
- dedicated desk: rs 6,500/month
- private cabin: rs 13,000/month
- day pass: rs 400
what’s good: chain reliability. full DG power backup. good wifi at 80 mbps. the indira nagar location is quiet and residential, which suits focused work. professional meeting rooms.
what’s not: indira nagar is somewhat removed from lucknow’s commercial centers. fewer food options nearby compared to gomti nagar or hazratganj. the quiet location is a double-edged sword.
best for: professionals in the indira nagar area, or anyone who prefers a quiet neighbourhood over the bustle of gomti nagar.
what to look for in a coworking space in lucknow
power backup is non-negotiable. lucknow’s power situation has improved over the years, but cuts still happen, especially in summer. insist on spaces with DG (diesel generator) backup, not just inverter. an inverter gives you 30-60 minutes. a DG set can run all day.
test the wifi during peak hours. every space advertises “high-speed wifi.” the real test is whether it holds up between 2-4 pm when everyone’s on video calls. do a day pass trial before committing monthly.
gomti nagar vs everywhere else. most coworking options cluster in gomti nagar and vibhuti khand. if you live elsewhere, factor in commute time. lucknow traffic is not delhi-level bad, but auto-rickshaw negotiations add friction.
summer AC quality matters. lucknow summers hit 45+ degrees celsius. a coworking space with weak AC is unusable from april to june. check reviews specifically mentioning summer experience.
negotiate quarterly rates. almost every space offers 10-20% discounts on quarterly commitments and more on annual plans. don’t pay monthly if you’re sure about a space.
alternatives to coworking
if formal coworking doesn’t fit your workflow:
- cafes with wifi: lucknow has a growing cafe scene and spots like the cafe culture outlets have workable wifi for a few hours
- home broadband: jio fiber and airtel fiber are available in most of urban lucknow, with 100+ mbps plans from rs 700/month
- libraries: the state library and a few private reading rooms offer quiet work environments, though wifi is spotty
