Looking for a day office Edinburgh professionals can book for a single day — no lease, no membership, no setup? You have five solid options across the city, from Princes Street in the centre to the business parks out at South Gyle. This guide covers what each one costs, who runs it, and when a day office beats a hot desk or a meeting room. For the wider picture, see our complete guide to day offices.
A day office is a private, lockable room you rent by the day. You get a door that closes, a desk, fast wifi and usually access to meeting rooms and a café — without signing anything longer than a booking. In Edinburgh, daily rates run from £66 to about £143, depending on the operator and the address.

The 5 best day office Edinburgh options on Wezoo
1. Princes Street — Regus
Sitting at 83 Princes Street with the castle and the gardens on your doorstep, this Regus floor is about as central as Edinburgh gets. Trams and Waverley station are a short walk away, so clients arriving by rail or from the airport land almost at the door. Private day offices here hold up to 21 people and start from £114 per day. Book Princes Street on Wezoo.
2. 93 George Street — Regus
One street back from Princes Street, George Street runs through the heart of the New Town’s Georgian grid — the address that tells a client you are established. Rooms here take up to 23 people and start from £114 per day. It is a strong pick for board meetings or a day of back-to-back interviews where the setting matters. Book 93 George Street on Wezoo.
3. South Gyle — Regus
Out at Westpoint in South Gyle, this is the value choice and the one to book when the team is driving in or flying through. Edinburgh Airport, the Gyle interchange and the city bypass are all close, with free parking on site — rare in the centre. Day offices start from £66 per day for up to 21 people, the lowest rate in the city on Wezoo. Book South Gyle on Wezoo.
4. 1 Lochrin Square — Spaces
Spaces at Lochrin Square in Tollcross brings a brighter, design-led feel — exposed brick, good coffee, an energetic floor. It is a five-minute walk from the west end of Princes Street and suits creative teams or a workshop day that wants room to spread out, with private offices for up to 51 people. Day rates start from £142.80. Book 1 Lochrin Square on Wezoo.
5. 6 Waterloo Place — Signature
At the east end of Princes Street, Signature’s 6 Waterloo Place is a restored period building steps from Waverley station and Calton Hill. It leans polished and quiet — a good fit for client-facing days and confidential meetings. Rooms hold up to 25 people, with day rates from £142.80. Book 6 Waterloo Place on Wezoo.
When should you choose a day office over a hot desk or meeting room?
Pick the room to the job. A day office wins when you need privacy and a base for several hours; a hot desk wins when you just need a seat and wifi; a meeting room wins when you only need a couple of hours with a group. The cheapest desk costs you the most when the call that matters goes wrong.
| Option | Best for | Priced per | Privacy |
|---|---|---|---|
| Day office | A private base for a full or half day | Day | Private, lockable |
| Hot desk | Solo work, a seat and wifi | Day | Shared floor |
| Meeting room | A group, for a couple of hours | Hour | Private, by the hour |
If your needs stretch beyond a single day, a day office is one rung on a ladder of flexible office guide options that runs from hourly meeting rooms up to monthly private offices. Teams that travel between cities often pair an Edinburgh booking with a day office rental in London, and the same pattern works for day offices in Aberdeen.
What are day offices in Edinburgh best for?
A day office Edinburgh booking suits the in-between days: client visits, interview rounds, board meetings, project sprints and the days when a hybrid worker needs a quiet, private space that home cannot offer. With remote and hybrid working now standard across the UK — the Office for National Statistics tracks the steady share of hybrid workers — booking a room for the day has become the normal way to handle the days that need a real office.
