Before You Book a Coworking Desk: A First-Visit Checklist for Ortigas
Your first coworking visit should start with a clear plan, not a guess about what a desk booking includes. A few details shared in advance help the team recommend an arrangement and give you a quote that matches your visit.
1. Send your date and complete schedule
Include the day, arrival time, expected finish time and number of people. If your session crosses midnight, give both calendar dates. Ask the team to confirm the hours and building access available for that period. An enquiry or an empty calendar does not mean a seat has been reserved.
2. Explain the kind of work you will do
Mention whether you will work quietly, take calls, practise a presentation or discuss work with others. Ask whether a desk is suitable or a separate room would be more appropriate. Explain privacy and noise requirements rather than assuming every area offers the same conditions.
3. Check the applicable rate and inclusions
The official website and FAQ, checked on October 22, 2026, list a student rate of PHP 70 per hour and a 2026 promotional rate of PHP 80 per hour. Day passes are PHP 250 for 4 hours, PHP 500 for 8 hours and PHP 750 for 16 hours. Confirm which rate applies, eligibility and the hours covered by your booking.
If you need a conference room, its listed rate is PHP 1,000 for the first hour and PHP 500 for each succeeding hour. Room use is separate from a desk pass. Ask about equipment, refreshments, printing or other services instead of assuming they are included.
4. Confirm before paying or travelling
Ask for the total quote and the official payment instructions. Check deposit or advance-payment requirements, cancellation and rescheduling terms, and how extensions are handled. Wait for the team to confirm your reservation and arrival instructions; sending a payment screenshot alone is not proof of a confirmed booking.
5. Pack for the work you planned
Bring your laptop, charger, headphones and required materials. For a call or presentation, check connection and equipment needs beforehand and bring necessary adapters. Keep a backup plan for essential online work. Do not rely on unconfirmed technical support or equipment.
6. Set one clear outcome for the visit
Decide what you want to finish before you arrive. Keep calls and conversations considerate of others, follow house rules and check before extending your stay. If you plan to return regularly, ask about monthly options and compare them with your actual attendance.
