Great place, love that its 24 hours access. Great community and people working in this Co-Working space, lot of events, and the price wont break the bank.
Raw Space has been everything I've hoped for in a co-working space- blazing fast internet, Gloucester Road location and a really friendly group of co-workers - what more do you want!? As a space and community it's got a huge personality and I've loved getting to know people here. Emma and Gareth are constantly improving the space and running regular social events. The work areas are really varied with some being quieter and others being more social areas and as people move around from day to day it doesn’t feel like you’re taking someones desk. The best co-working in Bristol, thanks guys.
A great hot desking environment that has everything you need to get out of the lonely WFH cycle. Co-working is great here and helped me massively from a productivity point of view and also mentally. It's a place that's been designed specifically for coworkers and filling in gaps that you can't get at home.
Great coworking space on Gloucester Road. Cosy space where you focus and get things done.
Great functional space and people, very accessible! Super useful to have a 24h access for odd working hours, and management is extremely friendly.
Raw Space is a welcoming, warm, comfortable place to work (and very reasonably priced compared to other co-working spaces). I would recommend to those looking for friendly places to work outside the house!
Lovely welcoming space. Great location. Cosy meeting room – we'll be back!
I have loved co-working at RAW. Emma was helpful and flexible in enabling us to find the right membership that we needed. Everyone is friendly and I have really valued the community atmosphere which makes work so much more enjoyable. It's an easy place to hot desk from and the socials have been great.
I have been a member of space at Raw Space for over 3 years now. It is a really nice place to work. There is a real sense of community and great events after work. The space is great and the people are great. I thoroughly recommend it!
Been a member for over a year and Raw Space is a lovely coworking space. Very welcoming, friendly and helpful community. I hotdesk 2 days a week which is flexible. If I only come in one day then the next week I can come in 3 days which is perfect for me.
Did a 7-day trial with Raw Space and although I haven't joined yet, it was fab. Lovely people, nice space and affordable for a coworking space. Nice community vibe which is attractive too!
Fantastic shared space with a friendly blend of people, a great use of space and different ambiance levels and separate call spaces, all the amenitieslots of extra curricular activities like swift pints, summer barbecues on the roof space and a weekly poker night full of absolutely terrible players, a real community to be a part of
Have been renting desk space at Raw Space now for almost a year, i love the community vibes and relaxed nature of the working environment. Look forward to working here for many years to come.
I became a member after a week's trial at Raw Space. It's really a friendly space with a good mix of community feel and the coworking space to work. They allow members to borrow monitors, have strong wifi, and a bright and airy office space.
I had a free 7 day trial at the space. What a wonderful idea?
Emma was lovely, explaining the facilities, what they offered and answered all my queries-without trying to sell. She has a great approach, personable, understanding and helpful. I really enjoyed the conversation. She explained how RAW could meet my needs.
It is in a great location and the 24 hour access really appealed to me. I had lovely conversations with other co-workers and really liked the community atmosphere they have created at the space. There are great membership options to suit all needs. I found the main space too small and was happy to see they have another space with natural light which felt more relaxed and airy. They also have a small outdoor space. There are free hot drinks and they welcome dogs!
During the day it can get a little noisy, nothing that some ear pods can't solve and it is quite compact as a working space.
I am still working out logistics with my current job as I've just arrived in Bristol, and need to see what is the best option.
If you're looking for a great atmosphere, quirky surroundings and 24 hour facilities this is the place for you!

Raw Space is a lovely, laid-back coworking space! It's a great choice if you're tired of working alone at home and looking forward to enjoying some good company. The strong sense of community here makes it even more special.
This is a fantastic space and very community focussed. It's perfect for someone like me who's new to the city and works remotely. Everyone is so nice and open hearted. Highly recommend.
I've tried a few co-working places and chose Raw Space. Good rates, flexible, very friendly space (humans and dogs!). I like the different areas and that we can see outside and enjoy a terrasse! People are chatty, but it's not noisy.
Incredibly easy to book and use. Friendly, welcoming space with fantastic facilities. I'm using the space for hot desking today, and couldn't be happier. The office space is large, but split into lots of areas for different work preferences and use cases. Will 100% recommend and use again in the future.
Was also particularly impressed that there is (limited) parking if you drive into the city which I sadly had to today!

I attended a brief meeting with Garath, Raw Space's Community Manager, mainly to look at their meeting room space and assess their general facilities.
Easy to find, I was warmly greeted by Gareth and taken upstairs into the main 'hot desk' space, which was full but didn't feel overcrowded.
The meeting room was just what I was looking for, and with the addition of a well stocked kitchen included in the hire somewhere, I will definitely be booking in the near future.

I was looking for a coworking space with hot desk access to use as a base for research for personal projects outside of my day job. I found that Raw Space meets all of my requirements and more. Friendly community - and their dogs! - is a big plus.
A great co-working space with lots of friendly people. I use it for hot desking and it's a nice and relaxed environment to work in. The kitchen is good and a lovely sun trap terrace
A great office space for hot-desking with a handy meeting room and a friendly atmosphere!
Such a terrific space to get some work done. There's a really friendly atmosphere here with regular meetups and lots of dog interactions which is a huge bonus for me.
I love hot-desking at Raw Space, it’s a very well equipped co-working office space, they even have spare monitors you can use. The staff and the hotdeskers themselves are really friendly, there are lots of people who work there regularly, who you can get to know and socialise with after work if you wish, and the office vibe is laid back while still being professional. The prices are very reasonable and they offer different packages depending on your needs. In addition to the open-plan hotdesk spaces they have private booths and a meeting room you can book. There is a kitchen with tea and coffee, microwave, water cooler, fridge, and more - even a supply of dog treats (yes, you can bring your dog to the office if you have one!). The fact that the office has a private car park is super convenient. Being in the heart of Gloucester Road, it’s also close to a ton of amenities. Security is excellent too.
Great co-working setup with plenty of hotdesking space, a kitchen with everything you need and bike storage. They offer a 7 day free trial which is very useful for settling in. Highly recommend!
Wonderfully friendly coworking space. Great for those who work remotely and want to hot desk a few days a week. It's a great open plan setup (with smaller rooms and phone booths to reduce the noise) with kitchen facilities and an outside area.
Great co-working space! I loved that they offered a free 7 days trial, which meant I could get my dog used to the space before deciding to sign up. Lovely community too! I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a co-working space in Bristol!
Lovely, friendly community, and brilliant location. Perfect facilities for my needs, and really good value. Thanks to Emma the Community Manager for being so helpful! Really happy to have found Raw Space
There is a really nice community at Rawspace, and everyone is welcoming and friendly. The socials like the Wednesday lunch club, Thursday drinks, the Xmas and summer parties are great fun, and a easy way to get to know people. There is also a lovely diverse mix of ages and backgrounds which keeps things fresh and interesting.
Overall good, just freezing! So cold.. had to wear lots of layers and alternate my gloves! Heaters are not powerful enough for the space.
Great space, fantastic location, friendly people. There was an issue with the heating so it was very cold but I believe they were on the case to get it fixed.
I had never co worked before but for various reasons had to work from Bristol last Friday. Very friendly people (both staff and fellow co workers), good facilities and an all round nice place to work from. Will definitely use again next time I am in Bristol
Raw Space is the most friendly co-working space I’ve found after trying many in Bristol! Lots of hot desking space as well kitchen facilities and outdoor space. Meeting room too if you need it and socials aplenty!
Lovely space. I checked out some different co-working spaces in the area, and went with Raw Space for these reasons: their starter level hot desking offer is super reasonable, they were cool with me using it as a virtual art studio occasionally, as well as a virtual office, the vibe is chill, they keep it nice and toasty and they had a free trial week.
I like that there's different zones for desk work, some standing desks, some relaxed seating for phone calls and a large meeting room if you need to get a team together.
They also have the cutest dogs. Recommended.

Fantastic co-working space in a great location & friendly working environment - would highly recommend for remote workers, digital nomads etc 🙂
Great people and lovely welcoming space. Fully equipped kitchen, bathroom with shower, meeting booths l, printer, stationary equipment and wonderful office manager. I arrived in a Sunday and was let into the space over the phone. It’s open 24 hours and has been a lifesaver. Would absolutely recommend!
Lovely friendly co-working space. Plenty of comfy and well equipped hot desks, good WiFi, community atmosphere, phone rooms and meeting room available.
Booked in for a day of hot desking here and it was so easy to do last minute. Need some quiet office space and it was the perfect co-working environment. Everyone super friendly and the location is ideal. Perfect if you're looking to get out of the house and mingle with other people. Will be going back!
Excellent workspace, Always clean and a great range of facilities. The kitchen is handy for heating up or preparing lunch / the internet is nice and fast / There are plenty of seating options / sometimes dogs to say hello too
Best coworking space I have been so far. I stayed in Bristol for 3 weeks and it was very nice to work here. There is a very nice atmosphere, everybody is very friendly. Highly recommended! Thank you so much!
Rawspace is a co-working space with a real sense of community and the team are always on hand to help if you need it. They organise plenty of social events and the work area is really spacious - a particularly good choice if you're a dog lover!
Worked at Raw Space for well over a year and it is a great place to work with friendly people. Highly recommended for people who need a break from working from home!
I've been coming to Raw Space for over 7 months now, and it has really transformed my experience living in Bristol. When I first moved I was doing my job from home full time, and I really missed the office buzz and being able to separate home from work. Raw Space has a lovely balance of being sociable but productive, with lots of activities to get involved in outside working hours. We've had some lovely BBQ's in the outside area, playing bowls in the park on sunny lunchtimes and enjoying the watering holes down Gloucester road. Management have been really accommodating when suggesting ways to improve the working experience and I've felt so welcome. Lots of cute dogs to cuddle too as a very welcome comfort break from the job. I'm definitely here for the long-term.
Lovely atmosphere for coworking and getting all the benefits of an office space - we're a very small remote team so a couple of us work from here one day a week to connect and see other people (and the lovely dogs!), it's so nice to be part of a warm friendly atmosphere to make a change from working from home
Tried my fair share of co-working spaces in Bristol, and yet to find one quite like RawSpace. Strong community, great social side & fantastic location. 24/7 access really brings it home.
Great coworking space with plenty of hotdesks and a strong community feel! I love that it's 24/7 access, and there's a meeting room allowance included 🙂
A fantastic open plan working space for digital nomads, workers frustrated at home and those who want to mix with others. Friendly, resourceful with enough spaces to engage with like minded people, or to hide away and focus on work. After WFH for the last 2yrs with intermittent office time, I only realised how much I needed this once I was welcomed through the doors!
Recently ran a women's group at Raw Space over 10 weeks and needed a welcoming, comfortable space. Raw Space didn't disappoint and we will definitely use again - thank you!
I moved back to Bristol in 2022 and have found Raw Space to be a great coworking spot in a fab location. I use the office space 2 days a week and have met some lovely people at the RS socials - the office dogs are an added bonus 🙂
Raw Space has the best community atmosphere out of all the coworking spaces in Bristol! They plan so many social events. It transformed my remote working experience. I couldn’t recommend it more, especially if you’re looking for a sense of community.
Great co-working space in Bristol - all the usual services, but some major added bonuses, inc 24hr access, a free trial week, and loads of regular community-related and networking events. Also, really great membership rates. Recommended!
Raw Space is a hidden co-working space gem in Bristol and I genuinely feel quite lucky that we found it. Facilities are good, kitchen, bathroom, internet, meeting rooms, outdoor space etc but what makes this place really stand out is the community, coffee mornings, group lunches, after-work drinks etc. If you want somewhere where you can do your own thing but feel part of an office, this is the place. They have both hot desking and permanent desk options.
Great co-working space with friendly people and lots of community things to get involved with. Highly recommend!
I tried several co-working spaces before finding Raw Space. Lovely people, great price, with lots going on. The community really makes this place stand out. There is both hot desking and permanent desks, and if you need more privacy, a meeting room. If you are looking for a place to work away from home give this place a go.
I spent a few months in Bristol and used Raw Spaces as my temporary office. The workspace has everything you need such as fast internet, comfy chairs, big desks, a fully equipped kitchen, shower, meeting rooms, and so on. But the community is the best part. Everyone was super friendly in the space, they also hold many events such as a poker night which was lots of fun. As a freelance developer, I was also very fortunate enough to network with some really talented people working on some very cool projects. Bix the office manager is incredibly kind, made me feel super welcome, and is an absolute superstar. I will keep going back here when I am in Bristol. I can't recommend the place highly enough!
best coworking space in bristol! It has the best hot desking set up, great community, meeting rooms and people actually go out and do things together.
It's a very dog friendly atmosphere as long as they are well behaved and there's almost never any dog drama.

The best co working space in bristol if you’re looking for community. Working remotely during multiple lockdowns was super tough, I did multiple trials at different co working spaces in bristol and then I found Rawspace. Genuinely lovely and engaging people doing a whole range of different work, a great space with different work options and of course the dogs (Piccolo!♥️) Would highly recommend to anyone who needs a separate working space form home & a great bunch of people to be around and share life with 🙂
L O V E this place. Relaxed, friendly, great atmosphere, lots of social if you want it, fine if you dont. A good variety of desk spaces, dog friendly, and people friendly! You definitely want to work from here, plus lots of working options, nothing not to like.
Fantastic co-working space! Really friendly people and lovely social events. Great location, office dogs, and outside space. The shower is also a big plus for me. Thank you to Emma, the fab community manager, for making me feel so welcome.
Highly recommended co-working hot desk for anybody struggling with working from home. The collaborative community is on hand to ensure that your working day is a rewarding one. The meeting room allows you to professionally host clients. Venue management are very hands on, and sympathetic to any working needs. It also has a great social scene after work making great use of Gloucester Road.
Raw space has everything you’re looking for in a co-working space. Great amenities and loads of weekly and monthly events to create a great community within raw space
Great co-working space, calm, peaceful, nice people, easy system and low cost for someone like me just wanting a day a week. Easy to cancel for the summer when I am busy, and will be back in the Autumn for sure
Just joined RAW space full-time after doing the 7-day free trial! I tried loads of different co-working spaces in Bristol but this was the best by far in terms of a community feel, everyone is super friendly and welcoming. The facilities are clean and bright - there are handy phone booths and a meeting room too... plus dogs!!
The community and the people in Raw Space is what makes this place special. The office dogs makes this place even better. I work and have fun in this place.
Used their meeting room yesterday as my home internet was unstable. It was a real life-saver as I had two big meetings to run. Izzy was so helpful and everyone was really friendly. The co-working space seemed really calm and specious. Also it was really clean and I was able to use their tea and coffee too, thank you. I highly recommend it. I'll be back, thank you
I did the 7 day trial and within the first day was so impressed with the set up I signed up as a member. It's got a welcoming, warm and fun community atmosphere which is exactly what I was looking for. The space is great and I find it easy to concentrate and chat if I want to. There are some fab extra spaces to use if you need more focussed space too and I use the meeting booths a lot for this, the quiet room is great too and a nice big meeting room space. Great facilities with coffee and tea and shower too! I love the outdoor area, and it's great to be able to park if I need though i mainly cycle as location is really great from my home. A brilliant perk is bringing my dog in and meeting other doggos.
The people here are the best thing about the place too, everyone is so lovely and friendly and there is a genuine community here with after work options to get involved with. Shout out to Izzy who expertly looks after all of us and the space to help make it a great place to be. Highly recommend Raw Space!

Great vibe to work in, lots of nice amenities such as huge variety of teas, alternative milks, coffee and cake club on a Monday morning - people are sound. Would recommend for sure!!
Great place to work, the stuff is very helpful and kind! Absolutely recommended to try!
I checked out a bunch of co-working spaces but after the trial here I can't imagine anything beating it. The people that run it are so down to earth and motivated to make it a vibrant community. Theres no seperation from anyone else and it fits perfectly between allowing focus and supporting interaction. FULLY RECOMMEND.
Great space that is improving all the time. Good facilities, friendly staff and co-workers and best of all it's dog friendly 🙂 Phone booths could do with being sound proofed but I'm sure this is in the plans. It's not the cheapest hot-desk/ co-working space in town but not the most expensive either.
Working from home is great, but not ALL THE TIME! I love Raw Space. It is a welcoming, comfortable, and contemporary shared workspace at the heart of the Gloucester Road in Bristol. Also great to have the opportunity to network and tap into the expertise of fellow sole workers entrepreneurial talents. Usually someone can find an answer to a problem, or at least point you in the direction of someone else who can. There's lots on offer, you can take it or leave it depending on what you need. Tea and coffee, cycling racks, good local art on the walls. Good people.
Really cool space to work in and excellent events to help out aspiring entrepreneurs. Really great value 🙂
