Coworking Space: PLATF9RM in Brighton

It's more like a coffee shop than a business environment. The people using it are nice but the staff are more than a bit chaotic.

Once upon a time, I lived in London. I came to Hove to stay for a couple of days to look after a cat for a friend. What to do? I needed somewhere to work and I didn't want to spend all day on the sofa. So I tried HoveP9 for a day, and the rest is history. I now work three days a week between both Brighton and Hove spaces, and I return to London for the rest of the week. They are lovely places to be in and to work. For me it's all about the light and the open space.

Been with P9 for a few months now, after eying them up from afar and then having to let go of my other (very small, very quiet, very lonely) office location. Can't really fault it to be honest - the vibe is good, facilities are good and there's a good selection of teas and coffees and, yup, beers. Definately worth checking out if you're looking for a co working space in Brighton!

The perfect co-working space with all the best ingredients for busy, slow or social days with the prettiest backdrop I've worked in. I couldn't imagine myself anywhere else now!

Fantastic co-working space in Brighton and Hove. Excellent facilities and a team that brings a real sense of community to the working environment. I would highly recommend!

A quirky and productive work space full of friendly and hard-working people. The office space gives you all the benefits of a 'team' whilst still giving you the freedom to be independent, whether you're a freelancer or working in a small start-up company. The layout of the floors offers a space for any occasion, be it a client meeting, social event, private conference call or collaborative working space.

I love this place so much! We were members when it first opened, then moved into an office for a while but eventually felt like we were working in a bubble and returned to Platf9rm. You can crack on with your own work, of course, but there are opportunities to mix, share information and network too. The range of people working here is brilliant, and the energy and creativity helps when you're feeling a little flat but have work to do. The team are incredibly helpful too. Honestly having tried various co-working places, I can't recommend Platf9rm highly enough.

It's the best.

Great if you want to meet other creative and chatty people! Always a good atmosphere, cool event or free food going round!

I started co-working at Platf9rm after being unceremoniously booted out of Barclays Eagle Lab when they had a refit. The manager there was awful so I decided to look elsewhere. I viewed a few places but decided on Platf9rm because of the following....The front of house team are super friendly and there is always someone there to help, the space is super cool and comfortable...(great views at Tower Point), my co-workers are all like-minded and I've made some great new friends, the events are brilliant....last festival week we were invited to free bar at the Warren and tomorrow we're going a Walk Shop with Unlost Co! Overall if you want to feel like you belong, part of the family and you enjoy a product workspace I would recommend this place. Super big thank you to Annie North, Leanne Doutré, Sunetta Kiarie, Jessica Samson, George Kirkpatrick, Tom Palmer, Danny Southwell at Tower Point for always making us feel welcome!

Lovely space. A great mix of different environments to suit both focus and conversation. Warm, friendly people. Lots of great events. Staff go out of their way to solve problems and make the place amazing. Feels a bit like uni but without all the rubbish bits. x

We've been based here for 18 months - it was great when we started and has only gotten better since. The team are always pushing to make life better for the members, there is a huge new event space in Hove Town Hall, a café, and they haven't taken their foot off the pedal for new and exciting events happening all the time! Everything you need is on your doorstep and you meet new people doing all sorts of cool stuff all the time. It also helps that we've got the fastest WiFi we've ever worked with!

Lovely co-workers, lovelier dogs and even lovelier staff! I've already recommended the space to a few local pals!

Lovely Space, Friendly Staff, Good Decaf Tea, I've Made Friends Here & Benefit From Fast Wi-Fi !

An extremely well run, friendly co-working space with interesting and varied co-workers. Great facilities including fast Wifi, dedicated phone booths, lockers, posh tea and coffee, plenty of desk space to suit any need. Meeting rooms for hire and well as day passes for visitors. Plus there are nice little touches including mid-week treats and drinks on a Friday. Fully independent with well-run (frequent) social activities and events.

Love it here - PLATF9RM have made an office space that feels fun and easygoing. Coming in to the office as a designated space to get stuff done while also having chats with new friends, makes freelancing a much less lonely place.

The Platf9rm Tower Point site is spread over two floors, both boasting stunning sea views and each floor differs enough to create a wide variety of spaces to work in, large communal areas which are great for working and taking a social break to natter with a fellow Platf9rm member and quiet rooms which are dedicated silent spaces, perfect for quiet focus. There are some very nicely furnished meeting spaces equipped with everything you'd need to host a physical or virtual meeting and the spaces on the ninth floor are thoughtfully furnished to create homely, more informal meeting spaces. So much thought and care has gone into Platf9rm, the design and layout have been crafted to offer a ton of options of great working spots to suit a range of tastes. My preference is a corner table in the communal area on Floor 5 but I enjoy the concept that I could move about both floors and select a spot to work in depending on my day and task list. I very much enjoy the communal spaces as much of my day is spent working remotely from my team it's lovely to feel part of a wider community and I've had some great chats with my fellow members. The front of house team are a friendly, caring and super helpful bunch, they will make you feel warmly welcomed, mix a mean Friday afternoon cocktail and are on hand to help with a multitude of queries. Platf9rm runs an array of monthly events, many of which are free for their members from monthly socials, morning yoga sessions to short talks from other members on a wide range of topics.

Quite simply, this place is wonderful. The people that work here make your stay enjoyable. Nothing is too much trouble and everything just works as you need it to and when you need it. Add to that the lively schedule of events they put on, and this is a coworking community that stands out from the crowd. If this place doesn't make you want to go to work, then nowhere will.

This is a great place to work. Fun and friendly staff. Care is taken to make sure there is always somebody to hand to help if needed. They are working hard to build a community with a series of different work focused events. A good mix of technology platforms for the young / introverts but space for us older extroverts to express ourselves as well. Friday drinks and end of month socials are a great idea. Also they listen to feedback and ideas; very open to change and new ideas. Dog friendly with water bowls and sometimes treats as well. My only criticism is the accessibility via the lifts to the 5th/6th floor.

I love the way Platform 9 has been designed. It combines the feeling of being at home with the buzz of a thriving community. Whether you just want to get your head down; find space to think creatively or connect with interesting people then Plarform 9 does this in spades. Being in the heart of Brighton and Hove also means it’s super convenient place to get to and to have meetings. The regular events they host on diverse subjects and topics that aren’t only about business mean that you can really achieve a great work-life blend. A must coworking venuew for creative souls with business brains.

I've worked in several co-working spaces both in Brighton and internationally and Platf9rm is by far the best. The staff are always so friendly and couldn't be more helpful. I've made some great friends through their social events which are always loads of fun. As a recruiter I spend a fair amount of time on the phone which is manageable with their private phone booths one of which you can book out BUT if you spend all day on the phone I'd say the co-working space isn't ideal so maybe put your name down for a private office. Overall, I love it here and would highly recommend it to anyone who struggles a bit to work from home.

I've used Platf9rm at Tower Point for almost a year and its once of the most dynamic and creative spaces I've worked in. The Platf9rm team are what makes it so unique - they always go above and beyond to help out, organise community events and make the space what it is. I'd recommend Platf9rm to anyone who's looking for a creative and supportive environment that supports small business and helps them grow. Its a great space, with a mixture of meeting rooms, communal areas and quiet zones. And the coffee is pretty good too. And it has dogs, so....

Platf9rm is a wonderful place to work full of interesting and helpful people. It's an awesome workspace to just get stuff done as well as network with others. There are a lot of social activities here which is awesome if you are self employed working on your own. Plus the tea and coffee is free - who doesn't like a good brew or a mug of coffee! I'd highly suggest joining Platf9rm if you work from home or for yourself. It's been great to get out the house and see other humans in an awesome working environment. It's the best work space I've worked in.

A meticulously designed space that has been a game changer - from the wonderful staff to all the inspiring connections I make through the space and the brilliant events. I get so much work done in the space and the attention to detail is spot on with tea and coffee available that's sourced from local companies. The integration of the PLATF9RM community in the Brighton scene is a huge pull, they are very involved in the city and contribute to making it a wonderful place to live. Always proud to tell people I use the space, best co-working space I've ever used!

Everything here is excellent: the space is so well designed and thought out, the staff are fabulous, and it has everything you could need to be productive + happy at work - from free coffee + breakfasts, to drinks on Fridays, to fun events and socials they put on. I live just 5 mins walk away but am SO glad I joined Platf9rm, I am so much more productive being here and surrounded by likeminded, creative people makes for such a great environment. I've been a member of a number of coworking spaces before and this one has the best atmosphere hands down.

If you find it hard to work from home but still want to enjoy eating breakfast in comfy clothes with good chat whilst getting that press release finished, I can’t recommend Platf9rm enough. Warming, welcoming, wonderful work family environment! Platf9rms co-working space is an excellent opportunity to meet professionals from different industries you may not otherwise come across. I've already collaborated with numerous other Platf9rm members on previous projects. The socials are a great place to get to know more members. The offices are spacious, calm and inspiring. The team couldn't be more generous and willing to help wherever they can! Highly recommend this wonderful space!

The people at Platf9rm are empowering and supportive, with the team behind it making it the perfect place to work. The space is bright and you can always find somewhere to hide away or someone to talk to, whatever you're after. They have created an environment that makes you feel like you work for the best company around, but you're lucky enough to be your own boss. I have tried out quite a few different spaces in Brighton and this is by far the best. There is an amazing community feel and people are always collaborating and helping each other.

Platf9rm is a great co-working space. With the friendly staff, monthly socials and cosy atmosphere it's a great place to work daily from. The decor makes it stand out from the traditional co-working places, with free hot drinks being an added perk. With a mixture of members from all industries (not just digital), it allows for me to network and interact with other sectors easily. The locations of Platf9rm are excellent, either a few minutes walk from the train station or in the middle of Hove; it's easy for clients to find and are always impressed once they're inside. In comparison to the other co-working places in Brighton, Platf9rm keeps a fair and friendly approach regardless of your membership - whether you're on a day pass or have a office, everybody is treated the same and have the same offerings.

The people at Platf9rm (members and staff) are incredible! They have perfected the co-working idea and have provided a space that accommodates your business in all aspects. Fresh coffee, quiet spaces, social gatherings, phone booths for when you need a moment and puppies! (shout out to all my four legged babes in Tower Point). Not to mention P9 has an incredibly supportive staff that help you get on with your business instead having to faff about with office space managing. Platf9rm is perfect for small companies who want to focus on their core business and would like a space with a positive vibe to harvest their creativity.

A great working atmosphere - A sense of community - hipsters will feel at home. You'll be surprised as to how having lots of colourful surroundings and a moss wall will help you concentrate.

I have been a member at Platform 9 Tower Point since March of this year when I changed jobs and count myself lucky that I joined a company that had already decided to be based here. I work in a 'pod' which is great but there are also plenty of other work areas to suit any need i.e. a quiet area including comfy chairs! The Platform 9 team are so helpful and friendly but also very professional. They organise some really interesting and informative work events as well as a monthly social event giving you plenty of opportunity to meet the other Platform 9 members who are a great bunch of people. I would highly recommend Platform 9 office space to anyone wanting an alternative to a home office or indeed a company wanting an energising environment to work in.

Having tried a number of co-working options in Brighton, Platf9rm is easily the best space we've had yet. The offices themselves are beautifully designed, but it's the people, PLatf9rm team and really fun, positive environment that make it a great space to work in. I'd recommend it in a heartbeat.

One of the best co-working spaces I have tried. Beautifully designed interior with sea views over Brighton. Very friendly and creative vibe, excellent facilities and internet. - Loads of free to use private phone booths - Excellent meeting rooms all with Apple TVs - Great breakout areas for informal meetings - Excellent fast internet - Coffee and tea All in all a lovely space and highly recommended!

I've been co-working at Platf9rm since September, and I love it! The office space is stunning and it's clear a great deal of thought has gone into creating a open, inspiring, and collaborative space. There's a great vibe—super chilled and very focused. People are friendly and a real laugh to spend time with during the monthly socials. The staff make a real effort to get to know everyone and create a positive atmosphere. The coffee is decent and there are always tasty ciders/beers/vodka & sodas to be found on a Friday afternoon. Oh, and the playlists are pretty sweet too. There is a great variety of concentration-conducive tunes. I was a particular fan of the ambient electronic tunes playing when I was last in. I highly recommend it as a space to co-work in.

I've been a co-worker at Platf9rm for about 5 months now. Both their offices in Hove and Brighton are cleverly designed to work for you, and what I mean by that is that if you want to find a quite space - you can, if you want to be in a more social environment - you can, if you want to drop in at the weekend - you can, if you want to bring a dog - you can. Then there are the events that are laid on, some excellent ones alongside Virgin Start-Up and some social ones too...although I'm still waiting for my sea swimming session! For me as an individual I've found this a far more productive environment than working from home and hopefully as my business expands the smaller office space opportunities will begin to come into play too.

Three important things make up a good Co-Working space. Location, The Team, and Interior Design. Platf9rm have nailed all three. It's a great Location in the center of the city, close to the main station. The Front Of House Team are professional but remain friendly and create the buzz which makes the atmosphere a perfect place to work. Platf9rm has a modern design with specifically different areas which allows members to find a range of environments to work in to suit your requirements or just the mood you are in that day. It's an excellent place to meet clients and never fails to impress.

I've been using the Platf9rm Brighton space for a few months now and I love it. It's an inspiring and relaxed environment with brilliant staff. I highly recommend.

How about working in a place where you want to go to work? Where you're met with happy faces, encouraging enthusiasm, great event arrangement and an all out great professional community? Well that's Platf9rm for you. Wonderful friendly team always going above and beyond to help you out with any queries or even just brighten your day with a friendly welcome. The office space is fresh, fun, pet friendly and innovative. Love working at Platf9rm and love working with the team.

I've lived & worked on the South Coast for most of my life & I love it. Platf9rm have managed to build what is an absolutely fantastic work environment. It's well furnished, brilliantly situated & run/looked after by a great bunch of friendly, helpful & frankly awesome front of house staff. As we also use a co-working environment in London, we're in a great place to compare & Platf9rm smash everyone else out of the park. The front of house team repeatidly go above and beyond the line of duty, always with a smile & no job is too big or small. I've recommended it to many of my freelance friends and so long as there are empty seats I will continue to do so

I love it here. Friendly and welcoming atmosphere. Brilliantly designed workspaces, that are comfortable and enjoyable to work in. There's loads of really interesting events and a thriving community. I love the variety of businesses and people you get at Platf9rm too. Plus the staff couldn't do more for you to make your day easier. Highly recommended!

Platf9rm IS what co-working should be! Its a modern, bright stylish space. There are real variety of companies and freelancers that work from here, and everyone is friendly. The work-stations are varied depending on whether you are in need of a booth area, or big table space, or a sofa, or you can do all 3! Great coffee, organic tea, dog friendly, and a team of people that actively take an interest in you and your business. Its developed into a true community, with workshops, brain-storming, social events and more...... If you're finding working from home a bit isolating, and are looking for a great space to work, whether it be for a few hours a week, or on a full time basis, then head over to either Brighton or Hove to check it out.

The space and facilities are just amazing, as is the location in central Brighton. Perfect for getting stuff done any time of day (or night/weekends). Wonderful place to have meetings with all the mod cons available. The staff is brilliant. Two thumbs up!
