Reviews from visitors:
I was in San Francisco for a week and needed a place to set up shop. Connections SF wildly exceeded my expectations. The location is terrific. The workspaces and chairs are great. Very good bandwidth. Snacks. Coffee. By far the best part of Connections is the terrific staff lead by Toby who made my work environment perfect.
Connections is a fantastic spot to work if you're looking for a co-working space. The location is central and close to everything from coffee shops, lunch spots to take clients, a close walk to BART, and attached to a hotel for business guest. The co-work space is always clean and quiet which makes for a great working environment and the staff is always available to help with any questions that come up. I've really enjoyed using the space and highly recommend it to any company looking for a co-share work spot!
Nice and convinient coworking. Polite and friendly management team. A convenient place to work effectively - with all features included
Great for all those times you think to yourself: I really want to get some work done in the windowless corner of a hotel basement.
This is an excellent coworking space for engineers. Below are things I like about it:
- No music in the common area. This place is all about heads down focus work. I had to leave wework because they play music in every single common area I've been to (and I visited multiple offices in NYC and sf).
- Keurig coffee machine that has both decaf and caffeinated pods. I like this much more than wework, which provides "fresh brewed" coffee but only has it 9-5pm and only caffeinated, which is a huge problem if you work late and need a coffee to stay up.
- 24/7 access via app controlled lock. Wework gives you this but only if you get a dedicated desk. This is provided to all members, including ones who go for the cheaper hot desk option.
- Snacks provided completely for free (see pics) plus cereal and milk.
- Vending machines with wider selection. The killer for me is caffeine free Diet Coke, which it has. Also has ramen.
- Great common rooms that are generally free where you can have larger meetings.
- Access to a gym and roof terrace. Awesome for bringing friends over or having parties. This access is 24/7-- you just borrow the key fob, which is hung on the bulletin board in the office.
- They have events like bagel Friday's. Love these things.
- The place is windowless, but the design makes it seem like there are tinted windows (see pics). This is a polarizing feature, but I personally love the lack of real windows because I work late and get depressed when the sun starts to rise and I have to go home. Like I said-- this place is all about focus.
- All the chairs are soft and you can sit in them all day. Not like wework, which has hard chairs in the common areas and meeting rooms that hurt your butt after a while (possibly by design).
- They gave me a week to week membership for the common area for $90/week, which is a great deal in my opinion.
The story behind this place is it's in the basement of a hotel, and they used to use the space for storage. After doing this for a while, someone figured out they could redesign it as an office space and make more money. So they did, and that's what it is now.
I think if you're an engineer you'll love this place-- but as a creative type I think you'll hate it. Wework is probably a better option for creative types in my opinion.
