Coworking Medellín: 4 Spaces Compared (2026)

Medellín has plenty of coworking options, but “best” depends on the
work you need to do. A quiet writing day, a week of video calls and a
month of community-oriented work are different purchases. This guide
compares four spaces with current public information, focusing on day
access, call privacy, hours and neighborhood fit.

Quick answer: Semilla Laureles has the lowest
clearly tax-inclusive day rate in this comparison at COP 45,000 and the
broadest published weekend hours. Inspira is useful for hourly or
prepaid-hour access. 1 Segundo is a straightforward Laureles option with
half-day, day, week and month prices. NOI in El Poblado lists soundproof
cabins and 24/7 access among its services, but you should confirm which
product includes round-the-clock entry.

Prices and facilities were checked on September 20, 2026. They are provider-published, not independently measured,
and can change. We did not visit the spaces, run speed tests or score
noise levels.

Comparison at a glance

Space	Neighborhood	Flexible access shown	Calls and meetings	Published hours or access note
Semilla Laureles	Laureles	Day COP 45,000; week COP 220,000; month COP 650,000, including IVA	Call booths and meeting rooms listed	Mon–Fri 7:30–19:00; Sat 7:30–18:00; Sun 9:00–16:00
Coworking Inspira	Laureles-Estadio	Hour COP 8,403 + IVA; day COP 42,857 + IVA, displayed as COP 51,000 with 19% IVA	Phone booths listed	7:00–19:00 shown
1 Segundo	Laureles	Half-day COP 35,000; day COP 48,000; week COP 220,000; month COP 650,000	Meeting rooms listed; no dedicated phone-booth claim found on the page reviewed	Mon–Fri 8:00–18:00; Sat by reservation; Sun/holidays closed
NOI	El Poblado	Day from COP 60,000; ticket bundle from COP 508,000	Soundproof cabins and meeting rooms listed	Provider lists 24/7 among services; confirm eligibility for your pass

The prices above are not perfectly comparable. Semilla explicitly
says its listed rates include IVA. Inspira shows base amounts and the
19% tax calculation for its day and fixed-desk products. The 1 Segundo
page did not make the tax treatment equally clear in the information
reviewed. NOI uses “from” pricing. Ask for the final, tax-inclusive
total before paying.

How we assessed the spaces

This is a desk-research comparison based on each venue’s own website.
We recorded public prices, opening hours, neighborhood, and whether the
operator lists phone booths, soundproof cabins or meeting rooms. We do
not treat marketing language such as “high-speed” or “quiet” as a
measured result.

Before committing to a monthly plan, buy a short pass if possible and
test the workspace during your real call schedule. Check Wi-Fi on your
own device, upload a sample file, ask about backup internet and power,
and stand inside the booth while a colleague listens from outside. Booth
availability matters as much as the existence of booths.

For more context on the city, see our Medellín digital
nomad guide. You can also compare the selection criteria with our
guide to the best
coworking spaces around the world.

1. Semilla
Laureles: strongest all-week flexibility

Semilla’s Laureles location is the clearest choice here for people
who want a transparent day price and the option to work on a Sunday. Its
official page lists COP 45,000 for a day, COP 220,000 for a week and COP
650,000 for a month, including IVA. It also lists call booths, meeting
rooms, dedicated desks and a relaxation zone.

The published schedule is unusually broad for a neighborhood
coworking space: weekdays from 7:30 to 19:00, Saturday from 7:30 to
18:00 and Sunday from 9:00 to 16:00. That makes Semilla practical for
travelers whose working week does not match Colombia’s Monday-to-Friday
rhythm.

Semilla is at Calle 39C #73-7 in Laureles. The neighborhood generally
suits nomads who want restaurants, cafés and day-to-day services without
making El Poblado their base. “Call booths available” does not guarantee
a free booth at your meeting time, so ask whether reservations are
possible and whether day-pass users have the same access as members.

Best fit: a flexible week in Laureles, weekend
workers and people who want an IVA-inclusive public price.

Confirm before paying: booth reservation rules,
meeting-room inclusions, and the exact access time attached to each
pass.

2. Coworking
Inspira: best for hourly access

Inspira publishes a more granular menu than the other spaces in this
list. The official page shows an hourly rate of COP 8,403 plus IVA and a
day rate of COP 42,857 plus IVA. It displays the day total as COP 51,000
after 19% IVA. Prepaid bundles are listed at 30 hours for COP 148,764
plus IVA, 50 hours for COP 233,772 plus IVA and 100 hours for COP
425,040 plus IVA.

This structure can work well if you need a professional desk only for
calls or focused blocks rather than every day. The page lists phone
booths, which is a useful signal for call-heavy work, but it is not an
acoustic test. Ask how many booths there are, whether they can be booked
and whether there are time limits.

Inspira is on Transversal 39B in Laureles-Estadio and displays hours
of 7:00 to 19:00. A fixed desk is shown at COP 595,000 plus IVA, or COP
708,050 with 19% IVA.

Best fit: people who can buy only the hours they
need or want an early start in Laureles.

Confirm before paying: whether hour bundles expire,
the full tax-inclusive total, booth rules and current weekend
availability.

3. 1 Segundo:
simple half-day-to-month ladder

1 Segundo presents a straightforward set of options: a four-hour
half-day for COP 35,000, a full day for COP 48,000, a week for COP
220,000 and a month for COP 650,000. A fixed desk is also listed at COP
650,000. Because the page reviewed did not make the IVA treatment as
explicit as Semilla or Inspira, confirm the checkout total.

The space is at Carrera 80A #35A-40 in Laureles. Published hours are
Monday to Friday from 8:00 to 18:00, with Saturday access by reservation
and closure on Sundays and holidays. It lists meeting rooms, coffee and
a pet-friendly policy. We did not find an equally explicit phone-booth
claim, so call-heavy users should ask whether a small meeting room can
be reserved and what that costs.

Best fit: a half-day trial, a simple weekly plan, or
workers who prefer western Laureles.

Confirm before paying: tax treatment, Saturday
reservation requirements, meeting-room charges and a private-call
option.

4. NOI: El
Poblado option with soundproof-cabin claim

NOI is the El Poblado entry in this comparison. Its site lists a day
pass from COP 60,000, ticket bundles from COP 508,000 and meeting rooms
from COP 79,000. The provider also lists soundproof cabins, meeting
rooms, ergonomic furniture, coffee, reception, bicycle parking and
ground-floor accessibility.

NOI includes “24/7” in its services list, but the public page does
not make it safe to assume that every day pass unlocks round-the-clock
entry. Confirm access hours for the exact product you are purchasing.
The same caution applies to “from” prices: the final amount can depend
on duration, seat type or taxes.

El Poblado can be convenient if you live near your coworking space or
need meetings in that part of the city. It can also add commute time if
your apartment is in Laureles. Test the actual route at your working
hours before buying a long plan.

Best fit: El Poblado-based nomads who prioritize an
explicitly listed soundproof-cabin option.

Confirm before paying: which memberships include
24/7 entry, final tax-inclusive pricing, cabin availability and guest
rules.

Laureles or El Poblado for
coworking?

Choose by door-to-desk time, not neighborhood reputation. Laureles
gives you three of the four options compared here and makes it easy to
trial several spaces without crossing the city. El Poblado may be the
simpler choice if your accommodation, clients or social plans are
already there.

Map your apartment, the coworking entrance and your most common
evening destination. Then check the route at 8:00 and 18:00, when
traffic can change a seemingly short commute. A cheaper desk is not a
saving if you regularly lose an hour traveling to it.

A practical test-day
checklist

Bring the laptop, charger, headset and VPN you actually use.
Run download, upload and latency tests at arrival and during a busy
period.
Upload a real work file rather than relying only on a speed-test
headline.
Check mobile-data reception at the desk as a backup.
Make a short call from a booth and ask a colleague about echo and
background noise.
Count available booths relative to the number of open desks.
Ask about power backup, secondary internet, guest access and
meeting-room credits.
Verify air-conditioning, chair comfort, glare and music volume at
your preferred desk.
Get the final price in writing, including IVA and any deposit.

Which Medellín
coworking space should you choose?

Start with Semilla if weekend opening and transparent tax-inclusive
pricing matter most. Choose Inspira if hourly access matches an
irregular schedule. Try 1 Segundo for a simple half-day or weekly ladder
in Laureles. Shortlist NOI if you are based in El Poblado and want a
venue that explicitly lists soundproof cabins.

The best coworking space is the one that survives a real test day:
stable enough for your files, private enough for your calls, close
enough to use consistently and priced clearly enough to budget. Public
feature lists narrow the field; your own trial should make the final
decision.
