Shared Offices in Riyadh: Prices and How to Choose the Right One • Hayez Coworking Space Riyadh

How much do shared offices cost in Riyadh, and how do you know which option suits you? In short: hourly shared offices at Hayez start from SAR 9 per hour (from 12 AM to 6 AM) and SAR 15 per hour for the rest of the day, and if you need more privacy, a private single office is SAR 19 per hour. The right choice depends on three things: how many hours you work, whether you need quiet and privacy, and whether you have guests or meetings.

In this guide we explain the difference between the types of shared offices, calculate the cost with real-world examples, and give you a checklist to use before booking any office in Riyadh.

What are shared offices, and who are they for?

Shared offices are workstations inside a coworking space used by more than one person at the same time. You book them by the hour, by the day, or with an hours package, with no annual lease, no fit-out, and no electricity bills. You only pay for the time you use.

This option usually suits:

Freelancers and self-employed professionals who want a place away from home at a low cost.
Remote or hybrid employees who need an office a few days a week.
Students during study and exam periods.
Startup founders in the early stage, before committing to a monthly office.

Shared office and private office prices at Hayez

Hayez is a workspace in At Taawun, north Riyadh, on Imam Saud Road, open 24 hours a day, all week. These are the current hourly prices, all VAT inclusive:

Shared desk: from SAR 9 per hour (from 12 AM to 6 AM), and SAR 15 per hour for the rest of the day.
Private single office: SAR 19 per hour.
Private office for one person plus a guest: SAR 35 per hour.
Private office for two people: SAR 39 per hour.
Meeting room for up to 4 people: SAR 49 per hour.
Meeting room for up to 7 people: SAR 79 per hour.

If you use the space regularly, there are hours packages for the shared desk: 40 hours for SAR 520, 60 hours for SAR 660, and 80 hours for SAR 720. In other words, the more hours you buy, the lower your cost per hour.

How to choose between a shared office and a private office

Price alone is not enough to decide. What matters most is the kind of work you do. Here is a quick comparison:

Choose a shared desk if:

Your work is writing, design, programming, or studying without many calls.
You want the lowest possible hourly cost.
You work late and can take advantage of the SAR 9 rate between 12 AM and 6 AM.
You don't mind people around you working quietly.

Choose a private single office if:

You have calls or online meetings throughout the day.
You need deep focus with no movement around you.
You handle files or information that require privacy.

Choose an office with a guest or an office for two if:

You are meeting one client or working with a partner in the same place.
You want a tidy place for a meeting instead of a café, without booking a full meeting room.

Choose a meeting room if:

You have a team meeting, job interviews, or a client presentation with 3 or more people attending.

Calculating shared office costs with real-world examples

Let's work it out in practice using current prices:

A freelancer working 4 hours during the day: shared desk 4 × 15 = SAR 60, and private single office 4 × 19 = SAR 76. The difference is SAR 16 in exchange for privacy.
A programmer working from 12 AM to 4 AM: shared desk 4 × 9 = only SAR 36, because all the hours fall within the 12 AM to 6 AM period.
A remote employee who needs about 60 hours a month: at the regular rate 60 × 15 = SAR 900, while the 60-hour shared desk package is SAR 660.
Two partners working 3 hours together: private office for two 3 × 39 = SAR 117, instead of booking two separate offices.

The simple rule: if your work is occasional, start with hourly booking, and once you have a fixed weekly pattern, a package is usually better value.

Checklist before booking shared offices in Riyadh

Whether you book at Hayez or anywhere else, ask yourself these questions:

Location and access: Is the place close to your home or to a main road you use daily? Hayez is in At Taawun on Imam Saud Road, which makes it easy to reach from most north Riyadh neighborhoods.
Opening hours: Is the place open at the times you work? If you work at night or in the early morning, you need a place that is open 24 hours.
Booking method: Can you book online and see the final price before paying?
Internet: Test the speed on your first visit, especially if you have video meetings or upload large files.
Extra services: Do you need printing? Drinks? At Hayez, printing is free with your booking and drinks are paid.
Parking: Ask about parking and its cost. At Hayez, parking is available but paid.
Flexibility: Can you switch from a shared desk to a private office or meeting room depending on your day, without a contract?

Common mistakes when choosing shared offices

Choosing on price alone: an office that is SAR 4 cheaper won't help you if all your work is calls and you need privacy.
Booking a full day when you only need two hours: calculate your actual hours first.
Ignoring rush hour: think about when you leave and when you return, and if your hours are flexible, try the quieter times.
Committing to a long contract from day one: try hourly booking a few times before deciding on any bigger commitment.
