Connections SF

Our team has been working out of the Connections SF co-​working space for nearly a year, and overall, we have been quite happy with our experience.
First and foremost, the staff has been quite accommodating to our needs. The office manager, Heidi, is a pleasure to work with and is great at juggling the myriad needs of all our fellow members. Patrick and Dean, the managers of the co-​working space, are also quite flexible and responsive to the members’ needs.
As an example, I was in New York a few months ago, and I found myself in need of a temporary office for the day. Connections SF is associated with the Club Quarters chain of private hotels, so Dean was able to get on the phone and arrange for me to get access to a member’s only lounge in Midtown from which I could work.
My only dings would be
1) the office is on the basement level, so there is no sunlight
2) conference room space can be hard to come by without advance notice
Those aspects aside, there are great snacks, a responsive staff, and spacious desks. Good stuff.

ConnectionsSF has been the perfect coworking space for our growing startup. As a satellite office for an international startup, Connections has been an amazing partner as we’ve grown from 2 people to 6. Heidi, the amazing office manager, has been extremely responsive to all of of our requests, from having international guests to needing conference rooms at the last second. Having looked at and worked out of other San Francisco-​based coworking spaces, ConnectionsSF is truly a gem.

My co-​worker and I tried this facility for 1 day. We got a tour and then worked in the «workspace» and the «Club Living Room», each for a few hours. Best feature was the wi-​fi: measured at more than 60 mbps both down and up. Both rooms would be comfortable for collaborative work, in that conversation is fully tolerated, but the flip side is that there is often conversation going on, sometimes loud. There is also airport music playing all the time in the Club Living Room. Seating in the Club Living Room includes both stools at a table and clusters of armchairs for working off your lap and/​or meeting with 1 or 2 others.

The people at Connections are super accommodating, very responsive and helped me plan a great meeting for my company. It was smooth sailing — thanks!

Had I not have worked in another coworking space, I think I would’ve taken for granted how nice Connections SF is. I’ve worked in very nice offices and I can say that Connections is right up there with the best of them.
I’ve been working at this space for the past 4 months and I have to say it is leagues above the last coworking space we stayed at. There’s not even a comparison. The space is very accessible and clean and it is right in the financial district. There are so many places to eat and shop in walking distance.
Heidi, Stephanie, Dean, and Patrick all have been very helpful getting us anything that we’ve ever needed with our workspace. We use VOIP and they were even nice enough to get hard ethernet wires installed into our desks!
My favorite thing about the workspace is the amenities. They provide snacks, fruit, coffee, milk and have multiple conference rooms and phone rooms if you need a private space. There is also the hotel gym, rooftop and pub that you have access to.
I would recommend this space to anyone. Its a great place for you and your team to get your work done.

We rented out The Apollo room for $ 500/​day (that’s not cheap) and we consistently had problems getting into the room. The manager, Michael, was very hard to get ahold of (rarely picked up his phone during business hours) and we had trouble getting in. Michael told us to talk to the hotel’s staff but they refused to let us in. We also asked if we could lock the door during lunch (since we had $ 1,000s of equipment) and Michael’s response was «I’ll have someone come lock it in a bit and then unlock it before you get there.» Was not very confident that are belongings were safe.
For the price, the facilities also weren’t that great. Not beat up but a small projector, small whiteboard, etc. For $ 500/​day I’d expect something pretty great.
Take your business elsewhere.

The company I work for has been working from the co-​working space at Connections SF for the past 3 or 4 months. Being in the basement, It was a bit tricky to locate the first time I visited — I entered through the hotel upstairs. But, once getting there, the space has been really ideal. It is open ²⁴⁄₇ with a downloadable app to open the door. It is impeccably cleaned daily and the other people working there are respectful of noise. It is modern with tasteful professional décor and comfortable office chairs. There are free snacks (chips & cookies) and coffee in the kitchen and I can put my lunch in the fridge and warm it up in the microwave. Wifi works well and there are plenty of plugs for usb and cables. Conference rooms are available to be booked, it is attached to a Restaurant (Elephant and Castle) which we have used for meetings, and the hotel upstairs will be very convenient for when we have out of town visitors. Over all we have been very satisfied so far.

This review is for the space — I haven’t joined to use their coworking services, just went for a Meetup event. Will definitely go back.
It wasn’t the easiest place to find (didn’t help that
had the address wrong). The sign on the door is pretty small, and then you have to go down to the basement and all the way to the back.
Once you find it, the main room feels spacious and very functional, with desks along the wall and big tables in the middle, plenty of plugs, no problems with wifi. The desks are uncluttered and the people there are quiet, but they also won’t glare at you if you’re working on a problem with a partner.
The meeting area was a good size for a small group and the projection system worked.
My only complaint was smelling the food — somebody was making toast in the kitchen, and I was starving!

I have been working out of the connections sf workspace since it officially opened a couple of weeks ago and I could not be happier. The space is modern, minimalist, and absolutely beautiful. My favorite features of Connections SF would have to be having Elephant and Castle right next door for lunch and drinks at a discounted price, the location, and the access to free coffee and snacks whenever needed!
They have a Free Social Fridays Coworking Meetup so be sure to come down and check out the space one Friday instead of heading to Starbucks (which is also located right above the space) or a café.
