6 seriously amazing coworking spaces in Ho Chi Minh

If you’ve found yourself in the pearl of the far East, known by the locals as Saigon, and to us Westerners as Ho Chi Minh City, work is probably the last thing on your mind.

The blessing of a digital nomad lifestyle is its curse too. You see many beautiful places and experience different cultures, but you can never do it freely—there’s always the weight of the work that must be done pushing on your shoulders.

There’s room for argument there—is there a better way to experience another culture than to go through your regular daily routine surrounded by unknown cultural beauties and pitfalls? It is not always easy, and that’s why we—the digital nomads—must take the necessary steps to make sure we stay productive even when the scatterbrain in us is threatening to take over.

One of the best ways to achieve that is through the use of coworking spaces. My experience has taught me that productive surroundings equal a productive mind. Unfortunately, we encounter another difficulty here—in a city like Ho Chi Minh that’s overflowing with coworking spaces, how to decide which one to choose?

Don’t worry—it’s our job to make it easier for you. Here are the six gems of Ho Chi Minh’s coworking spaces.

CirCO is our absolute favorite place to cowork in Ho Chi Minh

CirCO is happily situated in the very center of the city. You can find it right across the bridge between District 4 and District 1. It’s only a two minutes’ ride from Pham Ngu Lao, Bui Vien, and Ben Thanh Market.

It is one of the longest-lasting coworking spaces in Ho Chi Minh, which means that it has a strong community of loyal visitors. It is considered a high-profile place, so it has a reputation to maintain—it invests a lot into top-of-the-line facilities and the aesthetic appeal of the premises. CirCO prides itself on providing a space wh ere ideas are shared easily and in a pleasant environment. They host a plethora of events—social and business—to encourage this type of interaction.

When it comes to more practical matters, they provide plenty of benefits to consider. Some of them are fast internet, free refreshments, spacious workspaces, meeting rooms, and printer stations. The lighting systems imitate natural light, so they’re great for working, and there are soundproofed private offices for people who have difficulties concentrating.

Those who like to stay in shape will appreciate the discount that CirCO members get in the gym located in the same building. The gym is luxurious and well-equipped, so it’s a great place to work out after you’re done with work.

Saigon coworking is a quiet and friendly place, located in Phu Nhuan. There are many restaurants, cafes, and other attractions in the area.

Not to be confused with the other Toong location in Ho Chi Minh city, Toong’s location is 20 Nguyễn Thị Minh Khai street. It is like a little oasis in a bustling city—calm, peaceful, and more akin to a resort than an actual coworking space. You’ll find a library and an art gallery on the premises, which makes Toong perfect for chilling after work or during the breaks.

They provide plenty of other little tidbits to make your stay more pleasant and productive. There are standing desks and beanbags, so you can be comfortable while you work.
