Why is an office hotel perfect for freelancers in Helsinki and other large cities? – 8 reasons
Freelance work offers freedom and flexibility, but it also comes with its own challenges. One of the biggest questions is: where do I do my work? A home office can be isolating, cafes are noisy, and traditional office rentals can easily feel both expensive and restrictive.
If you are a freelancer looking for affordable, easily accessible workspace in Helsinki, Espoo, Vantaa, Turku, Tampere, or other major cities in Finland, an office hotel may be just the solution you are looking for. Here are eight reasons why an office hotel works – and why Boffice makes it particularly straightforward.
1. Cost efficiency without hidden costs
As a freelancer, every euro counts. Traditional office rent in Helsinki, Espoo, Vantaa, Turku, or Tampere, for example, can easily run into thousands per month, not to mention additional services and long-term commitments.
An office hotel offers a significantly more affordable option. For example, Boffice offers you your own office space of over 10 m² starting at €199/month. The price includes everything you need: electricity, water, basic internet, meeting rooms, and a shared kitchen. You don't pay for unnecessary extras such as lobby services or mandatory after-work events.
Bofficen's room-specific pricing is available directly online, so you know exactly what you're paying – and there will be no surprises at the end of the month or when the lease expires.
2. Flexible lease agreement for changing needs
Freelance work is unpredictable. Sometimes there is a long line of projects, sometimes it is quieter. That is why a long contract is often more of a burden than a security.
Bofficella has a two-month notice period. You can increase your square footage if your business expands—or move to a smaller, more affordable space when you want to reduce your expenses. Flexibility when you really need it.
3. Excellent public transport connections
In large cities such as Helsinki, Espoo, Vantaa, Turku, and Tampere, commuting is efficient when the office is close to the metro, train, or bus. Office hotels – including Boffice – are usually located at transport hubs so that the office is easily accessible by public transport.
An excellent location saves time and makes it easy to meet with customers. "A five-minute walk from the subway" sounds better to a customer than "you might be able to find a parking space."
4. Professional meetings without the hustle and bustle of a café
A café is a nice place for coffee, but not for NDAs. When you want to make a professional first impression and have a calm discussion, a meeting room is the best option.
At Boffice, the use of meeting rooms is included in the rent. You can welcome your clients in a neat, well-equipped space—and focus on the matter at hand, rather than searching for a power outlet under your cappuccino.
5. Community spirit and networking opportunities
The daily life of a freelancer can be lonely. At an office hotel, you will naturally meet other entrepreneurs and professionals in the shared kitchen and lounge areas.
Bofficen's cozy common areas are decorated in a relaxed yet thoughtful manner: they invite conversation but don't force networking. The best collaboration often arises from those "hey, what are you doing?" moments.
6. Everything you need is included in the price
When comparing office options, remember to calculate the additional costs as well. If you rent an office in a large building or even from a housing association, you will pay separately for electricity, water, internet, cleaning, and who knows what else, in addition to the rent.
At an office hotel, the package is already put together for you. Boffice office rental includes electricity, water, WiFi, meeting rooms, shared facilities, and 24/7 access. If you want, you can add furniture and cleaning for a small extra fee. Budgeting becomes easier and surprises disappear.
7. Quick and easy online rental
Time is money – especially if you bill by the hour. With Bofficella, you can rent an office online in just a few minutes without lengthy negotiations.
Browse available spaces, choose the right one, fill in your details – and you're practically ready to go. Bofficella makes renting easy, so you can focus on what's most important.
8. Your own room = you can leave your work at the office
In many co-working solutions, at the end of the day, you take everything with you: your laptop, monitor, notebooks, prototypes, camera equipment—and some of your unfinished thoughts.
When you rent your own room in an office hotel, the situation is different. You can leave your belongings, materials, and even your laptop there without worry until the next day. The door closes, the project stays on the desk, and work and leisure time are separated.
It makes your mornings easier (no lugging around), your days more efficient (documents ready), and your evenings more peaceful (no work following you home in your backpack). Bofficen's access control and 24/7 availability ensure that you can get in when you want – and that your belongings stay where you left them.
Summary: An office hotel is a freelancer's best ally
The office hotel offers freelancers an affordable, flexible, and professional environment without complicated commitments. You get good transport connections, neat meeting rooms, a natural sense of community, and transparent pricing – at Boffice starting from €199/month with a two-month notice period.
And perhaps the most concrete everyday benefit: your own door and your own peace and quiet. When your belongings can stay where they are and your thinking can continue where you left off, the boundary between work and leisure remains clear.
Whether you are in Helsinki, Espoo, Vantaa, Turku, Tampere, or any other major city in Finland, an office hotel such as Boffice is an excellent solution. It gives you the freedom to focus on what you do best: your work.
