Coworking and a private office solve different needs. Coworking prioritises flexibility and cost per day on site; a private office prioritises confidentiality, acoustics and a segregated network. This guide compares both formats in Madrid, with indicative Nexus Business Center prices in Campo de las Naciones.
What coworking includes
Coworking is a desk in a professional shared zone: flexible (business hours) or fixed 24/7 (assigned desk and after-hours access). At Nexus: flexible from €90/month and fixed 24/7 from €180/month. Hub: /en/coworking-space-madrid-east.
- • Ideal for 1–4 days/week in Madrid
- • Lower cost and networking
- • Limited acoustic privacy vs a closed office
What a private office includes
A private office is a closed exclusive space for your team: door, furniture, often a dedicated VLAN. At Nexus, private offices start at €380/month with reception, internet, common-area cleaning and 24/7 access per contract. Detail: /en/private-office-madrid-east.

Practical rule and next step
If you use a desk more than ~12 days/month and need privacy, compare a small office vs fixed coworking. Otherwise coworking + hourly rooms is usually more efficient. Book a visit at /en/contact.
