Pick a serviced-office meeting room when… 適合服務式辦公室嘅情況
You're already a member
You hold a WeWork / Regus / TEC membership for daily co-working, and your event is small (4–10 people, 1–2 hours). Adding a meeting room as a credit top-up is convenient and the marginal cost is low.
You need front-desk reception
You're hosting an external client and want a manned reception, prepared visitor passes, branded coffee service, and a polished waiting area. Serviced offices do this well.
Your team is distributed daily
You meet weekly or daily across multiple cities and want consistent room booking through one global member portal. Operators like Regus / IWG and TEC offer this.
Pick a standalone training room when… 適合獨立培訓場地嘅情況
You're running training, not a meeting
30 trainees, classroom layout, full-day workshop, you own the floor lobby for arrivals. Serviced-office meeting rooms aren't designed for training — fixed boardroom seating, glass walls, footfall outside. Standalone wins.
It's an AGM, Toastmasters, or NGO meeting
Evening or weekend slot, predictable hourly cost, external catering allowed, room layout you control, no membership needed. Standalone wins on every dimension.
It's a one-off — and you want to know the bill upfront
Easy Solution publishes one number: the hourly rate. No membership, no booking fee, no AV add-ons, no catering corkage. Useful when you're billing a corporate client and want a clean invoice line.
You need it on a Sunday or evening
Easy Solution runs 09:00–23:00 every day at the same hourly rate. No after-hours surcharge. Most serviced offices restrict or surcharge weekend / evening access.
Pitch rehearsal, video shoot, hybrid Zoom session
You need to rearrange furniture, mount a camera, put up a backdrop, run sound cables. Standalone room with reconfigurable desks beats a serviced meeting room with fixed boardroom every time.
Catering matters
Lunch ordered from your favourite Japanese spot, after-session canapés from a local bakery, halal / vegetarian / dietary options. Standalone allows external delivery direct to the room. Serviced offices often restrict to preferred vendors.
The honest cost comparison 真實成本對比
For a half-day workshop (4 hours, 20 attendees, with projector, with self-arranged catering):
| Line item | Standalone training room (Easy Solution) | Typical serviced-office hourly meeting room |
|---|---|---|
| Room hire | 4 hrs × HK$700 = HK$2,800 (full-day cap HK$2,600 if 5+ hrs) | Hourly rate × 4 hrs · ask for quote |
| Membership / day-pass | Not required · HK$0 | Member rate or guest day-pass |
| Projector / AV | Included | Included or add-on · varies |
| WiFi | Included · fast | Included |
| Whiteboard + markers | Included | Often included |
| Catering surcharge | None · use any vendor | Preferred-vendor pricing · corkage if external |
| Booking fees / minimum hours | None | Varies |
The apples-to-apples comparison is total HK$ paid for the same event. Ask the serviced-office operator for an all-in quote and compare against Easy Solution's flat HK$700/hr with HK$2,600 full-day cap.
Where Easy Solution actually beats serviced offices 獨立場地嘅核心優勢

FAQ 常見問題
Is Easy Solution cheaper than WeWork or Regus for an hourly meeting room in TST?
Easy Solution publishes a flat hourly rate (from HK$700, full-day cap HK$2,600 for the 30-seat room) with no membership, no day-pass, no minimum hours. Serviced-office operators typically price hourly meeting rooms as a top-up to a membership or day-pass. Compare like-for-like by adding (their hourly rate × your hours) + (any required day-pass or membership fee) + booking fees. For one-off team workshops, a standalone training room is usually materially cheaper. For weekly or daily use, a serviced-office membership starts to make sense.
Do I get the room to myself?
Yes — Rm 533A is a private 30-seat training room with a locking door from inside, no glass walls, no shared corridor with other tenants. The 5/F lift lobby has seating for early-arriving participants. Serviced-office meeting rooms are private during your booked slot, but the floor lobby, washrooms and breakout space are shared with all members and other meeting-room bookings on the same day.
What about catering and food during the session?
External catering is allowed — order from any vendor and have it delivered to 5/F Rm 533A directly. We provide a refreshment counter, kettle, and mineral water on arrival. Most serviced offices restrict outside catering or charge a corkage / clearance fee, and require ordering through their preferred vendor list.
After-hours access for evening Toastmasters or AGMs?
Easy Solution is available any day 09:00-23:00 — Saturday, Sunday and public holidays at the same hourly rate as weekdays, no surcharge. Serviced-office meeting rooms typically operate weekday business hours, with weekend or evening access requiring an after-hours surcharge or unavailable on certain days.
Can I move the furniture / change the room layout?
Easy Solution Training Room has reconfigurable light-wood desks and chairs — set up classroom-style for training, U-shape for workshops, theatre-style for AGMs, or boardroom for negotiations. We can pre-configure the layout for you before the session. Serviced-office meeting rooms have fixed boardroom-style furniture — what you see when you book is what you get.
What's the cancellation / change policy difference?
Easy Solution: free changes up to 24 hours before, partial refund if cancelled 24h+ ahead; same-day cancellations are non-refundable. Serviced-office cancellation policies vary by operator — read the small print on minimum notice and credit-vs-refund rules.
I'm comparing for a 30-person AGM on a Sunday — which way?
For a 30-person Sunday AGM, standalone training room is the clear choice: capacity matches (30 seats theatre-style), Sunday is at the same rate as weekday, no after-hours surcharge, external caterer allowed for tea-break. Serviced offices often charge a Sunday surcharge or are closed entirely.
