My two cents. I'd recommend against it, at least when abroad. As are all my coworking experiences, the reality is more akin to working at a cafe with wifi than being part of a community (but perhaps I'm the odd one out, which may or may not have to do with being about 20 years older than the others).

I was upsold my own desk at a WeWork Netherlands, when there was clearly space at the hot desks (they denied there was room for me), but due to needing a work space sooner than later, I regretably accepted the up-sell. The deposit was twice the hot desk, and while they accepted my money very quickly, getting it back was another story. It took 3 months to get my deposit back, after just one month at WeWork. They failed time and time again to fix my situation or, IMHO, to take it seriously.

The environment was nice enough, but their handling of my money turned me off from ever dealing with them again.
