Yeah ;-) There are solutions. Members clubs. Plain old hotel rooms. But mostly the price-point is way to high for an hour or two. The overhead and friction in booking and checking in is also substantial.
I've got a Regus gold card. The number of times I've actually used it in the last 18months - zero. Because the friction in actually making a booking and getting something sane out the other end is so high. I find especially memorable the time where I was running on EST in London and wanted to work at night, was told verbally that Regus has 24 hour office space at X address, only to show up to find a confused security guard and no access ;-)
Hi adrianhoward. I'm glad you appreciate the difference (I'm the founder of this company), and I wanted a seamless experience, which is why we made it that way.
Breather is designed to allow you to pop in and out of private space while around a city, and it works really well. I hate talking to people when I check into things (hotels, airports, etc.) so we designed this as self-serve.
Come try it out sometime. Here's a coupon for you: HACKERNEWS.

So it seems like a gap in the market to me !
