A quiet, organised and confy co-working space with business support and key media tools available to for members. Where you can work, learn and make good networking. Will definitely come back.

Cheap and good place to work. They should have some spaces which could be used as temorary faith spaces instead of saying no.

This is a really good place to get your head down and get on with some work! I've used quite a few co-working spaces in and around the same area and this one is the best, because: price - much lower than competitors, it's not even close; ease of booking a desk - it's done in like 15 seconds; location - not right in the hustle & bustle of the City, but a 2 minute walk across the road to get there; vibe - calm, relaxed and inviting; staff - all very welcoming and helpful; resources - 1-to-1 business help, events, networking, and access to various tools and databases; and, most crucially (for me at least), MONITORS & EQUIPMENT! I can't work productively from a 13 inch Macbook Pro as a web designer/developer, and I always miss my larger screen when out and about with just my laptop. This place has monitors all over the place from standard ones to Apple High Definition with charging capabilities (so I can leave my charger at home), and up to Samsung Odyssey OLED G9 49-inch Curved DQHD Monitors. For the price you really can't complain - and they offer free trails! I'm yet to try to St Peters Sq one, but Royal Mills is an excellent space. 🌟

A big part of what makes this space so great is the team. The team here are honestly great, and not only help you settle in to the space well, but provide you great support too, with your business, and have helped me massively progress. The space itself is relaxed but well organised, and a lot of that comes down to how the team run things. The team is friendly, easy to talk to, and always around if you need anything. Just a nice place with all the facilities you need and nice people.

Great staff, everyone working there is really helpful and friendly and I really enjoy the environment. However, the IT policies are crap and I wouldn't recommend this for any technically savvy businesses. They block URLs which aren't harmful (e.g. webpages about VPN providers), I can't push my work to GitHub via SSH as it's blocked for some reason, and I can't work on client projects that require me to connect to my clients' VPN as that's blocked too. It also appears that they use some custom policy for reinspecting network traffic which gives me serious privacy concerns - this isn't a normal way to run things. I've worked from a lot of different coworkings in different locations and never seen such a draconian IT policy being applied before.
Storage in coworking spaces can be limited, with most of it reserved for members with dedicated desks and private offices. However, you can reach out to the coworking operator using the form on the right side of the page to see what options are currently available.
Yes, you can certainly take a tour of the space before signing up for a membership. In fact, it’s encouraged, to help you get a feel for what your workday will look like. Reach out here to set up a time to come and see the space.
Whether you need a short-term workspace solution or something more permanent, Generator Manchester - Generator - Royal Mills has you covered. Day Passs and Meeting Rooms are available by the hour. But you can book Day Passs for an entire day.
Most coworking space amenities are open to all members, regardless of the membership plan. Meeting rooms require prior reservation, and private offices are exclusively available to those with subscription packages. However, the lounge, kitchen, and breakout spaces are open to everyone. Complimentary amenities are also available to all, while ancillary services can be purchased or negotiated individually with Generator Manchester.
The open desk is the way to go if you’re looking for a flexible workspace in an open environment where you can socialize with other members. Or, choose a dedicated desk if you want a designated space that also allows you to keep in touch with the community.
A private office works wonders if you or your team need a quiet, secluded space to conduct your work and interact with people in your organization.
It’s important to understand the different types of coworking arrangements available to you, depending on the type of work that you do and its duration, and whether you’re a solo worker or part of a team.
