Need answers? We’re on it.

Quick answers for curious minds

Wondering about bookings, events, or the space? Dive into our top FAQs and get the scoop in seconds.

How do I get in-out of the studio?

To maintain the safety of the Booster we keep the doors locked when the studio is out of use. When the whole building is locked (out of frame hours, or holidays) We come and open-close the front door for you.

Can I bring a pet?

We welcome you and your pet in our space! We ask you to make sure you keep the studio clean, just like at home. 

How long can I book the studio for?

As long as you find the space available in our calendar. You can also rent the space for weekends, holidays or out-of-frame hours, like early mornings or late nights for additional price.

How often can I book the studio?

As often as you like and you find the space available in our calendar. If you plan to book frequently, let us give you a discount!

How many people can be in the studio all at once?

We can provide about 40 seats for your event. The space is big enough to hold 60-70 people standing.

Should I worry about the neighbours?

No, as long as you pay attention not to be too loud, and keep your activity on a level that is respectful towards the neighbours. There is a Tattoo studio next door, with nice and friendly people, and an office space below us.
You'd be appreciated if you use the studio considering the neighbours in working hours (9am-5pm).

Can I cancel my booking?

You can cancel your bookings free of charge until the last 48 hours of your schedule. Within the last 48 hours we deduct 25% from your booking fee.

Can I book on holidays?

Yes, you can! For an additional price we open our space for you.

Where can I park?

Wherever you can find a spot on Baker St, or in the surrounding area. Don’t forget the meters Mon-Sat 9am - 5pm! The nearest free parking spaces are uphill in either of the parallel streets, like Ward or Stanley street (5-8 min walk from studio).

Can I require help/assistance for my session?

Yes, you can! We are ready to give you professional guidance, assistance or any help you need. You can ask for assistance every time you book. This service comes with an additional price.

Can I do loud activities?

For louder activities we have to take our kind neighbours into consideration. Outside their opening hours you have the possibility to get louder. We'll mark these hours in our calendar for you, to make things easier.

Can I make a mess while creating?

Yes you can. Creativity requires some mess sometimes, and it’s OK. Let us know in advance if you are planning to have such activities, so we can prepare the floor and walls to stay intact and clean. Or please do it yourself. 
Important: leave the conditions of the Booster the way you entered.
