Great spot with functioning machines. Clean. Great mural inside. Takes coins and payment through app

Payment and systems worked super well and efficiently. The place was also very clean I had no hesitancy doing my laundry.

The washing machines in our building were too small for what I needed to wash, so I decided to try Golden Gate Laundry, which is about three blocks away. The place is well kept and clean, and there are two, maybe three, different machine sizes in there, all in very good working shape. The best way to pay for the machines here is to use the PayRange app, which I did. Once installed, put some money in it, then locate the machine number and pay for it. Not a big deal, it just takes a few minutes to download and set up the app. Anyhow, I was in and out of there in less than 45 minutes. read more

All machines worked, place was clean, and now clothes are too! Great neighborhood to stroll while clothes tumble. 9/10. Minus one for size. read more

Renovated laundromat, you can pay using PayRange. No ATM. It's empty on Sundays at 8:00 p.m. You can do laundry until 9:30 p.m. at the latest; Wi-Fi and a change machine are available. On Sunday night, a woman arrived to clean. It is located just a few blocks from the RIU Hotel. A good place to do laundry. read more

Machines are constantly broken. When they're not completely broken they're so poorly maintained that they leave soap scum residue on all your clothes. Unhoused people constantly in and out stealing clothes or putting their dirty clothes in with yours. A truly unpleasant experience and sadly one of the only options for people that live nearby. I had to spend 15 dollars just washing one load of laundry because the machines wouldn't properly rinse my clothes. Absolutely ridiculous. read more

Golden Gate Laundry - Machines out of order. Dirty facilities. - Laundry Services Near Me - San Francisco, California

Most of the machines are either completely out of order or don't function properly (ie: not fully rinsing soap scum out during the washing cycle or not actually heating your clothes to dry them). Homeless people are everywhere so you cannot leave your clothes unattended. Out of order requests left unattended that are over a week old. It truly feels like a scam to eat people's quarters. Every time I have to come here, it makes me just want to buy new clothes instead of coming back. Do better. Yelp should allow for 0 stars in reviews read more

great place to do your laundr! clean and safe environmen! staff was super friendly! it's located on mason and chestnut

I needed a place to wash clothes on our trip to San Francisco. I felt safe going there in the daytime. My husband went with me the first time and we took our 2 kids to wash and dry clothes. I used Wash This! again on our trip home and took my daughter. The second time was busier than the first, but still had enough washers and dryers. Price is reasonable and I'd use again if I were ever in the area. 5 stars - there's nothing like clean clothes especially on a trip. read more

Glad they replaced that creepy guy. The new one is very good. Wash/dry machines, tables, and everything are always clean and change machine always has quarters. If you call the number for any reason, you get a very prompt response. read more

I stayed in Fishermen's Wharf area for two weeks and came here on a Friday afternoon and it was immaculately clean. No problems with any of the equipment here. read more

Horrible. The dryers smell burnt and some of the washers didn't complete the spin cycle so now my clothes are DRENCHED.

Giving this place stars because it's generally empty the times I've gone. However the floors are littered with trash and the dryers don't work! They seem burnt out and outdated and when I fed quarters in the machine just ate my money and didn't operate. Sounds like a scam in my book. For such a nice area you'd think they would spend a little more investment to try and fix the place up. read more

Clean laundromat! Prices are fair ! Well lit facilities and Safe feeling which is important in SF. Trader Joe's is one block away and so is the Library. They have good selection here f soaps and softener. Really cool "Shine Pay" app to use on phone to pay for wash/dry. Also, has ATM and coin machine ... to get use. I appreciate that! Great place for tourist! read more

I know this is a laundromat and not some fancy restaurant but they have been a life saver whenever I have to wash something huge (e.g., duvet, comforter, large blanket, etc.) or the machine in my building is out of service. Some of the machines even let you pay with an app which can really come in handy. Most of the other patrons are tourists which can allow you to meet cool new folks or locals that you can catch up with. read more

Well, the other laundry places in the immediate area are rated higher. Then there is "This". At the very least there is plenty of parking which at there others there are not. And, a coffee place next door and an ATM machine inside, I really felt this place should be at a slightly higher mark! It's long time overdue for all of these places to be upgraded with super clean machines and WiFi (which "this" doesn't have). "This" is not too terrible in a pinch though. read more

I think this is a pretty good wash house considering there is an ATM inside along with a coin dispenser. A few blocks up the machines get pretty pricey. They also have a few different sized washers including the large commercial machines, and the dryers are really big. Another plus: there is free wi-fi at the cafe across the street and the neighbors are pretty friendly. Doing laundry sucks, but if you can cram a bunch of dirty clothes into one machine and surf the net while you wait - it's not so bad. There is a payphone in there too, so sometimes, you get regular crazies chatting it up.... but it is one of the last pay phones in SF - so that's pretty impressive - right? read more

I've been going to this laundromat for over two years. It's definitely a no frills kind of place, and it's definitely not perfect, but I can at least get my laundry done here at the end of the day. And that's what counts, right? Lol I usually come on week nights around 8 or 9, or weekend mornings/early afternoons. If you go on a weekend I highly recommend going early or late in the day as mid-day is most crowded. Weeknights are usually pretty good in terms of the crowds, should not be a problem to pick out your desired washing machine. I always stick to the white, $3 top-load washing machines. They're the cheapest washing machines in there. They have bigger machines for more money (up to $5.50) but if I just have a normal amount of laundry from the past 2-3 weeks, I can usually be fine with 2 or 3 of the $3 machines- depending on how much sorting of darks/whites/delicates I have to do. Dryers by the way are $0.25/5 minutes. They're pretty strong, usually I dry all my clothes in 25-30 minutes. The coin machine is meh, lol I've struggled with it for years. Just try your best to bring your freshest bills and hope for the best. There's two slots on the coin machine, sometimes one's out of order but at least one is usually working. I would love it if this place could upgrade and have machines that accept cards, like my college dorms had that at least, but I've learned to accept that we can't always get what we want lol. There are times when dryers don't work so just make sure to check the dryer is hot a few minutes into starting your cycle. Actually I think I only experienced it once with dryer #28 so don't use that one- on the top right end. And several times I've had issues with machines eating up my coins. On each occasion this has happened, at least 4 times, I've left a little refund request slip in this little black box and like a week later I'll receive like $2 cash in the mail in a random envelope with no note or anything - in other words it's weird lol and I feel like each time it's coming from a different address. Which leads me to believe that the guy who owns the laundromat is some weird millionaire on vacation constantly and owning multiple homes and not really giving a shit about the quality of his laundromats because it works "good enough" to provide steady income. LOL but I've digressed... I at least appreciate that you don't ever have to worry about losing money to the machines- I've always gotten paid back. One of the biggest and maybe only pros to this place are the hours. They are open daily 7am to 10:45pm, last wash at 9:45pm. Okay, the second pro is that Trader Joe's and Safeway are up the street, so I often do grocery shopping while waiting for my laundry. The final pro is that there is a bench and a table that I often hop on and sit comfortably on while waiting for my laundry - other places in the area don't have that much seating to offer. Now, most importantly, let's talk about the characters who hang around this joint. I'm honestly concerned sometimes when I'm in here lol but after over two years I've just learned to settle and accept the discomfort. There's like a few crazy, homeless, drunk guys that often just sit on the bench here. There's like one weirdo half the time I come here. I'm not sure why the laundromat doesn't seem to take any steps toward warding these guys off but anyway. I always try to avoid eye contact with them and always keep to myself. They luckily haven't bothered me too much but their presence can be disruptive especially when they're smelly and drunk and there are beer cans around the laundromat. I blame them for the beer cans but maybe normal people are just drinking while doing laundry lol who knows. Besides the homeless guys, the people who do laundry can be super varied characters as well. I think some are foreigners visiting, I hear a lot of people with different accents, others are just weird but I can't put a story behind them. One time this weird old guy with a beard started talking to me when I was minding my own business, asking me about Cal cuz I had a Cal t-shirt on. He said he went to Cal too in the 70s and before you know it he's trying to ask me out for drinks. No, no, no!! Lol. I remember looking especially effortless that day, lol like in my pajamas and glasses and no makeup. It was like a weekend morning, it's too early for that shit! Leave me alone! Lol I should really be giving this place less stars but I've come to terms with it and would rather feel more positive than rant negatively about it. If you're in the hood and this is the most convenient place for you, I think you'll learn to accept the discomfort and weirdness like I have. read more

This is closest to my apartment. It's small- but most of the machines do work- or there is signage to indicate otherwise. Only drawback is I've noticed homeless and bums tend to use this as a pit stop to clean whatever they may have -- so it can smell a little dodgy and seem kinda random - and in general avoid weekends. It's a zoo. read more

washing clothes at this laundromat today, 4 loads clothes to dry machine, 30 minutes later came back lost 1 loads clothes at the dry machine , thieves came this laundromat stolen clothes , have security camera there , call the owner tell them this incident, he said the security camera was full video cannot caught the thieves ! read more

I only used this place once, but I used it this week. Our washing machine is down. So I brought four pieces of laundry here. I am posting this as a warning: Do not use! The place is a scam. I used their so-called premium commercial washer. $5.50 per load. The Spin Cycle/extractor is so lame you have to hand-wring your laundry. Except the place has no sink. And who in your home owns Queen Speed appliances? In my one session at this horror show, the Speed Queen machines ripped apart my belongings. Instead of posting this review, I should sue the owner. I will never go to this place again. Neither should anyone! read more

Golden Gate Laundry - Pretty typical... - Laundry Services Near Me - San Francisco, California

Needed a quick spot to wash my clothes after a few days in Yosemite and this place was close to my hotel. It was clean and not busy. I was able to wash and dry my clothes and walk across the street for a coffee. I was skeptical based on the reviews but, soon realized it was just a basic laundromat in the city. Along with any other business, a wide range of people may frequent the spot including homeless people but, I never felt unsafe at the time I was there between 7-8 am. In and Out within a hour. read more

Laundromats! There are maybe 4 great ones on the planet, and I've never been to any of them. However, I've gotta give it up for the alright but cheesily-named Wash This!, because its 2 blocks from my house. Trader Joe's and Safeway/Walgreens are within a block of the place, as is Barne's &Noble, so killing time is easy. Most machines get fixed quickly, its clean, the driers are hot, and there's never a bum washing his nasty shit in there (like Today Laundromat on California St). Never had a laudry/dryer fight in here, which is important, because all people hate washing their clothes in public. Whatever. read more

Well, I guess there's a reason a laundromat gets such low ratings. Change machine doesn't work, go to get change, come back and it's filled with people drinking 40s. And it smells like pee all over the place... I feel like I need to take a shower and get some shots after visiting this place. read more

This place was caught on fire! The fire department came and put out the fire. The next thing we know, this place is still in business after the fire even though the dryer's door exploded. read more

Don't know what people are complaining about. Unless there are some stylish places around here to get your washing done! I came early, around 8am. Place was deserted and washed my clothes just fine. Not sure that this is the place you would come for a social visit but it got the job done for me! read more

No complaints here. My machines worked, dryer dried my load in 40 mins. ATM, coin machine, folding table, and soap/dryer sheet dispenser available. What I really liked is the cafe with free WiFi right across the street to help kill the time. Also, no hobos outside when I went around 3-4pm. read more

The apocalyptic reviews on here don't reflect my experience of the place. Clean, everything worked fine, and no vagrants to be seen. Just a normal laundrette. read more

I have lived around the corner from this neighborhood spot for 3 years and have used these machines nearly every two weeks. I have had countless bad experiences here but it seems tonight I have reached my breaking point and I am now vowing to never return.... after I hopefully retrieve my clothes tomorrow morning (more on that to come shortly). Please do not be persuaded by the other reviews by individuals who have frequented this location only once and appear to yelp for yelping sake only. What's wrong with this place? 1. Numerous machines are always out of order. They are far too expensive to not have adequate maintenance 2. Dryers suddenly shut off or mysteriously switch to low heat so that you return to a wet pile of laundry (this happens regularly) 3. I wouldn't call the clientele problem a homeless problem as that would be demeaning to the homeless population. The problem is drunk, mentally ill, and occasionally threatening individuals. Just 2 weeks ago I had to nearly break up a confrontation between a paying customer and a mentally ill individual who appeared very intoxicated and was yelling racial slurs at both the paying customer and the women who was preparing to lock the place up. 4. This place closes at 11:15 PM which is terrific for people like me who often work late. Tonight I had a load of clothes in the dryer and returned at 10:35PM, precisely when the drying was suppose to be completed, only to find the place completely locked up and machines off. I could see my clothes through the window still sitting in the machine undoubtedly still wet. I had heard of this happening to others before but always disregarded it. Please do not use this place for your own benefit and for the long term benefit of this community. I sincerely hope for the benefit of this community that people stop using this spot so that it loses enough revenue to be sold to an owner capable of managing such a simple business or at least move the current owner to action. I will post a follow up when I find a nearby alternative that I feel comfortable recommending. Thanks, Matt read more

It's a laundromat, and it works. No complaints, although my dryer seemed a little slow (a very small load, I would have thought 30 mins more than enough). But it's clean, lots of washers and dryers, an ATM, change machine, washing powder machine. I was there around 11am on Sunday so it was pretty busy. There is a nice looking cafe across the street, but as it was busy, I didn't want my clothes to end up turfed (or possibly taken, as seems to have happened to others). It's small, well-lit and felt quite safe to hang out at the laundromat until the washing was done. read more

I've only used this place a half dozen times but it's always worked well. Drying is a bargain and washing slightly overpriced. It's clean and always full of interesting folk. read more

Aside from the unsavory vagrants that use this place as their clubhouse the overpriced washers and dryers are consistently out of order, mysteriously switching to the no heat setting for unknown reasons, and/or ripping and burning your clothes. This is the fourth set of $200 sheets that has been ripped and burnt in a Wash This! dryer. It is never the same dryer so there is no way to tell what you are gonna get. I have tried leaving notes for the management and have never received a response. I only ever use this place as a last resort and pay for it every single time. Really hope they lose the lease on the place and get a new owner who knows how to manage a business. read more

Hard to get excited about a laudromat, people generally use the one most convenient and I am no different, the place is at the corner. Nice mural inside of North Beach. More importantly, yesterday I got an ERR message from two machines. This morning I went back and got another. I was annoyed to tell the truth. I dialed the number posted for emergencies and was called back by Ted, the owner within minutes. He said, "I'm on my way down there." He fixed the problem and comped me a couple of loads. You really can't ask for more. A responsible business owner who cares about his customers. Kudos, Ted! read more
