Our washer broke & our insurance was taking for to schedule someone to come fix it. I looked up the closest laundry mat near & this one popped up. PARKING: lots of parking up but at night it's very dark in the parking lot. SERVICE: I don't remember when the last time I ever had to go do my laundry at a laundry mat, maybe when I was in middle school. Can someone tell me why it's $5 to wash for only 20mins & to dry a normal size load it's probably another $4-5! That is CRAZY! & im a family of 5 so yea I had to do multiple loads. Had to come here for a good month & it's always busy. Literally waiting on the side to wait for someone. I hope I don't need to come back here again to do laundry because that's crazy for wash & dry. read more

Kapalama Launderette - Laundromat Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

This place is the best. Got the most affordable coin vending place in Kalihi. (1) Change of quarters machine, (2) soap vending machine, (3) best selection of washer/dryer coin ops too. This place is the best! The fan vents make dryer time comfortable while unloading and folding laundry. read more

I stopped by for a quick laundry day- simple wash and dry. I like the layout. Small yet clean. Washers on the wall on the left while dryers lined the wall on the right. There's a coin machine as well as a place to purchase laundry detergent and dryer sheets if you need. Dryers worked well. Super Hot. read more

Get your coins from the bank so you don't get ripped off. For every $1 dollar coin change you need, they charge 25 cents. Yup! So if you put a $1 bill in the coin machine, you only receive 75 cents back. There is also NO SIGN anywhere in the laundromat that indicates this insane exchange! If you're desperate come to this location. otherwise find another laundromat. I spent $50 read more

Kapalama Launderette - no sign that says for every $1 dollar change, you receive 75 cents - Laundromat Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

I rarely come to any laundromats. But has to come here due to our washing machines not being available at home. I like how this laundromat is open 24/7, perfect for anyone who works late and needs to get laundry done. Price wise - bigger washes are $6 and regular is $5. Dryers are 25cents for every 4 minutes. I used the bigger wash for 1 load of laundry and the bigger dryer to dry them as well. I spent $3 on the dryer for 35 minutes on HIGH HEAT. I also forgot my fabric softener and dryer sheets. I'm glad they had a little vending machine to purchase any of your laundry needs if you forget any. They were all priced at $1.25. Overall not bad... I just didn't realize how expensive laundromats can be. read more

3 stars because it's a functional laundromat that is not smelly or I bare able to be in. 3 stars is also for the green/black mildew in the inside windows of the washers that are mixing with the clothing being washed. See photos I provided. read more

Kapalama Launderette - My washer:( ewww... - Laundromat Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

See all

Laundromat is located within the Kapālama plaza. Despite what the address says you will not find the laundromat. Entrance is on Dillingham. I don't have much experience at a laundromat but had to get to one when housesitting for multiple cats and dogs and the washer was broken. Looked at the reviews before coming. Wasn't sure what to expect. $6 for 25 minutes in the large washing machine. You can choose regular or large load. $6 a large load is pretty steep- but I was washing heavy duty dirty load so it wasn't too bad- especially since it only took 25 minutes. In a bind, great! But it took me awhile to get to the location because it was located in the plaza but address was the street behind the plaza. read more

Kapalama Laundromat is clean and surprisingly not busy for a late Sunday afternoon. They have only front load washers that cost $5 per load and larger ones for $6 per load. Limited laundry supplies are available in case you forgot your personal supplies. Dryers look the same as any other place. They do have a change machine that does not have a fee. I've been to several that actually charges for you to make change. Overall, great place to do laundry with it being open 24/7. Many places to eat or get refreshments nearby. read more

Great launderette! CUE VIOLIN MUSIC...Unfortunately, my 14 year old stacked laundry center in my condo broke down and my new one will take a month to arrive. I took 2 loads of laundry to Salt Lake Laundromat to find out THEY HAVE CLOSED. Panicked, because my son was out of his school uniform, I frantically searched on Yelp to find the only one open late was Kapalama Launderette. I ventured into the heart of Kalihi and arrived to find a pretty clean looking laundromat. The people ranged from normal to sketchy. The sketchy people kept to them selves and tried their best to act normal in the well lit laundromat. People minded thier own business and were pretty polite in the small shop. The wash was $6 but note- it has a 3 load capacity. The dryer was large and strong. The cost for drying was 25 cents per 4 minutes. This is a no frills laundromat- no fun vending machines, just strictly a coin exchange machine and laundry supply machine. It seems they want you to do your laundry and get the heck out. read more

I would like this place more if they had laundry carts. You literally have to carry your wet laundry to a dryer because they have no carts. The place is small so you constantly brush against someone or have to repeatedly pardon yourself as you pass other patrons. I go here because I feel it is in a safe location as opposed to a few of the other laundrymats I have been to on O'ahu. This laundrymat is in a fairly large plaza that has many eateries. One less star for never finding a parking spot close to the laundrymat. You literally have to lug your baskets and bags from deep in the parking lot sometimes. It can be a drag. read more

Kapalama Launderette - Laundromat Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

My washing machine broke so I'm utilizing this place to help me with my weekly needs. I'm busy in the mornings so I have no time to do laundry but, I'm lucky this place is open 24 hours and is a close drive from my place. They have new washing machines, a coin dispenser, detergent/dry sheet dispensers, and a vending machine for patrons. Great for last minute chores; you can also grab a later dinner (or lunch depending what time you go) at Zippys or the other surrounding food eateries. Tip: it gets busy on Sunday nights so make sure you have coins ready before getting change at the location; sometimes the dispenser runs out of coins. read more

Kapalama Launderette - Clean dryers - Laundromat Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

My washer broke and I needed something washed for the next day so I found this place pretty close to my house. This place is pricy, $5 for a double loader and $6 for a triple loader, but it's clean and wasn't very busy when I went. I didn't need the dryer because mine works, but it takes quarters and adds a little time with each quarter as all laundromats do. Three stars because it's more costly than it should be. read more

First time doing laundry at a laundry-mat EVER and I gotta say, it was quite the adventure lol. My washer/dryer at home isn't working properly so for the time being, I need to wash my blankets and judo gis. I come here and for some reason it felt a little intimidating because there was a lot of people and they had their own fold up chairs and wagon or dolly to wheel their laundry bags or basket out lol. Fortunately, there was a lot of machines and they were huge too. In my opinion, it was pretty pricey at $5 per wash and $0.25 per 4mins for the dryer. I had like 4 load of blankets and judo gis for the washer, and 2 loads for the dryer. Thankfully the machines are huge because this would've been about at least 7 loads in my own washer/dryer. You don't have to change the filters out because I guess staff does that. The directions are very simple and there're instructional signs posted for you just in. The washer took about 15-20mins per wash and about 45mins for the dryer. There're a lot of parking. There's no staff there that I've seen, but a lot of cameras. I would highly recommend bringing your own laundry detergent and fabric softeners. What's very convenient is that there's a coin dispenser at the back of the room so you can conveniently make change. read more

Their not clean. Everything from 4 loads is $6 for 18 mins then their 3 loads for $5 for 18 mins. Their washers have mildew and mold. Its smells like McKinley car wash recycled water. read more

Don't go here unless you absolutely have too. Way over priced. Washers are $5 and you can barely fit much in there. Dryers are 25c for three minutes and they barely dry your clothes read more

6$ for large capacity. 5$ for smaller washer. Since when did prices jump this much Dryer .25$ for three min Lucky for me there was a lady that told me that certain dryers were not getting hot. Around 45 min into drying. My dryer wasnt getting hot Later a few more people we complaining theirs werent getting hot. Almost had a riot. Lol The owner came in and was collecting his money. Talk about a person without personality! He claims that the cleaning lady didnt clean the lint trap! Seriously. Ok he traps u have to wash every-so often! All he did was scrap off the light lint. And filter still looked a mess! Terrible service! read more

DONT NOT GO HERE TO WASH CLOTHES! If I could give 0 stars I would! My boyfriend and I washed our clothes yesterday around 130pm, we spent over $30 on washing and drying our clothes. I brought my clothes out of dryer #30 and they had black lines and rips all over my clothes! I called the number that was posted on the wall, I left a few voicemails and they have not called me back. I called them again today and it says their voicemail is full. I knocked on the door to their office and no answer even when I seen the lady go in the back right after she took out the trash. I will never come back here! All the clothes that were ruined were my pregnancy clothes, my and my boyfriends work clothes, my children's school clothes and the clothes we all got from Christmas. read more

So happy to know there's a laundry place that's open 24 hrs. Since Kapalama Shopping Center had their renovations, this laundry place updated their washers and dryers. A couple more dollars than I paid for at another laundry, but since they are new equipment I know I'm getting a good quality wash. I absolutely enjoy the coin dispenser for those who don't have the courage to ask for coins to do laundry at convenient stores (me). There is also detergent and softener dispensers as well. So convenient!! read more

I come here often to wash my cloths. because the laundry mat in my apartment building keeps having bed bug infestations so I won't use them anymore. It costs extra to come here but the machines are bigger and I can get a lot done for a shorter amount of time. I've gone to many laundry mats around the island and this one is by far the cleanest and best maintained. Their machines breakdown but the next time I come they're always up and running again. They don't have needless signs all over the place w broken machines and puddles of dirty water on the floor. Every time I come, sometimes very early in the AM to beat the crowds someone is always sweeping and emptying the trash bins. They don't slack unlike other laundry mats I've been to. read more

After washing clothes, the clothes were fine after we wash it but after we dry the clothes there were found to have black ink all over our kids clothes. We check all the clothes if their were a pen or marker in the clothes but their was nothing in there. read more

Went to wash and brought all our clothes into the laundromat. Just to find out the coin machine didn't work. Plus they charge a quarter to get a $1.00, $5.00, $10.00 in quarters. $.50 to get $20.00 in quarters. The Salt Lake Laundromat was better. Everything works there. read more

Its $5-$6 per washer and 3-4 minutes per $.25 for a dryer. I am not sure if that is the going rate for laundromats but the 3 stars is for my opinion on this cost and having 0 staff. Been coming here for over a year and have not seen anyone maintain anything - but that doesn't mean they are not there. Its usually as clean of a place with 0 staff. Again this is based upon opinion not a competitive comparison. read more

It was my first time there to do laundry. The machines are big and the dryers. I gave it a 3 stars because it had no benches/chairs to sit on and no sink. I put my clothes in the dryer and went to get lunch at the Korean BBQ place there and came back, one of the dryers was open but laundry was not dried completely. read more

The machines ate my quarters. Eff this place. I could not locate an associate before walking out in frustration. Somebody needs to fix the coin slots in washers 8 and 9. 8 and 9 are the only 2 that I attempted to use, and they both stole my money. I bet many more of them need to be fixed. Don't go here. You will regret it. read more

Too expensive. No roller carts for moving laundry. No where to sit down. No TV. Will never return.

A 'ole. $5.00 a load washers..really small area and no a/c. For those who do not separate laundry or for families

Got my clothes clean. Need to stay inside since going outside might need to be a promoter

I left my keys at this laundromat lasnite( one key with a black keychain that says johndeer) plz if anyone finds it let me kno. Really appreciate it. Mahalo btw love this place but don't like the price read more

It's kept clean and in good condition. Kinda pricey but worth it.

Cause it was raining on Friday had to dry clothes and found this place. Don't have phone number to see hours of operation so figured swing by this place in hopes it's open..guess it's 24 hours since no one is working and it's was open at 930 still. Not bad 4minutes for $.25. Quick and easy. Minus a star since no way to contact this place for questions regaurding the place read more

This laundromat is wonderful! They have four giant (four hampers) washers and four even bigger dryers. A giant load costs $6 and takes 26 minutes on the warm water setting. A giant dryer costs $0.25 per four minutes. I can fit two to three weeks of laundry in one giant dryer and when set on the hot setting, it dries in about 30 minutes. They have 14 triple load (three hampers) washers and 36 triple load dryers. The triple load washers cost $5 and the triple load dryers also cost $0.25 per four minutes. If you're hungry, there are plenty of eating establishments around including a Zippy's, Ahi Vegetable, The Aloha Sub, Dairyu Ramen & Curry, Elvin's Bakery, Ono Korean BBQ, Violet's Grill, Wing Stop, Bob's BBQ and Taco Bell around the corner, among others, or you can get a haircut at SuperCuts and Grace Barber Shop. The only downside is that it can get busy and it gets really hot because there is no A/C. read more

Awesome place to do laundry being that I pay an over inflated amount of rent to my landlord, who is a dick and does nothing to fix the broken washing machine at place I live at. That's another review for the worst types of landlords. So I digress, this place is clean and secure with video cameras everywhere. And when you're done with your laundry or if you get hungry in between, there are several food establishment to feed your hungry opu. read more

BAD SERVICE!!! My husband went to the place to dry the clothes last Sunday (7/24/16). When he went home I suppose to fold all the clothes and realized that all the clothes of my baby were RUINED. Get rips, holes and black lines on all the baby clothes,blankets, my pajamas too. My husband called the place since sunday but only voicemail and he even went yesterday to complaint. He spoke with the (he think) assistant or the maintenance person. He showed the clothes and complaint. The person said it is not the machine. He even blamed other people. He said maybe the last person used the machine did put something to ruin other people clothes. I did filed a complaint today at BBB. I was really upset because all the clothes are new. BEWARE....DON'T EVER GO TO WASH CLOTHES HERE...THEY WILL DAMAGE YOUR CLOTHES. P.S: Even saw the post of Ms. Arley N. yesterday. It is not only me. Her experienced was last 1/4/16. It is already July, still many people victimized by them. BEWARE!!! read more
