So on our last night in Bath, just before our train back to London we decided we would throw a load…read moreof laundry in the washer/dryer combo machine in our AirB&B... We thought we could set it and forget it and wake up to clean, dry clothes. Our first mistake was thinking that doing laundry was a good idea, our second mistake was thinking that it was a washer/dryer combo. We woke up to a ball of WET clothes. After doing some research online we realized that it was in fact just a washer and that there was no drier, so I hopped on Yelp and found this place. We hopped in an uber with a bag of wet clothes and threw our load in a dryer. (Bring your own coins as someone warned.) Just next door is a cute little cafe where we grabbed a coffee and waited. A few minutes later, VOILA! Dry clothes!

The place is fairly clean although could be better and there is only two small tables to fold clothes and one is under where the soap and fabric softener are dispensed so it was coated with laundry soap powder and the other is under the pay station (so in the way and the stuff on it gives the impression it's not meant to be used). The machines were easy to use and I really appreciated the contactless credit card payment option (without an extra fee). Just across the street is a cute little parklet with benches to enjoy some fresh air while you wait. There are also plenty of coffee shops, restaurants and grocery stores within walking distance. One of the frustrating things I encountered was that there was a laundry soap dispensing machine but it only accepts coins. So if you think you're going to be able to do your laundry without cash you better have your own soap. Also, the machine does not sell dryer sheets, only laundry soap and fabric softener. When I bought the laundry soap the box got stuck in the machine and I couldn't get it free with even my small hands. It would have also been nice if there was an unscented laundry soap option. Important to note that the last wash is at 20:00 (8 pm) even though it's open until 22:00 (10 pm). The sign says that the water supply cuts off. They do have WiFi and the code is posted on the wall. However, after I logged in it didn't actually work to connect to the internet for me. So overall, the best option I could find near the city centre of Bristol.

A series of books with the word 'launderette' or 'laundromat' in the title. * Cinnamon rolls. They rock. Why doesn't every coffeeshop have them? They're so 'fika'. It's right next to Cafe Lazz where I usually go for coffee but I might go here instead now, laundry or no laundry. Cool. Only downside: if you come in winter, wear your coat!

The first time I needed clothes washed, I engaged them to do the laundry including washing, drying and folding. Everything was neatly done as I went about my touristy fun and was ready the following morning. The second time, I stayed and enjoyed a piece of delicious home-made cake with coffee during the wash cycle. I also was able to check my email on my laptop through their wi-fi service. During the dry cycle, I had a delicious custom-made cheddar cheese sandwich. The laundrette / cafe is 22 minutes walking from my hotel, 8 minutes by bicycle, and about 12 minutes by bus. (I tried all these ways.) They are conveniently open every day from 9 AM to 5 PM. I can't recommend them more highly.

Things to note: ***Before you go, don't forget to BRING YOUR CHANGE*** There is no change machine and the prices are not insignificant (several pounds total for just one load of wash and dry). When I went, the other shops were also closed--and from what I heard, also often don't make change, especially for the amount needed for the machines. Take note of the hours, and it sounds like they will close promptly, so give yourself enough time before closing. Find it about halfway down a corridor of shops. It's all self service, no attendant, just a phone number if assistance is needed. Soap is available for purchase from a dispenser. There are different machine types to choose from, the larger capacity wash machines of course changes more. The machines that I used worked fine, and were relatively quick.

Okay, so I was until now a launderette virgin, and have to admit I was quite intimidated by the…read moreidea of visiting one because I didn't have a clue what to do. However, my spare sofa cover needed washing and is too big for my own washing machine... Sure enough, the whole launderette experience started off being quite traumatic, but now I've done it once it would be easier second time around! For fellow novices, here's what you need to know: 1. First, you need to have the right change. It's £3.20 for a wash in one of the smaller machines. During the day, they probably have someone there doing service washes who may be able to give you some change - but when I went in the evening I had to walk down the road to a newsagent's to ask for change. I had to leave my washing dumped there (because I couldn't carry it that far), and was just keeping my fingers crossed that no one would pinch it. Luckily for me (and I can't think why), no one took a shining to my dirty sofa covers and they were still safely waiting for me when I got back with the right change. 2. Next you need to choose a washing machine and put your washing and soap in. You can take your own soap, or buy it there (80p I believe). I took along a capsule type one and stuck it in the washing machine drum itself, but most people were using soap powder so I don't know if I was breaking any rules. Worked fine, though. Just make sure the knob on the front is set to the temperature you want (I think there's just a choice of 'cold', 'hot' and one other that I didn't understand). The doors are quite difficult to press shut - you have to push them quite hard! 3. To get the wash started, you put the money in not at your individual washing machine, but at a central paypoint within the launderette. You have to press in the washing machine's number, then insert the correct change, then press 'S' to start it. 4. You sit and wait about 25 minutes for a normal wash cycle to finish. I took a book and sat reading. Once all the lights are off, you can press a level to open the door and remove your washing. Job done! There are also dryers on the other side of the launderette, but I didn't use those because I thought my sofa covers might shrink - I just brought them home wet to dry naturally.

Don't ask me why I feel nostalgic - just for the record, I'm not an old pensioner reminiscing about 'the good old days down the launderette'. I suppose I just enjoy the sense of community this place inspires. Furthermore, if you have laundry that requires a thorough clean, and whites that could be whiter, this is the place to go.

However I can still remember the days of living without one and in those days, I spent a lot of time at places like this.

The machines are in good nick but there's no music - always a letdown. They operate a dry cleaning service here with a couple of irresistible deals to entice - such as the current three garments for £12. Can't beat that!
