Your basic coin-op laundromat. Love that they have their own parking lot, tons of machines ranging in load size ($5-$10 a wash; dryers 25¢/6 min) and attendants in case you need help. Only wish it wasn't literally coin operated. Little cumbersome. But overall, it's fine, and nice to have in the neighborhood. read more

I've been coming to this place for many years. Today I had a terrible experience. My clothes did not wash all the way and I did not ask for a refund. I asked if they could rewash my items. The Asian owner said no he is not able to and I have to pay again and the Hispanic woman said there's nothing she can do. They were extremely rude. I decided to take my clothes elsewhere and have them re-washed.. read more

Very nice people here and it's always clean! Also it's very spacious with a nice parking lot! Definitely love coming here and would recommend! Support a local business! read more

I don't normally get laundry service so I wasn't aware that they charge by the lb. I came here and dropped off a large duvet (which probably weighed 4lbs). I believe minimum charge is $20. No big deal but next time I'll definitely bring all the duvets! It was cleaned and ready in time. They have a somewhat chaotic parking lot but when I'm just dropping off stuff, not a big deal and have never had issue finding street parking nearby. read more

I have done my laundry once in the machines and it was easy. I love that there is a parking lot. It's also in a good neighborhood to get a coffee or food while doing laundry. My 5 stars is mostly because I used the wash and fold service today and it exceeded my expectations. I went in at around 9am and had 28 pounds of laundry (all my daughter's!) to do before a trip she is going on. The 2 washers at my apartment complex were out of order and I didn't know how I would get it all done. They had it ready for me by 1:30pm! I paid about $40. It was worth the it. So fresh and excellently folded. read more

If I can give zero stars I would. I have used their wash and fold service. I have received multiple items of clothing back DAMAGED and STAINED. They tell you that they are not responsible for the damage and that it was the detergent you provided. I understand rules and I'll let that slide. But for a business not to admit or own up to their mistakes is beyond unacceptable. I have provide photo proof of their negligence and they continued to place blame on me. And for coin washing, their machines are incredibly dirty. read more

Requires $10 worth of quarters to wash one load of laundry and there is no change machine to swap bills for coins. The place is dirty, numerous machines are broken, and no one was wearing a mask. This place is close to our home, but we left and went to a cleaner mat that uses an app connected to your debit card for payment. read more

Came here every other week for about two years and they really took care of me. And just like my mentors at work tell me all the time: it takes 1-5 days to ruin a business of 10 years and it takes one person to ruin the experience of a long time customer. Thanks Myra for being that representative. Never coming back again. They only accept cash and when you forget your wallet at a private event--they don't try their best to accommodate. I've been accommodated so many times and she said "it doesn't matter if you're a customer for 20 years..." Maaaaan. That hurts. I'm out. read more

This place is filthy and does not offer change to use in their machines, signs say "bring coins from home". Dude, really?

This place has great drop off and pick up. Clothes are fresh and look great. Thank you!!

The parking area gets pretty full on the days I go but the area is pretty low key, facility is clean, and feels safe. They also offer clean and fold services which I haven't tried yet. Only thing is that the bathroom never has tissue or hand soap, but hey it does say "not for public use". They still let you use it so I guess I can't complain....just would like to be able to wipe my butt if I need to lol. read more

This place is okay. After coming here for years, I wanted to stop in one night just to get some quarters for the wash at my apt complex. I wanted change for a 20. I mean they are getting the money anyway right? And its not like the place was full of people.. it was about to close at 10pm or so. The lady was downright rude to me. I asked her if I could as a long time patron and she told me some b-s about how she has to pay some fee to the bank now. I offered to pay the fee and she still denied me my quarters. How rude? Plus, this place should be open later. Who closes at 10 anyway? I won't be back. read more

I've used them for the last two years . But over the last two months I've had about 400$ worth of clothing not be returned to me with the wash an fold service . I come here every two weeks an spend 120$-150$ doing the wash and fold . I've searched my whole car and house for the missing items and there just gone . read more

I used their wash and fold a few times. The workers are consistently rude. Most importantly, though, they will DAMAGE YOUR CLOTHES WITH OLD MACHINES AND DENY IT! When I picked up my clothes, there was a weird grease that looked like mechanical grease. When I pointed out that it was all over my clothes, they said that I brought it in that way! The owner would not compensate me for the damaged clothes and said that I was lying about not having damaged the clothes myself. Save yourself hundreds and go elsewhere. read more

I am just going on the dry and fold. Been coming here for 10 yrs there are not too many options for laundry in this location. When I first started coming here it was a cool place! It had video games, little rides for kids, all sorts of entertainment. You can drop your cloths their wash and fold and it was well sorted! I was like this is cool a lot of times you could get it the same day!!! Win, Win! Oh but how things have changed and I may have to start going farther for a more respectful wash and fold service. If I spent over $125 dollars expect everything to be sorted. Adult socks with adult socks, Baby socks with baby socks all tee-shirts in the same bag this should not be a scooby doo mission to find clues on where is my under wear, where is my dress shirts? Oh it is mixed in with my jeans, oh found my dress shirt in the sock bag. I rather wait an extra day or better yet do it myself if everything is going to be thrown in half heatedly. The sock bad was the worse!! The people in the past took great care in the wash and fold service I do not know who these people are but they are not respecting my dollar and it may be time to take my business elsewhere. This place used to be Great now it is below mediocre. read more

Different sized washers cost as follows:$2.50, $4.75, $6 and $7.50 per load. Dryers are all 25 cents per 6 minutes per load. Machines only take quarters. Bring small bills because there's only a change machine to give quarters and the attendant will not break your $20 bill into $10s and $5s for you. I came to wash one load and only had a $20 bill, but didn't want to have $10 in extra quarters I'll never use. I came on a weekday mid-day and there was parking available in the lot and not many people inside. There are plenty of tables and chairs where you can sit and wait, TVs on the walls and coffee and food places nearby. They have large washers and dryers, which were perfectly sized to wash my comforter. It took a little less than 30 mins to wash my comforter in the $6 machine and 24 minutes ($1) to dry. They have a snack machine, drink machine, they sell small packets of soap for $1, larger bottles of Clorox for $5. read more

Launderland will not let customers use the coin change machines. Notes taped up all over "Due to Covid customers will need to bring their own quarters" How ridiculous is that!! Lost my business for good. read more

This review marks the end of an era. I've finally bought my very own front loading washer and dryer, so my days of hauling big blue Ikea bags to Launderland are at an end. As a habit, I would bring in loads of clothes and choose from among the large, extra-large, humongous and gargantuan washers. There is a size for every load and the equipment is fairly new and in good working order. The rates are comparable to other local wash houses but this place is exceptionally clean, perpetually staffed, and has lots of carts for rolling garments from one place to another and hanging clothes upon. Also, there is comfortable seating, video games if you need that, and lots of space to fold and stack. They do have signs asking people to keep an eye on their kids and only once have I seen youngsters running amok. Based on what I could tell, they learned this behavior from their mother. I would improve this place with 2 amenities: 1) a restroom would be really nice and 2) a sink to wash my hands in after I add the soap. One of the big draws to this Launderland is the bevy of delicious of breakfast spots near by. We've found that stopping for red flannel hash next door at Full House allows just enough time for the wash cycle and gives us the energy to dry, hang, fold and dash to the rest of our errands. While I'll never MISS going to the laundry-mat, I'm so glad this Launderland made a chore much-much less loathsome. read more

All right I thought I had found the perfect laundromat, what with Woody's across the street from the Parkway and all, but oooh wee. Was I wrong. I hate to break it to my lady with the knee pads but. That's the way it do. Well, maybe when Woody's was a little cheaper and less crowded it was the best. They DID just have customer appreciation day! Anyhow, I realized what I had been missing out on when I tried this place on Sunday after eating at Full House (full house rawks because the place is wall to wall pictures of dogs playing poker). So Lim's Launderland is the ultimate because: It's 10,234,635 sq. ft. They have a Wells Fargo ATM in house. They sell Macrame shite and oversized decorative fans and hella faux objet d'arts and stuffed animals. And luggage. They have Simpsons pinball and 50 different types of those sticker photo booths. They have some machine where you put in 50 cents and watch an oversized plastic Sailor Moon sing. The place is lined all the way around with 50s diner tables and chairs. There's tiki lounge tables and chairs outside to chill. They have snacks and a bathroom. No ice heads harassing me for change. Well. There was this one coked out looking chick asking me how much it cost to wash, what, like, $1.25? Pffh. Shoot. Girl this is 2006. Maybe that's the square root of how much it costs! So otherwise, who WAS at Launderland then, might you inquire? 4 girls all lazy acting with fake babies on their arms for school projects. One accidentally dropped her baby on the floor and I stood by in terror thinking it was a real kid. 2 kids throwing eachother down the hall in the carts. Some Boricuan papi in a Gucci sweater eyeballing me. Usually I'm oblivious, but he WAS. Some dude with an Albertson's cart scrounging through the trash for cans. Two 150lb monster dryers in the back. Plus: It's in the Laurel district, right up the street from the dirty thirties! Home of aforementioned Full House Cafe, The 7 Seas Bar, Farmer Joe's, Africa by the Bay. And the Victory Outreach Evangelism Center. Which is a little scary to me. It looks like a giant purple movie theater, but oh well. Hollah. read more

This is a great laundromat. I recently went to a different one in oakland and man did I miss this place. As far as cost, it is not that expensive. There are cheap small washers in the back. But I usually go in with a LOT of laundry (at least 2 weeks worth of clothes) and it usually costs me about $6 for everything. And it is spic and span clean. Like super duper clean. They also offer wash and fold service at $0.85 a pound. When I brough in 2 weeks worth of clothes the cost for them to wash, fold, hang shirts (with my hangers) was $25. That's shockingly cheap. I have decided to treat myself once a month to wash and fold, and it makes me feel like a weathly one percenter. read more

This is my laundromat. I'm not sure how it compares in price to other laundromats - I feel like it's a little expensive but I'm not sure. I usually spend close to $20 there, and get probably at least four regular-sized loads done. I like it because it's decorated cute (really, it's nicer to spend two hours in a spot that's got plants and cute signs on the wall than nothing), there are plenty of tables to sit at, and they have free wi-fi (at least I'm pretty sure they do. I usually just read while I'm there.) It's never super crowded either, and I've gone at all different times of day and days of the week, including weekends. They have a couple of vending machines full of yummy drinks too. :) read more

Unlike most people, I enjoy going to the laundromat. Most of you probably think I like it for one of the following reasons: 1. Because I want to die, but feel guilty about putting my parents and friends through a "suicide funeral," so I go to the laundromat because there's a very good chance of getting killed without it being my fault. 2. Good place to find quarters on the ground. 3. Because my feet are wet and I want to dry my socks, and my underwear is yanking out my pubes because I've been wearing it (inside out) for several days and I'm getting a "matting" effect. So I can rinse them out in the sink and use the dryer for a few minutes with the quarters I find, and then life is set. All of those answers are wrong. I like going to the laundromat because it's a chance to sit around and do absolutely nothing, which is my favorite thing to do. Sometimes it's nice to stare and drool at a rotating cylinder that has my underwear in it. In fact, most times, that's a pretty good thing. Launderland makes this easy to do. They have a parking lot, so if I had a car, that would be convenient. They also have Neo Geo, which I won't play, but I'll sure look at it for a few minutes. The downside is that it's kind of expensive, but I only dry my clothes there after I shower in them or after it rains. I'm sure there's something that sucks about this place, but I can't think of anything offhand. But to be fair, I'm still hypnotized from the spin cycle, and I just entered the megabong zone. read more

1 star because you're open and 1 star because it's clean. However.... these prices are ridiculous! And the fact there are only 4-6 washers of the smaller size (2 of which are out of order) is also ridiculous. After a long day and lugging my laundry here I don't feel like leaving so I'm paying double the price to wash. And your snack machine is expensive also. SMH. Never again read more

I was unimpressed with this place. I saw good reviews and wifi so I tried it. First, there is NO WIFI here. And the machines are super expensive. They're quite large, but I don't want to pay $4.25 for a wash. No, thank you. Not again. read more

So sad to drop by rating. My relationship with Launderland started out great. My rating is for their drop off service. I'm an extremely busy person and I don't have time to do my own laundry, so I dropped off laundry every 2 to 3 weeks or so. I patronized this place for over 3 years. It's pretty affordable. It started out pretty reliable. I loved having same day service and perfectly folded laundry every time. The convenience was worth the drive and the price. Then something happened. I don't know what. It started with one time I had dropped my loads of early in the morning and asking for same day service. I always give ample time, so I returned late that night and my laundry still wasn't done. No work shirts for the next day, and no linens for my bed. The employee was also unapologetic. I decided this could be just an off day, and gave them another chance. It happened two more times after that. There goes that reliability factor. The real problems started when my laundry came back stained... twice. I had about $100+ dollars of formal dress shirts come back ruined from Launderland. First there was a grey, gummy substance all over some of my clothes. The second (and last) time there were reddish ink spots on almost every article of clothing I had. It was as if these employees don't know how to wash colors and whites separately. Good luck trying to get reimbursement or a discount. When mistakes like this are made you can be as polite or as assertive as possible... they're unapologetic. It also seems that when certain employees are working, the clothes are late and/or folded improperly. What do I pay for exactly? I thought I was paying for same day wash and fold service, but I'm not getting it here... not anymore. read more

DO NOT BRING YOUR LAUNDRY HERE. I dropped 3 bags of clothes for wash and fold service and 15 minutes later everything was STOLEN. Launderland has done nothing about it and is avoiding all responsibility and our attempts at reaching out to ownership. We are talking thousands of dollars worth of clothes, not to mention sentimental items- everything I wear on a daily basis. F THIS PLACE AND THEIR MANAGEMENT. read more

Started coming here after moving to the neighborhood. Began with pretty good laundering then over the yrs machines started to crumble & the owner would just let them sit malfunctioned for months on end. The last few months I've been doing self laundry here, it gets more packed because there are less machines for customers to use due to a lot of non-working ones. Today I am doing my weekly laundry and am totally fed up, will be my last wash here. read more

This place is great! They have places to sit with tables for folding and they have "cafe" style seating by the front windows. There are 4 different washer sizes. One that is about $7 which is the biggest and then it goes to $5.50, $4.50, and $2.50 I think. As for the dryer I didn't notice sizes but the one I used was .25 cents for 6 minutes of dry time. I tried to take mental notes. I used a $5.50 washer which holds about two loads of laundry and it took like 30 mins to dry so I didn't spend that much to wash today. I hope this information is helpful! read more

This review is for the delivery and washing service. Our first try was great. We dropped a ton of items off and they turned them around quickly and delivered them without a hitch. The clothes looked great! Then we dropped off our second batch for cleaning and the results were... not so good. Though many items were satisfactory, several items (most of the whites, some towels and a few other pieces) had orange streaks on them! Everything is packed and bagged so you don't really see anything until you've left their location. So, we contacted them as soon as we discovered the streaks and encountered some of the worst customer service Oakland has to offer. Basically, the woman who responded gave us a big 'suck it' and grudgingly agreed to wash one shirt. I guess it's back to Woody's. Pro: delivery, first time was great Con: poor customer service, streaks read more

This is about as clean as you can get. I used this place to clean a soiled uniform. Lots of big washer and small washers for your use. I lost count how many big dryers they have. They keep this place really clean. I'll come back in a heartbeat if I need to wash my uniform again. read more

After getting over the shock of washers that require anywhere from 13-28 quarters to run (those are BIG washers), I do like the following: Machines are clean and work well. Layout is nice, here are tables to fold and seating along the front. Since they also run a wash and fold service, the owners have always been around and visible when I've been there, which is a plus. I saw one owner actually *cleaning the machines*. Machines that are out of order are clearly labeled as such. The change machines work and can change up to a $20 bill. There's a good sized parking lot. It's across the street from World Ground (as well as Roland Rosario Wine bar, inside), so I can grab a coffee, or if needed, a glass of wine while all the laundry is is going. Actually those are a lot of pluses. I agree about the noise (sometimes laundromats are just too much fun for kids) and lack of wifi, but frankly, I'm not bringing my laptop to a laundromat (I'm paranoid). There is wifi across the street at the cafe, so that might be do-able. Last visit I brought a book, and was able to check email on my phone, so I was cool, and got all my laundry done in an hour! read more

I live a block away, so even if it were terrible, I'd probably still go here. But, it's not terrible! It's clean, really clean, and all of the machines are really well taken care of. The staff aren't especially talkative, but they help, when needed. And, my stuff has never been stolen - I don't actually have to hang out there with an eagle eye on my stuff. If it's really crowded, and you've taken to long to come back (like after an hour) the staff will take your stuff out of a machine, put it in a basket, and label it with the machine number. I do wish it were open later. But it's still great. read more

As far as laundromats go, this one is pretty solid. A few things that make it more convenient than other spots: - They have their own parking lot - ATM right by the front door - It's pretty big - even when it's busy you can still find a few washers/dryers open - Close to a few places to get food/coffee - Tables and chairs by the front. Good spot to wait for your laundry and read a book or something. - General vibe is polite, but folks are definitely there to handle their laundry and that's all. I've never been hit on here - for me, that's a major plus. I have things to do! Sometimes a few of their washers/dryers are out of service, but hey, it's a laundromat. All things considered, a convenient place to do your laundry. Prices are similar to other laundromats. Careful, the smaller, cheaper ones are all the way in the back - be brave and venture in! read more

Overall, this place isn't bad. I normally do my laundry at home, but I have this huge comforter that needed to be washed and it doesn't fit in my washer and dryer. However, I think I prefer Woody's for washing my blankets. Pros: - Private parking lot. Not a lot of parking spaces, but it is free and not street parking. - Clean. I have never been to a cleaner laundromat. While I was doing my laundry, an employee was cleaning all of the machines, inside and out. - Lots of places to sit. There are tables near the window and along one of the walls. - The dryers work extremely well. It only took 24 minutes to dry my huge comforter. I have never gotten it to dry that fast. Cons: - No wifi. For this reason only, I am more likely to go to Woody's the next time I need to wash my blankets. - There are so many vending and game machines along the walls, that it took me a few minutes to find a detergent dispenser and coin machine. It was a bit annoying having to spend that much time looking for them. - The music was way too loud. Even through my noise-canceling headphones, it was very distracting. If I ever go here again, I am bringing earplugs. read more

This is the most poorly laid out laundromat I've been in. Crowded, lots of obstructions, and tiny folding tables. AND I find it super annoying that the wash and fold business takes up a good portion of the machines. Pluses are the tables and chairs, well lit, tolerable music, parking. Over all, I'd give it a "meh". read more

Honestly don't know what all the bad reviews are about ? Yeah a few machines are not working but most are working and there are ALWAYS machines open. About the customer service... Most launder mats don't even have someone you can talk to if anything goes wrong. The fact that this place does should put it above all others when concerning customer service. Also I've seen a few guys in there cleaning up and fixing the machines so it's definitely improving. Anyways this is hands down one of the best launder mats I've been to. Plenty of places to stop by while waiting for laundry. Also the Wells Fargo ATM is a game changer as there are no wells fargos close by. Anyways don't let the bad reviews scare you, this is actually a higher end laundermat . read more

This place has a lot of out of order machines and is not kept clean. I had to think twice about the stuff I dropped on the floor here. The dryers seemed to take a lot long more time to dry our clothes too. This is the first and last time I'm coming here. There is a parking lot and tables to sit and wait at. Those are the only pluses. read more

I've been coming here for a few years and I always do wash and fold service. Well lately I've noticed a lot of mine and my children's clothes have gone missing. I bought my son 7 pairs of jeans in the last 2 months and we are only down to 3 now. I've even had article's of clothing from someone else laundry in mine. I don't know what's going on but it's time to find some where else. read more

Oh, Launderland you've seen much better days. I used to come here a few years back before knowing about action laundry. i come here yesterday to do some laundry while helping a friend move around the block and a few things i've noticed is that many of their machines were out of order. Just about help of their dryer doors were missing and unusable. The thing that turns me off from this place now and probably many other people is the price they charge to wash and dry your clothes it's just really over priced compared to the competitors which is literally down a couple blocks and i think action laundry is about a dollar cheaper with mostly all functional machines. The good thing about this place is that they have their own parking lot (but they really need to do something with that ridiculous dip at the exit), large space and you can pay them to wash your clothes for you. There are definitely better options around at a lower price. read more
