The owner was delightful and very obliging. The cost for washing and drying my clothes was right on point.The machines and floors were nice and clean. I would like to wash my clothes during the day time, to see, if the hospitality and cleanliness remain the same.

I haven't used many laundromats in the area so this is subject to change depending on experiences…read moreelsewhere... But the cost of doing laundry was more than I expected. The large washers are around $7.25 per load, and the small ones were around $3.25. Dryers are only $1.00 (if you wash your clothes there), but unfortunately the coin dispenser was broken so you'll have to provide those on your own. Personally I was looking for either a cheaper wash or somewhere that you could pay with a card, so I'm marking it down a bit. Again, perhaps these are standard for the area, I don't know (but in that case I think I'd also rate the standard with three stars lol).

A friend was visiting Boston for the first time and needed a laundromat, so we picked this spot as…read moreit is a one minute walk from Yafa Bakery where we were planning to enjoy a unique breakfast experience. It's a pretty spacious design with several washers and dryers of different sizes and relatively clean space, also not too busy for a Sunday morning. Could definitely use clearer instructions though, especially for how to dry beyond 10 minutes --we luckily figured it out but it might be frustrating for first timers. Also major tip: it's cash only for the card which we didn't know ahead of time and there was no-one from management on site to help. We are incredibly grateful to Yafa for generously spotting us with enough so my friend could get everything done before having to catch her flight. When we tried to pay them back--they gifted her some fresh bread instead! Doing laundry never felt so heart warming and we left feeling that this laundromat's best feature is proximity to a place that believes that kindness is just as nourishing as the food that they serve.

On top of that, there were obvious new stitches added that hadn't been there before, and they didn't even remotely match the fabric or color of the knit. I also brought in a trench coat, which came back with all the same stains untouched -- honestly, for the best considering what happened to the dress. When I returned to show them the damage, there was no apology, no accountability, and no attempt to offer compensation. I had to request a refund myself. The employee handed it to me and simply walked away without even acknowledging the inconvenience. This place used to be excellent before the ownership change. Now it's an absolute mess. Please do not trust them with valuable clothing, especially anything sentimental like a wedding dress.

When I returned them, I was told I'd get a refund, but it never came through until I submitted a request myself.

If you're bringing in specialty or sentimental items, I'd recommend looking elsewhere.

There's nothing sweet about doing laundry, let's be honest here…read more Sweet laundry, though, is a pretty sweet place to do laundry, if laundry can be sweet, I guess. I like it and it's not too badly overpriced and it's in Somerville which is kind of a middle-income area with some ethnic stuff and some cheaper stuff and some poor people so it makes sense that it would be affordable and I appreciate that.

I've been coming here a few months now & have seen many people walk in with loads as late as 9pm and not be turned away. These patrons seem to be friendly with the man that works here. This seems highly discriminatory in my opinion.

A high end laundromat this is not, but if you've got one (or five) loads of laundry to get done…read moreit's a great place. There were only 2 machines out of order, which was impressive considering how many machines there were. There are a variety of washers that vary in price based on their capacity: $2/load, $2.25, $3, $4, $4.50. I like that there are different machines to choose from based on your needs and you don't have to spend extra money for capacity you're not using. For the dryers (which are all the same) the prices aren't posted, but they are as follows: $1.00 for the first 20 minutes, $0.25 for every additional 7 minutes. That seems a little pricey to me, but I've been out of the laundromat loop for a few years now so perhaps that's average these days. As for the place itself, it was very clean and well lit. There were tons of magazines to read, a pop machine to quench your thirst with Pepsi products, and lots of counter space for folding. The change machine was broken when I was there, but there was a sign instructing you to visit the liquor store a few doors down for change. The guy in the liquor store was very nice and didn't bat an eye at my asking for $3 in quarters. The broken change machine was maybe a little inconvenient, but it was a nice day so I didn't care. The guy who runs the place is a funny, friendly Greek man. He was very helpful with one of my washers, which turned out to be a little fussy. But everything worked in the end, and I walked out with 3 sets of clean sheets and 2 clean blankets. The best part of all of this is that Gold Star is a 30 second walk from my apartment. Hurray convenience! Summer Hours: 7am-10:30pm Winter Hours: 8am-10pm Last Wash: 9pm Door Locks @ 9:30pm $0.50 off computer (digital display) washers Tues-Sat from 7am-5pm!

I want to marry the woman on the sign. 3) Reaping the spoils of previous launderer's leavings--my best find so far is a pair of SpongeBob SquarePants boxers. 2) Finally found a setting where my Dewar's flask is socially acceptable. 1) In the event of equipment malfunction and subsequent gruesome injuries, Gold Star is conveniently located across from Somerville Hospital.
