We needed to do laundry but were not about to pay over $150 for 4 sweatpants, 2 T-shirts and 2…read moresports bras, so we looked up a laundromat in the area of our hotel and this place popped up only 800m away. The Lonely Sock isn't just a laundromat, it's a place you can have do your laundry for you. If we had been a bit smarter about timing, we could have used this service, but we didn't mind sitting in the space and just doing the laundry ourselves. It seems to be quite a busy place and they do their commercial items in the same space you would be doing your laundry. The machines are all functional with different capacities. Paying with card is so convenient and there is regular and sensitive skin soap in the vending machine. We had to use a bigger dryer than I wanted but it only cost $1 more and I'm sure it cut down the time by at least 15 min. There wasn't the most seating ever but there were a few comfortable seats and a few stools by the window to sit at. Overall, highly recommend.

If your accommodation is near Southern Cross Station, this laundromat is super convenient. It was a…read morebit of a hike for me since I was staying at the W Melbourne, but even then, totally worth it--it was only about a 15-minute walk. Having a laundromat right in the heart of the city is truly a blessing for travelers like me who want to pack light and stay frugal. And they're well equipped, with more than a dozen washing machines and dryers, so you're not standing around waiting for someone to finish their laundry. I know credit cards are accepted pretty much everywhere in Australia, so this may not sound like a big deal. But coming from Japan, where cash is still very much a thing, seeing a laundromat that accepts credit cards felt like heaven. No hunting for coins, no leftover Australian change rattling around my wallet. If you're staying around Southern Cross Station, this place is a huge help--especially if you're traveling light.

Otherwise, possibly the best in the area.

Powder feels like a futuristic laundromat that might be found in the middle of Harajuku, rather than in Brunswick East. It's bright pink with a smashing logo and can be found beneath the apartment complex on the corner of John and Albert streets. All the machines operate on credit/debit cards, so no need to scrounge around your house looking for 1 and 2 dollars coins - this is all tap 'n' go! WOO! I didn't wash my clothes but it cost $4.95 for 20 minutes in the dryer. I can confirm that it will actually dry your clothes in that time, unlike many other laundromats I've been too. There was a TV playing the news in the corner and it does say "free wifi" however I was unable to connect today.

The price was very reasonable compared to other laundromats in the area, and there were two large tables for folding clean clothes. When I went there today, the owner was there, and he was very friendly and helpful. He gave me some advice on the best machines for me to use, and the optimal settings. Also, there is a coin machine on site, which the other laundromats nearby don't have. In addition to this, the owner said that he had washing powder for sale if I needed it, and he's looking at getting a washing powder dispenser installed soon, which is convenient if you're a forgetful person like me and you tend to leave your laundry soap at home when you go to the laundromat! Even though there are two laundromats closer to where I live, I'm going to travel to this one from now on because it is so much better. Thanks!

A review on a laundromat? You bet your bottom dollar!…read more This isn't one of these new-aged, fandangled laundromats with chai lattes and toasted sandwiches available. Nope. It's a bloody laundromat and that's it. I end up coming to the Carlton Laundromat at least once a week in the winter when my house is so cold I am unable to dry my clothes. Their dryers run on seven minute cycles but you'll definitely need at least two of those to get everything dry (for some reason they're just not hot enough?) This is an unmanned laundromat so it's best your BYO change (a couple of bucks per spin). Thankfully the North Carlton Canteen is directly next door. They are generally pretty good at giving you change if you need but why not grab a coffee and read a book while you're waiting?
