Quick and easy. This place makes doing laundry an actually enjoyable experience. It has everything…read moreyou would need for washing your clothes, including rolling carts to carry your load, plentiful benches to fold it, an ATM, a coin change machine, a detergent dispenser, some newspapers to read and local ads to check out while you're waiting. Feels like a community place. They also have free WiFi inside, password is posted next to the dryers. The pricing was 3.25 for light cycle on washing machines on the right side, and 4.50 for washing machines on the left side. 25 cents extra for normal cycle, and 50 cents extra for heavy. I didn't quite catch the difference between the $3 and the $4 machines and washed my clothes for $3. The light cycle lasted 27 minutes, which had me worried that it might be a tad short, but my clothes was satisfactorily clean when I took them out of the cleaner. The dryers were 25c per 6 minutes. I really liked that time intervals are this small, which allows the customers to control how dry they want their laundry to be. Part of my load needed only a quick run in the dryer so 6 minutes was enough, while all the heavy cotton clothing took about 24 minutes to dry. So that was $1.25 for the dryer and $3.25 for a light washing load amounting to $4.50 for the full experience. Disclaimer: it's not a good idea to leave your laundry unattended, but if there's nothing much valuable washing in there, there is a cafe across the street, one block to the north, called "Nomad". It's probably one of the friendliest cafes in the area and deserves another recommendation. This cafe serves tasty sandwiches, coffee, and free wifi. So if you don't want to sit around in the laundromat, you can wait there for your laundry load to be done and surf the net while you're waiting.

I normally go to another spot on University but they were closed on Easter Sunday…read more Since it was still early, made me way on San Pablo and noticed this spot. Parked in front since I was unaware of rear parking. Arrived and only 1 other person washing. Noticed I had to download an app (another one to add to the list) and it was a breeze. I did observed an attendant who was busy with the shop vac cleaning out the dryer vents as well as doing loads of laundry. The area is maintained cleaned and no machines out of order. I did run into an issue and approached the lady who I observed cleaning. Catherine when asked her name reset the dryer since it went crazy after trying to add more time. She reset it and asked me how everything was going. Guess it was obvious it was my first time. Lol Highly recommend and great place.

I am giving Bing two stars because the ladies who work here are really nice and give you change…read morewhen you need it. That extra star is for them. This place is not closed but it should be or someone who cares should take it over. I came back here after some years today because I was curious to see if things had improved. Well, if anything, they are worse. More broken machines - hardly any machines work here and the place is incredibly dirty. I used an ancient Speed Queen that churned and chugged and actually got my clothes clean but it was leaking some. This place is sad and has deteriorated a lot in the years since I have been here. It s dirtier and more full of junk. It is evident that the owner does not care about it. He really does not. Hardly anyone in there and I am sure a well maintained laundry place could make some money. Sad. Go to Elmwood Laundry on College - it is more expensive but it is clean and better maintained.

$2.25 for a load in the wash, and $0.25 per 7 minutes in the dryer if I remember correctly…read more My bf and I easily found three washing machines next to each other for us to run all of our laundry at once. We weren't sure if we had enough quarters on hand, but they had an easy to use machine with clear labels telling us how to use it that converted a $20 bill into change for us. The place was pretty empty when we went in the afternoon mid-week. The atmosphere is quite calm, it's easy to just go through the motions of completing the laundry, and we didn't have to interact with any staff which was nice because we were both rather tired. Something to note that my bf and I missed originally is that the machines recommend putting your detergent in first so it's at the bottom of the machine before adding your dirty clothes. We easily shifted out clothes over by hand and poured in the soap, but you can avoid the hassle by following the directions. The hours and location are particularly nice as well. It is open for much of the day and into the night, and is across the street from a 7-Eleven. I believe Kuboba is nearby as well and they have good drinks and food if anyone is interested. There are these slanted benches along the sides of the wall that you can sit at. They're a strange angle, you wouldn't be able to rest something like a book on them without the book falling through the back of the bench. However, they were comfortable enough. I charged my laptop and phone before we came over and worked on some writing using a hotspot on my phone while the laundry ran. My bf comfortably crocheted beside me. Once the laundry finished washing, there were these clean, easy to use baskets with wheels that you could use to transport your laundry. We again found some dryers conveniently in a row and used those. Then, we went back to our respective tasks. I took a brief break to cross the street to the 7-Eleven. Aside from the many machines available, there are relatively large counter spaces at a good height for folding laundry. My boyfriend and I folded and packed up our laundry into suitcases before heading out. We left with a hefty bag of quarters and three loads worth of clean laundry.

Albany Washing Well is a real gem. I've been going here for a while, and what really makes this…read moreplace special are the owners. They are such sweet, kind, and caring people. They always say hello when I come in, and I genuinely look forward to seeing them. You can tell how hard they work and how much they care about their customers. The machines are fairly new, everything is clean and well maintained, and there are plenty of different sizes. I recently washed a huge mattress topper in the triple loader and dried it in the extra-large dryer, and it worked perfectly. They also offer wash-and-fold service. I don't personally use that service, but I've watched them doing it, and they are incredibly careful with people's clothes. You can really see the pride and care they put into their work. I also feel very safe here. The owners are around a lot, there are cameras, and it's on a nice block. And while you're waiting for your laundry, you can grab pizza, a burger, or some vegan food right next door. I really do love this place. It's not just a laundromat -- it's a friendly neighborhood business run by people who genuinely care. I'm very happy to support them and highly recommend Albany Washing Well!

However, the old machines are just giving out and although the attendant is present and attentive to customers, the actual lack of working laundry equipment is the reason this place only gets 2 stars. If this spot had actual well functioning washing machines and dryers, this spot would probably be busy every day. Kinda sad.

Concerns: -I don't think they use any hot water. I'd rather they charge more and allow hot water. I am starting to notice that my clothes for exercising aren't getting clean, and they are super cold after the wash finishes. -Dryers dry uneven, and most either don't work or take an extra long time to dry. Everyone knows the few that work well and they are always being used. -Some safety concerns. Maybe need someone to actually stop by several times during the day. Day and night. Be alert.
