Dirty, no bathroom, no water to wash your hands, the detergent dispenser is out of order. Machines pricey even though they are disgusting and old looking. No ac or at least it didn't feel like it ( only fans). Missing ceiling tiles, dust on everything and no paper towels to clean any spills or grime from previous users. I will never come again. I used this in a pinch because my home washer and dryer aren't workimg roght now, but I will not use again even in a pinch. read more

Its a very small laundrymat that fit my needs. I have blankets etc. that are heavy to use in my personal washer and dryer so instead i came here. less than $10 to wash and dry 4 king size blankets, cant beat that! lol place was quiet and experience felt like you were doing laundry back in the 90's using quarters. read more

If I had to get across a river, I Woodrow. Wouldn't you? What do you do when you get a crappy stain on something right in the middle of a nice little trip to Austin when you are having so much fun? You stop by a laundromat in the area with a lot of other stuff that you want to eat or check out and then you get it taken care of. No problem there. Nothing but decent things to say about this place and it's not cheap but then not a lot of laundromats are these days anyway. read more

Woodrow Washateria - If you wouldn't swim, you woodrow - Laundry Services Near Me - Austin, Texas

I like this place even though it's older, only takes coins and is a little more pricey than other places I've gone to in other states. I was able to wash a TON of laundry quickly and efficiently in their huge washers. And my favorite part was the dryers! Low price and completely dried everything, even large towels in 25 minutes. I also found the guy on-site very helpful and nice. I don't like places that use the cards because they tack on hidden fees and your laundry ends up costing more as a result. I also don't like using my debit card everywhere because I've had ID theft and think coins are fine. Plus, saw older gentlemen washing and know it's harder for seniors to adapt to new technologies so think it's nice there are still places that cater to old school preferences. Go somewhere else if you don't like it. Easy in, easy out. I will be back. read more

Albert is the cleanest, friendliest guy, he keeps this place in tip top shape. My washer/dryer is not hooked up at the moment, so I'm back to old school laundromats. Found this gem & won't go anywhere else. I'm safe there & so is my stuff. All is well until my own W/D is back in action. Thank you, Albert! read more

Pros: - Washers and Dryers I've used have all worked. Malfunctioning equipment is labeled. - Cold AC - Free stable Wifi - Location on an intersection with cool businesses (Thunderbird Coffee, Shell Gas Station, Chekos Mexican restaurant). The surrounding neighborhood is also fantastic for walking around. - Benches to sit on while waiting - Does not require a prepaid card for machines Cons: - Expensive Dryers at $0.25 for every 7 minutes - Washing Machines are $1.50 for the smaller white top loaders and $3.75 for the larger silver front loaders - Narrow walkways - No sink to wash hands which is very inconvenient if you get liquid detergent on your hands! - There is a tiny closet of a restroom but the sink faucet does not work so there is no running water Woodrow Washateria faces Woodrow Avenue. It is behind the Shell gas station on the Northeast intersection of Koenig Ln @ Woodrow Ave. read more

Woodrow Washateria feels abandoned. This is actually awesome. Neither the change machine nor the soap dispenser ever work, and several of the washers and dryers have been out of order since God was a child. Mostly it feels abandoned because I am always the only one there. Every single time. Light, dark, day, night: the place is always empty. Score. Being alone at the laundromat is SUCH a relief (which is why I keep coming back) but it's also eerie as hell. It's not unlike a horror movie waiting to happen: surreal, overly quiet, just me and my gigantic pile of black tshirts. And let's not forget the unbelievable, sweltering, oppressive heat. The overhead fans just push the hot hair to and fro. You will begin to fan yourself like a proper southern lady. (Bonus points for the old school Nintendo racing game. More bonus points for the taqueria next door and their life-giving horchata.) read more

Woodrow Washateria - Laundry Services Near Me - Austin, Texas

Super-friendly folks who will walk you through every phase of wash day. Convenient location, and an affordable array of right-sized machines. "Don't be afraid to use our bathrooms!" the cheerful attendant proclaims. I'm not sure there are five-star laundromats on the planet, so four stars definitely places these guys in the "elite" category. Haul your hamper to this little gem and put your laundry life on the gentle cycle. read more

Only takes quarters, no credit or debit option. This place needs to catch up with the times.

It's a laundromat RIGHT NEXT to a neighborhood restaurant that serves pretty yummy margharitas, authentic TEX-mex food, and good chips salsa!!! Enough said?!?! read more

This place is now under new managment and you can tell the difference. It's a lot cleaner now and has free wifi. The machines all seem to work okay. I've never had an issue. It's never been busy when I've been in there. The AC is super cold which I love. Also, you can go next door and grab some food. It's a pretty good deal to me. read more

I hate going to the washateria, but this place makes it way more tolerable. Free good wifi, lots of cheap top loads, and a clean bathroom. Most laundromats have a disgusting bathroom, but here it's clean, there's soap, and nothing is broken. Usually no kids running around bored. There's air conditioning, but on nice days, they open up the doors and turn on the fans, so it's kind of pleasant. I've only seen it get crowded one time a week: Sunday afternoon/evening. It's still a pretty small laundromat, so if one person uses 8 machines, it makes a huge difference. People start doing wierd things to lay claims to their washers and dryers. But by 9pm, it's usually back to empty. They close strictly at 11, and by 10:30, the staff is cleaning up and making sure no one is starting new loads. read more

HOT, HOT, HOT!! Not in a Buster Poindexter way, either. It's like being in a restaurant kitchen that smells like soap instead of onions and grease. On the upside, they have tons of top-loading washers, and I'm pretty sure they gave up trying to close at night. On the downside, there are not enough dryers and just three oversize front-loaders that are constantly on the blink. The emergency soap-vending machine has never worked as long as I've been here, but the Shell station next door is happy to punish your forgetfulness with a $3 quart of bleach. Hint: If the change machine is out, you can always hit up Dart Bowl. But beware, that little quarter-shoving-machine game that is change machine adjacent sings a sadistic siren song with its temptuous floating $20's. read more

My washer died and so I had to find a laundromat to wash some larger items and jeans. I looked at 2 other places and chose Woodrow Washateria - because had excellent parking, new looking machines (all in working order) and it was spotless. A friendly employee explained how I could wash my 3 different loads for best results. Every thing came out looking and feeling clean. There is a Mexican restaurant next door which was great (they have a full bar) and fast. I left with a full stomach and clean clothes. Shout out to Debbie who took the time to explain how to use the different sized machines (all Speedqueen). read more

Gal who manages the place is very cordial and helpful. Decent size parking lot. Front and top load washers (top load are $1.75) Dryers are 25 cents per 7 minutes - seems standard in this area Other customers have all seemed pleasant - no creeps. read more

review based solely on the lack of credit card acceptance. it's 2017 for god's sake. Upgrade your facilities. Friendliest workers around. I'll up it to 2 for that. Don't gamble on the detergent machine in the back, it may steal your money. It's probably from the last century just like the rest of this place. read more

I always get nervous and skeptical about going to wash my laundry some place that's not my home. But fear not with Woodrow Washateria. This place is clean, affordable, awesome friendly staff. The machine are great. Plenty of room. The staff even opened the door when I got that, gave me dryer sheets and that same attendant went around greeting people and making conversation. I felt comfortable to be here not like that other places. If you need to wash plain and simple stop by here! read more

Great little washateria and as others have said it has a fantastic little Mexican place next door!

It's a cozy and clean and friendly place were the staff all seem to want to help you out and little room for people to steal things. Favorite laundromat in Austin hands down. read more

I was washing my blankets here on Fridays. However, I just walked in and the guy working was rude to me. I have never seen this guy before. Walk in to make sure the machines are working, instead of wasting my time. You just lost a customer. read more

Older place but my daughter and I went and found it just fine. Nice people and very large machines and smaller if you need it. 25 cents per 7 min. To dry. 3.75$ for huge double/ triple loads. And smaller machine 1.75$. Nice air conditioning and friendly staff. Mexican Resteraunt and gas station next door! And free wifi so you can surf while you wash :0) read more

A few months ago my long-time washateria on 51st street closed, with a sign saying to go to Woodrow Washateria as an alternative. Online reviews had me almost deciding to not bother trying it, but I did anyway and I'm very glad I did. It's close, the washers and dryers are all new stainless steel with electronic time displays, and work great. There's A/C, and WiFi (though I haven't tested it). And yes, the change machine works properly. I had a problem with a dryer the first time I went, so I left a message with management. They got back to me later that day, and cheerfully resolved the issue to my satisfaction. I went a second time this week, and found that the older dryers had been replaced. I accidentally used one of the larger electronic ones I wasn't familiar with, and amazingly it dried my whole load in just over 15 minutes. I love this place now! read more

Awesomeness!! I have a laundromat at my apt complex but prefer coming here. It is clean, quiet, the machines work great (and inexpensive), AC, Wi-Fi, and a spot to study. read more

I love this place! Its never crowded. Nothing fancy. Machines always work and there's margaritas next door! Always a low key, getting my clothes washed, good time. :D read more

We have been coming to this laundromat for many years, and the new owners-as of three or so years ago-, have really done a nice job making it comfortable, safe, and clean. Recently, we came in to do our clothes, and we met Shari, the new wash and fold girl. Well, she did a perfect job of cleaning and folding our clothes! She even irons! All in all, this place is a perfect laundromat for me.... Next to Checko's if I want a beer, and across from thunderbird coffee if I don't :) read more

While I was in between selling and buying a home, I was in need of a clean, laid back place to do some laundry near the area. Boy, did this place fit the bill! They were super helpful during a very busy time and I felt compelled to sign up to write about my experience and spread the word about this place. Not only was it clean as a whistle and quiet, but they have a wash and fold service to boot! I could embrace my inner couch potato and let them do the job. I tell ya...after a long day of work, packing, and moving, it was a blessing and totally worth the reasonable asking price. If ever I am in need of a place to do my laundry, you can bet that this will be the place. read more

Our washer broke and the part will take 10 days to get here. Lucky for us Woodrow Washateria is just the street from us. It's a friendly little place. The lady whom I assume is managing during the day is outgoing and friendly and is always picking up trash outside or sweeping inside. The machines are ok. Prices seem competitive. However, the machines, (front loaders) soap dispensers are awful. They are dirty and mildewy and the rinse slot on all of them are plugged up with dirty water. That really grosses me out. read more

This place is repulsive. It always smells like someone pooped on the floor. The one lady who watches over it is very rude and is doing a terrible job. One time I came in, put my stuff in the wash and went to use the bathroom and someone had crapped all over the seat and wall and floor, and it was just left there to rot. No one could be located to attend to it. The equipment is covered in grime and dust. Clearly no one is cleaning it. I'm actually worried about it being a safety hazard. This part of town could really use a good laundromat. Too bad this is not one. read more

It's not the fanciest, but they have 4 load machines (great), and there were a lot of pretty darn friendly people in there. By the way, the hours are great! They close an hour later than nearby Woodrow Washateria (which closes at 10, and they turn the washers off around 9:15pm). read more

I absolutely love this place, it's a Austin gem! With its originality, and awesome staff! I've been coming for years and never had any issues, just recently I forgot about one of my loads nothing but polo shirts about 600$ worth, I left in a washer and realized 3days later I called left a message within hours the management called me back and said they still had my shirts hanging in the back! Now that's customer service! Did I mention Debbie! She opens and closes the store cleans and just caters to everybody's need, a true Austin personality charismatic, funny, and very caring, I should know I'm from here as well and let's face it real austinites are hard to come by these days! So thank u Woodrow washateria, and special thank to Debbie for all the amazing things she does. Mick Limon read more

Local, clean, reasonable rates. It's a well run laundromat and the people are great.

I hate this place. I will never go again if I can help it. Let me repeat myself: I HATE this place. I also hate the gas station next door and when I find out the name, my one star will follow for them too. Okay, where to start. Let me first say that I usually go to this amazing huge Washateria on North Lamar (I'm giving them 5 stars when I write their review). Everything at my normal place is in Spanish and I don't speak any Spanish but they have a bazillion beautifully clean machines in multiple sizes that are never out of order, several soda machines, arcade games, a massage chair, and televisions playing soccer and American Movies (in Spanish but I have usually seen the movie so I can enjoy the TVs anyway). But today, I was feeling sorry for my dog who obviously wanted attention and an outing. I thought, "gee, I can take him to that Washateria by Thunderbird Coffeehouse. We can grab a coffee while my clothes are drying." Instead, my trip was one nightmare after another. Upon arriving, I immediately noticed that with only four people doing laundry (including me), most of the washers and all of the dryers were full. Several of the machines were out of order. I put my clothes in three machines. Two of the machines were the same size and ran for the same amount of time but one cost $1.50 and the other cost $1.00. My third machine cost $3.75 and I would not have needed to use such an expensive machine but all of the smaller machines were being used or broken. When I ran out of detergent, I noticed that the detergent machine at Woodrow Washateria was Out Of Order, so I had to go next door to that m-f-ing gas station to purchase the tiniest bottle of Tide I have ever seen...less that 1 liter, for $6.95 + tax!!! That's over $7 dollars. I noticed that I would not be able to use my $10 in the Woodrow Washateria change machine because their change machine only changes $1 or $5 dollar bills. So, I asked the gas station lady for some quarters. She stated that she could only give me $2 worth of quarters and then she ranted about how much she hates the Washateria next door (perhaps why they price their bottles of Tide at $7 so that customers will NEVER want to return to the Washateria). My experience at the Gas Station was just as bad as the Washateria and I WILL NEVER return to either place for as long as I live in Austin. Fortunately, I did make it to Thunderbird Coffee, ordered a drink, and sat with my dog while my clothes dried. The fact that an incredible hottie was sitting close enough that I could stare and de-stress from HORRIBLE WOODROW WASHATERIA experience made me feel just a tiny bit better (thank you Thunderbird hottie). read more

Since new management took over, this place is seriously awesome! Very clean, peaceful, nice working washers and dryers. Love it!

I swear to god I just saw David Byrne there. I think he was humming a new song as he watched his whites spin dry.

After reading all of the reviews posted from a ways back, I was beginning to think we were talking about a different place. My first trip to this place was several weeks ago. I was called out to repair the broken airconditioner. This place is under new management, and they now have an a/c that blows cold air, free wifi and owners, that do their very best to see that their customers are comfortable during their visit. I say give the new owners a chance, and you will find that they will do everything in their pwer to make your experience there much better than they have been in the past. By the way the A/C will be cold next time you stop in!!!! read more

Has wifi and air conditioning! If you don't want to sit and wait for clothes go next door and get lunch or a margartia while you wait! The staff is very nice and helpful and the dryers work very well which is rare. $1.75 to wash, .25 cents to dry (but you probably will go through 2-3 cycles to dry because they only last 7 minutes) read more

Okay....so I have been coming to this place for only 5 months and I must say that the quarter machine ALWAYS worked for me and I never saw a sign that is was ever broken. I did laundry on Sunday mornings and wednesday evenings. Both of those days it was always very quiet and every so often there would be tons of people there but nothing all crazy. Sometimes the washer was dirty but then I would just use the one next to it and well there really isn't anything I can do about that. I believe in the last month or so it has been under new managment which made it now have better lighting, cleaner washers and dryers and the A/C works better. I now have a washer and dryer but if it broke I would for sure go to this place. Yes, its not that pretty and yes the soap machines are broken but its cheaper to buy soap at target anyways and just rely on the quarter machines. I liked this place and I hope ya'll experience something better and for sure not worse then this. Yay for new management and making sure the washers are cleaner!!!!!! read more

I am not sure of the history of the place back as far as 2008 but I love the free WiFi and the location. Always been able to get a machine. Its well located if I need a quick bite too. read more
