First time here and it's a pretty standard laundromat. They have some large washing machines that can handle 40lb, 60lb and 80lb. Regular smaller washers too. Dryers are all the same but all don't work properly as in drying time is better on some than others. Probably true for all dryers. Overall not a bad experience and I will come back again. read more

I was visiting Oceanside for a few days and I needed a place to do laundry. I found this place and it was super easy to use. Machines were good and easy to use. I recommend this laundromat for anyone else traveling to the area. read more

Needs an upgrade, overhead music & to not charge already paying customers a quarter to use the restroom. It's a "dated & inhumane" strategy for any business to charge ANYONE to use a HUMAN FACILITY even if they don't have $. read more

My wife and I live close by and our water lines are under construction. We need some laundry done. We looked at this place and saw it opened at 5am ( big plus). We arrived at 6am and true to form, it was opened with one person using the facilities. We started washing. I noticed how clean and effective the machines were. My wife needed help with done change and Raul was courteous to help. This is a clean and worry free establishment. No Riff Raff or problems. We were in and out within two hours. Thank you fit your help Rail. We will return regularly for our blankets and bigger items. read more

I am a full any life moving to Oceanside five years ago we had spent our time looking for a good laundromat and I am very fortunate to have found one just a few blocks from my house is one of the most friendliest that I have been to and I give a shout out to Jael in the afternoons cleaning skills are outstanding and overall very approachable read more

Overall this laundromat is very clean. Came to wash 4 queen sized comforters and I was able to use 2 of the 80lb machine. I used 2 the dryers roughly dropped $5 which is not bad. The comforters got cleaned and the have variety of wash sizes you can use. Definitely coming again. They have a good selection of machines, change, machines, snack, machines, and vending machines, selling laundry detergent and dryer sheets. read more

Needed somewhere to clean camping gear (large blankets and sleeping bags, and jackets) and this place was great! They have all size washers and dryers...very large ones that I literally cleaned 6 huge blankets all at once (with room to spare)! They also have huge dryers as well. Way quicker than I thought! You must have quarters (there is a quarter machine that takes CASH only--bring small bills unless you want $50 of quarters). I'm sure the attendant would have exchanged my bills for smaller ones but better to be prepared. They also have vending machines of soap and bleach, etc. but not all of them worked. Nice clean place! read more

The dryers Don't work at all! I have lost so much money in there. The space is clean and the washing machines are working well. I have been going there for about three years now, but now I will not return. The people who work there know that the dryers don't work!! read more

Despite prices going up everywhere, I have to say College Coin Laundry will remain my favorite. Machines are well-maintained, customer service is top-notch, and it's overall the most transparent business. read more

well working machines, decently clean business area, friendly people that were there, and they didn't bother me about having my dog there

(Prior message) All these are "out of order" because all coin box are full, left message with the owner but it won't be done until tomorrow. not a good business.

Yes and there she is moving like a speedy Gonzales emptying each machines for customers to use! read more

New to the area and had to wash some large blankets. They had regular washing machines, 4 load, 60 lbs, and 80lbs load machines. I did appreciate how fast the dryers dried my large blankets as they usually take a long time. Only thing is that their vending machine selling laundry supplies does not take 20s. read more

Mostly a great experience and fair prices. like others said, the dryers take a while to dry even small loads.

The dryers need to be fixed. I put about 40 minutes on each load and all of my clothes were still damp. I had to go home to finish drying my clothes. This is why I went to the laundry mat in the first place because it would be faster. read more

Compared to other laundry mats in the area, College Coin is always my go to. Machines are taken care of and powerful, very easy to get in and out. read more

Clean, well run, change machines for $10's & $20's manager on site. All machines working.

This place is very clean I knew prior owners I don't recommend The cleaning lady's both get personal Especially the night Lady she Had the nerve to ask my Boyfriend who was I then she replied hope you're with her for papers I asked my boyfriend what that meant All I can say is That washing and getting involved in peoples lives shouldn't be happening it's not professional at all and can wreck families These lady's need to shut up mind there business and Be trained the correct way They have cameras they need to re view what and how try this lady ate for the new owner read more

Only two large machines. you have to wait for machines if you have a large load. They only take coins. when one of the machines took my coins and did not run, I asked the lady for a refund, however she said , once you put your money in there it is not refundable. read more

These ladies are just awesome! I don't use a coin laundry often, but anymore it seems they're all a little bit different. I had become less than enchanted with the coin op around the corner from me, so I looked online and read the reviews for College Coin Laundry. It was a bit of a distance, so I called first with a few questions. Christina (the owner) picked up the phone, answered all of my questions, and then gave me some helpful advice, as my loads consisted of 2 brand new duvet inserts, a new duvet cover, and a new quilt... big items that get really heavy when saturated. And she said that she has an employee on site, and Josefina would be there to help me with whatever I needed. What a blessing to find someone who offers GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE! And when I arrived, Josefina absolutely carbon-copied that great customer service! And the place was clean, organized, and well-maintained! I wouldn't normally equate a coin-op laundry with the word "joy", but in this case I certainly will! It was a joy to patronize a business that appreciates their customers! Thank you so very much, ladies! I will be a repeat customer and will send you all the referrals I possibly can! read more

You are better off going to a different laundry mat that gives you more minute to dry. I spent $20 on 10 dryers andy clothes was still damp. Before you come at me it was small amount of loads in each dryer.hence 10 dryers a dollar each dryer and the only dryer that worked was number 8 and 3 upper. Save your money go elsewhere. Also my clothes removed prior to me arriving. Other location have a grace period since people need to have patience in wating if they are in a rush they should have come earlier to put a load in just saying read more

We live in an RV so doing laundry somewhere is a MUST. I have an 8 month old, 2 year old, and 11 year old.. plus my boyfriend and I.. so we have LOTS of clothes we tried college coin laundry today and ran to get dinner inbetween. In the middle of dinner my boyfriend quickly ran across the street and switched the laundry over.. fast forward a few hours, we're looking for my toddlers blanket which is the ONLY blanket he will sleep with and cannot find it anywhere.. we then realize we forgot TWO loads of laundry I quickly called the number connected on maps and the owner had answered! She was so so sweet and called her employee to check on it. We live 30 minutes away so I really really appreciated it! She called me back and let me know that she actually had her employee put them in the dryer for us! the prices are super good compared to a lot of places, the washers clean our clothes very well, and the dryers don't burn our clothes!!(had some bad experiences At certain places...) I think I have found our new go to laundromat!! Thank you so much for the help tonight. I greatly appreciate it and my toddler will be very happy as well lol!! I'm also so thankful they are open so late! It really works well with our schedule if we need to come on weekdays! read more

After a couple of months of not being at this laundromat, I came back because I had a large load of clothes I had to wash. When my laundry was done, I was absolutely horrified by how many stains covered all of my clothes. I had oil-like stains on t-shirts, jeans, my blankets and sheets that I know are going to be impossible to remove. My sheets and pillowcases were also damaged and had runs all over them. I spoke to the manager of the laundromat and showed her the damage, and was told that it was my fault for putting clothes that were soaked in oil in the washing machine. (My clothes didn't have oil on them prior to me washing them.) be careful when choosing to wash your clothes at this laundromat, your clothes will be destroyed, and you will run yourself 40+ dollars for 4 loads. Safe to say, I have learned my lesson and will be saving up to buy my own washer/dryer. read more

College Coin Laundry - Stains on t-shirt - Laundromat Near Me - Oceanside, California

Says it closes at 11 and they told me closed even though the lights were on and door was open when I got there at 10:30... I just needed to finish drying a load that was almost dry, as my dryer stopped working before it finished the load. I was not happy with their "staff". read more

Nice clean laundromat, popular on Sunday morning. Our home washer / dryer are out of commission, so I'm using the laundromat for a bit. Overall pretty good. Don't forget to bring your own detergent and dryer sheets - they have a vending machine for them but it's pricey for what you get. Only complaint is the size of the machines. What they call a 2 load machine is barely half of the size of my home washer (and I don't have a giant one). I ended up just getting a couple loads done instead of doing everything I brought because it would have been crazy expensive with how many of the "double" machines I would have needed. Good clean place in a pinch, but I am glad I won't have to depend on it regularly. read more

We have used this facility before for large items & have always received great service when needed. Machines seem to be well maintained, clean & functional. Currently our home washer broke, so we went to College Coin to wash everything for the family. As we had experienced previously, service was great, machines clean & functional. So glad to have Laundromat not only close to we're we live but that is clean & functional. Thank you- read more

i love doing my laundry here! the owner is very kind & accommodating. she always realizes if there are any issues, i didnt even have to ask! she definitely cares about her customers read more

I been using this business service for a number of years now and we are so happy always coming here doing our laundry. Josefina the very nice lady is such a hard working lady keeping this facility neat and clean! She's such a very helpful person whenever you need her for some situation, as I had one time had a problem with one of the washer machines. The owner of this establishment is so blessed to have her as one of her employees, whose personality is of such a hard working associate who keeps the place very clean. read more

No sign on machine out of order. Placed laundry and money to start. Machine didn't run where the water ran through for the soap dispense. Machines smell like some kind of mold. Not happy. Didn't have any slips to file a complaint. Had to use one that was stuck to a door for no reason. Hope I get my refund. Place has really gone downhill with cleanliness. read more

Well this is not just another token review. This is a blaring, bullhorn PROCLAMATION that is telling you..... FANTASTIC SMALL BUSINESS!!! Back story- our washer broke on a Friday afternoon. Could not get any one out to take a look see until Saturday. My son is a competitive hip hop dancer in high school, and had a competition the next morning. Typical boy, was planning on doing his wash last minute. Broken washer= freak out. Never fear, I Google- fu and College Coin laundromat appears. 1.3 mile drive and we arrive. The laundromat is CLEAN. As in, not only does it smells clean ( duh) the floor is clean. The machines are clean. And... the BATHROOM IS CLEAN. We wash, and leave to home dry. After getting home, we notice that all 3 pairs of my sons expensive stretch Jean- ultra- quadra- tech- ripstop- hyper whatever fabric pairs of pants for his 3 dances are gone.... as in.... NOT THERE. We freak. We drive back to the lot, thinking we dropped them. We search the house, thinking we have short term memory loss or thieving elves. Nothing. We had to be 75 miles away at 6 am. We have no clue where they went, and hit the mall Saturday a.m. up in Brea scrambling to find suitable replacements. (We did not. He performed in par non competition materials.) I called the posted phone number to see if perhaps we left them. A pleasant, cheerful voice is on the recording. I do note that the laundry service prices are given on the message, and that's a rarity. Very nice. But then I think... who is going to return my call on a weekend, from an automated business?!?!. I expected to hear from someone in week, or never. I leave a message just in case What happens next, say you? I have to re- mortgage the house for pants that my son will most likely lose again to a dastardly laundry mishap? Nope. MY PHONE RINGS, IT IS THE COLLEGE COIN LAUNDROMAT OWNER! Cheerfully, she introduces herself as Christine.....and wait for it.... asks me how my day is going! Politeness of this kind is so very rare , I was thinking I was in a time warp! Christine went on to say.... "Guess what, we HAVE THE PANTS! " I'm still on shock, but I pulled myself together and hear her explain that her on duty attendants check the machines every couple of hours, and if they believe something was lost or forgotten they finish it up bag it, and tag it with the date! ( wait, what??? People still care about others belonhings??? ) I gush, go gaga and express my thanks, and we get to chit chatting. It seems that this laundromat has been owned by a female sole proprietor for 20 YEARS. As a single mother, she said she needed an income and liked the good honest feeling of maintaining a business that many people dont use, but when they do, it should be clean, efficient and make a person happy they used it. She explained that we left them in a wet machine and they were drying as we spoke and would be ready in an under hour. Wait, what?? You are rushing to do my laundry and you offered that?? I'm going to pick up the items when we get back to town. And I'm going to hug the building and sing Christine's praises from the roof tops. I know that a lot of people have home washer and dryers, and rarely if ever, need a laundromat. I also know many people do not, especially apartment dwellers, and use these places all the time. For someone to operate what I deem an essential business with such care and enthusiasm in a time where that's not particularly in style or warranted in a coinop self serve establishment environment is a HUGE deal. If you have comforters to wash, or a million towels, or just get sick of laundry and want someone else to do it for once, please patronize COLLEGE COIN LAUNDRY in Oceanside. Impressive!!! Small Business WINNER! read more

The lady was very rude and not helpful at all. I do not recommend this place because of the lack of customer service. She wouldn't let me dry my clothes at 10:30pm because she wanted to close the shop but the sign clearly said 11pm! Will not come back here again and will take my business elsewhere. read more

I visited this laundromat a few times in the last two months due to problems with my washer and dryer at home. I was impressed by how clean it was. There were a variety of different size washer and dryers to accommodate different load sizes. The attendant was very helpful, especially my first time when I had no idea what I was doing. I will return if I ever need a laundromat again. read more

New to coin laundry. I have always thought these places were scummy but I went based on this great yelp review. Still cautious though, I went at about 9 am on a Monday morning when I knew the crazies would still b sleeping. I washed one big ass load in a shiny new machine and dried them as well for only $5.75. I don't know if this is a good price or not but i accomplished my mission and felt safe while doing it. The only downside that I notice was how hot it was inside... I guess industrial sized driers will do that, and that there were not enough places to sit (so my son and I sat on the ground outside in the cool air with the nice strip mall music playing above.) Free WiFi was advertised but I hadn't brought my iPad. read more

After writing my first review, I was immediately contacted by the owner. You can tell that she really loves and cares about her business. We realized that I kept coming in during the attendants lunch break. I gave them another chance and they did an amazing job. Thank you for reaching out and making it right. I will definitely use this service again read more

Clean, near tons of food and shopping and super friendly and nice owner (Cristina) and manager (Carmen). I made a mistake and thought I was putting my washed clothes in a jumbo dryer and actually put them in a 4 load washer and pressed start. Stupid mistake. Left a message on the emergency line around 9:30PM and since nobody answered I thought, nobody will pay attention to this message. I mean, most people probably wouldn't, but i was wrong. While waiting for our clothes to dry outside in the AC of our car, Carmen came out and let us know the owner called her and told her to refund what we spent on the extra wash and handed us our money. So happy we found this place!!! read more

My washer was on the Fritz and I came here and found the cleanest and most efficiently run Laundromat I've been to ever. The owner Christina is passionate about customer service and very friendly. I will definitely be back. Grazie Mille read more

Per Yelp open until 11pm, but last wash is at 9:30pm even though wash cycle only takes 22 minutes. If I get something in by 10 I can wash for 22 minutes and dry for 30 minutes and still be out by 11pm. read more

Clean, quick and felt safe to leave my stuff while I ran errands. It's great to know this is here when bulky items get dirty again.

The lady that works here is such a sweetheart. The facility is very clean and put together. The location is nice because you can go to Sprouts, Ross or big lots while your laundry is washing. read more

Love the fact the lady that was cleaning the area was super nice very helpful. My first time in there and she took the time to explain each washer and dryers. I came in early yesterday nice Italian lady. Sorry I didn't get her name but she went above and beyond thank you. read more

Horrible place! There is a lady with an Italian accent that is very very rude, follows you and watches your every move. I used 2 of the largest washers they have and one did not work. Put my complaint in to get my refund and never heard from them. It's been more than a month. read more
