If you're visiting from the United States and need to do laundry while on holiday, you may come to find Ireland does not have the self-serve laundromats we're accustomed to using. Instead, you must trust a local launderette with your laundry. Best of luck! Our hotel recommended a place nearby. The gentleman running the establishment seemed nice enough, the price was a bit steep at €25 for one load of laundry. Since I was taught as a pre-teen how to properly separate my colors prior to doing laundry, I assumed this was common practice. Wrong. When I collected my delivered laundry from the front desk at the hotel, I opened the bag to find my whites had not been separated from my darks... half of which were new, very dark jeans. Suffice it to say, my light colored items were dingy, my darks were faded (obviously washed in hot water) and my whites were, well, blue. I would have been better off hand washing all of my clothes in the hotel room bathtub and hanging them to dry. Gah! How do people deal with this level of service? read more
