    Over charging

    I like coming to this laundromat, I've been to many in Berkeley and Oakland but this one washes my clothes well enough. My only problem is that I use my debit to wash, (you know to avoid having to go to a bank and withdraw cash) I went on Sunday, for 1 giant wash, the cost is $7.00 Why was I charged $20 ? Are you deliberately stealing from me ? No laundry machine in that joint is $20 bucks No lie this has happened before, they over charged me double but I was like it must have been a glitch. You know, no big deal. But this is getting out of hand. Maybe just stick to uSIng quarters cause there is no way to avoid the overpayment once you swipe. So sad that this happened. Aside from them taking my hard earned money, it would be a great place to wash. Clean, and always has open machines that work. The dryers so-so. But hey you can't win them all.

    A variety of machines from small 2.75 to large $7 washers and many one size fits most driers. Parking lot always has space available. Most machines take credit card, although they will charge you 20$ initially and then refund you the unspent amount from that an hour or two later. Counts as "car washes" for US Bank credit card business type. A few seats available, bathroom, trash and recycling. Just enough time to walk up the nearby hill for the sunset view if you time it right while washing.

    I have no idea what the size is for one $0.75 purchase but I'm assuming it worth one load.

    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.

    ## Review: The Laundry Room (Berkeley & Oakland, San Pablo)…read more I've been to both Laundry Room locations--Berkeley and Oakland--and funny enough, they're both on San Pablo. I actually ended up at the Oakland one by accident (directionally challenged over here!), but I'm glad I did because both spots are equally impressive. Over the past year, I've dealt with housing instability, which means I've spent a lot of time in laundromats across the Bay Area. For me, keeping my clothes clean is a way of maintaining dignity and stability when life feels chaotic. Right now, I'm staying with friends and doing laundry for their whole household every week, so I've become something of a laundromat connoisseur. And let me tell you--The Laundry Room chain is hands-down the nicest laundromat experience I've had anywhere. ### What Makes Them Stand Out - **Top-notch machines**: All brand new, spotless, and seemingly sterilized daily. - **Attendant always on-site**: Unlike most laundromats where you have to call a number and wait for help, here there's always someone present, constantly cleaning and keeping everything in order. - **Cleanliness**: No moldy, grimy machines like you find elsewhere. Everything is sparkling. - **Amenities**: Bathrooms for customers (rare in laundromats!), free Wi-Fi, flatscreen TVs with live sports, and even free coffee. - **Atmosphere**: Chill enough that I once brought in some fried chicken from down the block, and no one batted an eye. ### Practical Perks - **Parking lot in the back**: Huge plus in the Bay Area. - **Machine sizes**: No super-small washers here--the smallest is a medium, starting at $5. Perfect for big loads. - **Neighborhood extras**: Right on the block you'll find two fantastic Mexican supermarkets and a fantastic Arab market (house made baklava!) all of which accept EBT. ### Final Thoughts After visiting laundromats all over the Bay, The Laundry Room has become my go-to spot. Between the cleanliness, amenities, and friendly staff, it's a five-star experience every time. Whether you're in Berkeley or Oakland, you'll feel comfortable doing laundry here--and maybe even enjoy it.

    This is a great laundromat. I went here quite early in the morning (7am). Was completely empty so…read moreI had the place to myself. Very clean facility. I thought the washers were a bit on the pricy side, but found out later their prices are competitive with similar facilities. $7 for the large washer and a quarter for every 7 minutes of dryer use. It is awesome to be able to purchase the dryer in such small increments. Every machine was working, which was refreshing for a laundromat. They also have free WiFi. Only drawback was difficult finding parking, but that's to be expected in Oakland. Would use this place again.

    We got hit by a dose of lice in our house so we had to clean everything plush. I decided to check…read moreout this place because they have industrial size washers and dryers that can clean all your comforters and any type of stuffed anything. Parking was relatively easy but it really is depending on the time of day you're coming. They have a vending machine where you can get detergent and all sorts of that stuff and they also sell bags in that vending machine that you can put your clothes into. I found that helpful but just keep in mind it's a dollar per each item and that adds up quickly depending on how many loads you're doing. Highly recommend to bring your own detergent. The machines take debit and credit cards and also coins. Washing and drying time are comparable and I love how hot the dryers get. You can add time onto your current drying time which is nice as well. They do have option to have someone clean your clothes for you but that doesn't appear to be an option on the weekend so just keep that in mind. There is Wi-Fi available in some tables available for folks to sit at to fold or just to do work from. The only downside I would say about this place that there's really no places to eat relatively nearby. You'll have to walk or drive and if you've already taken the time to get a nice parking spot , you may not want to move. You can always get the food delivered but just one thing to note if you're like me and we're trying to do laundry and get food while you wait. The facility is nice and well-maintained and everyone pretty much keeps to themselves while they do their laundry which is also nice. Not sure if there's a high time for people to come here but typically on the weekend around early evening was pretty slow. Did start to pick up closer to 8 PM but they're always seem to be a machine available. Something to know is that they don't have a lot of industrial size washers and dryers. I want to say they probably have 2-4 industrial washers and same with the dryers. They may have more of the dryers that are larger than washers but just something to keep in mind because the washers to come in a variety of sizes and the industrial size ones are always the first to be used.
