Prima Launderette was a lifesaver on our trip to the UK. We spent several weeks across the pond and found that unlike in this states, Hotel Guest Laundry rooms are exceedingly rare. Like the US, hotels hire third party laundry services that charge per piece- but that's the only option, so off to the local laundromat it is!
Prima is run entirely by app. We were able to reserve a washer for 10 min, walk to the storefront, and begin. We brought our own detergent sheets but for a tiny fee detergent can be auto dispensed should you prefer.
My only negative is that, like many similar services, the time on the machine seemed to stall. Ie the machine read 35 minutes so I set a timer, returned after 35 minutes to find 8 more minutes were left. A bit nerve racking when we had a train to catch! All was well and we enjoyed this service. read more
