Did anyone ever see that movie "Elephant Walk" with Elizabeth Taylor? It's like that..
Jennifer O.

#13/2016 With 15 Maytag high efficiency washers and 7 Dexter big-load machines (one seemingly big enough to launder a sofa), The Hayes Laundromat is a solid neighborhood spot when you have to get a lot of laundry done fast- or in my case, launder heavy items like goose down duvets and coverlets that need high capacity washers and very hot industrial dryers to be cleaned and dried properly. The machines are spotless and judging from the empty clang once you deposit your quarters (note to would-be thieves) coins are emptied out regularly. A narrow space that gets steamy once a few dryers are going, The Hayes Laundry would feel cramped, fast, if you were doing laundry in prime time. I got lucky with (unmetered) street parking so I didn't have to haul stuff very far. Not experienced with high efficiency washers, I got frustrated watching a load with one minute to finish tumble dry, then stand still, then tumble dry again and again for 15 minutes, aargh! Clean washers & dryers, average price, they also have a change machine that dispenses tokens good for use only at The Hayes. I recommend.

The have change machines for 1, 5, 10, & 20 dollar bills and 75c 1 load boxes of detergent.

This place is PERFECT. It's immaculately clean, it hasn't been busy, and there are 75c one-load detergent boxes. Also - change machines for $1,5,10 & 20 bills. And there is an ATM. MY laundromat for sure.

The dryer powered off with $5 and wet laundry. Lame.

As far as laundromat a go, it's okay. Three main problems: 1) The dryer powered off in the middle of a run and ate $5. No one here to fix it; no phone number to call. There was another woman whose money was also taken. 2) The dryers are very particular about how you put quarters in. It took me almost ten minutes to put $15 of quarters in the machine. Too fast, too slow, not enough spin, dropped in with a plop, and the machine rejects the quarter. 3) Extremely expensive. The $2.75 washer is smaller than a bucket. Really a rip off.

See all

The current wash and fold prices are awesome (25% discount). And it comes wrapped in nice paper. Turn around time is great as well.

Fillmore, Hayes Valley

This place is great except for the staff…read more The staff occupies the majority of the machines during the day, and they are not friendly. They will not remove their items from the washer, but as someone mentioned earlier, they have no qualms with taking your stuff out and putting it to the side. They want to make it clear you're on their turf. They pretend to only speak Spanish and blare Telemundo. I know they understand me. They just would rather not help you. I get it. They probably get some less than favorable people in there. This happened: a woman from the staff put 2 socks into a dryer right in front of me. She did it just to occupy it, so I could not use it. Be prepared to mean mug back at them. And you kind of have to get up in their business to get them to move the laundry along.

I've been coming here for 13 years, and this last ownership is by far the worst. Save yourself the…read morefrustration -- avoid this place. If I could give it zero stars, I would. Problems: * No staff available when machines break * Half the machines don't work and swallow your money * I've lost a lot of money due to their lack of oversight * ATM machines rarely work, yet you're charged $1 per laundry card * Machines and chairs are dirty * No carts available because they're stolen * Homeless people hang out inside, bring pets, feed them, and leave the space dirty and unsanitary, with no supervision * They locked the backyard, which used to be one of the few good things about this place -- no access anymore After more than a decade of using this laundromat, I've watched it completely fall apart. This ownership clearly does not care.

The staff was super kind, welcoming, & helpful, which made the whole experience even better. I love that they offer multiple ways to pay -- you can use quarters, tap to pay with your debit card, or download the FasCard app, which is super convenient. Not to mention, with every dollar you spend you gain points, that can be used for future discounts. The laundromat itself was very clean, well maintained, & located in a nice, safe part of the city. Lee answered every question I had, gave me very detailed information, & explained everything really clearly. They close at 10 PM, & I didn't finish drying & folding my clothes until around 10:45. After I finished, I went outside to wait for my Lyft, & Lee actually came outside to let me know I didn't have to wait out there & invited me back inside until my ride arrived. That level of kindness & customer service really stood out to me Overall, such a great experience & I'll definitely be coming back!
