    Gum inside machine.
    Zillah B.

    Really dirty. I give it two stars because it nearly my gym, which is convenient. But the place is perennially unattended.i found gum in one dryer. On the weekends, the floors are covered with trash and detergent.

    Awesome Laundry-mat if there's such a place... Met the owner and he's a great guy, like everyone's favorite uncle! Clean and a great place to hang out, actually, it feels very safe on Park Street near all the best spots in town. Check it out if you lose a sock or space and forget to pick up your clothes, you can recover without divorce or loosing your partner's best fitting daily favorites.

    I would've given a 5-star, but man ... one of these machines is buzzing non-stop! I'm sure the owner will fix it soon, however.

As soon as I got there, an employee walked up to me and told me to move my car from the front of the building and park in the back despite the fact that the front is public property and completely legal to park on. He gave me directions to the back, then proceeded to say I was "wasted," even though I was completely sober and could clearly smell alcohol on his breath. After putting my clothes in the washer, I went back to my car and then walked inside again, assuming there was a vending machine to buy something to drink. Instead, the same employee loudly said "Excuse me!" as if I was deaf, followed by "Hello, what are you doing?" I calmly told him I was trying to get something to drink. He responded by saying, "That's not a vending machine. You can get water from the sink," which was already unprofessional. Then he actually grabbed my arm, pushed me to the side, and said, "I just mopped." This was completely disrespectful, invasive, and unacceptable. No customer should ever be touched or spoken to this way. I felt uncomfortable and unsafe. I do NOT recommend coming to this place.

    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.

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.

It usually costs me between $20-$25 weekly for my family of four, which is incredibly reasonable when I think of the time it saves me from washing/folding my own laundry. I have been using their wash and fold services every week (sometimes twice a week) for about 2 years. I found them when I hurt my back moving and couldn't carry a heavy laundry basket filled with clothes for a family of 4 down/up the stairs to our washing machine in the basement. I can pull up in front of Park Central Cleaners and the owner will come out and get the basket from my car. He also carries the folded laundry back out to my car when it's ready the next day. The dry cleaning services are cheap, fast & excellent as well. Also, they have fixed buttons, mended tears, sown on patches, repaired hems, etc, for me for free or for a very small fee. I have always been thrilled with the result. What started as a necessity because of my injury has become something I really enjoy. Park Central Cleaners always does an excellent job for a great price. I highly recommend their services to anyone!
