From what I have heard, this is the only laundromat in the city. I found the prices to be…read morereasonable for such a service, the equipment worked well, and with a little patience I figured things out. I'll add my tips below-
*Bernmobil #20 will take you quite close to the laundromat. The front has construction but trust the map and look for Cafe Kairo.
*Bring your own soap if you like, but a vending machine sells soap for 3 CHF i think. You can buy detergent at Coop and just leave your extras for the next kid.
*Cafe Kairo was super nice about providing change! Drop some extra in her tip jar!
**The machines only take 1Fr coins!! and you need 5-8 for each load to wash and another 3-4 to dry.
*WHEN YOU START THE CYCLE YOU CAN NOT OPEN THE DOOR!!
* If the cycle on the washer doesn't start, you might have the one that has a handle that really needs to be turned hard to the left.
* The dryer named Harry worked well and setting 1 was for Extra dry. I was able to dry three loads this way by checking them every 10 minutes to swap out items.
As the box on the wall that says Harry is used to provide power for the dryer, then you turn on the dryer and start the cycle. 1fr gets you 12 minutes. The time ticks by if you are drying or not. Don't mistake it for a change machine like i did!
*Be nice, clean up, check your pockets
*There is a Salvation Army one street over that sells BIG plastic bags for .15 Fr, and they are really good for holding laundry.
I recommend not overloading and sort your clothes, turn them inside out unless the outside is the dirty part.
