This was the first laundromat I used when I lived in SYP. This is a perfectly fine and convenient place to do your laundry. is it possible to give 3.5 stars?
The Good: this is the only do-it-yourself laundromat in this area of HK island. It is open around the clock, so you can go wash your clothing at any hour of the day. There are small stools to sit on while you wait for your laundry to be done. The machines are relatively clean and are effective at washing your clothing. This is very convenient for when you really just have to wash your clothes and your building doesn't have a washer.
There are also dryers! Yes, you can actually dry your own laundry instead of having to hang it up in your apartment or up on your roof. They sell detergent and those little laundry dryer fabric softener sheets.
The Bad: Because HK is so humid, the dryers are quite humid too. After running my laundry through the dryer twice, the clothing was still quite damp. The dryer windows get very foggy while drying the clothes - something I haven't seen doing laundry in other countries. Having to schlep all of my damp laundry back to my apartment was a pain because the wet clothing was heavy. I'm sure this problem is a non issue during the less humid winter months, but for October I would have had to either run the dryer three to four times OR just given up and dried my clothing at home.
I think this place is a great option for those who want the freedom of doing their laundry whenever they'd like, but the humidity situation in the dryers was a deal breaker for me. read more
