The Laundry Room of Palms

Have been back a few times since my initial visit. All the bugs have been worked out, the machines are clean and well-​maintained, and the staff is super-​helpful. Best laundromat on the west side!

This place is pretty convenient, especially if you’re like me and you wait until you’re on your last clean pair of underwear to do laundry. Awesome to be able to do 4 loads at once. My only complaint is that the dryers only do 10 min at a time and it’s a little difficult to tell how much time you need. I usually need 30 min to wash and 45 min to dry per load at my apartment, but the 4 load washer only took 19 minutes so when my clothes were still wet after 30 min in the dryer it was a little confusing/​frustrating. I’m sure next time it will be smoother when I know how much time to expect for the dryer. It’s a little cramped, so plan ahead and try to avoid busy hours. I love not having to buy a roll of quarters, and there’s a convenience store 2 doors down with a bathroom and snacks if you want to nosh on something while you wait. Also, free wifi is always a plus, but despite signage I still can’t figure out which wifi is for The Laundry Room. All in all a solid 4 stars.

Pricing as of 1÷30÷16
LG two loader 1.95 (runs about 34 minutes)
Continental 3 loader 2.77 (runs about 19 minutes)
Gaint washer 6.70
Dryer a quarter for 9 minutes
Looking for new laundry mat because BF think the one we go to is too expensive. Found this on Unilocal and gave it a try.
Since i gave the other place a 4 star, the laundry room should receive a 5 stars.
The Lady attendant is super nice. I was fighting with the VTM to register my card and she came to the rescue. She also asked me if everything okay with the clothes. She was a busy bee the whole time I was there: sweeping and mopping floor, putting carts away, clean the machines. She is very polite and patience with all different customers.
I recommend using the high setting for dryer if your clothes could take it.
Place is clean. They shared the parking spots with 2 other stores and also have 3 more around the corner of the building.
Kudos to the neighbor who came in calmly to check who was in his spot.

They have 2 industrial size washers!!! Makes laundry FAST! Perfect for blankets, comforters, loads of towels… and they use a laundry card. You can upload money on it with cash or credit!!!

These new Continental Girbau machines are a joke. Longest cycle for heavy soil is only 22 min. Are you kidding me. of course it doesn’t wash off anything. What’s the point of new equipment if it doesn’t perform. I can do better job washing it in my bathtub and save $ 2.75. Added stars for nice attendants and overall cleanliness.

I’m not a frequent laundromat user because my apartment has good machines. I go seasonally to wash bulky items like comforters.
$ 0.25 per 9min for dryers. (Didn’t use washers.)
Pros:
1) Brand new stainless steel machines.
2) Coinless system: prepaid cards take BOTH cash and credit.
3) Attendant always present, constantly sweeping and moving empty carts out of the way.
4) Free wifi.
5) Dryers worked exceptionally well. (In older places, dryers work inconsistently, some being much weaker than its neighbors.)
6) Flat screen TVs to entertain you while waiting.
Cons:
1) Limited parking in front and rear.
2) Wish it had longer hours. Closes at 10:30pm.
Additional tidbits:
1) Mini mart next door for snacks.
2) Restaurants on nearby Venice Blvd (south) for good food if you’re okay leaving your laundry for a bit.
3) Customers seemed courteous. No creeps.

Yay for The Laundry Room!
Who gets excited about laundry places? I do.
Plusses about this place: brand new LG washers, card system (you don’t need coins, they have a machine that you can load $$ onto a card), very clean, always 1 – 2 attendants on staff. There is a liquor store right next to it so you can get snacks while you wait. They also have 2 small flat screen TVs with sound so you can entertain yourself while your chonies dry.
Minuses — Not a very big place and it gets CROWDED. Not a ton of folding area. No single washers — only double, triple and quadruple, so if you have small loads, go somewhere else. Not a lot of parking.
They also have drop off service if you are too lazy to do your laundry yo’self.

I have been here a couple of times now and it’s been going well! There is always a staff member on hand in case people have questions, and they have been polite and helpful so far. The machines are really new and efficient, and I love that drying is relatively cheap — only a quarter for 9 minutes or just a dollar for 36! Very large washing machines (the smallest ones can still do 2 regular loads!). Definitely will be a regular (especially when the machines in my apartment are so out modes and so inefficient!)!

This place is great. New machines, super clean, and very helpful. They use a card system that if you’re in a hurry like me and you don’t like to read can be annoying for your first time. But after you figure it out, and there’s always someone who can help you, the card is super convenient. I love business that take pride in what they do and it’s obvious that this is one of them. Keep up the good work.

I’ve been living in LA for three years and this is my favorite laundry place. Pretty sad I didn’t find out about this location earlier. The card system is nice knowing that I won’t have to look for loose change or go to the bank. Good way to keep the customers also. The attendant is also helpful. She’s always asks me and other customer if we need any help.
Machines look new and are always clean every time I’ve been. Lots of laundry carts as well as places to fold your clothes. Would recommend!
Might have to come early on the weekends or during the weekdays as parking is tough. They do have their own parking area though.

This laundromat is exceptionally clean and has free wifi! The machines are modern, and there’s an attendant on duty at all times wiping down the machines and answering questions.
The best part– no quarters needed! They have a card system that allows you to use cash or credit to preload money onto a reusable card that you swipe at each washer/​dryer.
Definitely the best laundromat I’ve ever been to.

This is my first choice in laundromats. The place is clean and attendants-​on-​duty (one attendant per shift) are usually helpful although I haven’t asked any of them for help. I only notice them helping other customers and, in one occasion, I noticed the attendant standing by the machine I was using and looking around. I asked her if she was waiting for my machine but she said she was looking if anyone needed help. Nice! Reminds me of Valentino, the upscale restaurant.
This laundromat’s sitting area also is quite nice. It gets a nice breeze from the west (unless of course if there’s a heat wave). Here’s a photo from the owner

There are informative signages about the machines above them. Here’s a photo from Unilocaler Joseph C.
Machines are card-​operated, not coin-​operated. You buy a card and load it. If you load your card with $ 20 cash, you get an extra $ 2 credit. Here’s a picture of the card machine from Unilocaler Yenny D.
The only caveats are parking is limited, it is a small facility and, during heat-​wave days, the inner part of the laundromat gets a bit too warm. But warm days currently are behind us so I’ll be going to this place every weekend. And as for parking, many of their customers walk to this facility so that lessens the competition for those spots.
This is the only laundromat that I noticed that has the most millennials as customers. Over all, the customers here are decent people.

Having searched for a decent laundromat in West LA and being unimpressed with the options, I decided to expand my search a bit east to Palms. The attendant immediately noticed that I was a first-​timer at this establishment and guided me through the process of obtaining a card. The washers look new and well kept, which is quite impressive given the horrors I’ve seen at other laundromats in the area. Came here on a Sunday and I was expecting a mad house, but it was surprisingly not crazy. Prices are average for the area, but I do appreciate the attentive service you get here compared to the competition.
Pros: Clean facilities, new washers, and cards that free you from carrying a piggy bank full of quarters. Parking was available, even on a Sunday.
Cons: the seating area is limited, so you might have to kill time in your car or sit on the steps outside the door.
I will be back.

Kris just moved into a new apartment down the street which ironically enough has a washer/​dryer — problem is they’re just not hooked up yet! Of course we (and by «we» I mean he) leaves everything to the last minute including doing a ton of laundry for a weekend trip.
A quick Unilocal search lead me to «the laundry room» which like other laundromats was super close by — but it held a markedly higher star rating so I decided to check it out.
The Laundry a room is in a small strip mall just off motor ave on Tarbor st. They share several (approx 6) parking spots with the neighboring businesses (99cent store and a video store) and I assume there is also street parking.
The laundry room does not operate on quarters but rather a reloadable card. The initial price is $ 1, but I’m told if you register the card online you get that dollar back (and your balance is protected if your card is ever lost). Furthermore, if you load $ 20 on your card you receive $ 2 credit (my washes clocked in at $ 2.75/washer so one was only 75cents). Also the machine accepts cash OR debit cards — which is highly favorable as opposed to scrounging for quarters.
The female attendant working was very friendly and helpful and helped explain the card process to me. I believe there is also an option where she can load the machine if you do not want to purchase a card.
She also helped explain the machines stating that you select your cycle, but once the machine is closed you can not open it — if you choose to hit the «stop» button it will charge you again. Instructions are also clearly posted on the signs above the washers.
The machines — and the entire laundromat — were exceptionally clean and modern looking. The washers were so quiet I actually had to go back and make sure that they had started. Also when you insert your card into the machine your current balance will flash then it will show how much the machine has deducted and finally show the new balance.
They have a bench and bar stool seating area along the window with several magazines — or if you’re like me you could just sit and people watch.
As other Unilocalers have noted it is not the largest laundromat. The aisles are a bit small and they do not have too many carts — but if you have a non-​traditional schedule like myself you could make it work!

My husband and I got sick of taking an entire day to do laundry on the one machine at our apartment complex, so we decided to start going to a laundry mat. After several encounters with dirty, gross, shady laundry mats in the Palms area (one in which, no joke, we had to call the police as my husband was being verbally assaulted and physically threatened by a drunk guy who had peed himself– cool story…) we stumbled across The Laundry Room. This place is about as classy as laundry mats come. It is clean, well-​lit, and the machines are brand new, hence, never out-​of-​order. There is always staff there to assist you and they are constantly cleaning up. You can even use your debit card to reload a reusable card (bye bye, having to make special trips for damn quarters!). Overall, would highly recommend the Laundry Room in Palms for all your garment cleaning needs.

The staff Veronica and Janeh (aka) Janet are super helpful reliable and nice, owner is ontop of things be sure to speak up if you need any assistance.

Convenient location, parking is pretty good for when I came. The facilities are nice and clean, new washers & dryers. Free wifi, thats always a plus. The price for fluff and fold is $ 1.25/lb which is more than what I pay for at another spot down the street (.89/​lb), so I probably wouldn’t use that service here. Otherwise, it’s a cool spot… can’t complain.

A pretty clean laundry mat! I don’t visit very many laundry mats but come here when my apartment washers get too congested/​broken. There are a variety of machines, some a lot more expensive so just read all the prices before choosing one (the first time I went there I overpaid for one machine over another lol). They keep the place really clean, so that’s a huge plus! Some of the machines are fairly new too.
The only downsides for me are that you have to purchase a reloadable card in order to use their machines (which is kinda dumb imo bc I hardly carry cash other than coins for laundry and the reload machine doesn’t take coins… gargh), and there is really limited parking. Another thing is even though it states that they close at 10:30pm, the attendant will usually try to kick you out around 9:15pm because he wants to go home -.-;

This is by far the cleanest and nicest laundrymat I have ever been to! Ivan the guy who works there is very nice and helpful! Its a little smaller than other places but wow is it nicer!
My girlfriend said I had to see, it so we walked down there… I couldn’t figure out what the big deal about a laundrymat was, until I saw all the new machines and no layers of dirt and grime… almost wish I had laundry to do…

Even more updates and changes! They have now moved to a card system, no more quarters! The proprietor here is super friendly and nice (he also recognized me from my Unilocal review lol) he helped me set up my new laundry card –it’s $ 1 to purchase BUT when you register your card (and you should) you get the $ 1 back! And if you ever lose the card, registering it lets him look you up in the system and see how much money you had left on it!
Always an attendant on duty, cleaning or helping people out. The washers play a cute little song when your laundry is done!
New paint job and floor tiles and there are TVs now! Still very happy with the nice new machines :)
