Sobe Suds Coin Laundry

I am here visiting South Beach and wanted to take back clean clothes as a result I found this place and it is a whole in the wall. Somewhat dirty, no one really spoke English, and unlike home that usually has the machines to purchase detergent for a dollar or so everything here was $ 3. Nonetheless everything seemed turned out fine. I never felt threaten and I walked about 25 mins back to my hotel with no problem. In spite of such I would probably go back if I ever visited this area again.

I live right around the corner and, because of that, have used this laundromat a few times. It is very dirty, it’s definitely hit or miss with the niceness of the staff. The lady that I encountered had a horrible attitude and made my entire experience bad, but mostly annoying. She was just rude, unhelpful, and intrusive.
Try the laundromat off Washington and 5^th or alton and. 8^th (i think). Both much cleaner and the staff is very nice.

Probably the best thing about Sobe Suds is Silvia, the manager. Even when it’s busy, she keeps her calm and is always willing to help you. Also, the place has a nice sitting area with a comfy sofa and armchairs. Plus, the location is great, with places to snack or get coffee right next door. The downside is the owner needs to invest money in updating the machines. Several don’t work and those that do look pretty old and beat up. If you go, I recommend avoiding the evening post-​work rush. It gets pretty crowded.

All I needed was change and I understand that these types of businesses have ‘policies’ (which is nonsense) so I couldn’t, that was fine. I told the lady I was going to wash something in exchange for the change, she said no, that was fine. What’s not fine is the blatant disregard for common courtesy, just say no and be done with it. However, if you’re going to respond to a simple request in an abrasive, disrespectful and just plain rude demeanor you got another thing coming. These disgusting beings (2 females) not only treated me with disrespect but insulted my partner as well and went as far as shutting off the coin machine when I had placed an item in the machine to be washed… seriously?! They said the amount was more than what I needed for a load… huh? Wait, where is the logic in denying a cash flow in exchange for the service you’re already providing!!! WOW… all in all they treat anyone no matter what race (referring to previous reviews) or how polite you are as a delinquent. Simply put they’re mad at the world and hey it’s okay maybe you didn’t think you’d be running a crappy laundromat (poor conditions & I had to skip an entire row of broken machines) at the age of 55 but you know what it’s more than most people have. Do us all a favor either go back to where you came from and call it a day or change your attitude. I’m a young Hispanic female and even speaking Spanish in an attempt to level with them didn’t do any good. It’s a real shame to be witness to this kind of treatment in this day and age.

Well, one positive thing was that the woman working was extremely nice.
The place is dirty. A lot of the machines were out of order. A lot of the machines were being used for their wash and fold service.
Overall, pretty unhappy with my experience. The owner needs to get some new washers in that place considering so many have «out of order» signs on them. They need to clean it up.

I had to go this place because the place I regularly use, was unusable, again. I have mixed feelings about my experience:
— the lady in charge was very nice
— the lady in charge was using about ¹⁄₃ of the dryers for their wash and fold service. many of the dryers had stopped and she refused to empty them saying «she can’t» while there were no dryers left to use (making me wait)
— there are more washers and dryers than the laundromat I use on 15^th street
— the place was dirtier than the 15^th st laundromat, in some places disgusting, but I least I got some machines to use and ultimately get the job done
— there is a small free parking lot, but I didn’t get to use it because it remained full. most south beach laundromats have no parking at all
Overall, I was relieved to find a place I can use after my home machine failed (again), and my regular back-​up laundromat was unusable. I will make this my regular laundromat given there are more machines and both laundromats confiscate a large majority for business use so that matter between the two of them is a «wash»…hahahah

After coming here for the first time on a random late night, I went through the horrible experience of finding out that my car had been towed right outside the laundromat while I was doing my laundry inside. Apparently I parked in a «no parking» zone, even though we were in the lot.
My rating of four stars is due to the fact that the owner, Mike, took the time to get back to me and went out of his way to literally get back more than half of the $ 240 we had to unjustly pay Beach Towing. With kind and hospitable owners/​management like that, one can only expect quality work and business. Thanks again!

This is the most discussing place you can imagine to wash your cloth !!! all the machines are cover with dust, between walls and machines it undescrible so mush dust and empty detergant bottles, garbage I mean it’s bad really bad.
shame people don’t take care of there place !!!
do your self a favor look for something else

Let me preface this with I HATE laundromats… Is it the worst, no. But I have definitely experienced better. I usually am blessed to have a washer dryer working in my apartment building, but they were replacing them so I had to hunt down a laundromat.
The first one I went to had no parking = fail.
I drove up the street and found this one. No parking in the lot, but there were meters out front, so I took one.
They have an odd variety of machines. Only massive loaders and pseudo massive loaders, so it’s a bit expensive to wash your stuff if you don’t have massive loads of clothes (around $ 6 per load). The driers got the job done in a half hour (0.25 = 10 minutes).
The floor was also SUPER dirty, so be careful not to drop your clean stuff & don’t put your laundry basket on the floor or you will have to clean it when you get home.
I hopefully won’t ever have to go back, and if I do have to go laundromating again I will probably try the other place first to see if it’s cheaper. On the plus side, my clothes were clean and dry by the end of my adventure.
