Venice Beach Wash Coin Laundry

Conveniently located next to Whole Foods. Relatively clean and the machines work well. Beware of the change machines, they take your money and if they are out of change there is no way to retrieve the bills. The employee onsite will have you fill out a form with your info to be reimbursed but you will never ever hear from them or see your money again. Lesson: bring exact change or better, go to a different place.

I was coming to this location on a weekly basis but after they changed ownership it went down hill.
Washers and dryers are constantly out of service and this one time the power went out. I would had gone crazy if my clothes was not clean after the power issue.
Do not recommend the laundry mat.

Just happened!!! For washer it was perfect clean and fast. But for dryer machine just my luck that I picked the one that out of order without no sign. I put 4 quarters for 40mins then follow the instructions and press start it’s seem like the machine doesn’t work. I asked the girl who working here and she was on the phone (did she suppose to take care customer?) Fine. She follows me (still on the phone) to the machine. She told me change to the new one. Ok it’s sound great! I change and I put more 4 quarters. Then I ask for my quarters back from the one that out of order. She looks at me and said «it’s not my business!!!» Really? I willing to pay but how about the service. Not responsible for that or solve the problem for customer? Then she gave me only 3 quarters back and she said that «it’s my money I have to pay on my own!» Oh! It made me feel bad. How many machines was out of order here and no one get that money back?! Terrible service! Before I left I return the money back to her. I usually came here many times but now it’s last time for sure. Bye!

The sign says they lock the doors at 10pm, tho you have until 11 pm to finish. I got there at 9:50, and them doors were locked. If you go, I wouldn’t cut it close.

drying machine swallowed a quarter and attendant will not return… feels like doing laundry in prison here

If I could I would give it 0 stars. The new people that work there are irresponsible and do not care. I just went to go wash my clothes and I thought the washing machine was working, I had put my soap and money all of the sudden the machine was not working. I asked a lady that was working to check it or give me my money and she turned around and left without giving me my money or solving the issue. DO NOT WASH YOUR CLOTHES HERE! It is a trick to steal your money and not even care to put not in service signs. I will find out who the owner of the laundry matt and have these Salvadorian ladies fired!

They let bums hang out inside and out front so you usually have to walk past people bathing themselves so I stopped cleaning my clothes there. They did have change machine that charged but was convenient; it’s now is for customers only.

ALWAYS full of bums. If you want to wash your bedding and clothes in the same place flea and meth infested loads of laundry are being churned out daily, then come here. Also have seen on multiple occasions families washing shopping carts full of dirty rugs. The parking sucks too. Park in the back? Get double parked. Park in the front? Spend 20 minutes waiting for Lincoln & Rose traffic. Don’t know why I came here.

STAY AWAY! This laundromat has deteriorated over time to the point I will never use it again.
Why? 1. Customers over-​soap (residual soap in the final rinse contributes to more soap in the next (MY) wash). 2. Also, cheap powered soap is always (!) stuck in the over-​sized machines dispensers – I have to stand on my toes to see the clumped soap powder. I’ve had to scoop it every time I use the machine out with my fingers, then clean the dispenser with paper towels – I should not be doing this – what are the attendants there for? 3. The water temperature is always inconsistent. 4. The owners have reduced the number of washes and rinses on the two largest washers, the clothes don’t get that clean without washing them twice – you need a full cycle to wash, then a full cycle to rinse – paying twice for one load! 5. The last time I came in (Aug 8), a number of machines were a making jet-​sounding noise on the spin cycle – both a jumbo washer + a top loader! Horrible sound! 6. GREASE ON MY CLOTHES! a young man was working on some of the dryers & when he was done I happened to use one he’d been working on (I did not realize it until I took out my a load of white/​light colored t-​shirts (my best ones).I saw they ALL had dots and smears of grease on them!!! I took two to the dry cleaner. For the others I bought a bottle of degreaser to clean them. Shame on the repair person for NOT CLEANING UP AFTER REPAIRING. This is a laundry for heaven’s sake – you go there to get your clothes clean, not dirty! 7. Speaking of dirty – a lot of homeless people come here to wash their very smelly clothes, sleeping bags & blankets (that have been placed on streets and alleys) – FILTHY! Also, I often see leaves + other icky residue at the bottom of many washers. 8. REFUNDS? Just TRY & get your money back if you’ve lost it in these old machines or dryers – I have lost a total of 10 dollars over time (+ cost of dry cleaning & degreaser). I made a request for the first $ 6 in the past – NO ANSWER/​NO REFUND. 9. Bottom line, I ABSOLUTELY DO NOT RECOMMEND VENICE BEACH LAUNDRY. I wish someone would take it over and put in new modern machines. 10. I have since found a clean laundry with new machines that uses a card instead of coins + excellent attendants that actually help you. It’s much further away, but well worth it! Bottom line: I suggest you STAY AWAY from Venice Beach Laundry if you want clean clothes.

This laundromat became our lifeline during our «summer of moving around a lot.» In fact, on trips out of the city we would roll our suitcases into the laundromat, do our laundry, pack it back into our suitcases, roll them out, and leave the city.
The pros are the same as everyone else’s: it’s cheap, the machines work fast, it’s clean, it’s next to a Whole Foods and Groundwork Coffee (so you can grab food or a coffee while wait for your laundry), and in our experience it was never too busy. The facility has coin machines and detergent/​softener/​dryer sheets you can purchase for 75 cents.

Nice place! The giant washers are great for comforters, the place is clean and well lit. The video game machines are a great touch, that racing game is a great value for 25c. Beware, the claw machine is hella rigged tho.

My girlfriend doesn’t have a washer/​dryer at her house so I volunteered to help out. Do your best to bring your quarters ahead of time. The change machine gobbled up $ 3.75. You gotta wonder how often that occurs in a given day, this place is very conveniently located and as a result sees tremendous volume. She filled out a little card and gave it to the guy who was working in order to get her money back (THEY DON’T REFUND IT RIGHT THEN AND THERE?!). We’ll see if she gets the refund, pretty suspect that you have to wait. If they bar her, this review will inevitably change to a 1 star. The machine also gave us 2 fake quarters?! Uhhhhhh, what!!! I caught them and returned them to the dude working, but again bring your change ahead of time. The change machines are clearly suspect here.
Fix your change machines guys or accept credit cards!!! I also recommend when they don’t give proper change to just reimburse the people on the spot. Filling out paper work for a $ 3.75 rebate in the mail is pretty asinine. The reason this review is as high as it is has to due with how nice the attendant was despite his hands being tied to refund our money right then and there. I appreciate having my own washer/​dryer all the more after last night.

Why five stars? Because it’s clean, big, well lit and next to whole Foods, The 99 Cent Store, CVS and La Cabana Mexican restaurant. So while your laundry is washing and drying you can do all your shopping needs and get dinner! Plus, there’s usually an attendant around, so if you need assistance, you got it.

Seems like a reasonably priced laundromat. Open later than most in the area. Most machines are clean. Has a guy going around making sure things are clean.

A place to do your laundry… And a place to roam next door as you wait. Location is great. Parking is great. Machines fall on the old side. very old. but they’re cleaned & maintained. Good priced. $ 1.50 for single loads. 25 cents for 10 mins of dryer time. Arcade games in the back. I’ll use my extra quarters on those.
I’d come back here out of convenience. Whole foods is next door.

I really like this place.
Pro: it’s next to whole foods and whole foods has wifi.
Pro: it has a large, private parking lot via the whole foods.
Pro: it has a LOT of washers and driers. Also washers where you can do double loads.
Pro: it’s inexpensive. Wash is $ 1.50 per load and .25 per 10 minutes on the driers.
Con: it’s old, however it’s clean. This is not the place to see and be seen, but then again who wants to be seen doing their laundry?

A great place to get those endless loads of laundry washed in a snap!
Location — 5 stars
Located in the Lincoln & Rose Shopping area, the parking lot is huge, plus, plenty of free 2 hour street parking on Rose most days. Before or after you do laundry, you can mosey on over to Whole Foods for a snack, or the 99 cent store for some last minute household items.
Facility — 4.5 Stars
As clean as it can be! There is always an employee on hand who can usually be observed sweeping, and picking up after patrons leaving used dryer sheets, ect. Plus, there are tons of washers that can accommodate 1, 3, and even 8 loads! Lots of dryers as well, with two 6 load dryers for those extra heavy laundry days!
Customer Service — 5 stars
There is always at least one staff member on hand to help answer questions. The last time I went, I accidentally loaded everything into broken washer. The staff member reimbursed me for my quarters and gave me a few individual detergent boxes from their vending machine so I could use another unit. The whole event took just a few minutes, and I was still in and out of there pretty quickly! No hassles, and no drama!
Traffic — 4 stars
Despite the size of the place, and their many washers and dryers, the place can get very busy on weekends, and in the afternoon/​early evening. The weekday mornings are usually nice and empty. Also, I was warned by several patrons about transients stealing unattended clothe, and detergent bottles. Sticking close to your stuff is a must!
*Reasonably priced machines, and a plethora of them make it convenient and super easy to get all that added up laundry done! The parking is major bonus!*

It’s a laundromat, what do you expect? The people that work here are rude but you’ll get what you need done and don’t really have to deal with them often. Not open till midnight, they close at 11pm.

I do my laundry here every other weekend.
Pros:
One wash $ 1.50
Driers are $.25 per 10 minutes
Whole Foods next door
$.99 store next door
Parking is easy
Awesome Mexican restaurant with a hidden bar across the street (see my reviews)
Cons:
Due to its popularity there can be a shortage of machines
Along those lines there can be a shortage of baskets
Whole Foods next door
Getting back on to Lincoln can be a chore
I’ve never had anything stolen, most people are very courteous and keep to themselves, the machines are always clean inside. Venice Whole Foods crowd is somewhat intimidating so if you plan to go in don’t wear your «laundry day clothes».

Super awesome. Thanks Unilocal for turning me on to this place! Turns out I’ve driven by here about a hundred times and never looked in to see what it actually was.
Big bright area. Clean, with machines humming away. Not sketchy at all! Security in the parking lot (thank you whole foods!).
I’ll be back, oh yes I will.
