Manoa Laundry Discount Cleaning

This is the best one I’ve found. They overhauled the facility and have all new machines with plenty of time to really get your clothes clean. I try come on the days that Manoa Marketplace has their farmers market that way I can get my shopping done while I do my laundry. Also there are bathrooms that are conveniently located in the marketplace. All in all great facility and great location.

There has been a total turnaround from how it was a year or so ago. All the machines got replaced! They have a TV, free Wifi, and a website now. I couldn’t see the display say a machine was out of order when I put my detergent in, but when I left a note in their box they called me and sent me a credit. Maybe there are new owners? Everything is extremely clean now and they even have a parking spot permanently reserved in the back for people. A complete 180. It’s also open ²⁴⁄₇ now.

This laundromat continues to frustrate me every single time.
However, it is close to my home and our washer has been broken for over two months now:(
Proximity is the only reason I visit this location.
The card loading machines (2) to load money onto the cards used to pay for the washers and dryers have minds of their own. They will tell you to «see the Attendant». This is laughable as there is no attendant.
Consistently, I find a machine, put in my clothes and my detergent, THEN it tells me it’s out of service. I have wasted detergent multiple times!!!
I understand why there are so many terrible reviews of this establishment.
I pray we can afford to fix our machine soon.
I will say the laundromat is clean and (if you go at the right time) you may find parking.
Do not move to Mānoa unless you have a washing machine! Luckily, our dryer is functioning.

The owners of this place don’t care about you, your time, or your advice. They don’t even care about u returning either cuz all the same machines are broken. I returned here a year later cuz I had to. Exact same machines broken.
Pros. Come at night at about 8 pm. Its like a personal laundromat. But I’m sure u could easily get robbed or raped without anyone around to help u.

I’ve been going to Manoa Laundry for a few months, but no longer. I’ve found a cleaner and cheaper Laundromat in Kapahulu and they have an attendant present during operating hours.
I give Manoa Laundry 1 star for the following reasons:
1. Lots of machines, but every time I’ve gone, 4 to 5 washers and dryers were out of order.
2. No attendant on duty, therefore when problems arise, like machines not working and eats money, there is no way to get a quick refund. They say to write a note, but there is no quick resolution.
3. Prices keep going up.
4. Establishment had dirty water all over the floor.
5. Machines are old and eat coins. I’ve lost at least a dollar every visit.
6. There is no way to speak to a live person to report a problem. They have a number to call and leave a message but no one ever returns the call, no matter how many times you call and leave a message.
Manoa Laundry will not get a penny more of my hard earned money because I will never go back there again.

One star only because it’s empty and there are lots of available washers.
Pros: Lots of washers available
Cons: Parking-​although there’s parking right next to the laundromat and out the back door, it’s all «Reserved». Which means you have to find parking in the shopping center parking lot then carry you baskets across the parking lot and through the HUGE lanai in front of all the shops and restaurants. Nice.
Broken machines-​The ONE super loader is out of order and from the looks of previous Unilocal reviews, it has been for some time. There were maintenance people there when I was washing clothes and they didn’t even look at the super machine!
No attendant-​so when one of the machines inevitably eat your money, no one is there to help.
I also had problems with the machines rejecting my quarters. I had to transfer my laundry multiple times to fine ones that would actually work.
Overall-​skip this place.

Filthy. Machines not properly maintained. One machine took quarters and did not work. Another machine started working but did not spin. Not worth it.

This establishment does not meet average cleanliness standards.
There is no parking behind the business so you’ll have to carry your family’s laundry across a large parking lot and then across a large open square area — talk about airing out your dirty laundry. Everyone will get to see it.

I’ve been to great laundromat but this has to be one of the worst!!! Spent $ 4.50 on one of the triple loader and doesn’t work meaning it would spin probably every 40sec! So I waited till it stopped then moved to another triple loader same thing happened!!! Spent $ 9.00 for nothing! So I decided to use the smaller washer having to separate my laundry into 3 different washer spending $ 2.50 for each!!! What’s the point of having a business when they don’t have anyone around to help or at least answer our calls! It’s business like this makes me sick, making money off of us and not being considerate!!! I will never come here and will report to BBC.

I have to give Manoa Laundry 1 star for the following reasons:
I like the concept of Manoa Laundry because it is supposed to be convenient. They provide huge washers and dryers and have two machines that turn your dollars into quarters. They also sell little boxes of soap if you get desperate and they are right next to Bank of Hawaii and an ATM (if you need more money).
Here is why I am frustrated with Manoa Laundry:
Machines are consistently down or «out of order». Many times you don’t even know that the machine is out of order until it has eaten your 12 quarters and you are left standing there, very irritated. Sure they can mail you your refund but THAT’S NOT THE POINT!
Many times 1 of 2 quarter machines are out of order, which kind of ruins the whole point. Further, they have been raising the prices of their machines consistently, and in small increments so you don’t notice (ie: the dryers use to be $ 0.25 for 5 minutes, now it’s $ 0.25 for 4 minutes).
To me, if you’re going to be raising prices on the DL you should at least make sure your equipment is running smoothly and properly for customers, since there is no one in attendance ever.

I think this is the best one out there. Here’s why I like this laundromat:
1. Plenty of parking
2. They have a lot of machines
3. The prices, I believe are the best out there. 14 quarters for the small wash ($ 3.50), 20 quarters for the medium wash ($ 5) and 27 quarters for the only large wash ($ 6.75).
4. While you’re waiting for your laundry, Manoa Marketplace offers a great selection of places to eat, you can do grocery shopping at Safeway, make your deposits at one of the banks, get your nails done at Manoa Nails, grab a Starbucks or Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf, etc.
Need I say more? Don’t even bother with the other places! However, a msg to mgmt: PLS. clean up the place more often (wipe down the machines esp so they’re not all gooey) and service your equipment a little quicker. Please! Then you guys would totally deserve getting 5 stars: D

What a rip off!!! They raised the prices from 10 quarters a wash to 14 quarters a wash… Rather go somewhere else!!! And to think I’ve been a loyal customer weekly…

I got ripped off $ 3.00 because of 2 broken dryers and no one around to let them know. These 2 machines are money makers, no note saying they don’t work.

This place is about twice the size of the Nu’uanu laundry mat.
I went here on a Tuesday morning, so it was pretty empty.
I think they have 25 dryers, 20 double load washers, and 4 triple loaders.
Dryers: $ 0.25 for 5 minutes
Double load washers: $ 2.50
Triple load washers: $ 4.00
Everyone was very friendly.
The only down side was that all 3 of the change machines were broken and there was no one on staff.

My washing machine just broke and searching for a temporary laundromat led to mostly ghetto results.
Manoa Laundry is clean, quiet, lots of parking and well lit. I felt safe to leave my clothes in the wash and leave the building to get a quick lunch from the many options in the plaza. Overall a very pleasant experience when I was expecting a lousy chore.
Good machines, but I can only speak for the washing machines as my dryer is still working and I took my clothes home to dry.

Decent prices for wash and dry.
$ 2.25 for double loaders
$ 4.25 for triple loaders
25 cents for 5 mins dry for Huebsch machines only .
The only complaint, no return coin push button, spent $ 5.00 on the comforter size machine and it didn’t take any more coins. Maybe up the dry time to 7 mins a quarter we call the washing price even.
No attendant but there is a sign that says if you need a refund leave a note, sorry due to theft there is no paper, oh and for security purposes leave your address and zip.

Went here to wash some comforters but 2 of the 4 big machines were inoperative; one was plain broken and the other was so full of quarters I could’ve fished one or two out. Noticed the change machine was out of change too.
Several of the small machines were also posted as out of order. Machines that were working were dirty outside and the facility looks like it only gets cursory cleanings.
The loads are pricey – $ 6 for a large unit, $ 4.25 for the medium size. Not sure about the regular small size units.
After all that, I still would’ve gladly paid had the big machines been working.
When I walked away, $ 25 or better went with me.

Manoa Laundry is one of the better laundromats in town. Just look at the demographics. Manoa is a very clean, middles class community. While your clothes is in the wash, you can go shopping, eat or whatever. Great Location. Lots of parking.
Other reviewers are complaining about the price to do laundry here, but hey, either limit the amount of time you need to wash your clothes every month or go to the river and do it.
Here are some tips:
1-​Yes, these are machines and they do break down. Before you feed all of you money in the dryer (this not a Vegas slot machine, buddy!), put in 50cents, wait, and if you see a flame in the back and the glass is getting warm, then feed more quarters, otherwise, dis one stay broken brah!
2-​The 4 dryers by the pay phone are the best. You can lift the hood at the top to see the blue flame to see if its working. Plus you have a little counter in front of the machines all to your self for folding clothes.
3-​The attendant is there only in the early morning (530am) til the afternoon. So if you have any problems, there is someone to help. Keep in mind though, he is the grounds keeper too, so you have to hunt him down if you need help. The guy is really cool.
4-​If you wash clothes after 6pm you can park in the back parking lot since everyone who has a reserved parking spot leaves by then.
5-​Lots of older local japanese people wash their clothes here and lots of UH students. Sometimes there are some hot chicks too. ;p
6-**GUYS ONLY: Wash your clothes with Snuggles, throw away your yellow stain underwear or the G-​String with the Elephant front, buy some Calvin Kliens. and you might actually meet some cute girls here… catch my drift? :)

Hey Manoa Laundry, please check your vending machines. You are selling expired products. Sigh…
ps the top dryer when you come in the front door doesn’t close.

It has been a while since I had to utilize a laundromat. Unfortunately, my washer is on the blink and waiting for parts. With the help of other Unilocalers, I headed out to Manoa Laundry, and was surprised to see how nice this place is considering most of the facilities in Honolulu are GHETTO.
This is one of the cleanest and cheapest around town. The machines are well taken cared of and people who frequent here are quite helpful. The prices are very reasonable considering the community it is in. Other Laundromats are like $ 3 for a double load and here it’s only $ 2.25; what a steal! I didn’t even have to wait for a machine. Now that I found this one it will be a keeper.
