  Our hotel wanted to charge us $400 to do our laundry, so we went looking for alternatives. Laundry Spa was less than a mile away, and the staff there were friendly and helped us use their machines to do our laundry. It took 28 minutes for the wash ($7) and 40 minutes to dry ($5, or $1 per 8 minutes), and that was for a week's amount of clothes for two people. They also sell detergent and snacks/drinks in a vending machine. The area around South Melbourne was pleasant enough and we were able to walk around and see the Town Hall and other shops with Victorian storefronts and all. (There isn't a ton of seating at the laundromat itself, just a few chairs outside, but the area is full of cafes so it's not hard to find somewhere to hang out; we opted to get lunch at the nearby Gru Thai restaurant which was pretty good.)

  Worst laundry service ever. We are a family of five travelling Australia and dropped off 10 KG of laundry at the Laundry Spa. The question "everything together" should have been a good enough warning, but after a few good experiences elsewhere in the country i decided to let them give it a go, after making sure they would separate white and coloured stuff. When we inspected our supposedly clean laundry we found that we could instantly throw away 50% of the items they washed, 40% needs a rewash and only 10% can be worn without being arrested. How on earth can you make a seriously skid marked shorts look worse than before a washing? People, you better be careful.

  Dropped off 3 pairs of ladies shorts to just be ironed in the morning. Lady said it would be ready in 30 mins, but I said I will come back after work. I get there at 5:45pm and I am told I need to wait 5 mins. I told them I am already in a rush and said I couldn't wait more than 5. It was obvious that they had forgotten about them, which made me annoyed because it meant that they would do a rushed job. After the 5 mins, the guy went to the back of the store and hid from me with the receipt so that I couldn't just leave (since I would have no proof that I dropped things off). After another 10 mins he comes out with my shorts which to be honest, weren't done very well. Once I got home, I realised that the middle pair weren't even done! DO NOT RECOMMEND!

  No idea what their pickup/delivery service is like, but their in-store laundromat is great!

  Great pricing and they deliver on what they promise. Only 4 stars for the way they keep their shop. Could be cleaner, but then again, they are always busy - sign of a good business possibly?
