Love this laundromat. Always clean and well ventilated. All the ceiling fans are always on and working when I’m here doing laundry. Since the new owner took over all the machines are all working. The cost of using machines are reasonably priced. Regular size large dryer is 50 cents for 8 minutes . They have a variety of washing machines to tend to your load capacity and budget. I like the fact that its open 24 hours a day for convenience Lots of parking nearby. I always feel safe here even at 2 am in the morning.

I have been coming to this establishment for about a month and a half. Before I say any more, I have to confess that I havent been to a ton of laundromats. I found this particular one, along with a few others, though google (duh). I made a few stops to take a look inside and see the prices, what the vibe was, check prices, etc. When I came to Manoa Laundry the first time, I was perplexed by the payment system. I assumed youd just put money in the machines. I am also almost 50....enough said. So, the payment situation was a card that you loaded through an ATM like setup, then you use the card at each machine. The cards are reloadable and simple looking. The washers come in several different sizes. I think its 2, 3, 6 amd 10 loads? And the dryers have 2 sizes, i believe. The prices graduate with the sizes. I THINK they start at $4.50 and go to $6.50. The dryers are .50 for 8 minutes. Again, I dont have a good reference point for pricing, however it seemed to me that if you got a good wash and dry, it was fair (considering rent, power, water, maintenance, etc). I made it through my first visit feeling comfortable and knowing I would be doing my laundry here for the foreseeable future. It was clean, bright, the location is great with lots of parking in front. The space has a comfortable layout with seating at the entrance, snack machines, detergent machines, and lots of counter space for clothes folding. The machines seemed to work well and were pretty quick. The shopping center is adorable woth lots of fun little shops,shade, seating, and a CLEAN well stocked public restroom (with a code). There is a rear entrance with 2 loading spots, but all other parking is reserved and strictly enforced when the security is there. Incidentally, the lovely lady that does security is just a bonus to the experience. She is so fun and sassy! And stern so dont act dumb. So, I knew where I was going the following week when it was laundry day. I thought I had things figured out amd walked in knowing I was one rung higher than the newbies. Imagine my surprise when I got to the reloading machine with a smug smirk, ready to show how seamlessly I understood the process, and the familiar screen was not allowing reloads. There was nnew matches next to them, with a note from the owner explaining that they were upgrading, followed by instructions to guide me through the process. There was also a phone number provided in case I had questions or problems, which was handy because I had both. The condensed version of the rest of my experience is that I couldn't figure out how to get my balance switched over from my old card to my new one.So I texted, the owner and immediately got a response back. She said that they had been having a lot of problems with the old system so it had all been replaced. The new system is far less clunky, and is actually quite impressive. But here is the thing that actually blew me away: Because I had been having a bit of a tough time figuring things out (totally my fault), the owner kindly put a credit for a couple of washes on my card. I walked away from that experience feeling so valued, and like my patronage was appreciated. It wasn't until the next time I came in that I saw the sign stating that manoa laundry was under new ownership. This made sense, as each week I noticed little improvements and details that elevated the space. It was already very clean and comfortable, but with each visit, it's a little brighter, a little cleaner, and so incredibly welcoming. The owners are often present.... cleaning, chatting, bringing depth and connection while supplying this community with an essential service. In all seriousness, i was struck with the realization, this place is so special because its a Small Business. In an age of box stores and cattle corral like check out lines, the difference is astonishing. There is life in this building. There is a feeling of care and pride among the patrons. In my opinion, the owners have done this right. Do your laundry here, and support local small business ❤️

It's been like 2 months since I've been there, its not a bad thing just distance. I love the place nice and clean, even the machines seem to be more maintained than the last owners. Even the switch to their card system is good, who carries or likes to get rolls of quarters while everything is going towards cards nowadays. Even they made the switch from the old to the new system it was seamless and instant not sure if the gentleman to whom I was speaking to but he made the transfer of funds instant, 🙏🏻 Thank You sir for the good customers care. Forgot to look if their still 24 hours but hey if they are not, not a big deal who wants to do laundry at 3am 🤷🏻 but if they are open 24 at least you know the marketplace got security and you've got a place to do laundry at 3am 👍🏻🤙🏻✌🏻 oh yeah and on holidays I think all parking stalls are OK to park, if not then mind the reserved signs but still there's kind of plenty stalls available.

⸻ I had a really great experience at this laundromat. The place was clean, well-lit, and everything was well maintained. The machines worked perfectly and there were plenty available, so I didn’t have to wait around. What stood out the most was how comfortable the environment felt—it didn’t feel crowded or stressful like some laundromats can be. The staff (or attendants, if present) were friendly and helpful, which made the whole visit even better. Prices were reasonable, and everything was straightforward and easy to use. I was able to get in and out quickly with all my laundry done without any issues. Definitely one of the better laundromats I’ve been to—I’ll be coming back for sure.

I've been going to Manoa laundry since the early 80's when my girlfriend and I were living next to the UH Manoa campus. I've seen all the changes and I still have been coming. I live in Kaneohe now but I still come here to large loads. All my experiences have been great. People are always friendly and polite to each other. Sometimes there aren't a lot of machines working but we all wait. I've never had a bad incident. Doing laundry there is quiet and peaceful too.
