Kapaa Laundry Center

I found it very dirty and half of the machines don’t work Pretty expensive and the largest machines are $ 6.75 (ish). I won’t go back.

This place was a little tricky to find at first. Look behind the gas station in that shopping center! It is also called something a little bit different, though it says laundry in big letters so you can’t miss it. There a lot of machines, a coin change machine, and a detergent machine. Easy breezy!

Two different types of Washers, top load and front load. $ 2.75 for top load and $ 3.75 for front load. Go for the $ 3.75. It will wring more water out of your clothes and cost less for dryer. Big Dryers that cost .25¢ for 3 min. I had a full load of mixed colors and put them in the dryer for 18min. Tah Dah! dry in 18 min. It is a basic laundromat and it worked well. Several broken machines, but they’re clearly labeled. Locals were friendly & helpful. FYI It is behind Burger King at 4 – 1105 Kuhio Hwy, regardless of what Waz tell’s you! Right across the parking lot is Verde‘ local Mexican restaurant. It was very good and we walked right over after everything was done!

Good experience. Not cheap but neither is energy on Kauai. Now $ 2.50 to wash a load (down from $ 3 I believe — due to «new management»). Still $.25 per 3 minutes to dry. The dryers will hold two loads of wash. Took me about 25 minutes to dry my load. I did 3 wash loads and 2 dry loads and spent nearly $ 20. Ain’t cheap but got the job done.
Cons:
— Not cheap
— Nowhere to sit
— I wouldn’t recommend the new «high tech» washer that’s in amongst the others. It didn’t spin my blankets well and I had to hand wring them before placing in dryer. This may have been due to the comforter — blanket combo (and thus user error!)
Tip: Took a moment for me to realize they wanted two quarters in each slot for the washer!
Nearby: Burger King, Shell Station, Big Save Supermarket, Ace Hardware, some other small stores in small shopping center … get some errands done while you wait!

Washing machines are very dirty. No person or place to change big bills, so got stuck with $ 10 in quarters. I actually filled the wrong machine with quarters, and even before I pushed start there was no way to cancel it – lost $ 3.50. The washers and dryers look exactly the same, so mistakenly washed my clothes twice. Ended up being about $ 13 to wash since the damn machines aren’t labelled. And $ 5 to dry? really?

Great find and open 24 hours.
Considering we had counted on doing laundry during our trip and our 200+ hotel had one machine for guests with a long line, we headed to the Kapaa laundromat to do three loads at once. Laundry started, then to the nearby Starbucks down the road for a coffee and by the time we had a couple of sips it was time to go back to throw our clothes into the dryer. Washers take about 30 minutes, dryers are $ 0.25 for 3 minutes… expensive but 2 wash loads easily fit in 1 dryer. Glad I didn’t have to stand around waiting to do three loads in one machine back at my hotel!

Located in the big save shopping center directions on Unilocal were not accurate so hopefully that will help some of you in the future). A good number of washers and dryers considering there are only 2 laundromats on the island. Open 24hrs.

Good laundry facility. Clean. Detergent and Fabric Softener vending is available. No bathroom that we could find. Used a dollar to dry a medium load.

Located in Kapaa town, this laundromat was clean and is open ²⁴⁄₇. Rates were a little high, but like most things in Hawaii, this was expected I made the mistake of putting a $ 20 bill into the change machine and carried around quarters for the next few days; bring your quarters or smaller bills to break in the change machine. Facility was clean, and the industrial dryers took only 15 minutes to dry my medium load of clothes

Located in the Kapaa Shopping Center, this is the perfect place to do a load of laundry or two to save yourself the expense of sending it out at your hotel. Hours are posted in the photo w the pink paper.
