Self service laundrette around Zhongshan park metro

Hi.

Are there any laundry places nearby? Apparently there is one in the longemont on Changning Road but I can’t find any information on it, especially if it’s self service or a service they do.

Many thanks.

If you are looking for self-service laundrettes around the Zhongshan Park metro area in Shanghai, there are a few options, though the area is more commonly served by full-service laundries and hotel laundry services.

The Longemont on Changning Road you mentioned primarily offers full-service laundry rather than self-service machines. Most hotels and commercial laundry shops in this area accept drop-off laundry and handle washing, drying, and ironing for you, so self-service options are limited.

Here are some practical options you can consider:

  • Drop-off laundries: There are multiple small neighborhood laundries around Zhongshan Park that offer fast service, often within the same day. Prices vary depending on weight and type of clothing.
  • Laundromats in larger residential complexes: Some apartment buildings or serviced apartments in the area have coin-operated washing machines, but access is usually restricted to residents.
  • Mobile app-based laundry services: Apps like “Xianyu Laundry” or “Dada Laundry” allow you to schedule pick-up and delivery of your clothes. They are convenient if you don’t mind not washing your clothes yourself.

Additional tips:

  • If you specifically need self-service washing machines, you may need to venture a little outside the immediate Zhongshan Park area, possibly towards Changning district side streets.
  • Check Google Maps or Baidu Maps using keywords like “自助洗衣” (self-service laundry) to locate smaller laundromats nearby. Many of these are coin-operated and cashless via WeChat or Alipay.
  • Always check opening hours; smaller laundromats often close by 9–10 PM.

In summary, full-service laundries are much more common in this area than self-service options. If self-service is essential, using map apps to locate dedicated coin-operated laundromats slightly outside the main Zhongshan Park commercial area is your best bet.
