Wash dry and fold laundry near Pacific Place
We are returning to Hong Kong after many years and staying in an area we do not know well! The wash-dry-fold idea seems to be available only at exorbitant prices ($40/pound) with 4 day turnaround in one place we saw advertised on the net and another nearby takes only by piece. Does anyone know of a nearby place with reasonable prices and turnaround? Thanks so much!
Hong Kong’s Central and Admiralty area, including around Pacific Place, has several laundry and dry-cleaning services, but prices can vary widely. Wash-dry-fold services at $40/pound are indeed on the high end. There are alternatives that offer more reasonable rates and quicker turnaround if you look slightly off the main shopping streets.
Here are some practical options near Pacific Place:
- Laundry Express – located a short walk from Pacific Place in Admiralty. Offers wash-dry-fold per kilogram, with a typical turnaround of 24–48 hours. Prices are generally lower than $40/pound; expect around HKD 25–30 per kg.
- Mr. Clean Laundry – in the nearby Central area. They accept per-piece and per-kg service, usually 1–2 days turnaround. Rates are reasonable, and they sometimes offer express same-day service if you drop off early.
- Central Dry Cleaners & Laundry – just north of Pacific Place. Offers flexible options including wash-dry-fold, ironing, and dry cleaning, with 24–48 hours turnaround. Prices vary but are lower than the premium options advertised online.
Tips to save time and money:
- Ask if the service charges by kilogram rather than pound; pricing per kg is usually cheaper.
- Check if they have express options—dropping off early in the morning may allow same-day return.
- Consider using a hotel concierge service, as some hotels have partnerships with local laundries offering slightly discounted rates.
In summary, while the high-priced online listings exist, walking a few blocks off Pacific Place or checking smaller local laundries can provide more reasonable pricing and quicker turnaround for wash-dry-fold service in Hong Kong.
