Laundry in Hoi An: Prices, 7 Verified Shops & How It Works (2026)

Local guide · August 2026

Laundry is one of the easiest problems to solve in Hoi An — a kilo of wash-and-fold costs about the price of a coffee, and there is a laundry within walking distance of almost every hotel. What actually needs explaining is the pricing tiers, the same-day cut-off times, and which shops travellers consistently rate well. We checked every address in this guide on the map in August 2026, with review counts to back them up.

№ 01Laundry prices in Hoi An, 2026

Prices are quoted per kilogram, weighed at the shop when you drop off. These are the typical brackets across town as of mid-2026:

• Minimum load: most shops set a 1–4kg minimum, or charge a flat higher rate for tiny loads. Batching three or four days of clothes is the cheap way.
• What a week weighs: a full week of clothes for one person is typically 3–5kg — so a whole week of laundry runs roughly 100,000–200,000 VND ($4–8).
• Payment: cash on collection is the norm. Some chains take bank transfer; cards are rare.

Every address, closing time and rating below was checked directly on Google Maps in August 2026. We list review counts because a 4,9 across hundreds of reviews means far more than a perfect score across ten.

№ 03How it works, step by step

1. Bring your clothes in any bagNo sorting needed. The shop weighs the whole bag on a hanging scale in front of you — watch the number, that is what you pay for.
2. Agree service and timeSay “standard” or “same day” and confirm when it will be ready. Get the price per kg before you leave — every legitimate shop states it happily.
3. Take the receipt or a photoMost shops hand you a small paper slip; if not, photograph your bag on the scale. This solves 99% of mix-up disputes.
4. Collect and pay cashClothes come back washed, dried, folded and bagged, usually smelling of the same detergent every laundry in Vietnam seems to share.
5. Count your socks before you leaveGenuinely. Items lost across a laundry’s day mostly turn up in someone else’s bag — five seconds of checking at the counter beats a return trip.

№ 04Same-day and express: the cut-off times

The single most common laundry mistake in Hoi An: dropping a bag at 14:00 and expecting it back that evening. Same-day has a morning cut-off, usually around 10:00, because everything is line-dried or machine-cycled in batches through the middle of the day.

• Before ~10:00 — same-day is realistic at most full-service shops for ~60,000 VND/kg. Confirm the pickup hour out loud.
• 10:00–14:00 — you are in express territory (75,000–120,000 VND/kg) and not every shop will take it. The Bestie branches and Mrs Anh are your best bets.
• After 15:00 and you fly tomorrow morning — skip full service entirely and use Wash&Dry 247: a self-service cycle takes about 90 minutes to two hours and the place never closes.
• Checkout-day rule — hand laundry in the evening before, not the morning of. A delayed bag with your passport-day timing is not a gamble worth 30,000 VND.

№ 05Hotel laundry vs street laundry

The honest rule: at a homestay, just ask reception first — most send laundry to exactly the shops in this guide and add little or nothing on top. At a resort, check the per-item price list before handing anything over; a single resort-priced shirt can cost more than a street kilo.

№ 06The rainy-season problem nobody warns you about

From roughly October to December, Hoi An is wet — and much of the town’s laundry is still line-dried. That changes the maths in two ways.

First, next-day sometimes quietly becomes two-day, because nothing dries in 90% humidity. Shops with proper dryers (the bigger chains, the self-service machines) keep their promises better in these months than tiny line-dry operations. Second, that distinctive damp smell on returned clothes in November is not poor washing — it is clothes that never fully dried. If your clothes come back even slightly damp in rainy season, hang them under a fan overnight before packing them, or they will ferment in your backpack.

Rainy-season pick: self-service machines or the bigger chains, and allow one buffer day before any flight. If you are curious what those months are otherwise like, see our guide to the Hoi An lantern nights in 2026 — October to December has some of the most atmospheric ones.

№ 07Vietnamese phrases that help

In practice, every laundry in this guide handles the whole exchange with pointing, a scale and a calculator — but “mấy giờ xong?” is the one phrase that genuinely prevents problems.

№ 08Local tips

• Separate anything you care about. Everything goes in one machine at one temperature. That new red T-shirt from the night market will bleed — wash it separately or accept pink socks.
• Tailor-made clothes need a different conversation. If you have had clothes made in Hoi An, do not drop them into a by-the-kilo wash. Say “giặt nhẹ” (gentle) and expect per-item pricing — or ask your tailor how to wash the fabric at all.
• Empty every pocket. Banknotes survive the wash surprisingly well; boarding passes and SIM ejector pins do not.
• Photograph special items at drop-off. One frame of your hiking jacket on the counter ends any later discussion instantly.
• Swimwear dries faster in your bathroom. Sending two swimsuits to a laundry wastes a day; hotel hangers do it overnight.
• Batch across days. The per-kg price drops meaningfully once you cross the minimum — one 4kg drop beats four 1kg drops on both price and hassle.

How much does laundry cost in Hoi An?

Standard wash, dry and fold costs about 30,000 to 40,000 VND per kilogram, roughly 1.5 US dollars, returned the next day. Same-day service runs around 60,000 VND per kg if you drop off before about 10:00, and express service in 3 to 5 hours costs 75,000 to 120,000 VND per kg. A full week of clothes for one person is usually 3 to 5 kg.

Where is the best laundry in Hoi An?

The highest-rated full-service laundries verified in August 2026 are Hoi An Laundry Mrs Anh at 129/11 Tran Hung Dao with 4.9 from 461 reviews, and Laundry Hoi An and More Mrs Sa at 142 Ngo Quyen with 4.9 from 513 reviews. The Bestie Laundry chain has three branches around the west side of town, all rated 4.8 to 5.0.

Is there a self-service laundromat in Hoi An?

Yes. Wash and Dry 247 at 97 Nguyen Phuc Tan is a self-service machine laundromat open 24 hours a day, near the walking-street area. A cycle takes roughly 90 minutes to two hours. It is the only laundry option in town after 22:00.

Can I get same-day laundry in Hoi An?

Yes, if you drop your clothes off before about 10:00 in the morning. Same-day costs around 60,000 VND per kg and is usually ready in the evening. After the morning cut-off you need express service at 75,000 to 120,000 VND per kg, which not every shop offers.

Should I use hotel laundry or a street laundry in Hoi An?

At homestays, ask reception first — most send laundry to the same local shops at little or no markup. At resorts, check the per-item price list before handing anything over, because resort laundry is priced per garment and can cost several times the street rate of 30,000 to 40,000 VND per kg.

Is laundry in Hoi An safe for nice clothes?

By-the-kilo washing puts everything in one machine at one temperature, so wash new or brightly dyed items separately and point out delicates with the phrase giat nhe, meaning gentle wash. For tailor-made clothes from Hoi An, ask for per-item gentle washing rather than the standard kilo service.

How long does laundry take in Hoi An during rainy season?

From October to December, high humidity means next-day service sometimes quietly becomes two-day, especially at small line-dry operations. Larger chains and self-service machines with proper dryers are more reliable in those months. Allow one buffer day before any flight.

Updated August 2026. All shop addresses, closing times and ratings were checked directly on Google Maps on 10 August 2026 — these change over time, so confirm hours if you are cutting it close to a flight. Prices are typical market rates rather than fixed tariffs and individual shops set their own. The laundries listed are independent businesses; Anh Khoa has no commercial relationship with any of them and no longer operates its own laundry service.
