Laundry in Hoi An: Prices per Kg & How It Works (2026)

Hoi An laundry is cheap, fast and everywhere: expect around 30,000–40,000 VND per kg (~$1.5) for standard next-day wash & fold, roughly 60,000 VND/kg for same-day, and 75,000+ VND/kg if you need it back within a few hours. Most shops have a 1–4 kg minimum, and nearly every homestay and hotel will happily arrange it for you — often at the same street price.

A quick honest note: we at Anh Khoa now focus entirely on motorbike rental and no longer run our own laundry service. This guide stays online because thousands of travelers land here every month — so here is everything you need to get laundry in Hoi An done right, updated for 2026.

How much does Hoi An laundry cost? (2026 prices)

• Standard (next day): 30,000–40,000 VND/kg — wash, dry, fold
• Same-day (drop off before ~10 AM): around 60,000 VND/kg
• Express (3–5 hours): 75,000–120,000 VND/kg
• Small loads: under 3–4 kg usually costs a flat higher rate per kg — batching a few days of clothes is cheaper

At those prices, a full week of clothes for two people rarely tops 150,000 VND (~$6) — less than a single hotel-menu shirt costs back home.

Same-day or next-day — which should you pick?

Next-day is the sweet spot: half the price and zero stress if you plan one day ahead. Save same-day for real emergencies — a beach-soaked backpack or a bus to catch tomorrow morning. If you are leaving Hoi An within 24 hours, hand your bag over before 10 AM, say “giặt nhanh”, and confirm the pickup time twice — shops close around 9 PM.

How it works

1. Drop your bag at any shop with a “Giặt ủi / Laundry” sign — they weigh it in front of you.
2. You get a slip (or they just remember you — it is Hoi An); pickup is usually after 5 PM next day.
3. Pay cash on pickup. Clothes come back washed, dried, folded and bagged.

Where to find laundry in Hoi An

You will pass several shops on Hai Ba Trung, Tran Hung Dao and the streets around the Old Town — look for the sign “Giặt sấy”. The simplest option of all: ask your homestay — most collect in the morning and return the same evening for the same 30–40k/kg.

Good to know

• Count your items before handing over a big load — mix-ups are rare but easier to fix with a number.
• Delicates & activewear: say “không sấy” (no tumble dry) for anything fragile.
• Rainy season (Oct–Dec): drying takes longer everywhere — allow an extra half-day.
• Hotel laundry menus charge per item and cost 3–5× more than street shops.

Useful Vietnamese phrases at the laundry shop

• Giặt ủi — wash & iron (the word on every sign)
• Không sấy — no tumble dry, please
• Mấy giờ xong? — what time will it be ready?
• Giặt nhanh — express wash

Point at your bag, smile, and any one of these four gets the job done.
