Having just moved to Krakow, our flat doesn't have a washing machine. I am fast running out of pants now so could really do with finding a Laundrette. I know there is one in Kazimierz but that is the opposite side of the city from me. Does anyone know of somewhere I can do my laundry that is near to the mining college, or at least in that area of the city?
We decided that for the main washes we came down to the one I had heard of. Supposedly there is another one, but we couldn't find it. My towel (it's new and orange, not a good idea to wash with other things) and some small items we hand washed though.
Hand washing is handy enough for underwear and small things I do take that point. But for a full laundry load it's not ideal.
This isn't too long a trip on the tram though so it's all good.

Now just beware that you don't loose one sock in every pair that slips into the alternative dimension through a black hole. Funny to think there is another universe with only one sock from a pair in it...
hand washed
I hate hand washing, socks and small items are alright but jeans or a towels are trouble.

Trams are great, like a slow roller-coaster round the city :0)
the "main " laudrette is in Ulica Dietla , get a tram, and by the way its a cool place to do your laundry, internet,cafe etc...........only one in central krakow i believe
They are really good and it's not too expensive. Proper industrial washing machines. I normally do 2 loads, use the internet and have a few coffees and it only costs about 40zl. It's normally quite quiet, most people are just in and out. I have never had to wait more than 3 minutes to get my laundry in.
[edit: just checked the board, a small load is 12pln, large is 16pln and drying is 1zl per 10 mins, but free for 40 mins if you are a student]
I work in Mazana behind the bar on ul Miodowa. Just round the corner from here, but the internet is well fast in here so it's a bonus. It's a nice bar, quiet though, still relatively new.
Laundromat in Cracow!!! On Wrzesińska street there is Laundromt ,,Frania Cafe", where can you wash and dry your clothes in 1 hour. In this time you can use internet for free and drink delicious coffes. Look on our website www laundromat pl
Useful post, thanks. Does anyone know if there are any other laundromats in Krakow besides the one on Dietla, and the one on Wrzesińska? (both claim to be the first and only)
What about laundry pick-up service, is that available at all? This is where somebody will come to your apartment, take your dirty clothes away, clean them, fold/iron, and return them to you. You are charged by the weight of the clothing. You just hope not to have someone else's underwear returned to you. There are lots of services like this in New York, and it is particularly handy for cleaning things like duvets and other large items that won't fit in your washer at home and are too big to lug to the laundromat.
>>>On Wrzesińska street there is Laundromt ,,Frania Cafe", where can you wash and dry your clothes in 1 hour. This is just off DDietla, opposite the tram stops. I have used this laundromat on many occassions. Excellent service.
Yes, thanks polishgirltx.. Im guessing you don't want to buy a washing machine for your landlord.. the only good news is that the one you mentioned has a bar.. I'm there now, my clothes are spinning and so am I woo hoo
