Laundry Service in Copenhagen

We will be staying at the Marriott for a few days.



2 adults and 2 kids.



Are there any laundry services to do self-laundry that we can do during our stay?



The hotel laundry service is OUTRAGEOUSLY EXPENSIVE.





Thanks for all your help!

Copenhagen is plastered with self-laundry-services. I can%26#39;t tell you specifically where the nearest one to your hotel is located, but take a a walk in the neighbourhood and I am sure you will find one.

There are a lot of %26quot;møntvask%26quot; (coin-wash) in Copenhagen, but not so many directly in the area around the Marriott. Most coin-wash places are--as you might expect--nearer areas dominated by older, small apartments, such as Vesterbro and Nørrebro.





I searched Krak.dk and Eniro.dk for %26quot;møntvaskerier%26quot; near post code 1560 (the code for the area are Marriott hotel), with closest results out in Vesterbro; however, that%26#39;s a long walk with laundry. There might be clothes washing machines at DGI Byen (near Central Stn.) or Danhostel City; otherwise, maybe (unlisted places) around the Halmtorvet area? I think your best bet is to google DGI Byen and Danhostel City and then email them to ask if you could use their laundry facilities.

The closest laundromat to Marriott seems to be:



Ny-Vask



Njalsgade 55



2300 Copenhagen S





That%26#39;s bout 1.5 km from Marriott.

A tip for N. American travellers to Europe who plan to do laundry: Purchase some laundry powder once arrived, or bring some %26quot;HE%26quot; (high efficiency, low-sudsing) laundry powder from home. Using regular Tide or other %26quot;normal%26quot; detergents from N. America (designed for top-load washers) will likely over-suds the front load washers with soapy foam, could overflow them, and likely won%26#39;t rinse well. You can get a small box of Ariel or Omo at Netto for about 20-25 Dkr. Bring some dryer sheets, too.

Thanks so much, everyone, for the help.
