Laundry near the Hollywood Hills: the spots locals actually use

When the hamper tips over in Beachwood Canyon at 7 am or your dryer gives up on a Sunday night above Franklin Avenue, you want a place that is open, close, and priced like a real Los Angeles laundromat. Around the Hollywood Hills, I rotate between a few specific shops for different needs: a quick self-serve load before work, a per‑pound drop‑off when the week gets away from me, and an oversized machine for comforters that won’t fit in an apartment stacker. The details below are current for Los Angeles and specific to the neighborhoods that touch the Hills, from Hollywood and Los Feliz to West Hollywood.

If you just need a dependable self‑serve room with late hours, the stretch from Sunset Boulevard to Fountain Avenue is your friend. If you want someone else to do it, several nearby counters post their wash‑and‑fold price per pound right up front. Expect to see published rates in the $1.75–$2.45 per lb range for drop‑off in this part of the city, with specific minimums and turnaround windows spelled out by each shop.

Which Hollywood-area laundromats are easiest from the Hills?

For anyone coming down from the northern slope, convenience means a short, predictable drive and straightforward hours. On the Hollywood side, Laundry Pop at 5609 W Sunset Blvd Ste A runs self‑serve daily 6 am–10 pm with last wash at 8:30 pm, and they post in‑store wash & fold at $1.85/lb with a 20 lb minimum. In West Hollywood, Laundry Room on Fountain at 7968 Fountain Ave keeps self‑serve open from 5 am–12 am, which covers both early‑birds and late re‑shoot nights, and their fluff & fold is a plain $2.00/lb with a $40 minimum. If you stick to Vine, Melrose Place Laundromat at 722 Vine St posts a simple drop‑off rate of $2.00/lb and self‑serve washers starting at $3.50 for a small machine, with dryers at $0.25 per 6 minutes.

For folks on the east side of the Hills, Los Feliz Laundry at 1802 1/2 Hillhurst Ave lists next‑day wash & fold at $2.15/lb with a $20 minimum, and their self‑serve runs to 10 pm with last wash at 8:30 pm. East Hollywood’s Laundry Room LA at 820 N Western Ave has clear per‑machine pricing, including a legitimate 80 lb washer for bulky items at $10.50, and cash‑priced drop‑off wash & fold at $1.75/lb with a $20 minimum. If you’re hugging Sunset west of Laurel Canyon, The Hollywood Laundry at 7359 Sunset Blvd runs seven days a week 8 am–10 pm, with top‑load washers at $3.75, a 60‑lb front‑loader at $8.75, and regular wash & fold at $2.45/lb for 8–24 hour turnaround.

How much does wash and fold cost around Hollywood, Los Feliz, and West Hollywood?

For a standard bag of everyday clothing, this area of Los Angeles sits in a pretty tight band. East Hollywood’s Laundry Room LA posts $1.75/lb with a $20 minimum, which is one of the lower published rates near the Hills if you can pay cash at the counter. Los Feliz Laundry prices next‑day at $2.15/lb and same‑day at $2.75/lb, with a $20 minimum. Melrose Place Laundromat’s drop‑off is $2.00/lb, or $2.99/lb if you want them to handle pickup and delivery.

On the Hollywood side, The Hollywood Laundry lands at $2.45/lb for a standard 8–24 hour return or $2.95/lb for a 4–6 hour express. Laundry Room on Fountain holds a steady $2.00/lb with a $40 minimum and notes free pickup and drop‑off within West Hollywood, which is useful if you are parked on a narrow permit block above Sunset. Laundry Pop separates its offerings: in‑store wash & fold at $1.85/lb with a 20 lb minimum, and a pickup‑and‑delivery program that posts $2.29/lb plus small pickup and delivery fees, for those days when getting off the hill is the problem.

Bulky items are priced per piece at many counters. For example, The Hollywood Laundry lists a twin comforter at $25 and a California king at $45, while Laundry Pop’s published bulky menu sets common items like comforters or sleeping bags at $18 each and blankets at $12. If your bag is mostly towels, sheets, and gym gear, per‑pound service often beats the time and detergent cost of doing it yourself, especially if you would otherwise feed a dryer for 30–40 minutes at $0.25 per 6–7 minutes of heat.

Late night or early morning: who is really open when you are?

If you need a pre‑work wash before an 8 am call, Laundry Pop’s 6 am open and Melrose Place Laundromat’s 6–6:30 am starts are workable without sitting through rush hour on the 101. West Hollywood’s Laundry Room on Fountain wins the odd‑hour category with self‑serve from 5 am until midnight, and they specify that last self‑serve loads should be started by 11 pm. On the east side, Laundry Room LA and Los Feliz Laundry both run to 10 pm, with last‑wash cutoffs at 8:30 pm at Los Feliz and clearly posted closing at 10 pm at Laundry Room LA.

The critical detail at night is the last‑wash policy. The Hollywood Laundry says last wash is 8 pm even though the doors are open until 10 pm, so you can still finish drying after that. Laundry Pop lists last wash at 8:30 pm, which gives you a bit more wiggle room for a late load. If you are hauling in bedding, arrive earlier. Larger front‑loaders can take 35–40 minutes to complete a cycle before you even start drying, and many shops set last‑dry or pickup cutoffs, such as Laundry Pop’s note that wash‑and‑fold pickups end by 9:00 pm.

Big comforter day or a week of gym towels: which machines make it painless?

For oversized items, you need either capacity or smart pricing. Laundry Room LA publishes a full machine list right on its page, from a three‑unit bank of top loaders at $4.50 up to a set of 80 lb washers at $10.50. That 80‑pounder is the difference between cramming a duvet and watching it “taco” or getting a real circulation wash. Dryers there run at $0.25 per 7 minutes on 55‑lb drums, which maps to a typical 28–35 minute dry for a normal load if you pack sensibly.

Melrose Place Laundromat’s self‑serve pricing is straightforward: small washers at $3.50, common midsize at $4.50–$5.50, and big eight‑load machines at $11.00. Dryers are an easy mental math at $0.25 per 6 minutes. Los Feliz Laundry’s washer tiers track the neighborhood average, from $4.50 for a 20‑lb up to $8.75 for a 60‑lb, and they give you a generous 28 minutes for $1 of drying time. If you are folding at a friend’s place off Franklin Village and want to keep it under an hour, a 40‑lb machine and a medium dryer cycle is usually the sweet spot.

On the Sunset corridor, The Hollywood Laundry clearly posts its front‑loader sizes and prices: 25 lb at $4.75, 50 lb at $7.75, and 60 lb at $8.75. That 60‑pounder is helpful for king comforters or a big stack of towels. Laundry Pop does not list per‑machine vend prices online, but they note 120+ machines, quarters plus a card app, and a last wash of 8:30 pm, which is why I use it when I want a sure bet on a busy weeknight. In West Hollywood, Laundry Room on Fountain focuses its public pricing on the $2.00/lb counter service but keeps self‑serve hours for those who prefer to run multiple machines at once.

Is pickup and delivery worth it from the Hills?

If getting off the hillside is the bottleneck, look at small delivery fees and minimums. Laundry Pop’s pickup‑and‑delivery tier is $2.29/lb with a $40 minimum and separate $4.99 fees to pick up and to deliver. That pencils out well if you routinely send 20–25 lb or more. In West Hollywood, Laundry Room on Fountain quotes free pickup and drop‑off within city limits at $2.00/lb and a $40 minimum, which is efficient if you split two weeks of laundry into a single bag. Melrose Place Laundromat’s scheduled pickup runs $2.99/lb, the convenience tier you choose when the day is packed and you want the price to include the driving and parking.

Turnaround timing is the other lever. The Hollywood Laundry’s express clock is posted at 4–6 hours for $2.95/lb, which solves the same‑day problem if you have a shoot, a flight, or a guest check‑in. Los Feliz Laundry signals standard next‑day at $2.15/lb and same‑day at $2.75/lb with a $20 minimum; that split lines up with traffic reality on Hillhurst where you might prefer to drop before lunch and pick up the following afternoon. For straight self‑serve value, keep an eye on dryer time: $0.25 per 6–7 minutes is the area norm, so budget roughly $1.00 for most everyday loads and a bit more for heavy cotton.

Key things to know before you load the car

• Late hours are not the same as last wash. Example: The Hollywood Laundry stays open to 10 pm but last wash is 8 pm; Laundry Pop runs to 10 pm with last wash at 8:30 pm; Los Feliz Laundry posts last wash at 8:30 pm.
• Per‑pound drop‑off varies by a narrow band locally. You will mostly see $1.75–$2.45/lb, with minimums like $20 or $40. East Hollywood tends lower via $1.75/lb at Laundry Room LA; Sunset and West Hollywood skew closer to $2.00–$2.45/lb.
• Bulk items are per‑piece. Comforters commonly run $18–$45 depending on size and the shop’s chart. If you only have bedding, compare per‑piece menus instead of per‑pound rates.
• Card apps can cut friction. Laundry Room LA accepts the Speed Queen app alongside coins; Los Feliz Laundry uses the Laundry Boss app; Laundry Pop accepts quarters and a store app. If you hate hunting quarters, pick the app shop.
• Parking sanity check. Vine Street and Hillhurst Avenue get busy on weekends and evenings. If you want a lot, Laundry Pop notes a large parking lot off Sunset, which can save you 5–10 minutes of circling when everyone is out for dinner.

Who has the cheapest posted wash & fold near the Hills?

Which shop should I pick for a king comforter?

Pick by capacity or by the per‑piece menu. Laundry Room LA publishes up to 80 lb washers at $10.50, which can handle heavy bedding in one pass. On the per‑piece side, Laundry Pop’s bulky menu shows comforters at $18 and The Hollywood Laundry lists kings at $40–$45.

If you only narrow to one rule, choose by the constraint you actually have this week. Need speed without leaving the house? Pay the per‑pound pickup. Need cheap and quick? Hit an early‑open shop with medium front‑loaders and a posted last‑wash time you can make.
