Vienna - laundromatt
My travel companion is in Vienna and in desperate need to have a load washed. Can anyone recommend a service or laundromatt near city center? (The hotel won't provide this service)

My advice is for her to ask her hotel staff to direct her to one. They are few and far between, I don't remember seeing any on our trips. She could also go to the Vienna Tourist center, behind the State opera house and inquire there.

Operaman-
I wouldn't direct anyone to the Tourist Info. Center in Vienna-I asked the woman (in German) some weeks ago where the American Express office was located (it's a small sign and is located in a building)-she got this snippy attitude and said she had no idea-turns out it was about 100 yards away from the Tourist Office on the main shopping drag Kaertner Strasse-she acted like she couldn't possibly know where that was-I was really ticked off about that.
I'd have the hotel find one for your friend.

Laundromats are very thin on the ground in the city's core. Your friend will have to venture out a bit. The hotel should be able to find one for you...if they can't or won't, pop into an Internet cafe and ask somebody who works there...they're usually students (or student age) and will know where one is.
Or, at worst, have him/her contact the American Women's Club (fawco) in Vienna, they list them in their Living in Vienna book (which isn't available online, alas).

Most in Vienna, have facilities at home or use a laundry service to have laundry done.Not many self wash places.
Several laundry places in the city center- they wash, dry and fold for you.
Gottschalk
Singerstrasse 22
Sofortdienst
Postgasse 15
Plachy Tuchlauben 12
A new one recently opened on Herrengasse very near to the Hofburg-
do not have address
People tell me a self washing place exists at
Seibensterngasse 52
in the 7th district - not far from city center- I do not know anything about it.
Regarding AMEX office and Vienna Tourist office-
I have always found the Tourist Office to provide good information with friendly atmosphere when I have been there with guests.
I have no idea what happened with poster asking about the location of the Amex office.
It has been at the same location for many years , serves thousands and has an easily seen sign.

Molker, the self-service place you referred to is, I believe, Bendix Laundrette? It was at that address. But a Vienna-based colleague says he thinks they've closed.
However, if they are still open, their hours are (or were) 8-6 on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday; 8 to 4, Wednesday; and 8-1 (pm, not am) Friday. Closed week-ends. Their (old) phone number is/was: 523 2553

A quick check for that address has it operating under a new name, hopefully it's still self-service:

Another source is listed below, but some of them cater to commercial clients only:

The next time I am in the area I will have a look for this place on Seibensterngasse- excuse to eat at the restaurant -brewery nearby.
I have also found it much easier to have laundry done at the regular places as mentioned in my prior posting- just drop it off and pick up. To me, a tourist with limited time wastes valuable sightseeing hours watching for his/her laundry to wash and dry.
