Rossmore Maytag Laundromat

Pretty good for a laundromat!
Before moving to Boston, I’ve never actually had to leave my house to do laundry before — so Rossmore was definitely a postive first-​time experience.
They have tons of machines that can accommodate any load of laundry you have. Most of the machines take credit card (which is amazing), but you can also change out your money or break your bills as well. I paid about $ 13 total to wash and dry two loads of laundry. The washing machines can get a little pricey, but the dryer I used ran about $ 0.25 for 6 minutes — so it all balanced out.
What I really liked was how clean it way — while I was there, the attendant went through and swept the floor twice! They don’t leave junk or trash on the folding tables and the floors are relatively garbage free. They also had a tv and wifi so you weren’t bored out of your mind.
Moreover, the location is super convenient! I’m only a block away (so I can walk), but there a front and back parking lot too. The machines also wash your clothes really quickly; I was there for about two hours total.
Will definitely be back.

Here early morning all of the machines work a bunch of dryers where you don’t have to wait for someone who takes up ten dryers.

I don’t go to the laundromat often (I have coin op in my building) but when I fail to do it for a few weeks and it piles up, well it’s just faster to do it here. This one of the cleanest and nicest laundromats I have been in. Out of quarters? Their machines take debit cards! Need detergents? Snacks? There’s vending machines for those. Wanna clean your car while your laundry dries? It’s next door. There is enough room and machines for everyone, even the attendant doing multiple loads.

Clean, well-​maintained and spacious. I tried this laundromat after feeling dissatisfied with another. This will be my new place to go! The best part is that I don’t have to purchase a card or quarters to use the washers and dryers. I can use my debit card, which makes it a whole lot easier. The only drawback is that the some of the large dryers are very deep and you really have to reach far in to collect clothing. Very minor issue.

Plenty of washers and dryers, convenient hours, decent parking, free WiFi and most machines take credit cards. What more can you ask for?

NEVER USE CREDIT CARD here for laundry. The machine charges you $ 14 no matter what the price written on the machine. I hope they fix this system soon.

How does this place have 3 stars? Have you people been to the other shit-​tastic laundromats in JP?
Yes, laundromats are sometimes hectic and have children running around. If you don’t like it, move to Allston or something. Jesus.

I called to ask what time they accept the last load of laundry. I arrived 5 minutes before the time I was told and they were literally locking the door. I would have gone somewhere else no problem if they told me they would be closed! Now I go somewhere else every time.
Unprofessional and unhelpful.

thanks for closing two hours early with my stuff still in the dryer!!!

I usually visit on Saturday mornings with at least 100 lbs. of laundry and I have never had to wait for a machine. There is an ATM and a coin machine and the 75lb washers and dryers take credit cards — a plus because pumping in $ 9 in quarters would be super tedious. The elder gentleman is helpful if not a bit brusque, but I don’t expect 5-​star service at a do-​it-​yourself establishment. Can’t beat the proximity to Doyle’s and the free wifi.

Overall this is a decent laundromat and very convenient as it is only a block from my apt. But after dealing w/​the rude attendant who was working there tonight, I WILL NOT be back. Yes, he was rude enough for me to go out of my way to go elsewhere! I was about 5 mins late (last load must be in by 8:30 as they close at 10), but I only needed to wash, so I would have still been out of there well before the 10pm closing. I tried to rationally explain this to the attendant, but he proceeded to scream at me and he pulled out his phone threatening to call the cops if I put my clothes in the washer! Really?!

As laundromats go, this one is attended, is kept clean, and the machines work.

Love this laundromat, it has wifi, AC, snacks, a coffee machine, lots of tv’s… not to mention A TON of machines. I love their drop-​off service, it is so convenient to be able to just drop off my clothes & come back for them when I am ready to pick up. Everyone who works there has always been super friendly and helpful to me.

As I’ve had the luxury of having in-​building laundry until I moved to JP, I have no previous experience with laundromats. I have, however, read just about every review of every laundromat within two miles of me, because I procrastinated as much as possible on getting my laundry done for the first time since moving. As I imagined, not having in-​building laundry BLOWS, especially having it snow and rain as much as possible on my day off. This wasn’t the closest place to my house, but I figured it’d be worth an extra five minute walk to choose this over a scummier place. The walk through slush and rain sucked, but that’s not your problem.
For the time I spent there, it was better than I expected. There are a TON of machines, ranging from 25lb to 75lb (I can’t imagine washing 75lbs of laundry…)
They have free wifi — but it’s horrendously slow. They should install outlets on the wall — My laptop’s battery is so old lasts half hour tops. Internetting on my iphone the entire time is not as fun. The change machines, ATM, everything works alright and the coffee vending machine actually wasn’t disappointing for vending machine coffee. I could live with that.
I guess their prices aren’t bad — I got 18 lbs washed and dried for $ 5.50 total. Now I need to wait for everything to dry again after walking home in the rain.

I went to this laundromat today, and it was pretty ok for the most part. The amount of machines made it go a little more quickly, as did the variety of sizes of machines. I had a lot of bedding to wash, so I went to the 75lbs machine, and it made short work of the two quilts, multiple fitted and flat sheets, and 5 pillow cases. I was a little sad that I couldn’t try out the 75lbs dryer, especially because I wasn’t crazy about the dyers. They didn’t dry very evenly, I felt.
On the plus side, while my clothes were drying, I drove through the car wash next door, so there’s no more salt on my car (for today). And I like that they have a parking lot.

I’m not really clear why some folks are down on this laundromat.
I live nearby and exclusively use this laundromat because it doesn’t suck. My quarters have never been eaten by any machine. If there is a machine that isn’t working, it is usually clearly posted.
I go here with relative frequency and while there are sometimes kids, they’ve never really been out-​of-​control. I mean, if you were a small child and dragged to a laundromat, wouldn’t you be bored out of your mind and running around, too?
Overall, I’m super pleased with this place. It’s clean, the machines are well-​maintained, I’ve never been there when there have been no machines available/I’ve always had available machines, there is a bathroom, there is a bar across the street, a restaurant nearby, and plentiful, free parking. And you get to do your laundry. Suck it up.

It’s huge. Lots of driers (that actually work!), and those giant washing machines you can shove 6 loads worth into all at once. The change-​making machines have never stolen my bills. The place is staffed, so someone is actually cleaning up the spilled detergent and drier-​lint tumbleweeds, or breaking a 20 for you if you don’t want to have a spare 10 dollars in quarters. Yes, it’s loud and busy and there are kids everywhere; it’s a laundromat in a city, so all that goes without saying. Sadly, the last load curfew is at like 7pm, so it’s not really available for after-​work laundering.

Going to the laundromat sucks, that’s a fact. This laundromat is semi-​ok within that mandatory suckiness. The prices aren’t great, but aren’t horrifying either. I never figured out the exact formula, but you have to hit this place at the right day and time, or else you’ll end up with an army of children screaming and trying to be your new best friend. Their parents are over at the other end of the building on their cell phones or outside smoking. Or maybe over at the Drinking Fountain playing Keno. I can’t believe more kids aren’t abducted from here. Maybe they are and just aren’t reported, who knows.
The good thing is that the place is large and you never have to wait for a dryer. There’s also Wi-​Fi, but you probably don’t want to bring your laptop to this unstaffed day care center.

This place is kind of sad. It’s like taking a sociology course in the time it takes to do your laundry.
Questions of economics, politics of child rearing, and young violence await you at the laundromat. Last time, ten kids were all playing with some balls. Then one little girl hit this boy. Then he got this other boy to steal the little girl’s beverage. Then he fed it to everyone else but the little girl. She had practically dumped it all over her little yellow outfit, anyway. And peed on herself too. It was interesting to watch something so candid and strange unravel in front of me.
Good thing the TV played Extreme Makeover: Home Edition. Even more depression, economic hardship, but with a light at the end of the tunnel. If it takes a village to raise a child, it takes a city to raise your child and do your laundry at the same time.
They have big washers which I find really convenient and fast, especially if you have a big load. I guess the price is OK too. If you wanted to drop off your laundry, they have that service available as well.
And the Drinking Fountain is right across the street. One word: KENO!
After the whole children debacle, I came here on a fresh Saturday morning. The place was relatively empty, and there was peace and harmony with the dryers humming and the washers whooshing me into a far off place in my mind. Ah, coffee and serenity. Laundry never felt so good.
