Laundry while living in a hotel
I'm living in a hotel while on a 3 month project. And while work will cover the laundry expenses the hotel charges, paying 12 dirham for a pair of socks goes against the core of my being. I also go to the gym every day, so have quite a bit of tshirts and shorts that are disgusting at this point... Can anyone advise if their are places where you can drop off a bag of laundry and have is washed for you? Rather than pay per item like at hotels?

Re: Laundry while living in a hotel
I remember staying at the samsung keoje island hotel in korea for a month and running up a laundry bill of 600GBP
Christ that took some explaining.
Hotlel laundry is a ripp off. Designed to boost margains. The majority are business travellers who will offset the cost against the project etc
