Laundromat near Vive Hotel

Question

Is there a laundromat near Vive Hotel in Waikiki? Would like the option to walk and do laundry if needed for the week I'll be there. I looked on Google Maps but it does not show any within Waikiki but sometimes it doesn't show stores with no online presence so thought I'd ask here.

Answer

Yes — there *are* a couple of laundromat options reasonably close to Vive Hotel in Waikiki, though not super “right next door.” Based on local-knowledge and traveler reports, here are some good spots plus tips.

Ena Road Laundry
- Address: 478 Ena Road, Ste A, Honolulu, HI 96815.
- Phone: (808) 942-3451.
- This is a well-established laundromat in Waikiki with self-service washers & dryers and wash-and-fold options.
- According to its listing, hours are roughly 7:00 AM–5:00 PM on weekdays, with slightly different weekend hours.
iDo Laundry
- Address: 1922 Kalākaua Avenue, Honolulu, HI 96815.
- Phone: (808) 923-2057.
- This location is open 24 hours, so handy if you want to do laundry outside of “business hours.”
- Payment: Coin-op as well as other payment methods; note that some machines may require quarters, and there is a change machine.

Things to consider / user-reported notes:

On Tripadvisor, some travelers mentioned Ena Road Laundry as a go-to, saying they use the “fluff and fold” service rather than doing it themselves.
Also from forum posts: one user said there “used to be a laundromat more central on Kuhio Avenue … but can’t find it now” — so Google Maps may not show *every* small or older laundry shop in the area.
Because Vive Hotel is on Kūhiō Avenue, these laundromats are walkable, though you’ll want to factor in carrying your laundry.

My recommendation: If you don’t mind a bit of walking with laundry, Ena Road Laundry is very serviceable and has good local reputation. If you prefer flexibility or need to do laundry late (or early), iDo Laundry on Kalākaua is probably your best bet, since it's open 24/7.
