[FYI, the "Old Hotel" referenced is the Howard, all others reference the Grand Hyatt]

Found a great no-brainer, 24 hour, self-service laundromat just a few blocks from the Grand Hyatt. Directions: Exit through the main exit and turn left. Cross the busy 2 lane facing the Hi-Life and turn right on Jilong rd. Go north to the T junction then turn left on Ren'Ai rd. Go 3 blocks west. Turn left on 452 (at Jenny Max New York) and then go south for 2 blocks. 24H laundry is on the left…corner of 417 and 452. Look here for a short cut. 松壽路 to 24 hr laundry - Google Maps The Washing machine costs 50 Taiwanese dollars for the smallest, 70 for medium and 100 TD for the largest and takes 30 minutes. The dryer costs 10 TD for each 6 mins. Dryer took 30 minutes to dry mine. Detergent costs 10 TD. Bring your own coins as the change machine wasn't working. This was super easy. English instructions are written on the machines to aid the domestically challenged. While waiting the 30 minutes for the dryer, there is a “Fresh Brunch” cafe across the street and one block left that has an English brunch menu and serves coffee and tea. 6/4/12

[NEAR OLD HOTEL, CAB RIDE REQUIRED FROM CURRENT] *Chinese Laundry You wouldn't think it would be so hard to find a Chinese Laundry in TPE. But, it is when you can't read Chinese characters on the signs. Well , I did find one only two blocks from the Howard Plaza Hotel. Here are the details.

Exit hotel main entrance(Taxi Stand)
Turn right to corner of Ren Ai Rd and Fushing Rd (Fushing Rd has
the elevated tram running down the middle of the street)

Turn right onto Fushing Rd
Go 1 Block
Turn left onto Tung Feng St
Go 1 Block
Laundry is across street from the 7-11 store and has the phone
number of 7064165 on a sign above the door.

Hours - Mon - Sat 0830 - 2200 Cost - $150 NT per load, cleaned and dried. They dry clean everything.

This is less than the cost of one shirt done by the hotel.
Ironing is extra.
Drop off laundry before 0900 and pick up same day after 1500.
