^^ LAUNDROMAT / LAUNDRY by KG in Al Sadd?? ^^

G'day all,

We are new to this country and our company has placed us in a hotel (in Al Sadd) without a washing machine. We went to the laundry across the road and they want to charge our washing on "PER PIECE" basis, even our underwear!!! This is absurd!

Can anyone please advise if there are any laundromat or laundry service (preferably in Al Sadd or nearby) that charge by "KILOGRAM" (like the rest of the world) and NOT per piece?

Thank you

Cheers,
Don

Welcome to middle east. In all GCC countries the rule ((if any!!)for laundry is the same. 1-3 QR per piece. Most of the hotels have this rip off scheme wherein they dont provide you with washing machine and expect the undies to be washed by them (MovenPick was 8QR - 10QR / undie). Just move with the flow :-(

@flano - matey, at QR2.5 per undies? My Rio's would have been fully spoilt! LOL

@baloch - yep, you get charged a flat rate by kilogram irrespective of how many pieces (of undies) you have. It's a great system.

Cheers,

Don

Charged per piece? What a rip off! No wonder Qatar is years behind the rest of the world. Even countries in Sth America, Nth America, Oceania, Asia, etc charge by kilograms...

Oh well, guess I better start doing some hand washing then...

Cheers,
