One of the most common questions tourists ask before visiting
Istanbul is: should I use my hotel’s laundry service or find
a local laundry?

The short answer: a local laundry service is almost always
cheaper, faster and more convenient. Here’s the full comparison.

Hotel Laundry in Istanbul – What to Expect

Most hotels in Istanbul offer in-house laundry services.
It sounds convenient — just leave your clothes at reception
and pick them up later. But there’s a catch: the price.

Typical hotel laundry prices in Istanbul:

• T-shirt: 150–300 TL per item
• Shirt: 200–400 TL per item
• Trousers: 250–450 TL per item
• Suit: 800–1500 TL per item

And delivery? Usually 24–48 hours. Sometimes longer.

For a family of four with a week’s worth of clothes,
hotel laundry can easily cost 2,000–5,000 TL or more.

Professional Laundry Service in Istanbul – What to Expect

A professional laundry pickup service like Loti Laundry
works completely differently:

• Pricing is by weight, not by item
• Pickup and delivery are free
• Same day service is available
• Your clothes are washed separately

At Loti Laundry, here’s what you pay:

• Washing & Drying: 250 TL per kg
• Washing, Drying & Ironing: 350 TL per kg
• Folding & Packaging: FREE
• Hotel Pickup & Delivery: FREE

A typical week’s worth of clothes for one person weighs
around 3–4 kg. That’s 750–1,000 TL with Loti Laundry —
compared to 3,000–5,000 TL at a hotel.

Side-by-Side Comparison

Here’s how hotel laundry and Loti Laundry compare:

PRICE
Hotel: 150–400 TL per item
Loti Laundry: 250 TL per kg (entire load)

PICKUP
Hotel: Drop at reception
Loti Laundry: Free pickup from your room or reception

DELIVERY
Hotel: 24–48 hours
Loti Laundry: Same day (before 3:00 PM cutoff)

SEPARATE WASHING

Loti Laundry: Every order washed separately

COMMUNICATION

Loti Laundry: Direct WhatsApp — fast and personal

ENGLISH SUPPORT
Hotel: Varies
Loti Laundry: Always available in English

Real Example: A Family of 4 in Istanbul for 7 Days

Let’s say a family of 4 visits Istanbul for 7 days and
needs to wash clothes twice during their stay.

Hotel laundry estimate:

• 4 people × 5 items × 2 washes × 250 TL average = 10,000 TL

Loti Laundry estimate:

• 4 people × 3 kg × 2 washes × 250 TL per kg = 6,000 TL

That’s a saving of 4,000 TL — enough for a nice dinner
at a rooftop restaurant in Sultanahmet!

When Does Hotel Laundry Make Sense?

To be fair, hotel laundry does have its place:

• For a single delicate item that needs urgent care
• When you have no time to arrange a pickup
• When your hotel offers laundry as part of a package deal

But for regular weekly laundry during a longer stay,
a professional pickup service is almost always the
better choice.
