The washing machine in my apartment is broken until next week but I need to do laundry today. I would prefer to find a coin-laundry place rather than a dry cleaner. Does anyone know of a place around central Seoul?

They are all over the place by any residential area. However, even with that said, if you are going to go that route, it might be cheaper just to have almost everything drycleaned as you can find places that will dryclean for super cheap.

They are everywhere, I would offer more help, but what is central Seoul? even from one end of a gu to another is pretty far if you were to be carrying a bag of dirty clothes....

Go to google maps korea, naver maps, or daum maps. Type 빨래방. Navigate to the closest location in the real world. IF it says 24hrs or coin.....then it is certainly a western style laundromat. IT could end up being a dry cleaner with some machine for rent, which is also cool.

Just look for 크린토피아 멀티숍 (cleantopia-multishop) Don't get confused with "cleantopia" that isn't coin-op.
