FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
You message us, a driver collects, and the clothes return cleaned. At Mercure Abu Dhabi Downtown the bag can go through reception, so nobody has to wait in a room, and the order comes back to the same desk or straight to the entrance.
- Give your name and room number on the note
- The driver collects within the hour
- Returns arrive at the desk or entrance
Open WhatsApp and type your name, room and a rough list of items. The line is run by Laundrykhalas, an independent service that guests of the hotel book directly.
- Mention the hotel: Mercure Abu Dhabi Downtown
- A list like six shirts and a 6kg bag is enough
- You see the price before pickup
Same day, when the suit is with us by noon. It is back on a hanger that evening, by 11 pm. A later hand-over means a next-day return.
- Two-piece AED 50, three-piece AED 60
- Pressing alone: jacket AED 25
- Tell us when you leave for the airport
A bag of washing has one price. Dry cleaning is priced garment by garment, and that holds across the city, including the streets around Al Mariah Mall.
- Extra kilos: AED 12 each
- Trousers AED 18, blazer AED 40, 12kg bag AED 99
- Free pickup from AED 30
Only dry cleaning is counted garment by garment; washing goes on the scale. A family bag from Mercure Abu Dhabi Downtown is therefore a single price, shown in the chat before the bag leaves the building.
- 6kg wash & fold: AED 60
- Shirt, dry cleaned: AED 15
- Shirt pressed only: AED 9
Guests pay the same list as everyone in Abu Dhabi. There is no hotel mark-up, because we are not part of the hotel. Prices appear in the chat before collection.
- Evening dress AED 65
- Silk tie or kandura AED 15
- Bath robe AED 16
One weighed bag is a single price. Washing is charged per kilo, and dry cleaning is a fixed price per item. The total appears in the chat before anyone collects, so you know what you will pay. Guests staying a few nights usually send a weighed bag plus one or two dressier pieces, and the quote lists them separately.
- Wash & fold by weight, from AED 60
- Towel AED 6, bathrobe AED 16
- Swimsuit AED 12
A normal dress costs AED 40 and an evening dress AED 65. We pick up from the hotel, so there is no need to walk to a shop. Le Royal Meridien guests pay the same.
- Jumpsuit AED 35
- Abaya from AED 18
- Pickup free above AED 30
Yes, and it costs nothing extra. Mention it in the chat and the whole bag is washed that way, which suits babies and children with sensitive skin. Dry cleaning costs more because solvents and hand finishing are involved, so wash ordinary clothes by weight and save dry cleaning for delicate pieces.
- Baby items AED 6
- 6kg bag AED 60
- Returns within 24 hours
The front desk is staffed all day and night, so hand the bag in there. Add your name and room number on a label and tell us it is waiting. Guests at Copthorne Hotel Abu Dhabi Downtown do the same.
- Collection within 60 minutes
- Clean items return to reception
- Handy for early starts
