most hostels dont have a washing machine but offer a service that might be more expensive than if you go to the place yourself and get it done, but its convienent. some hostels do have machines, you can see many of them at
Hostels & Youth Hostels Worldwide - Online Bookings.
Halx - couch surfing is great, its tough to get started, as it goes on recommendations. People ive talked to who do it love it though. It is a great way to go, if there are people in the area who are couchsurfers.

They have a bag in the closet where they advertise laundry services. Prices were roughly $5 USD per shirt. I had a bag of dirty luandry to do and wasn't interested in forking over $100 to have it done. I took it into town and found a place that did it by the kilo. I don't remember the per kilo price but my whole bag set me back about $7. Fresh, clean, folded and sealed in a plastic bag. Left it at 9am and picked it up around 3pm.
I found this luandry by asking the bell boy at the front desk. Bell boys, waiters, taxis driver etc... I'm sure you know, have all the valuable info on how to go native.

The Hyatt is not a hostel. If there are bell boys, its not a hostel.
