We don't have a real laundromat culture in Helsinki so I cannot say anything about hip. But a decent place close to your hotel is Kallion itsepalvelupesula (Kallio self-service laundry) at Toinen linja 15 (Corner of Toinen linja and Suonionkatu, entry from the inner courtyard).
A map link is
here.
It should open at 8 am Monday thru Saturday. Open until 5 pm or 7 pm on weekdays, 2 pm on Sat.
Cheers,
