Reminds me of a cashless hotel laundromat that I had to use that didnt accept coins, tokens or had a credit card reader. So to wash my clothes I had to find a charger to charge my phone, download an app, being able to receive SMS 2FA while roaming which is a hit or miss depending on roaming agreements, having working internet connection, enabling Bluetooth and Bluetooth Nearby Devices, and then top it up with a foreign credit card. It took about 30 minutes to set it up.

I guess this would be easier in a beighbourhood laundromat with local clients, but in a hotel with many foreigners it becomes a pain with so many dependencies needed to use the washer and dryer.
