Value

Pros:

  • "Where else in Nottingham can you see a movie on the week of release for £6."
  • "Best value on cinema tickets and the usual cinema treats, popcorn etc... a lot cheaper than the likes of showcase and cineworld."
  • "Family of four is £20 a fantastic bargain compared to the larger cinemas."
  • "Cheapest cinema tickets in Nottingham for students."
  • "Showing great films at a fraction of the cost of large multiplexes, with the added bonus of taking a beer in."
  • "Has to be the best cinema in Nottingham. Four of us went to watch Joker last night with two meerkat codes and it was only £13 which is less than a 3d showing for one most places!"
  • "Cinema tickets are really cheap compared to the more well-known cinemas in town (students can get tickets for £4.30!)"

Cons:

  • "Cheap cinema and good for the price but the quality and sound isn't as good as a more expensive one such as cinema de lux."
  • "I do feel their drinks are way overpriced like most other cinemas which prob evens it out price wise."
  • "The equipment isn't the latest tech and the screen size is modest compared to bigger cinemas."
  • "The cinema itself, which is small and rather outdated."
  • "Don't expect state of the art screens or sound or seats, or anything really."
  • "Cheap tickets but if you are paying good money to watch a film at the Cinema, should you really have to put up with 25 min's of ad's and trailers before the film even STARTS?"
  • "But you get what you pay for."

Staff and Service

Pros:

  • "Friendly staff."
  • "Lovely staff, clean and comfortable seats and amenities."
  • "They employ a lot of friendly staff and they always welcome you and make sure to help you and such."
  • "The staff and management are very helpful and friendly."
  • "Quality movie experience, friendly staff, best prices around."
  • "Fantastic staff who are very friendly and helpful, lovely, relaxed atmosphere."
  • "Staff are second to none and the prices enable you to visit more frequently."

Cons:

  • "We got given wrong tickets and sent to room 4 when our film was room 3.. the manager got very argumentative when we realised and complained."
  • "I witnessed a young innocent sweet child be spoken to in a hostile, aggressive and sharp manner by a male member of staff."
  • "The only negative is that we overheard the lady at the till gossiping about us that we took 'too long' deciding which flavour of popcorn to get (less than 10 seconds)."
  • "The staff was down right rude and young extremely unprofessional."
  • "Staff a little lacking enthusiasm."
  • "Usually love this cinema, great value and usually a great service, but tonight the owner or manager (older man in a suit) served us with no mask and coughed into his hands before serving us food a drink."
  • "Appalling. Absolutely appalling. Words cannot describe the treatment I received here."

Facilities and Comfort

Pros:

  • "Great little cinema. Old fashioned sure but still has modern digital projectors."
  • "Always enjoy visiting here. Beautiful decor, relaxed, cosy atmosphere and seating, very friendly and excellent service always, amazing value and decent quality snacks, location and parking."
  • "It's a really nice place to be, It's one of these old school cinemas, but it is very clean and organised with a polite service and fresh popcorn."
  • "Old style cinema seats but still comfortable and the place is clean."
  • "Seats are quite comfy and the floor is angled so much that you can see the screen even with people sat in front of you."
  • "Very clean and the seats are comfy to seat in."
  • "The seating was super comfortable in the hypersense screen room- a real treat."

Cons:

  • "The rear door also a little deceiving exit to street but sends you out to housing estate/building site and then intercom unable to get back in."
  • "Only down side is that the seats are a little outdated in some of the screens and can get a tad uncomfortable."
  • "Seats are not too comfy."
  • "Could have been cleaner though, for example the toilet itself was clean as was the floor and sink area, but the gap at the top of the cubicle was full of cobwebs and there was thick dust on the higher surfaces."
  • "Seats don't recline."
  • "Limited leg room and uncomfortable seats."
  • "However, if you do go here, try to get a showing at screen 1 or 2, as screen 3 and 4 are very small, especially screen 4 which almost feels like you're watching a projector in a school classroom."

Accessibility and Location

Pros:

  • "If you fancy a 15-20 min walk out of the city centre then it's well worth it."
  • "Parking is difficult, but access by bus from town is really easy and there are some 2 hour parking bays around the residential streets for cars."
  • "Screen 1 looks like a real cinema now. Also cheapest price to watch a film. plus lots of side roads where you can park for free after 6.00."
  • "No on-site parking, but street parking (mostly free) available in the surrounding locality."
  • "Also handy to get to thanks to the orange bus route, which run very regularly."
  • "Whilst not in the centre of town, its a 20 min walk and is only 10 mins from the nearest tram stop with a bus stop right outside."
  • "There is ample on-street parking which is free after 1800 hrs and on Sundays."

Cons:

  • "I was disappointed on behalf of the young lady trying to manoeuvre her friend into the screen in her wheelchair."
  • "The only suitable disabled area was filled with a bin which I had to move to allow her to get in."
  • "Parking isn't always easy. After 5pm you can park on the streets locally."
  • "Parking not great but not necessary when there’s lots of buses outside every few minutes."
  • "Where do you park, the small car park that was is closed, sainsburys have 30 min parking, the surrounding area is permit parking or double yellow lines, I could not see the film it was a wasted journey."
  • "I enjoy coming to savoy in Nottingham as its cheap and cheerful, but unfortunately this time round we decided to take the children to the cinemas last minute, which led us to having seats near the front of the screen... Well my experience sitting down the bottom was horrendous! i have never been to a cinema house that is so cold!"
  • "What I had a problem with is locating my seat."
