sorry to say this, it feels very run down, the seats were not comfortable, the screen seemed very blurred, the staff uninterested and we were really cold. Next time we will go somewhere a bit better.

It's fair to say the Royal cinema is old and dated and we almost decided not to go after reading a couple of the reviews. We stuck with our plans and went to watch oblivion. The sound and screen were perfectly adequate. The seats are threadbare with some dodgy springs as well. But we just moved to another seat which... More
