Enjoyable experience

Lido has a good selection of films. They are in the main, more art-house than blockbuster. The lounge seats are comfortable and can handle a 6 hour plus sitting of the opera 'Götterdämmerung'. Live HD recordings of Opera, Dance and Theatre are provided here. But...More

Comfortable, cosy and great to take a wine into the movie

Great theatre to relax and enjoy the movie. Can buy wine and take it in with you. Seats comfortable, easy to see the screen without others heads getting in your way

A very pleasant cinema

Efficient ticket counter and a drinks and food facility that sold both alcoholic, non-alcoholic, cold and hot drinks. Within a shopping complex so very convenient. Nice seating areas in the foyer. Cinemas were small with very comfortable seating. Staff were lovely and so helpful.

Movies with class

Lovely comfortable seats and drinks and food which isn't just the basics. Smaller theatres for a closer atmosphere. Some seats are double seats for couples.

Good visit - very cosy cinema

Recent visit to the Lido was very pleasant - coffe in the lobby before going into the movie was enjoyable and not rushed like the more large scale/corporate cinemas. Seating in the movie was also good and surroundsing well maintained.

Far superior to your average cinema

A real pleasant surprise here. We went to see a live telecast of "Carmen" from the London Opera House - and what an excellent broadcast that was! And in a very comfortable and well decorated cinema; almost as good as the ones in Thailand, but...More
