   This was our first visit to this beautiful cinema and what a treat. The seats were comfortable and we thoroughly enjoyed the film. We will definitely return.

   Gem of a place. Visited this place for a wee whisky taster session and watch the old classic "Whisky Galore ". If you live close to Edinburgh this place is well worth a visit with prices a lot cheaper than your local Odeon. It's the oldest cinema in Scotland dating back to 1912, and has lovely art deco feel about it. Definitely will be back for another visit soon.

   Had an exceptional visit to this incredibly unique venue. The oldest surviving cinema in Scotland! Beautifully refurbished piece of local history that’s also a functioning cinema and venue hire. I mean if you were going to the pictures - wouldn’t you want to pick the most amazing art deco venue!!! It’s worth travelling from Edinburgh to go and see (like me) honestly - a brilliant place, friendly and knowledgable staff, and great seating - you’ll feel like you’ve gone back in time :D Priceless!!!

   Beautiful building, it is really worth a visit. There are still hippos roaming here today, they graze on the popcorn and sip from Bacardi breezer bottles. The seats are quite small so if a hippo tries to sit next to you - I would move, as it is now a hate crime to fat shame them.

   Wonderful cinema to visit with a string variety of films. The front of house staff are friendly and it's a lovely atmosphere for watching both classics and new films. I especially love the silent film festival.

   What a lovely original old cinema. It's so charming. It's great to see an old cinema still being used. If you've never been to the Hippodrome then you must make a point in going, you will not be disappointed.

   Gorgeous cinema and the jewel in the crown of Scotland's cinema heritage. An amazing wee survivor from the early days of cinema, lovingly restored and upgraded for the 21st century. An absolute pleasure to visit.

   A joy. Beautiful old cinema with welcoming friendly and knowledgeable staff. A real old fashioned cinema trip which catapulted back in time. I went to a morning special show coffee and a movie for under six quid. It just blows a trip to a multiplex out of the water. I will be back next Monday !!!
