Louis Hartlooper Complex Review

Very nice, cool cinema with good films always playing. Kind staff and every movie gets introduced by an explicator

My favorite place in the city. Beautiful films, nice terrace, good food and nice service.

Nice art-house film theatre with places to sit both in and outside.

Very nice cinema, lovely terrace, drinks in the room, good food. Everything complete for a night out!

Poor service, is repeatedly pushed away several times after a hasty voice "please wait"

I recently watched the 'Steve Jobs' movie here and had a drink in the cafe beforehand. Very nice accommodation with friendly staff. Definitely worth watching a movie and having a drink.

Terrible cinema halls. Warm and stuffy. People on top of each other. A long film longing for a break.

Nice cinema with slightly different films. The nice thing is that all films are introduced, giving you some extra background information. Moreover, the LHC is a beautiful building and it is centrally located.

It pains me to give this place 3 stars because it deserves a higher rating. Film-wise it is great, with a nice selection of changing films. My main issue is this no-food policy inside the screening room. I get it that some people are bothered by the sound of crisps and popcorn but that takes away from the cinema experience in my eyes. There's also this pretentious-looking butler that puts the film in context before the screening (at least the ones I have watched). When I go into the film I will do this research by myself or after the film. I don't want someone to force it down my throat.

Projector didn t work and I didnt get my money back

Fantastic place to go to the movies, also nice for lunch or a drink!

My telephone reservation for 'Cinefood' was made on the following day. Wine in a lemonade glass. I had salad with salmon and it was very good, but not much for dinner. He was sitting behind a 2m guy and was looking at the back of his head. Still four stars because it has a good vibe.

Nice movies, nice restaurant, fast service that knows that you fly to the movies on time

We watched a rare Oliver hardy film and had a drink and a buffet, very nice

Always good to be here. Good programming : tonight The Matrix! The explicateur Constant was on fire :-D

Top location for beautiful films .. Enjoy vintage art deco

A visit to the cinema is really a 'night out'! Nice bars, cozy terrace, intimate cinemas and explanations about the film / filmmaker before the movie starts!

Filmhuis is old, but atmospheric. Nice that every movie has an introduction

Nice place to eat or drink something. I think the cinemas are old-fashioned old stuff, but you could also call that the charm of a film house.

Small cinema with epic nuance. Nice place to hangout with friends or families. I
You can watch a high quality indie movies here

Good service, nice selection of films, great beer selection and nice people

Great place for a visit. This applies to a terrace, a drink, a snack or a movie. Film is fairly central within.

Atmospheric location. The food is tasty, relatively inexpensive, friendly staff, a free bonus from the cafe was added to the order.

Nice cinema, lots of movies and a very nice place to drink coffee

This is a great opportunity to watch a movie. Not so much the spectacular blockbusters, but more film house films. Friendly priced and lots of student audiences. Nice!

Love the atmosphere. There is also a bar where you could have a drink before seeing a movie

Our favorite cinema! Snack in advance, drink drinks & watch beautiful movies. Nice to take a subscription and let yourself be surprised by the film offer.

Very chill. Saw that one of the colleagues was not chilling maximum, that did not help during the creation of an atmospheric image and so on but let the fun not print, the films keep coming! Fun.

A lower rating than they could have got, we got in 6am for a movie at 7am and asked two staff members if we could manage to eat before the movie, this would be the case but unfortunately the food only came after 45 minutes that forced us to work everything in within ten minutes and we missed the introduction to the film.
I would have liked the staff to indicate that it was going to be tight (due to crowds), then we would have bought something quick at another location.

For the rest it is a very nice location with very nice alternative movies, so don't expect Hollywood action movies. You can also take your drink with you in the hall and the films are shown without a break, which I like.

Don't forget to make a reservation for your movie because this place can get very busy.

Quaint and very popular. Efficient staff. Thank you

Leuk Filmhuis met mooi terras. Onze film kreeg een persoonlijke inleiding met achtergrondinformatie. Locatie vlakbij de passantenhaven van Utrecht, dus mooi uitje wanneer je met de boot aanlegt.

With nice weather outside on the terrace, with less weather chocolate in the conservatory, or at the bar in the back. Occasionally an arthouse movie .. Time flies when Louis Hartlooper :)

You can eat very well there as the Choice is Giant. A large Film range Large and Small Arthouse films can be seen in abundance. This special film house has been my number one for years.

Small cinemas, good atmosphere, no popcorn or cola culture..the building with its location on a very beautiful part of Utrecht.

Fine cinema complex in a historic setting. Also always a good movie to see.

A nice, pleasant cinema. Wherever you can eat well, even without watching a movie. Where they - to the sadness of my children in particular - do not sell popcorn (but you can buy that in the AH a little further). Where you should not expect the pop movies, but certainly not just cult movies. And where every film is briefly introduced by an expliciter. Highly recommended

Film was also but temp.was very bad. Had missed the Airco. Was the Film Mercy. Drunk in the afternoon. Was fine.

Politeness isn't a lot to ask for. Now the full story: I watch a movie there and one hour after the end I come back because I forgor my scarf on the seat. They can't allow me in, because they say there is another movie playing, which is obviously fair, and then they ask me to come back next day, as the wait would be 2 hours. So there I come, and start to explain my story, when I am forcefully interrupt by a staff member who says I already asked it before today and that they have nothing for me, without even checking. I know one impolite person doesn't necessarily represent all, but in this business you are as weak as your weakest link, so that's my review. Perhaps I changed my mind someday about it.

Fijne bios die zich goed houdt aan de Corona regels. Daardoor wel jammer dat je bijna direct buiten in de regen staat wanneer je de zaal verlaat (en dus ook geen gebruik meer kunt maken van het toilet bijvoorbeeld)

Superb cinema with good movies, where you can also go for a bite and a drink.

Nice film, and they made apfelschorle for us, which we were allowed to take into the hall.

A nice little cinema with a more personal feel than larger cinemas

Cozy film house, with a nice terrace and good food. Guarantee for a nice evening

Real cinema feeling! Atmospheric and films are announced personally, giving you even more movie experience!

Very nice building with a nice atmosphere. Traditional film watching, beautiful.

The film programming, explicit and location are great. I'd rather avoid the hospitality industry.

Intimate art house film theatre named after Louis Hartlooper, who in the silent film era explained the story lines shown on screen to Utrecht's cinema audiences.

Stays fun
Especially the storyteller

One of the better places in Utrecht to celebrate life.
