The Odyssey Cinema Reviews

Fantastic. No other cinema compares IMO. Worth the visit

Comfy. Good experience. The only thing you can't do is pause the film while you refill your glass!

If the film you want to see is on here, then go here. It's well worth the wait from the release date in the big multiscreen places.

The picture quality and sound are both seriously high quality. The seats are super Comfy. You can get food and booze and gave it at your table if you are sitting downstairs too. Winner.

A very Respectful cinema experience without noisy fools

Fantastic so want to go again soon. Amazing place delightful staff. See soon.

Great place, very fancy. But the screen could be bigger

A classy cinema with a bar. Comfortable seats and some nice alternative films along with regular blockbusters. Cosy, comfortable and friendly.

This is a beautiful cinema. There are lots of different wearing styles to choose from and it's lovely to be able to sit at a table for the film. The bar is well-stocked and you can get drinks during the film as well as before. The chairs are comfy whether you're upstairs or downstairs and you can borrow a pillow to sit on if you're a bit short! Parking can be a challenge but as long as you don't mind a bit of a walk it isn't a problem. The staff are nice and I always enjoy the introduction to the film, given by a member of staff. An extra thing I really appreciate is the well-written reviews of the films in their monthly 'what's on' booklet - they make me smile and never fail to get me interested in seeing something!

Great ambiance and beautiful surroundings, plus plenty of space to stretch out and enjoy the film. You'll never go to another multiplex!

It's a refurbished single screen theatre with an intimate feel. Refreshments are affordable, seemingly less expensive than a larger cinema. I find the chairs uncomfortable after a long sitting, would not recommend watching a long movie.

Comfortable.welcoming and great films...helpful young staff and bar.

Excellent seating comfortable viewing and good service.

Wonderful time in a beautiful cinema with great service

Lovely cinema really comfy seats will go as often as possible

Better then any cinema I've ever been too. I would highly recommend going for a classic feel to a cinema experience.

Lovely venue great seating not to sure about the a member of the staff introducing each film

Stylish and fun place to meet up with friends watch a film in comfort

A Very ' Individual ' Cinema. Well Worth A Visit, 2 Watch A Movie , In Comfort, If U R In The Vicinity. Love The Decor!..

Beautiful cinema experience. Very clean and seats are well spaced out. Extremely comfortable chairs and lovely to have the little tables for each small group of chairs. Clean toilet facilities too. Fantastic place. We will be back next week!

Fun, posher option than the usual Cineworld or Odeon for date night or a birthday treat. Not too expensive either. Parking is a nightmare

Great Experience- Beautiful cinema and Lovely Staff

Friendly staff, nice atmosphere and very comfortable seats.

Wonderful cinema in all respects , and the film was good too !

Amazing privately run cinema. If you have ever wanted your own area with a table, and an open bar at the back while you watch a film in comfort, this is the place to come.

Absolutely beautiful cinema with tables really comfy chairs, settees, bar in easy reach friendly staff more importantly not loud just right, a must see cinema, Miss it Miss out x

First class! Beautiful retro cinema, very comfortable, high-quality sound and screen, excellent coffee with cheese platter beforehand in a cosy cafe.

Excellent indipendent cinema. Parking is a problem sometimes.

Always a great all round experience at the Odyssey. First time for the whole family and we all very much enjoyed it. A big thank you to the helpful staff.

Rude people with babies in the cinema. The setup with tables means that people keep getting up and going to get more drinks throughout the film. Wouldn't go again

What s not to like about this beautiful retro cinema. Wonderfully restored and with great seating options. The main downstairs area has a bar inside, tables at the front and conventional seating. Upstairs has more conventional rows plus sofas at the back.

The film choice is varied and excellent (I d say eclectic), drinks are reasonably priced and the staff are friendly. As I said, what s not to like!

Unique experience. Very comfortable. Highly recommended.

Great venue. Friendly staff. Eclectic film choice. Excellent seats and not a tight squeeze unlike Vue, Ode on etc.
Lots of great eating places in close proximity.
Only downside is lack of parking courtesy of St Albans Council recently slapping a residents only order on all nearby roads until 8pm. Try NCP car park about 10 mins walk up London Road at AL1 1NG it's free after 6.30.

Very nice cinema but the staff and especially the management are very rude. Not good customer service.

Friendly, courteous staff; beautiful, comfortable, spacious interior. This is the way films should be enjoyed.

Been many times and every time it's the perfect place to watch a film

Nice cabaret style tables & chairs downstairs, can get a glass of wine and cheeseboard too. If you're at the back of a section you may get heads obstructing your view slightly but still a great experience.

Given a couple of spare tickets by a friend - very different to the usual but very impressed

Amazing cinema, the interior is great and it s by far the best way to watch a film. The drinks selection is also really good

Great venue. Drinks, snacks and movies in an impressive surrounding.

Wonderful and unforgettable experience. Very friendly service. . Everything at the highest level. I recommend to everyone :-)

How the cinema should always be experienced. Comfy chairs, open bar, varied films for all tastes. Love it here.

Cool place. . super comfortable seating. And huge audience. Proper hipster.

The very best cinema experience! From the staff, to the seats, the cheese plate to the excellent coffee... A great local business well supported by the local community. It deserves to succeed and it deserves the great reviews

It's always great to visit, unless you have a height fright because the border to falling is scary: 6 foot boy reviews

Well located cinema with reasonably priced films. An old style look, but very comfortable. Staff is very friendly, tickets are easy to obtain (I use e-tickets). Excellent selection of snacks and drinks (including alcoholic) available. My preferred cinema.

Brilliant place. Lovely seats.would love to sit down stairs next time

Absolutely wonderful experience. The staff was great and the announcement before the film was wonderful. Good drinks, comfy seats, and loads of charm.

Quick update. I have now been here 3 times and I have never had a better movie experience. The Odyssey is fantastic!

At last! The wonderful Odyssey is open with fabulous films, beautiful surroundings and supremely confortable seats. I have been 3 times in a month and eagerly await my next visit :-)

Cheese, wine and a classic movie. All wrapped up in beautifully renovated 30's splendor, topped with table service and comfy seats. Simply the best cinema in town!

One screen luxury cinema. Nice friendly staff, and not overpriced

Great group seating downstairs in large comfortable seats.

Great cinema. Super comfy seats and a decent bar for drinks while you watch your film: perfect!

Still a great experience - although nowhere near as enjoyable an experience as in the pre-Covid19 days.

Best cinema, great seating options and s proper bar. Only cinema we go to now

What a fabulous experience.. so very sociable. Reasonably priced. Very comfortable seats. Food and drinks available. Clean loos. Great cinema.

Great place to see a film. They love their films, it's the most comfortable place to see a movie. You can get drinks and snacks from the two bars and the building has been done up beautifully.

Lovely place,staff very helpful, will definitely go back

Lovely lovely lovely cinema, ideal setting (but I still love The Rex a bit more!)

Best cinema I've ever been. Big screen, actual tables, very comfy seats, plenty of space, nice bar behind you, everything you need for a perfect movie experience
