El servicio fue muy amable, y la palomita puede ser la mejor que nunca he probado. Bastante económico también.

I hate dubbed movies. It totally ruins it for me. This was one of the only theaters in Madrid to see movies in their original version (with Spanish subtitles for non-Spanish language films). They usually have a good selection of movies and provide everything you could want in a theater. I'd recommend it to anyone. read more

I have seen 3 movies here in the past week, all part of the Madrid promotion of the Fiesta del Cine. 3 movies for a total price of 12 euro, great deal... However, that has little to do with the theater itself, which overall, is a great deal for those looking for movies in their original version. While normal ticket prices are 9euro, there seems to be ways to chip this down to a reasonable price for a movie you want to see. The good thing is they keep a fantastic rotation of films moving in and out of their theater. The seats are comfortable and the theaters are nice. I have had good experiences so far, even when it has been much more busy than they probably are used to. I would definitely recommend this to someone who was looking for a theater with the original language versions. read more

Ok. Closest VO cine from home (by close I mean, 30 minutes bus ride but hey, beggar can't be chooser!) The first time I went here, I was so shocked because the "room" is so flat and the screen is small. I'm used to big hall and how to say it, descending? seat comfy seats back home. but well, It's good enough and the sound system is not that bad. If only Cuidad de imagenes is not that far away from my place, I'd go there. But I gottchu, ideal! read more

It was surreal watching an American film with the original English dialogue and Spanish subtitles because it's completely the opposite back home. This place $1-2 cheaper than the typical American cinema. However the acoustics were bad--you could hear the bass of the movie playing next door. Pleasant, helpful staff. read more

This theatre is great. They show films in their original language, the theaters are clean and the staff is helpful. It does smell like they poured popcorn butter all over the floor in the lobby, but I guess it could be worse (cercanias trains...am I right??). Also the location of this theater is great because after the show you can get dinner or something to drink near by. Great date night! read more

That's a really nice movie theater. It's really well located and has VOS movies. The only problem is that they don't accept credit card to buy any kind of food. read more

Very good cinema in the centre, and the only one I know that shows 3D movies with subtitles. The selection of films is quite good and it seems to be popular, so you'd better get your tickets with some time in advance, specially on weekends. Seats are confortable and spacious, and the popcorn bucket is totally huge, more than enough for 2 people to share. The only downside is that prices are expensive, but so are other cinemas in Madrid, and the location is unbeatable. read more

If you want to catch a film in its original version, this is the place. They have six screens and always a very good lineup of films. The rooms are unusually good, with comfortable seating and good acoustics, though they do get too enthusiastic about air conditioning in the summer. Try to avoid lineups by catching a matinée (early afternoon) or late film after midnight (this only on weekends). Expensive just as most cinema theatres in Madrid, but at least it's a good way to spend it. Five minutes away from Puerta del Sol. read more

This is, in my humble opinion, the best theater to see movies in their original language in Madrid. Cine Ideal was, when I first moved to Spain, and continues to be a godsend. Movies are one of the great loves of my life and it's important to keep that love affair smoldering. My patience is continually tested, however, as I am very aware of when new movies are opening in my hometown and sometimes I have to wait, and wait, and pray that that movie that was lauded at Sundance or has Oscar buzz that year will make it overseas. And chances are that many of the critically acclaimed movies will open at Ideal, at least a select number of them, sooner or later. There are at least 10 (?) screens at this theater. No stadium seating here as it's a lovely old movie house, located very close to Tirso Molina and Sol metro stations, in other words, in the old center of the city. There are several larger screens, but the majority of them are small. This is standard in Madrid, and pretty standard of art houses and V.O. theaters in other major cities. I recently went to see a big opener at Ideal (Tree of Life) and I was happy with the no glitch screening. The film print quality was good and the sound was pretty good. I missed a more modern sound system for this movie as the soundtrack is important but on the whole it was a good experience. In addition to print and sound quality, I have to say that public appreciation and cleanliness in a theater is also important, and in this respect I've never been disappointed. There's a certain reverence when it comes to the crowds that go to see movies here. I think I only heard 2 coughs from the audience during this last film. This kind of respect simply amazes me. read more

great selection of films from around the world. always shown in original language, never dubbed. they have flyers of current and upcoming movies, so you can check out all kinds of different genres that you normally wouldnt consider. central location, some cafes and doner kabab places if you are early to your movie or want to hang out after. i used to live up the block and this was my favorite theater in madrid. read more

Prices were a bit high without their discount card - need to be better prepared next time. I've never been to a theater where you had to select a specific seat first, so that was different. Seats were comfortable and the theater was very cool - I almost needed a sweater. Concessions were a decent price, but I didn't think the popcorn was very good. read more

This cinema is OK. It's great that it shows original version films, but the cinema itself is rather old, the seats are not very comfortable and the screens are small. Also, if you like to stay and read the credits / hear the music at the end of a film, you have to put up with the doors slamming loudly as people exit. On the positive side, they do offer some good promotions and the staff are usually friendly. read more
