Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

    I ate with my friends here and I have to say that the place is really nice with polite service but,
    I didn’t like the chairs, they were very uncomfortable, looked like those of the school of many years ago and specially the food.
    I’ve order the most expensive plate that they had. The Octopussy, 15€ for a small plate without flavour.
    Was the same for my friends with the others meals.
    I repeat, really nice place but the food is expensive and nothing special.

    Nice cinema, good price for some popcorn and drink. There’s a big variety in movies. I liked that the movies are in the original language (with subtitles)

    Maldá is a classical cinema located near the Ramblas, in the center of Barcelona. Here, you can see some interesting movies that are not found in more commercial cinemas. Moreover, with a single ticket you can see all the movies of the day, so it can be quite cheap. All in all, it is a sure choice for cinema lovers.

    Listen. Nothing to write home about. Out of the options you have for watching VOSE (original English with Spanish subbed) films, this is the bargain bin at the dive mall option

    I like that:

    - Popcorn and beverage options are still good
    - It's almost always empty unless you're going on opening night
    - It's affordable
    - They show new anime films (subject to availability) in Japanese with subs
    - You can pick your seat when buying the ticket online or at the venue

    Don't like:
    - because it's a theater chain, you get barraged with commercials during the "previews"
    - Screens are super small
    - Those popcorn and beverage options? Expensive (makes sense, that's where the real money comes in for them)
    - Ironically, staff is not so well versed in English (no biggie for me, but I know it can get grating if you don't speak Spanish)

    The best VOSE theater in Barcelona or perhaps all of Spain is Phenomena Experience (look it up, you're welcome), but that one has its own set of drawbacks like the fact they have only one showroom and you have to queue outside because you can't pick seats at the time of purchase.

    You can't have everything, but if you're at the beach one day and you get the itch to catch the latest Hollywood blockbuster, you can do much worse than Yelmo Icaria.

    An old style cinema with good sound and seats. The experience was a little like stepping back in time, in a beautiful theatre which is not very expensive.

    I went to the Halloween night session, the first film being Critters (cheesy but very funny and actually really good to see on the big screen). However, I was disappointed by the choice of secret film. Rather than a good old classic scary ´horror´film like Nightmare on Elm St, Halloween etc, it was the very naff and not at all scary B movie The Toxic Avenger.I´d never seen it before so I gave it a chance. I left after 30 minutes as did quite a few other people who I am assuming were, like me, expecting a typical jump out of your skin horror film for the night that was in it.

    I will definitely go back to Phenomena. The lineup is usually really good, the cinema is a classic institution,and it is favorably priced, but I will be sure to know what I am going to see next time to avoid disappointment.

    It is a cinema complex inside the Arenas Shopping Center, which was an old bullring. A great option to watch movies.
