HOYTS Cinemas Sylvia Park

“Hoyts Sylvia Park is my go to cinema for a proper big screen experience. The location inside the mall is handy; you can grab food or do some shopping before or after your session, and there is plenty of parking which makes life a lot easier. The recliner seats are a real highlight. They are comfortable, spacious and you get plenty of leg room, so even longer films feel easy to sit through. Picture quality is sharp, sound is strong without being painfully loud, and the larger auditoriums really feel cinematic rather than like a basic theatre tucked in a corner. Service at the counter is generally efficient, even at busy times. The staff are friendly and usually pretty patient when you are still deciding between popcorn, ice cream or something stronger. Prices for food and drinks are definitely on the higher side, which is normal for cinemas, so it helps if you go on special days or use membership discounts. The only minor negative is that popular sessions can sell out fast and the self service machines occasionally play up, so it pays to pre book online rather than turn up last minute and hope for the best. Overall, Hoyts Sylvia Park delivers exactly what you want from a modern cinema: comfortable recliners, clear sound and picture, and a convenient mall location. If you enjoy movies and want a reliably good experience, this is one of the best options in Auckland.”

“Tried lux for first time last year. It was the smaller private cinema downstairs. So cozy and only a couple of dozen people. Plenty of leg space and a lazy boy chair you can recline. Plenty of space for food and drinks. Not far to walk back out to the bar to order extras. You get a free popcorn and drink with the seat. Get VIP rewards and it pays for itself if you go several times a year. Wouldn’t go back to sitting in main cinema. You can order meals and drinks to be brought out to you as well. There’s quite a good selection. The main cinemas have lux areas too. Staff at the bar area are always super friendly and helpful and do a great job handing out all the food and drinks during the movie in the dark. Lux is my new go to.”
