Not a good experience at all, floors sticky and dirty so the cinema smells, toilets dirty and uncomfortable seats we will not be returning.

Unfortunately the cinema has really gone downhill. The toilets were absolutely filthy, the seating area was the same, the popcorn was extremely salty that we couldn't eat it. We asked for some new popcorn but we were advised that's just how their popcorn is brought in. I only saw one staff member the whole time who was a young female which is not safe for the night time sessions! Will be avoiding this cinema unfortunately. Also seems you need to take out a small loan to go to the movies these days, why so expensive?

Went here from grand cinemas and much to my life shocking suprise, there it was, they changed to Hoyts. Absolutely the worst

I was scared to enter as if there was a demon by the doors. I built up the courage to go in.

Very small cinemas. I asked for meatballs and mash but they straight up declined. Like what girl, I only come to movies for my meatballs and mash, nothing else

Highly not recommend

First of all the customer service was horrible!

Just spent over $50 for myself and a 4 year old. First off they said my card had expired that i only purchased a month ago. I then went and brought some snacks only to be told the cheaper packs had only just conveniently sold out. Then I get to showing my tickets to have my bag checked, when they can clearly see i have arms full of food.the staff don't smile and are rude. They Have absolutely no people skills what so ever.
I will never come back to this cinema again and definitely do not recommend this cinema.

Dreadful long wait to purchase expensive tickets then another dreadful long wait to purchase food and drinks. Apathetic response from the manager when I highlighted this as a concern. Was told 'this is how it always is on public holidays'. Surely then this is a reason to make improvements! Not good enough Grand Cinemas.

No matter how many times I have called Grand in Joondalup to speak to a real person, not just recordings, no one ever answers the phone. Terrible customer service

Wouldn't consider coming back here to see any upcoming movies.

Booked tickets online to see a movie, got to the cinemas and let into the theatre but as we got to the doors the theatre was pitch black and the screen wasnt even on!

Used our phone lights to find our seats, which gave us a shock as all the seats were filthy and place looked old and run down.

Staff need to be more aware with what is running, as we alerted a staff member about the situation but nothing was done until we waited and found another staff member to help.

Finally movie started 20 minutes late, with about 10 mins of the start of the movie played with all the theatre lights on.

I don't like to leave negative reviews, but I would really love if you listen to them and improve.
Cinemas are in need of a good renovation and a really good clean. It smells of something stale and not pleasant at all.
You really need to look at your competitor (Hoyts at Carousel, for example). Better prices and all cinemas have leather recliner seats, such a shame it's so far from us now: (

Staff were quite rude and searched our bags and took everything including some stuff we bought other than that it was good

Hoyts Joondalup has unfortunately not progressed from it's Grand Cinema roots. The chairs are as basic as they always were, and the theatre itself had a mildew smell. After being spoil with luxury of Hoyts Karrinyup, it is hard to justify anything less, especially considering the same cost.

Still a gd location to watch movies even though it's tired and showing its age. Proximity to shopping centre makes it a good time for entertainment and retail therapy

For a cinema in such a central and popular location for the northern suburbs, it is a bit of a disappointment walking in and seeing how dated it is. At minimum the seats need to be updated, reclining seating would be awesome to see to keep in line with a major competitor who has had reclining seats in all standard cinemas for years in shopping centres as small as Southlands (Willetton).

Grand Cinemas is WA owned and operated and I love that, I love WA businesses and love the cinema - I’d hate to see a great WA business lose out to a competitor by falling behind the times and not offering what competitors can especially now the biggest competitor has a location north of the swan.

Sat in cinema 1 at the back and had to move because it smelt so bad of urine and the seating is filthy.
Movie was awesome though.

The theatres are in urgent need of renovation or deep cleaning. Going to need a shower after sitting in the seat. With the stale smell of sweaty socks and food it reminds me of times at the old Balcatta rollerdrome when I was younger. Please clean or update and refresh your theatres Grand Joondalup. Grand Currambine is much cleaner and more enjoyable.

Can't beat cheap Tuesday tickets. The cinemas were clean and comfy, and the staff were friendly and happy to help.

Grand Cinema Currambine is our favourite and with reason. Close by, clean, great service and big theaters. Staff are always helpful and freindly and we always have a positive experience.
