Shop Variety
Pros:
"I enjoy visiting the shopping centre cause there's a variety of shops, when I'm having a slow day I can get all I need in one day breakfast, slow shopping, lunch then home with all I need for the week or month, well worth the day out shopping."
"A pleasant shopping centre with a good mix of retail outlets and food and refreshment places."
"Great selection of shops. Clothes, phones, hardware, hairdressers, computer games, food, jewellery and more..."
"Nice little shopping centre, wide variety of shops."
"Love this place. No need to go into town centre when you have it all here. Restaurants, department stores, food stores, coffee shops, phone & clothes shops, etc, etc. Good parking, post office, restaurants nearby as well as an array of bus services and banks. Great place to shop. I love it !!!"
"The centre features a variety of shops, from well-known retailers like WHSmith and New Look, to independent stores offering unique items."
"Its got everything you need in one place a variety of shops, good prices and most of the staff friendly and helpful."
Cons:
"Rubbish...go there when needed.. hardly any good shops any more."
"Not bad for casual shopping not a great deal of choice a bit bland as a centre."
"The centre itself needs updating and shopping choice limited."
"The shopping centre could do with more mens shops. There is nothing here for men regarding clothes shopping."
"Crossgates centre doesn't have much choice now."
"Pretty poor selection of shops unfortunately. If it wasn't for Wilko's and Iceland there wouldn't really be any point in visiting here."
"One of the worst place to shop in, you have to pay for your parking and it doesn't feel safe at all looks like a run down shopping mall there's no decent shops at all."
Parking
Pros:
"The centre is clean and well-maintained, with plenty of parking available."
"Good old Crossgates Arndale. Still relevant. Pay for parking and plenty of structure round the back for spaces."
"It's ok. Clean. Easy parking on the doorstep. Some decent good value for money shops."
"Parking was available at a moderate price."
"If you want somewhere to shop on a sunday it's the place to go. Parking only 50p per hour on a sunday."
"Parking is ok and charges reasonable."
"Add to that good easy cheap parking and it is obvious why this shopping centre is going from strength to strength."
Cons:
"Think they have a cheek to charge for parking on a bank holiday considering not many shops were open."
"Parking charges discourage people visiting from outside the area."
"The center used to offer a free 15 minutes but it no longer does and I think this is a shame as sometimes you are only popping in for a few things and there isn't any local free parking unless you park 10 minutes walking distance away from the center."
"This place might as well be knocked down. Loads of empty shops and the shops that are left are pretty poor. Since Poundland opened its just become a really scruffy shopping centre. Parking is a rip off too."
"Left a star off as the car parking staff attached to the back are awful people. They show no understanding of common sense and cannot give valid answers to questions."
"Went to Crossgates Shopping Centre on Saturday with friends, after spending over £100 between us were charged £7 for 4 hours and 3 minutes parking. £1 per minute over the hour is a rip off, certainly won't be going again."
"Parking is a complete rip off here, shame for the small local business that the Arndales only goal is to raise revenue from parking."
Atmosphere & Cleanliness
Pros:
"Been coming here for many years.... been a lot of changes apart from the mirrored ceiling which always reminds me of my childhood :) can’t fault the shops or the staff."
"It's a lovely place to go shopping whether you need food or toys. You can get anything here. It's a lovely atmosphere especially at Christmas. Decorated lovely."
"The vast majority of shops have level access and wide entrances."
"The staff are always friendly and helpful, making the shopping experience that much more enjoyable."
"It's been some time since I've been here so I was pleasantly surprised to see that although some businesses had gone they had been replaced by others."
"The centre is always clean an tidy, always bright it can cheer most shoppers into staying a while."
"A clean place serving local community. Worth a visit."
Cons:
"What can I say about crossgates? Grim, dim, old fashioned, it's like been transported to the 70s."
"Just not the same as it once was. The clientele during the day look like extras from a mad max film and the centre is about as visually appealing as Chernobyl."
"Gone downhill..units closing.nothing in there, tatty shops, coffee shops, some ok, some rubbish."
"A dump with ridiculous prices to park on a pot hole covered car park."
"In reality it's a dreary, aged shopping precinct filled with charity shops and bargain basement style stores."
"Poor shopping centre. Shops inside are OK but facility is poor. Car parks always full. Parking machines work from time to time. Everything seems dirty and neglected."
"Totally gone down the pan in recent years. All the big stores have gone and there is no supermarket now."
