Have had a very bad experience with the pakistani Mobile Phone stall traders near Argos store. I had my phone repaired which cost 100 pound which is much too high price for the repair. But after a few weeks when I started to use it I noticed it had not been repaired properly and I was unable to use the phone at all. When I make calls the person on the other end cannot hear me and the buttons do not work. I complained and they refused to fix my phone or to refund my money and laughed in my face. I asked to speak to the manager but was refused again. THEY ARE RIP OFFS DONT GO THERE!!!

Bay Viw Centre is great. Lots of big names and all sorts of products available. All under cover with large car park. One problem is the entry road where drainage channels were allowed to collapse and cause quite a jolt going over them. Even worse now with huge ramps which will knock the stuffing out of your suspension.Who on earth designed these and who was the idiot who installed them?

One of the most hideous and depressing places in the world. Mostly populated by old age pensioners, with the smell of frying chips from the central cafe (imagine how bad it used to be with smoke from when you could smoke in there) and the range of shops inside mostly centres around pound shops and bargain ranges

This shopping centre no matter what you think of i , regenerated Colwyn Bay back into a shopping centre again.A nice clean shopping centre with all the favourites in there, Argos, Home Bargains, In Store, Iceland, Aldi, Morrisons The Works and lots more. You can almost anything you want here without venturing out into the cold. It's particulrly nice this time of year when all the Christmas decorations are up and Santa is around

this is the place to go if its raining in town. its indoors and has quite a few shops and a cafe in the middle. its not the best shopping mall but it is the best in the whole of colwyn bay. it has a morrisons that is a good shop though not as cheap as it used to be, it has a thorntons, the works, a sports shop and some other shops like a baggage seller. there is a cash machine that charges at one end towards the car park but if you go to the other end at the end of morrisons, there is a free one. so use that.

The Bay View Shopping Centre could be dissapointing if your expecting a huge, modern Shopping Mall but it serves a purpose. Whilst its not the biggest and best Shopping Centre it is conveinient especially when its raining as everything is under one roof. The Centre has ample parking facilities, Toilets and a nice central Cafe which serves Snacks and beverages. The Selcetion of shops is fairly good, some of the most popular are Argos, Morrissons, Superdrug, Home Bargains, In Store, Savers and Dorothy Perkins. There are a good selection of discount stores so its ideal for picking up a Bargain. The Major draw is the Free Parking, a two storey car park means your always guarenteed a space and you can leave your cat their whilst you do some further shopping in Colwyn Bay Town Centre, which is only a few minutes walk away.

Not the biggest and not the best shopping centre. Having said that it is ideal for Colwyn Bay, easy to find and ideal for parking. It aslo has a variety of shops and if you want to continue shopping in Llandundo or Rhyl then they are only a short drive away.

The Bayview Centre isn't by any stretch the best shopping mall in the world. It isn't all that big but it does have one thing going for it. There is a large, two storey car park. The nearest town is Llandudno which has a much better selection of shops but is an awful place for traffic and parking. Thanks to the Bayview parking in Colwyn Bay is much easier. The entrance is just off the A55 so you should hopefully avoid any traffic congestion as well. The centre is dominated by a largish Morrison's supermarket. There are also quite a few 'cheap' shops such as Home Bargains, Instore, The Works, Shoe Zone and Savers. Other well known high street names include Bon Marche, Superdrug, Iceland and Argos. There's also an open plan cafe which is a nice place to stop off for a quick cuppa (it's much nicer since the smoking ban came into place). It's not brillant but the car park makes it very convienient. UPDATE Unfortunately in their wisdom they've decided to install barriers on the car park. You can still park for free for two hours upstairs or three hours downstairs but the barriers mean that you are now likely to have to queue to get on and off which can be an annoyance and which has cost them one star! SECOND UPDATE I've decided to review my score for the BayView in light of the recent proliferation of salesmen and chuggers who presumably are permitted to operate there by the owners, no doubt in return for a fee. It's become almost impossible to pop into Morrisons to pick up a loaf without being accosted by energy salesmen and chuggers selling raffle tickets to raise money for our soldiers (although I doubt much of the money gets anywhere near any members of the armed forces). If anyone working for the owners reads this then please can you kick out the salesmen and I might start shopping in Morrisons again.
