Exceptional and prompt customer service from both call centre staff and staff on site!!!…read more I just wanted to say a huge thank you to a member of staff that helped me today. His name is Pa. I parked at Spinningfields in Manchester and memorised floor 15 when i walked to the lifts. When returning to my car in the afternoon, i couldnt find it. I called the number on the parking ticket and explained i had checked a number of floors above and below where I thought I had parked. The lady advised me to go to the barriers and someone would be with me shortly. Within 5 minutes, Pa arrived and reassured me that it happens alot. He eased my mind to a certain extent and knew that i was in safe hands. He said we would start at the top and work our way down. If for whatever reason, we cant find it; he would then ask for the cctv footage of when i came in and to check if the car had left. It turned out i had actually parked on floor 5 .... not 15. When we found it i felt really stupid, but again; Pa reassured me that its a common thing as it happens all the time. He had also kept me talking whilst we were walking to say that he vaguely remembered seeing my car on his walk araound earlier. This is what kept me going. This again put me at ease, as not only is there cctv, but that told me that they physically check on the vehicles too. His customer service skills were amazing, as was the way he handled the whole situation. He showed determination, dedication and a genuine care in wanting to help me find my car. I really felt Pa deserved recognition for his hard work today. Too many people find the time to complain nowadays but not enough give credit or praise where it's due. Thank you Pa You were absolutely fantastic, so calm, smiley (in a supportive way) positive and proactive. You saved my day! Amy (punto)

One of the newer NCP car parks in Manchester, this car park is located in a pretty stunning…read morebuilding in the New Bailey area of Salford, on Stanley Street, right by the railway bridge, so many trains, especially those from Manchester Victoria heading towards Bolton/Liverpool etc do pass here. The location isn't right on the door-step of either Salford or Manchester city centres, however, you can miss out a big bulk of the Manchester city centre traffic by parking here, it is only a short 5-10 minute walk from the city centre and it also isn't too far away from the large Sainsbury's store on Regent Road. The Car Park was pretty clean and modern inside and out, the website claims some interesting features - UK's first electric charging spaces for disabled drivers - Over 600 spaces across 8 floors - Latest ANPR technology (Recognises your number plate/registration) Parking is really expensive however especially as a one-off visitor, it is cheaper to pay via the app, but even that works out around £3 per hour, there are some rates if you stay for a long time for example after 6 hours you're charged the full 24-hour rate of £21. The cheapest time to park is on a weekend, if you park after 9 am and return before 5 pm, you'll only pay £6. 3* - Not a bad car-park, some cool and unique features but for me it just isn't worth the added cost, especially considering the location, the traffic can still get bad in the area, meaning I'd rather pay the same to park closer to the city centre, or rely on the public transport network which is well-placed and normally quite efficient in and around Greater Manchester, especially the city centre with the multiple options (Metrolink, Trains, even the bus)

The parking attendant had already given me a ticket within this time. The website won't accept my challenge because of my US phone and zip code and no one answers the phone number provided. No way to contact them electronically. Seems like a scheme by the city to make money or just an unethical parking attendant. Other garages just give you a ticket that you then pay upon coming back to your car - that would make more sense and wouldn't rely on a parking attendant to walk around and hunt cars that had literally just parked.

I refuse to park at NCP when I go to Manchester Arndale, as it just is far too expensive and I…read moredon't understand why so many people park here. I have to agree with Ryan C, it really is pricey and it looks like the prices have really risen since his visit. 1 hour - £2.60 2 hours - £5 3 hours - £7.50 4 hours - £10 5 hours - £12.50 5- 24 hours - £16 This just proves it really isn't a car park for long stay, if you are planning a day of shopping in Manchester, over 5 hours, you'll end up paying £16, which is ridiculous, as many people will stay 6-7 hours at a push, rather than 24 and that is just far too pricey, when they is car parks just down Rochdale Road, within walking distance that do just a few pounds all day, run by Euro car parks or just other pieces of land. Basically, here it is £2.50 an hour, with the first hour costing £2.60 if you just stay for an hour up until 5 hours where anything over that is £16. This is quite a big car park, with multiple floors and a long winding road to get out, yes it is convincing especially in wet weather as it directly cuts into the Arndale through a lift and staircase, but is it worth the price. They is so many decent car parks in Manchester, along the side streets and going into Manchester from Rochdale Road, if you don't mind a short walk and perhaps getting a little wet in the rain, park in those other places, and spend that money shopping! NCP own this car park but I'm surprised Manchester Arndale don't do anything about the high prices as this is their car park, they are both equally responsible, and this car park doesn't have anything to warrant the higher prices in my opinion, especially considering it is even hard to get in the car park, and then find a space up the multiple floors.

Well, Arndale sure fixed that by having these folks come of their first Friday Night food and wine soiree. The pizza choices were about a half dozen. Prices are very reasonable for a 10" pizza ($10-$13) which was just right for two of us. We had the Meat and 'Shroom. Very tasty, not overwhelmed by red sauce and fresh mushrooms. Baked just right with crusty edges, but not too thin crust. I'd say medium crust, but still foldable to eat by hand. The pepperoni pizza looked like a winner too. Their wagon is clean and modern and opens up so you can see the wood fired stone oven and them making the pies. Very fast service too. We hope to be able to see them again.

Park Avenue is a car park. The name is at least half a pun, so they get a point for that…read more Its located minutes from Deansgate, close to the Bridgewater Canal, which makes it the ideal parking location for people working on or around Deansgate, and its only 1 ten or fifteen minute walk from the Arndale and Piccadilly Gardens. However, this prime parking location means that prices are very high indeed. Between Monday and Friday it's a whopping £8.50 a day. If you park a bit further out and walk, you can get parking as cheaply as a couple of quid a day. On weekends its only a fiver so its not too bad if you're shopping. They offer a few other potentially useful services, such as secure overnight parking for a tenner. Works out cheaper if you pay monthly at £160 quid, but its hardly good!

2 stars for value as with most NCP car parks it ain't cheap however I will be fair and said 4 stars…read morefor security - I think a 3 overall is fair! As I said it's pretty expensive, you're talking £16 for over 5 hours which is steep so it would be a regular spot unless you're rolling in it. True to form though it does feel very secure, at least in comparison to other parking options in the city. I guess it's the age old battle of price with this one, though if leaving your car overnight I'd say go for NCP as you get that added security and peace of mind that you wouldn't get with street parking.
