    Miserable staff doing nothing standing around gossiping when they are not barking orders at customers who try to come in. Store has used covid as an excuse to create a layout where you must walk along EVERY SINGLE aisle just to get out of the place. Didn't even have the magazine I wanted to buy in stock. Everything else so overpriced compared to Amazon it feels they are just having a laugh instead of trying to compete.

    Nice variety of stationary and books. Shop is a bit small which never bothered me before but it is difficult to socially distance in there. Friendly staff. Always find what I need

    I recently visited WHSmiths and had the pleasure of being assisted by two exceptional staff members, Saj and Sam. Both Saj and Sam provided outstanding service, demonstrating their knowledge, helpfulness, and dedication to ensuring a positive experience. Thank you, Saj and Sam, for your exceptional customer service.

    Tried taking 2 books back to exchange from a 3 for 2 offer. Obviously this was too difficult for the till system to deal with. A frustrating situation potentially requiring a return visit with all 3 books was avoided. Staff were very helpful and friendly finding a solution to work around the problem. Manager handled it particularly well. Thank you.

    Saj was incredibly friendly and helpful, assisting me patiently with my needs as I sought out a single item. The staff is excellent, the atmosphere is fantastic, and I highly recommend frequenting this place.

    I accidentally bought an incorrect FIFA world cup sticker promotion for my young son and returned it not expecting a refund. However, nothing was too much trouble for the two young members of staff there, especially Shaida, who refunded me without question. This was excellent customer service. We're not from Bradford but this level of customer service was impressive, kind and very much appreciated. Thank you.

    It's very okay and nice, gave 4 star cause Home Office fingerprint service is no longer available, meaning customers has to travel to Leeds... very sad!

    Called into this W H Smith Store in the Bradford Broadway yesterday, to be greeted by two of the rudest retail staff, I have ever encountered in my life. Firstly an elderly lady, who was tidying shelves, I asked her a question, and she ignored me completely, thinking she may be hard of hearing, I asked her again, for help locating a nicer quality pen set (louder this time) she just looked at me, then said everything we have is out! The selection was very poor, but it was quite late, and the day before Christmas Eve,so I blamed myself for leaving it so late in the day, and chose instead 4 personalised Christmas Cards. I went to the till, where there were no other customers, and waited patiently for the young man behind the counter to finish whatever job he was doing (I couldn't quite figure out what he was doing) eventually after tiring of waiting, I coughed to let him know I was there, he never spoke, but just tilled my purchases in, rudely told me the total was £17.50, took the £20 note from me, without a please or thank you, then handed my change back to me, leaving my purchases on the counter. I picked the 4 Christmas Cards up, and asked if he had a bag for them, you would have thought I had asked for the world! He grabbed a small bundle of bags, separated one and almost threw it at me, saying "we only have these small ones" making no attempt to help or put the cards in. I left the store struggling to put the cards in the bag, with still no acknowledgement from either member of staff. EXTREMELY POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE!

    Had everything i wanted for my two Granddaughters for going back to school . Best to buy good equipment but cost £100 and id already got some journals in Waterstones as i couldnt see what i wanted online at WHSmiths .

    They usually have what you need. However it's generally way more expensive than it ought to be. It's worth popping next door to see if they have it at the works or Poundland first. The post office in the back is great but why did someone decide to combine them to save a few quid? It was a mistake.

    Good Shop but too small so it doesn't have the range of books/stationary like, for example Whsmith Leeds - it doesn't help they gave up space to become a Crown Post Office - the upside is it has a Crown Post Office!
