I'm not a fan of ASDA Hulme... It's great in that it's huge, even had clothes and technology stuff upstairs... The downsides far outweigh the good! The veg section smells like sick... in the last two weeks I've been 3-4 times and each time the fresh produce section stinks... it's really off-putting and means I don't end up buying anything fresh. There's also a larger than normal amount of rude people shopping there. Pushing past you, generally irate customers... on top of this we always seem to get a member of staff on the checkouts that is stuck on slow... All in all I like having a good meander around to see what the retail giants have on offer but I find when I visit ASDA Hulme I just want to get out of there ASAP. Sorry ASDA Hulme you just don't cut mustard... and you stink... read more

Back in Liverpool myself and my better half would become truely excited at the prospect of visiting the local Asda. Why I hear you cry? Because as students in a time where most clubs/pubs did not have a 24hr license and shut at 1am/2am there was nothing more fum that a drunken wander around asda to see what rubbish we could buy. When we arrived in Manchester we had no idea that round the corner to our delight there was....a 24hr Asda. However gone are the days that we cannot stay in the clubs/pubs til 4am and now Asda has become to us what it is to every other grown up individual....a hassle on a Sunday, an obstacle course through crying children and down and outs. I am only consoled by the fact we do stay in the clubs/pubs till 4am and that our drunken trips to ASDA have not ceased to continue because we are getting old and boring. Asda we still love you, we love you for making us feel at home wherever we go. read more

Asda - Grocery Near Me - Manchester, XGM

I think it's no coincidence that the American reviewers love this Asda and the Brits are decidedly indifferent towards it. It is mahussive, 24 hour (except the weekends), it sells everything you would need and even has a McDonald's inside. Supersize me. There are many aisles devoted to foreign foods including a couple of Polish aisles and a good range of Halal foods (which I like because I can buy vegetarian Haribo there!). Whilst I do shop in local greengrocers and locally run shops, I had scoured all of the shops in Chorlton for some thai red curry paste - to no avail. Of course I had the choice of a couple of brands of it when I was left with the last resort of locating it in this huge Asda. Since I first started shopping at this Asda they have put in some fun Gladiator travelator-style lifts to take you and your trolley up to the newly-built second floor, where you will find non-edible items such as clothes, shoes, toys, pans and microwaves. The other day I picked up a couple of radiator clothes airers for just £2. If you pay any attention to the ads then you'll know that Asda is a lot cheaper than Tesco and the other supermarkets, which is the main reason I'll hitch a lift to this Asda with one of my housemates rather than shopping at Morrison's in Chorlton. If you don't have a car then the 45, 46, 85 and 86 stop nearby and there is a taxi rank outside. read more

I'm really mixed about Asda. Heading to Hulme itself, Asda is truly a big superstore with two floors of food, electricals, home goods and George clothes. There's also a McDonalds thrown in there too. Being 24 hours, it's always there if you've got a midnight craving for just about anything. However the range of meat really lets the place down. It just doesn't look very good and so I never buy it. Which is a pain. what's the point of going to a supermarket and not being able to get what all you need? ASDA does seem to be really good on the bargains and low priced items in the supermarket war. The delivery however. Nightmare. One time it never showed up and no one bothered to contact me. Then I rescheduled and yet this rescheduled delivery failed to turn up, without calling me again. That's twice of a let down. Free delivery for next time? Who cares, you're probably not going to come. No more ASDA. read more

Asda Hulme is a peek into the future of British retail, where supermarkets grow larger and larger, absorbing businesses and sectors until everything is 'provided under one roof' in a gigantic homogenous blob. Choice is exchanged for convenience, quality is sacrificed for price, and the shopping experience becomes alienating as staff and consumers are separated further and further from the farmers who grew the produce. Asda Hulme is a one-stop-shop for everything from groceries and clothing to pharmacy and homeware. If you're especially peckish, you can even grab a McDonald's on the way out as there is a restaurant in store. For a shop so large, there are remarkably limited choices on offer in regards to groceries, especially in terms of fresh fruit & veg and bread. The layout is also fairly strange, so it can take a while to find things you are looking for. I imagine this would be particularly frustrating if you are shopping with young children. There are plenty of other local supermarkets within driving distance, as well as some wonderful local markets and producers which would provide a more pleasant shopping experience. read more

See all

Having such a pantagruelian retailer just in front of my house is a blessing. Apart from food, it offers many other things: clothes, tools for the house...However, it is obviously focused mainly on food, whose selection is noticeably rich, including a wide range of world food. Most importantly, on weekdays it is usually open to 6am until midnight, and because of this I have recently taken the habit of going there in the evening cause it's not crowded at all; indeed it's not getting more than 4 stars just because at peak hours it gets unbearably busy. There's a huge parking just in front of it, and it's easily reachable by car or bus (several bus lines have stops in the proximities). read more

Big Hulme store with lots of fresh, dried and frozen foods, as well has household items and a home section. There's a good sized technology department and a large cards and gift wrap aisle as well. It's not always the tidiest of stores, but it's light, bright and airy and is well stocked. The world food sections are also great. There's a pharmacy and a McDonalds which is fab! Big car park which is also handy for Argos, B&M and Pound Stretcher. Cheap petrol as well - a good visit! read more

Asda - Seriously uncool parking - Grocery Near Me - Manchester, XGM

Asda superstore where do I begin. God bless America!!! :D At least for giving us 24 hour shopping!!! I almost always go late at night on a weekday. You have the whole place to yourself. and it 's good exercise. I bet a shopping trip for an hour, you probably get through at least a mile's worth of walking. The choice is immense, the price is right, the store is dependable. This one alongside the one near trafford centre is probably your best bet for shopping. However this one, for the sheer size of it is probably the best. This is a destination shopping store give yourself at least half an hour, as you will will be engulfed by the need to get more than you came for. I have never left the store anything other than completely satisfied. Yes, you can order online, but you can also get movies from love film through the post. Does that stop your visits to blockbuster?? Hell No!!!! Thank God we are not as lazy as the Americans just yet. read more

Argh! No matter what time of day you go, this Asda is always heaving. I'm not famed for my patience with shopping, and this store really tests my ability to remain calm. On the plus side, if you do get overly stressed out by trolley-riding children and numerous rude folks who don't appear to have 'excuse me' or 'sorry' in their vocabulary (can you tell I was only there an hour ago?!) there is a Mc Donalds branch in-store, so you can grab a burger and a milkshake to steady your nerves and chill your beans. There is a George section upstairs for home ware and clothing, and of course the great bargains that Asda is famed for - everything on special offer seems to be £1 or £2. It seems the staff can't keep the shelves filled to keep up with demand of some items, but I can hardly blame them as the onslaught of customers seems to be never ending, they have just one constant 'peak time' which lasts all day long. As an experience, I much preferred my old local Sainsbury's. But for lightness on the purse-strings, Asda wins everytime. read more

If a soundtrack could follow me around throughout life, rainy day songs would dictate my visits to Asda. Actually, the one time I was walking with my CD player and headphones in my ears, a certain sad French song came on right as the clouds cleared and I approached the Asda parking lot. The trek from my dormitory was one through strange neighborhoods with vicious dogs, though I never thought about the safety at night. Asda, I hear, is owned by Walmart. That would explain the insanely bargain-basement priced options. Whereas in the States I would stand paralyzed in the toothpaste aisle trying to choose between 5 varieties each of 4 different brands, I would be rendered almost comatose by the exponential trumping of that oversaturation in England. Sometimes I'd just want to fuck-it-all and go to Sainsbury's, where at least I only had to sweep one premium product into my cart, at a higher cost. But I ended up almost looking forward to my trips to Asda for soda, scones, string cheese, pizzas, meat pies, and juice. To this day I still tell the story of the premium £2 real sugar soda, the £2 for 2 bottles sucrose store brand, the even cheaper aspartame alternative, the even cheaper saccharine alternative, and the impossible 9p aspartame AND saccharine brand in a plastic bottle so thin I could put my tongue through it, with a plain white label with black writing reading "COLA". Even *I* knew not to fool. But I did get bargain pies and bargain spread, and bread. Not good. That was a miserable year of eating. Self-imposed, of course. read more

So much to love, so much to hate, all wrapped up in one (in)convenient giant package. Pro: + Lots of variety, especially in international foods that you can't find conveniently elsewhere + In general, prices are fairly low + On-site bakery means you can get fresh bagels, breads, or cakes + Fishmonger in the back of the store seems to know their stuff, along with the butcher + A handful of wonderful employees that go out of their way to be friendly (I'm looking at you, always-talkative-register-dude; that's some awesome service) Con: - Prices fluctuate, and aren't always as low as you'd expect for a big-name store - Fruit is hit or miss - sometimes delicious, sometimes half-rotten. I'm getting my fruit from now on from Have A Banana because their stall is on my walk to work, and they have great prices and good produce - Aisles are *constantly* full of people moving slowly or just plain stopped and don't know how to move even after repeated "excuse me"s. One of the few stores you can find unattended children laying on the ground clogging everything up with no parental repercussion - Some employees don't give a crap, or don't understand simple questions Overall, I actually like this Asda. It has its bad sides, but it's still convenient and is my go-to for buying my groceries. read more

My soul aches slightly whenever I know that a trip to the humongous, massive Asda on Princess Road is on the cards. I know that what lies in waiting for me is a packed supermarket full of stress, temptation and, annoyingly, no vegetarian sausages for my girlfriend. What I also know is that literally everything else I could need is there, whether that's monstrous amounts of beer for not much money, mega-cheap champagne flutes or a cheap dvd. As well as all your normal groceries. Asda is a necessary evil. Just don't go immediately before Christmas or new year, its horribly busy and you'll struggle to even find a trolley. Oh, and this Asda is amazing for recycling, having the capacity to recycle almost anything in its various bins and containers at the side of the car park. read more

There's a reason I get my Asda groceries delivered. A good reason. http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=4962433797#!/group.php?v=wall&gid=4962433797 What other Asdas have a Facebook group dedicated to how rubbish they are? To be fair, Asda Hulme isn't all that bad... okay, I did say I got my groceries delivered didn't I. Asdas in general - well, these large 24 hour Asdas - tend to make shopping a baffling ordeal. They're so huge and wide and maze-like that it's impossible to go there with a list as you might as well just make your way through all the aisles and pick up as you go along... which we all know takes FOREVER. So. 50 squid. Free delivery and that about covers a 'big shop' for two people doesn't it. What's the point in actually going there? Well, the online grocery thing does sometimes have its downsides, like the fact that if something isn't available they'll get you what they consider to be the nearest thing. But risk actually experiencing what people in that Facebook group are talking about? Meh, I'll take a few tins of Quality Street over those Heroes I ordered any day of the week to avoid Horrendous Hulme. read more

A 24 hr store (except weekends) where you get everything and when I say everything, I mean EVERYTHING! Firstly this place is huge! If you need alcohol with a box of cereal for the morning, walk here at 3am and still be aroud for while for a good selection! It stores everything from groceries (Food galore! and plenty!!) to utensils, to electronics to stationary to clothes to even fresh fruits! And all of this is dirt cheap! They always have some great deals going on which only add to one's happiness! It's a great place and they even do home delivery! And incase you're the type who's a bit too lazy to get there to shop, you can even order everything online with just some mouse clicks! How great is that? read more

This Asda like fossil fuels is a necessary evil. I wish I had the money to buy all my food from Marks & Spencer Food but alas I'm a long way off having the funds to even buy my 'bits' from there so I must endure Smart Price. The great thing about eating Smart Price food though is that it'll make you lose weight. How? Well, the reasons are twofold - reason the first; because the food is made with the most budget of ingredients they frequently have a lower calorific content than even the healthy eating range. Reason the second; they taste so bad that you will almost never be able to make it through an entire meal. The best way to treat Asda Hulme is as a mad dash; give yourself a set shopping time - fifteen minutes say - and, if it helps, create an imaginary reason for storming through so quickly. Imagine that you are being chased around the supermarket by a grizzly bear or that your car is being eyed up by thieves and will be broken into and joyridden off at any moment (that's probably not far off round here). There are a number of real advantages to coming here though - the extensive world foods section, the fresh pizza counter and the halal butcher counter. It is also very, very cheap here though with constant offers rolling out on a weekly basis. Warning though - if you see an advertised offer come and pick it up sooner rather than later as you can find yourself popping in the next week only for the item to have gone up to double the offer price again. read more

Not 24 hrs any more, there are refurbishing and adding an upper floor to the supermarket, which means they have been moving aisles and it's bedlam at the weekends! They sometimes run out of things like value chopped tomatoes and houmus, which can be annoying. But it is cheap and easily reached by bus, the petrol is the cheapest in the area too. read more

What a huge store this is. Everything you could possibly want is here, food, drink, clothes, electrical, toys, jewellery and even an opticians selling some designer glasses as well. Prices are very competitive and as well as their own brand products, Asda sells all the usual well known brands that we all know. The staff are very helpful and there's also a cafe serving teas, coffees and hot and cold snacks. There's a free car park also as well as a petrol station and car wash. read more

Always been a regular shopper at Asda, I find it much cheaper than most supermarkets to get in the weekly shop. Although I shop here with my partner, I find is great for larger families shopping on a tight budget as Asda regularly have many multi deals on items. Customer service is always good and efficient and shelves a fully stocked most of the time. Only negative point I can think of about them is that they can be pretty slow compared to other supermarkets on getting new products on the shelf. read more

This asda is 24 hours and is massive. They have a cheap(er) petrol station as well and a few other shops next door. Because it is in the student area it is definitely one of the busier superstores and i recommend to go at night if you can. They have everything you want in a supermarket as well as a macdonalds and a seperate little newspaper and sarnie shop for when you're in a rush. There's always plenty of parking spaces and it's free to park. Plenty of disabled and mother and child ones. There are three cash machines on the outside of the building. There is also a flower shop in here. Great for doing your weekly shop. read more

Adsa Hulme. What can you say? Cheap, but not cheerful, Fresh food thats not always fresh, Friendly staff... on telly advert anyway. Handy distance from my home, but so is the dentist and I have no wish to go there. But I DO like ASDA! read more

Asda Hulme, Asda Hulme, Asda Hulme. I'd heard people refer to this mythical place ever since I moved to Manchester, their reviews were less than glowing. I visited for the first time yesterday and I now know why. My soul now aches and I feel a bit dirty, I'll never get my Asda Hulme virginity back. This branch of Asda seems to have shoved in at least 6 times the amount of stuff that can logically fit into an already pretty large space and then narrowed the aisles so everyone has to move at a snails pace because the aisles are jam packed with shoppers and their trolley. If you like to go to the supermarket in your underwear of pyjamas this is the supermarket for you, I was the only person not wearing slippers and almost see through pyjama bottoms. Avoid. read more

Here at Asda in recent months they have had a cut down on their prices. Digital Cameras went down here and they went down to under 40 quid which was nothing but a bargain! When coming here always check out their entertainment side as they often cut down prices making those items cheaper to pick up here. Shopping here is no hassle for me as you can find items easily and get good service. Even when you go on the tills staff here offer to do your packing for you so this is very good service you get from Asda. read more

you have two choices: 1.) allocate 10 minutes for your trip in and out of the store. 2.) spend well over an hour browsing. there is a LOT of stuff in this store. I'm going to list things off the top of my head. -huge liquor selection (there are some scotch brands that are a lot cheaper than in the states) -fresh baked goods -halal meats -ready to eat meals, including smoked pork knuckles, meat pies, etc -lots of random food items that made me happy (rendered duck fat) -exotic (to me anyway) foods (british back bacon, british streaky bacon, clotted cream, pork bangers, etc) -electronics section where you can top off your temporary SIM card because the employees in that section are really helpful -extensive selection in the meat freezers -good produce selection and that's just the first floor. the second floor (you get there by taking these moving sidewalk kind of escalators that magnetically lock your shopping cart wheels into place) is where the clothes and home items are. i realize that a lot of my fascination with asda stems from the fact that i am a foreigner and so the foods do seem novel, but i do think if i were to live in manchester for a prolonged period of time i would find this store very useful. the prices are good, they're open 24 hours, and the selection is extensive. read more

This is a very large ASDA situated on Princess Parkway. It is massive and occupies 2 floors. I don't often do my shopping at ASDA but I sometimes pop in here on the way to work if I have forgotten to bring something with me. I'm not a fan of any of the prepared buttys or snacks though as they are a little like cardboard in my opinion but this isn't the fault of the actual store...Overall a decent store especially for homeware. read more

As a student (or professional), if you live in Rusholme and you fancy a big supermarket with a variety of stuff, this is the place for you. Forget about the little local shops. You will find literally everything you need. Cosmetics, clothes, dvds, books, electronics and of course plenty of food to choose from. The prices are very low. With 20-30 you can buy a good chunk of food that will last you for a while. The products are very well arranged and fresh. The store is clean all the time, I've never seen a broken bottle around. Beware of Saturdays or Sundays. Very busy and you will spend a lot of time at the queue. But for the prices and quality that Asda offers, I think it's alright for you to waste 15 minutes waiting to pay. Now the staff is very happy to help, and I'm amazed cuz the cashiers need to be sooo tired after a long day at work, and somehow, they still find the energy to smile, treat you with respect and be fast with your shopping. The only thing I don't like about Asda, is that you can find a McDonald's just inside the store. I really don't see the point in that. I mean they have their own coffee shop as well, but a fast food is a bit bizarre. read more

I used to work in here as a cleaner lol! Great supermarket,great prices,can`t be beat !! read more

This asda is huge. By far the best out of the manchester supermarkets as you can get anything from food, electricals and clothes here. asda prices are always low and the food is always good quality and fresh. the clothes are nice too! read more

Asda!!! Oh how I miss thee. Asda was great because they had everything you could ask for. Really until I found a ASDA i still felt odd living in Manchester. Finding ASDA helped me settle in as I instantly knew where to get whatever I needed. Their prices are real bargains and their staff are extremely helpful and friendly. Im not sure if this one is open 24 hours but if it is it makes it even more convenient. ASDA quickly became my one place to get all my groceries! read more

In Asda the prices mach the quality. If you want cheap largely unethical food pumped full of additives and hormones then this is the place for you. It is a large store with a huge supply of this stuff funded by the American dream that is Walmart. This said, when the chip are down Asda is good for getting the chips back up. Not really a great choice though, if you have choice. read more

Asda is always that little cheaper than the larger monomegahumongous 'grocers' up and down UK land. They pretty much sell the same items as the others although not perhaps not quite the range of the more 'exotic' items. That's not so much of a problem here as it's serving the large multi-cultural area's of Moss Side, Hulme and Whalley Range. With this territory goes the need to serve a broader range of food for a broader palette. I'm a little taken aback at some of the vegetables they sell here: there are usually several I've never seen before in my life, never mind knowing how on earth I'd go about preparing them. This Hulme branch is pretty huge (although dwarfed by one of Europe's largest Asda's over at SportCity) and stocks nigh on most things: Widefaced Screen Tellys; DVDWap machines for VHS downloads; phones you place on your head for listening off; durable rubber gifts; stationary; undergarments and over egged puddings; pots and pants; Japanese confectionery and considerate Jalapeño peppersthere's little you can't get here. I especially like Asda's jumbo Bombay mix - one for the journey back after a hectic rummage through this superstore. One of the great things about this store is it's huge diversity: pretty much every cultural pocket on planet earth is represented in this one store. I was commenting on this recently to my missus whilst traversing Aisle 2 (toiletries): the only nationals we had yet to spot that day were Mexicansand lo and behold a group of Mexican folk appeared right before us carrying out their weekly shop. Tremendous! I've added Mongolians to my list since then - it's like an interesting 'global village' version of train spotting. read more

Of all the adsa stores i use in manchester i have to say this is the worse, i cant understand the tanoy announcments the staff are rude and unhelpfull. the store is generally a mess. Theres a mc donalds in the store where the cafe is but the staff seems the same there. If you cant find somthing its hard to find members of staff and often the greeter isnt around. the freezers are regularly empty. Since it changed onto 2 floors the clothes section is alot better but i would rather travel a few miles down the rd to sport city. The 1 bounus is there is an Argos and instore close by. read more

It's an Asda, I don't really know how to write a review for an Asda. It's a big supermarket, exactly the same as every other supermarket across the land. That'll do, I think. read more

The ASDA on the Princess road is massive!!! It is a lot better than Tesco and Sainbury's because their food is a lot cheaper but they still offer the same extensive range. They have a really good mix of own brand and big brand food. Furthermore, the clothes section of ASDA, George, is really good. They stock a large range from shoes, trousers, jumpers and suits for both male and females. If you have a car it is within a 2 mile radius of the Student area, Fallowfield. If your shopping budget is less, this is the place for you as it will definelty go further than at other supermarkets. read more

This place is huge. You can buy anything and everything here from Food ,clothes and house nand home products. Its never over busy with big queues even on a weeknd read more

This huge ASDA provides a huge range of food products on the massive ground floor and a number of household items and other items on the upper floor which is almost as big. Due to it being in a student area, not far from the University, it makes it a very busy shopping area for students and is definitely busy at all times even if it is 24 hours. Incorporated with this is a McDonalds, a sandwich meal perfect for a quick bite and a pharmacy on site. There is a huge car park, petrol station and taxi rank meaning it is perfect for many ways of travel to get here. Definitely worth it for their cheap prices compared to those of other stores on the Oxford Road. Ideal and handy for a weekly shop. read more

Asda Hulme staff are worse than those at Eastlands. Once I found a piece of metal in a meal and when I showed it to the customer service staff she managed to lose it immediately then told me there's nothing they can do since there is no evidence. Another occasion I left my wallet in the car and asked the young girl on the self-checkout if I could leave my basket with her while I got it. This was after I finally managed to get her attention as she was busy chatting to her friend. When I came back my basket was missing- she was too busy chatting to her friend to notice that another member of staff had taken my basket to re-shelve the items. read more

they have recently mmade a 2nd level to this Asda and improved the stock they hold.. other than that like someone said b4 .. what can I say ?? a supermarket is a supermarket!!! read more

The staff are unprofessional never shopping in here again.A member of staff thought it was acceptable to call me a stupid cow infront of my daughter.What makes it even worse is the fact that she was working on customer services.i reported the matter to the duty manager I will be taking the matter further.Very much annoyed!! read more
