Room was fantastic. We had a balcony and watched the cricket from there (didn't know they would be playing). Everything in the room worked and we loved it. Bed very comfortable, shower excellent. Breakfast very good indeed. Staff superb. We also ate dinner in the evening which was quite acceptable. A very relaxing stay

To set the tone of the review – we are going to book again. The rest is just saying “why”. The hotel sits on the Ageas Bowl, the cricket ground close to road links around Southampton, and the motorway to Portsmouth. It is just 35 minutes drive to Portsmouth’s Fratton Park, the reason we stayed, and closer to St Mary’s if staying for football. We have a room with a balcony overlooking the cricket ground, which may well be amazing for a 20-20 game. The room itself was comfortable, large bed and a walk-in shower.. The Internet was good and the TV was not as large as many but it does have Sky and BT sports channels. The king-size bed was comfortable. The standard black box Hilton clock sat on one bedside table. The lighting was good. The balcony is large with two chairs and a table – a bit of a sun trap in the afternoon we were there. The reception was quick and easy. The area is bright and airy. Whilst the hotel was moderately busy when we arrived there was no delay getting in. Car parking was plentiful and controlled. Two of the lifts had security using room keys, as did the staircases. Mask-wearing rules are now a thing of the past here, as most places are becoming. There is a Bar and Restaurant – Beefy’s – both with lots of space and an excellent selection of drinks. There are areas to drink inside and out. We only had breakfast in Beefy’s which was well done and fairly standard English style. The was a single large comfortable chair and table you could work on, some distance to a socket, the table under the TV area notable smaller. It was lacking in USB ports if staying for business and carrying a lot of chargeable devices. Being here for leisure was not a problem. Overall, a very nice hotel, well located with good facilities and pleasant staff. It fitted a sporting environment very well

I booked a 5 night break at the Ageas Hilton as part of my retirement celebrations so I could watch every session of a 4 day cricket match. My room, on the 3rd floor, overlooked the cricket stadium and was also a very good sun trap for most of the day. I will admit that the overall mood of my review is affected by the cricket but the hotel really did add to the great mood. I was lucky to have perfect weather for the entire stay and Hampshire beat Gloucestershire in a very entertaining match. The view of the ground was superb and I will forever remember this stay. The seating on the balcony was very comfortable and the comfy chair in the room was perfect when placed just inside the doorway when trying to escape the heat. Room service was excellent as was the cleaning team and in fact all the hotel staff were very professional and friendly. The reception team were an absolute credit to the hotel and I am pleased to see other reviews on here that praise them for their friendliness and incredibly natural openness to guests who look lost or have a question. Throughly enjoyable stay and thank you to the whole team for their help in making it that.

Lovely stay - large, clean rooms, large shower and with good water pressure. Large and very comfy beds and pillows, great rest and quiet. Great view overlooking golf course. Staff was very welcoming upon arrival and kind throughout our stay. Breakfast was included in our room rate, one of the best hotel breakfasts - porridge, eggs, omelet station, sausages, fruit, yoghurt, pancakes, and so much more - really lovely. The gym was the best I have ever seen in a hotel - a wide range of free weight dumbbells, swiss exercise balls, rubber training barrels, 2 adjustable benches, a rowing machine, ellipticals, exercise bikes, stair climber, treadmill - really great for any type of training. Highly recommend staying here for your visit to Southampton - close enough to city centre - 20 minute drive. Hotel is in a nice, safe location
