  5 Star stay as always!

  19 Apr 2026

  As a regular visitor, I can confidently say that the Hilton Southampton Utilita Bowl Hotel is my absolute favourite Hilton to stay at. What truly sets this hotel apart isn’t just the beautiful setting or the consistently high standards—it’s the exceptional people who make every stay feel personal and memorable.Karen made my most recent check-in experience completely flawless. She went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect, setting the tone for yet another fantastic stay. Magda’s incredible hospitality always stands out, and Adrian is consistently a warm, friendly face who makes you feel genuinely welcome the moment you arrive.A special mention also goes to Natalie and Monika, whose positive attitude and outstanding hospitality never go unnoticed. They bring such great energy every day, and it’s those thoughtful little touches—like remembering my morning coffee—that make all the difference. It’s always a pleasure to be greeted by their welcoming, smiley faces.The team here truly make the place. Their dedication, friendliness, and attention to detail are the reasons I keep coming back time and time again. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a stay that goes above and beyond!

  Lovely Hilton hotel and great location

  17 Apr 2026

  Stayed in March as I was attending a conference. Amazing room overlooking the cricket pitch, a huge cricket pitch at that! Great restaurant at breakfast!

  “Great Hotel, Spa Confusion & a Front of House That Needs Work – Hilton Southampton”

  16 Apr 2026

  Booked this hotel because it clearly lists a spa in the amenities.Checked in, went to the front desk, and was told:“That’s an additional cost, sir – no way around it.”Didn’t like the attitude, so I asked for the manager. Front of house manager, Adam, comes over… somehow even worse. Smug and pompous:“I can only reiterate what my colleague said.”My issue is simple — if the spa is listed as an amenity, it should be clear if there’s an extra charge. The same way parking is clearly explained. Not hidden all the way at the bottom under “spa policies.”Surely I’m not the only one that’s been blindsided by this?I even said I’m willing to pay — that’s literally why I booked the hotel, to use the spa with my wife. Adam’s response:“Not sure about availability, maybe we can do a deal… can’t promise anything.”I didn’t ask for promises.Went directly to the Eforea Spa instead — completely different experience. Professional, understanding, and they even said this happens all the time. Guests assume the spa is included. They’ve raised it with Hilton before… nothing changed.The Stay Itself:• Spa facilities: actually very good• Bed: big and comfy• Breakfast: amazing, loads of variety• Late checkout (12pm): helpfulBut…• Shower floor had a massive crack covered with grey duct tape• No fridge in the room• Overall felt a bit basic for a HiltonDespite everything, I still had a good stay. But front of house? Needs serious work.There was a lady at the Eforea Spa who was brilliant — I wish I’d caught her name. She should be training the front of house team on manners and customer service. Hilton Southampton - Utilita Bowl , Other at Hilton Southampton - Utilita Bowl, responded to this review Dear Clarkrecommends,Thank you for taking the time to share such a detailed review.We’re really glad to hear you enjoyed the spa facilities, breakfast, and the comfort of the bed, it’s great that these parts of your stay met expectations. That said, I’m genuinely sorry that your arrival experience and the communication around the spa left you feeling frustrated.I’d like to clarify that our Front Office receptionists aim to be polite, professional, and helpful at all times. They are also required to follow established procedures and provide information based on the policies we have in place, including how amenities such as the spa are accessed and charged. We appreciate your feedback on how this information was communicated during your visit and will ensure it is shared with the team.Your point regarding the clarity of spa pricing is understood. While the details are outlined on our website and within the booking information, we appreciate that these may not always be immediately visible, and we encourage guests to review the spa policy section prior to arrival to ensure full clarity on any additional charges.I’m also sorry to hear about the condition of the shower, this is not the standard we aim to provide, and your comments will be shared with our maintenance and housekeeping teams.We do appreciate you highlighting the positive experience you had at the Eforea Spa, and it’s encouraging to know the team there made a strong impression.Your feedback has been taken seriously and will be used to review both our communication approach and how we present key information to guests. We hope to have the opportunity to provide you with a smoother and more seamless experience in the future.Kind regards,Lucia Front Office Manager

  Perfectly decent

  29 Mar 2026

  Perfectly decent for an overnight stay - the pitch view rooms are nice and have everything in them you would need. Parking is a nightmare and you are lucky to get in the main car park. The hotel just lacks any special service Maisie King, Guest Services / Front Office at Hilton Southampton - Utilita Bowl, responded to this review Good morning Has74,Thank you for sharing your feedback regarding your recent stay with us, we are pleased to hear that you had everything you need in your room however, do apologise that you didn't receive the service you expected.We will be sure to take this feedback on board along with your feedback about our car park.Thank you again for taking the time to feedback to us and I do hope we are able to welcome you back to the hotel again soon.Best regards,Maisie Rooms Division Manager
