Village Hotel Southampton Eastleigh

Stayed in room 426. The room was clean and bed was comfortable.
The TV does not have a TV guide and sometimes it would lose signal. Reception told me that it was the same in all rooms.
The bathroom had a glass, swing door, which doesn't shut fully, but even if it did, there are gaps all around the door so there is no sound privacy. If someone walks around the bed, they would also see you on the toilet. If sharing, it might be worth drapping a towel over the door for privacy.
Spa was lovely and all facilities worked. Would have preferred the steam room to be hotter as it doesn't steam up the whole room.
Location was good, as there is a 24 hour Asda next to it. 20 minute drive to Southampton.

the hotel was well located and has great facilities (pool/gym) The bar area was great in the evening as it had large screens showing the sports and it was very busy, but the staff still gave a great service

Breakfast was excellent and location was great.

Nothing

Where do I begin… this place is the absolute definition of style over substance.

We booked in expecting a comfortable stay with a bit of atmosphere—especially with Thursday night advertised as Premier League Darts Night. That lasted all of five minutes before it was switched over to football halfway through. If you’re going to advertise something, at least commit to it.

The bar and seating area are in a pretty sorry state—stained upholstery, ripped seats, and generally looking like it’s seen better decades, not just days.

Only one lift was working during the stay, which meant long waits unless you fancied hiking up the stairs. Not ideal when you’re carrying bags.

Our room was directly above the gym, which appears to operate 24/7. The relaxing soundtrack included loud music, fitness classes, and the constant dropping of weights. Not exactly the peaceful night away we’d hoped for.

The room itself didn’t improve matters—an air conditioning unit that made strange noises even when switched off, and a king-size bed fitted with what can only be described as a double-size topper, leaving it awkward and uncomfortable.

There’s also no proper reception and no phone in the room, so if you need assistance or want to raise an issue, you’re essentially left to figure it out yourself.

And just to round things off nicely, guests are charged £5 for parking.

All in all, it feels like a place trying very hard to look the part but completely missing the basics.

As my grandma used to say: fur coat and no knickers.

Good modern Hotel with great facilities.

We hosted a large Support Services away day at this venue and had a fantastic experience from start to finish. The venue itself was excellent – well laid out, comfortable, and ideal for a full day event.
The food was great and catered perfectly for our group, with 50 people fed in the pub and grill without any issues. Refreshments were replenished frequently throughout the day, which was really appreciated and helped keep everything running smoothly.
The team were welcoming, organised, and attentive, making it a very easy and enjoyable event to host. We received lots of positive feedback from attendees and would happily recommend this venue for large group events or corporate away days.
