This hotel is very reasonably priced for the rates. The staff are very polite and ready to go the extra mile. The food is very good, and the restaurant staff are very good. Entertainment every night, but if you don't want to be too near, there are pleasant comfortable
Ittle rooms looking facing towards the pier. Reasonable prices for drinks.
Just 2 comments that need reviewing are 1. The coffee machine was not working, however that is being taken care of. There is a very pleasant new manager who is onto things that need attention i.e. high level an low level dusting in the rooms. However. On the surface they are satisfactory clean. Beds comfortable, clean bathrooms, good showers. I recommend this hotel

Visited the Afton Hotel with a party of 35 older people 17th April to 21st April. What lovely friendly staff, they made us so welcome, the food was great and a brilliant time was had by all. Everyone joined in with the bingo and dancing at night. The hotel is positioned in an enviable spot just off the sea front, with stunning views of the sea, and close enough to the shops and gardens for those not so good on their feet.

Had a lovely weekend at the afton over easter, room very clean though some parts good do with a bit of re decoration in some areas, we have been here many times and always enjoyed it the only thing we found different was the evening, it seemed very subdued no one seemed to want to join in anything normally everybody would be ip dancind or playing bingo but no one seemed interested i felt sorry for the compare he was really struggling to get people motivated normally this is not a problem here,breakfast was very good we noticed that a lot of familiar faces have gone i hope this wont affect the running of the hotel, but all in all another lovely stay

Stayed here over Easter with Edwards Tours, and although our trip was very well organised with a very good driver, and some lovely excursions, the Hotel needs a facelift. Our Rooms were clean with fresh bedding and towels , but judging by the amount of dust on one of the light fixtures and on the skirting boards, hasn,t had a deep clean for a while. The furniture is chipped and dated with some very dubious looking stains, and carpets are old and need replacing. In fact we returned from one trip to find my mothers room hadn't been serviced at all, and we were met with unmade beds and full bins, We did complain to the manager, who was very apologetic and gave us a complimentary drink, all very well but housekeeping is dire and needs an overhaul. Food was ok but you were limited on choices, and this was even worse for childrens meals, and they could only offer chicken nuggets or fish coujons, difficult as we had my granddaughter with us. Our waitress was very nice though and served us quickly and efficiently .Also on return I realised that I had left an item of clothing behind, hanging on the back of the bathroom door, I rang the hotel and spoke to the manager, who took my number and said he would ring me back ......I am still waiting. Lessons in customer service needed here I think. All in all a good holiday because of the efficiency of Edwards and some lovely excursions, but I don't think we would return unless some vast improvements are made.

I stayed with my husband & our 3 children for 2 nights, we've been given a spacious family room with a good size bunk bed & a double comfy bed.

The staff and the management were very friendly, helpful & the service was spot on, the location is really amazing overlooking the seafront & opposite the pier.

The bar is reasonably priced with a wide selection of drinks.

We'll definitely come back again :)

Rooms are very good, we books 4 rooms for a family weekend away....couldn't really fault anything..rooms even big enough to put up a travel cot without too much of a squeeze. great location.... entertainments on many evenings ..but :-( not the ones wee booked.
corridors area bit narrow and plain. .. bar is very good... and there is a good large dance floor, far bigger than most hotels of this nature.. top marks. well done The Afton.

We got here Friday the 25th at 1800 and had a very warm Greeting by assistant manageress. So full of knowledge and genuine warmth and directions to the room .
The room was fantastic with a view of the pier and the seafront . The room was of a good size with great choice of tea coffee and even hot chocolate and milks which were replenished each day and towels were also.

We've stayed here a few times before and as usual still friendly staff , dog friendly , comfy bed , clean and tidy , and good breakfast , bit dated but for the location opposite and the pier with good eateries a street away you can't knock it . We always have a room overlooking the pier this time no balcony but still a lovely view . Definitely go back next yr .

We come down to visit family and found this nice hotel, it was close to Christmas and had a few parties going on in the hotel/restaurant but it wasn’t as bad as it could have been, we checked in to the hotel, receptionist was very nice and chatty, the room was basic but functional, it’s not the Hilton but just what we needed, we had a quick drink in the bar prices not over the top.

breakfast was good we had it two days and no complaints.

Very clean hotel. Good quality bed linen and towels. Very comfortable beds. Had room 116 which had a balcony which would have been lovely in the summer. Nice bar at good prices and friendly staff. Breakfast very basic and small portions but it was expected for the cheap price of the room. Very central hotel opposie the pier and near restaurants.

This hotel is in an excellent hotel set just back from the sea front and opposite Eastbourne pier. It is within easy walking distance of the town center and many restaurants. I have only ever stayed in a single room but this has always been clean with a comfortable bed. The overall decor of the rooms is dated, however at the price charged this is good value for money. A kettle and television is provided in the room and the windows open for fresh sea air. The staff are always friendly and the hotel bar serves real ale (Harveys of Lewes)

Fabulous weekend with 66 older people from London. The staff were so accommodating and it felt like home from home. The food was great and varied and the entertainment really good . Excellent value and highly recommend it especially for group holidays.
Location ideal.

Location good, staff were not particularly welcoming on arrival and some looked rough at breakfast. Breakfast was ok, sausages overcooked and mushrooms tinned and watery. Rooms basic to say the least and the hotel looks tire in general internally. No milk or teabags in the room just cheap coffee sachets. Maids came round at 8am to clean rooms and were knocking on doors, toilet seat not properly secured in one room and toilet pedistool loose in other room. Bedrooms dirty in places and bedding cheap. Over all very dissapointing.

Great place and great location. It's very close to the pier and corner shops or restaurant and pubs. Room was clean and big providing enough space for 2 of us. The only negative is the Internet which wasn't available in the room. The password was provided but not the network.

Super location - just by the pier and we were also lucky to get a parking space just outside. You can collect a parking permit from the hotel reception. Alternatively there is a NCP carpark just down the road. The staff were all very friendly and professional. Our room was fine - nice and clean with all the basics as expected with a 2 star hotel. We had a family room with came with bunkbeds for the children.

We stayed at The Afton hotel to attend a nearby social event. The receptionist was fantastic, she checked us in very efficiently but was very friendly. The hotel was quite tired looking and breakfast was terrible. It was very cheap for its location. But you get what you pay for.
