The Afton Hotel
Latest Reviews
For £30/night you can't expect a lot. Small room in a nice location.
Breakfast was average but with very limited time (8-9 am). The service was good and everything was clean.
Main issue in this hotel is the elevator, it's slow and at peak times (breakfast and dinner time) you need to wait as much as 10 minutes for it.

Booking the hotel on bookings.com after reading the reviews on trip advisor.
It certainly lived up to our expectations. All the staff very friendly and our room had a great view of the pier and most important the sea.
Definitely worth a return visit.
Excellent value for money.

Booked this hotel after reading Trip Advisor reviews. All the good things that have been said previously I found to be true. There was no kettle in my room when I arrived - tea, coffee but no kettle, presumably taken by the previous occupant. When I queried at Reception they immediately found me one. You can tell it is not a big chain, the staff are very personable
I was suprised at the size of the Bar and Restaurant - I expected smaller. The breakfast I found excellent. We kept the window open for fresh air and despite it being a Saturday found no problems with noise from the Pier - maybe it is worse in peak summer time.
The shower was a little small, but the water hot and it worked well. We have stayed at a number of hotels in Eastbourne, and of the cheaper ones this undoubtedly the best

We stayed at the Afton for a weekend in Eastbourne and very much enjoyed our stay. The room was fine, smallish but not unduly so and the bed was comfortable. The staff were friendly and the Afton represented very good value for money: recommended.

Sent my in- laws to this hotel as a Birthday Surprise. They had stayed here on previous occasions and always enjoyed themselves. We paid £240 for a four day break bed and breakfast which is extremely good value. The room was of a high quality and breakfast was very enjoyable. Special thanks to Jason and his staff who made them feel really special.

Also stayed at The Afton Hotel on an Easter coach break. Given the reasonable costs, excellent service and great location of the hotel, I sometimes think I have fallen amongst 'professional grumblers' when I hear fellow-holiday-makers grumbling about hotel deals like this. What more could anyone want or expect for such reasonable cost? I don't have any complaints and would definitely stay at The Afton again, on a similar break.

We booked into the Hotel on March 21st for a 3 night break to celebrate our wedding
anniversary.From the minute we arrived, nothing was too much trouble.
We had a lovely clean room overlooking the seafront and the Pier, a hospitality tray with a selection of hot drinks was waiting for us in the room.We stayed at the hotel for breakfast and
evening meal on each day and the meals were of excellent variety and the dining room staff were
most polite and helpful when explaining what was available on the menu. Evening entertainment
completed each day to round off a really wonderful break.Our complements go to Jason and Fiona for making our weekend break a very pleasant one. Would we go back to the Afton Hotel,
the answer to that is definitely YES. Thanks from Mr & Mrs Humber from Swadlincote Derbys.

My wife and I stayed at the Afton for a few days last week, unfortunately for us we had to leave a few days early. Everybody at the Hotel were happy to help, both Wife and I are disabled, from Marco (the Boss), Jason and Fiona (hope that's right, sorry I lost the list of names I asked for). Food was excellent, our compliments to the Chef(s), and enough of it! The young lady who cleaned or room was very helpful, our room was clean, tidy and warm. Shower was Hot and Strong, Toilet clean and safe.

Spent a .long weekend with a group of line dancing friends Hotel very comfortable staff very efficient, meals varied. Entertainment one night only, the rest of the evenings composed of line dancing. We had a good welcome and the rooms were clean and comfortable and warm which was very necessary as we had unusual snow for March.

We stayed here for 4 nights because it was dog friendly and very well priced. Even after complaints from some clients about one of our dogs, the management were very accomodating in offering us a different room in a quieter part of the hotel. Food was good and bar very reasonably priced. Lovely hotel and location, and we would definitely return and recommend. Apologies to anyone disturbed by the dog barks.

Stayed for a long weekend at the Afton. The place was friendly, clean and the service was very good. My gluten free diet was very well catered for and the service from the waiter was second to none. The bedrooms were very spacious and clean. Good entertainment in the evening made it an even more pleasant. Well done to all the staff at the Afton.

What a wonderful,welcoming hotel.Stayed in the Afton hotel for a 5 day Mon - Fri winter break,mid Feb.After a 7 hour coach journey from North Wales,even before we got off the coach.,we were made to feel welcome.Check in was quick and efficient,and our room 211,overlooking the pier,was warm and very clean.THe room has a flat screen tv with a kettle for tea ,coffee and hot chocolate.However the bed was a little lumpy and not very comfy.Towels were not changed.every day but if you ask they will do so.
The food was excellent ,nothing fancy but tasty and filling.The all inclusive bar in the evenings was 6-11 pm,and there was entertainment every evening which was enjoyable.The only let down for us was the organist Thu evening.the staff were very polite and friendly and very good value for what we paid

We visited the Afton Hotel for our family Christmas party and we could not have had a better visit.
Our group had travelled from different areas of the UK and abroad so we wanted something where we could all stay over and celebrate the Christmas holidays together.
The large inviting bar area and spacious dance floor were perfect for our wide range of age groups and there was fun had by everyone.
The staff were very helpful and accommodating and the nibbles and sandwiches provided were an ideal mid evening snack.
Would thoroughly recommend and hopefully we will be able to get everyone together again for next year.

I have stayed at this hotel several times and found it to be excellent in every way! The owner, Marco, is always in attendance and readily available to talk to. The management and staff are polite, helpful, friendly and very efficient. Rooms are warm in winter and very comfortable. The food is excellent with a very varied menu. All in all I thoroughly recommend this family run hotel.

Long weekend break in a snowy January so pleased that room had radiators that I could turn up or down as I pleased. Room of good standard - flat screen TV - and excellent standard of cleanliness. Meals excellent throughout served by very capable and polite waiting staff. We had a free bar every night between 6pm and 11pm so a jolly time was had by all. Entertainment every night - but let down by the keyboard player on the Sunday night.
Hotel is ideally situated - across the road from the pier and 5 minutes from the shops - my second visit here - I look forward to my next visit.
