Okay so....
The room was okay... The beds were immaculate... Bedding was super clean and good quality cotton... And honestly I slept like a log... (I haven't done for a long time) the bathroom was clean and had everything you needed....
Now the not so good bit....
The carpet was absolutely disgusting I have never seen so much filth in beaded into one place before.. It was crusty and had what looked like years of build up all round the edges... Luckily we had slippers we could put on after our showers...
Also lastly we think the people who were staying in the room above us were practicing for the Roller Derby down the road.. But that's not the hotel's fault 🤪

I had a very good stay at Afron and highly recommend. The staff were really helpful, particularly Marcos who was on duty during the times I had questions. He was very accommodating at ensuring I could stay in the same room when I extended my stay at very short notice.The single room I stayed in was at the back of the hotel so quiet even at the weekend.
My husband and I had previously stayed here and the double room at that time was very spacious so great size rooms for couples.
The hotel is ideally located close to the pier and the nice side (route to South Downs) of Eastbourne. I would definitely stay here next time I'm in Eastbourne.

Stayed 1 night for £195 which I thought was totally over priced and was very disappointed with what we were given. Room decor dated from the 80's with no ventilation in bedroom unable to open a window they were painted shut. Really noisy room, so had a terrible nights sleep. Tv was hanging off the wall. Really bad stay, complained to management and they weren't interested. Expected better!

Pretty reasonable hotel. We could not get breakfast. Rooms where quite outdated but in general not a bad hotel. Locations is at the foot of the Eastbourne pier wich was very nice.

The bed was incredibly uncomfortable and there is no WiFi in the rooms, only available in the lobby, which can be misleading when it's listed as an amenity, so if that's something you need, this probably isn't the place for you.
It's dated inside but that didn't really impact me as I wasn't planning on spending a lot of time in the hotel. There are a lot of good bars and restaurants nearby and on the beachfront so location wise it's good.

You get what you pay for for a beachfront hotel. Beds not comfortable but the hotel was kept clean. Disappointed by the lack of WiFi in rooms, only available in the lobby, the website is misleading on this. No parking at the hotel but a multi storey is a short walk away.

The Afton Hotel is rated 2 stars which, whilst it might describe the hotel's need for some upgrading of it's fading decor, completely omits to award stars for the positive attitude's of the hotel staff. All of the staff were absolutely lovely, welcoming and helpful.
The bedrooms are spotless. The food is excellent and the atmosphere is relaxing.
My wife and I loved it and will be returning.

Good for the price. As others have said it’s a bit dated, but I found it charming. Shout out the young dude on the front desk for being chill

Had a great 5 days here.
The hotel is being refurbished and although our twin bedroom was small it was spotlessly clean with new carpet and curtains. We had fresh soap and towels every day.
We were with a party from Oxford and very good comments were made about the food which was just like home cooking.
The staff should get a mention as they were cheerful, efficient and helpful.
We look forward to returning.

Just returned today from a long weekend at this Hotel. I’ve done 15 or more group bookings and this hotel gave us the warmest welcome of any we’ve ever been to before. From the moment we arrived we knew we were on to a winner…. Greeted by reception team and before we were all in the hotel our cases were being brought in. Every traveller (there were 32) got exactly the rooms requested on our rooms list. Rooms were clean, beds comfortable and rooms serviced daily. This is not a ‘posh’ hotel but for the price we paid, we well and truly got more than expected. Valentina and Steve? (Sorry- I’m dreadful at names) filled us in on meal times and when we arrived at dinner we were not disappointed with our food. The fish was so tasty (different fish on each day), some of us had fish on all 3 dinners. Any special dietary needs were met and no request was a problem. Evening entertainment was fab. Each night different but no less enjoyable. We were the only coach party there but a few interesting private booking also booked here. This hotel is prime position - right by the pier and really deserves to be busier. Give these guys a try - you won’t regret it. One point to note….spirit and wine prices at the bar were a bit steep, but bbeer & ciders seemed about right.

I have just brought a seniors group from Oxford to visit this great hotel. Very friendly and supportive staff, wonderful hot well presented food, and have no complaints at all. Has everything you need and is warm and welcoming. Is an old building but has a great sense of caring and would return without hesitation.Well done to all the management team, and the two chefs and the waiting staff in the dining room. They were excellent.

Fabulous hotel in a great location. The owner/manager & the staff looked after my elderly parents for the mon/Fri holiday but Friday morning dad was rushed into hospital. They looked after mom impeccably making sure she had a room and food for 3 extra nights while dad was in hospital. All the staff were super caring for both mom & dad. Made us welcome when we arrived at short notice. Thank you so so much.

It's right near the seafront and town centre, the staff are friendly and you can buy an on-street parking voucher for just £2 a day.
It's rather shabby on the outside and tired, but clean, on the inside. The room was small, but clean. There was no information in the room about meal times or, the entertainment in the evening.
The cooked breakfast came out immediately, so must have been sitting on a hotplate in the kitchen. The only choice of cereal was cornflakes or branflakes.
No yoghurt was available.
The cost for our twin room was £115 for the night: this was expensive for the facilities but, it was Easter Saturday and the hotel is very central.

Fantastic location in front of the pier, the staff were okay, entertainment with live performers during the two evenings we stayed, has a bar, pool table with plenty of seating. Friendly guests. Rooms were different to what we booked, ended up with a four bed and two bed rooms when we ordered two two bedrooms although we wanted just one four bed family room in the first instance. Generally clean all round, internal common parts are a little out dated with a lack of air flow so has some funky smells. Dependable hotel but do not expect too much. Worth a try.

Stayed at this hotel during a coach trip to Eastbourne. The welcome from the staff was really good with all rooms allocated and suitcases taken to our rooms in very quick time. The rooms were very clean and warm with shower gel and soap for use. The evening meals were really good with a good choice for each course. Breakfast was delicious with individual requests accommodated with no quibble. We were entertained on both nights although Friday's entertainer was exceptionally good and we thoroughly enjoyed. All aspects of the weekend were some of the best we have received and would gladly return to this hotel.
