Have just spent a night here with a group of friends.
For the money and location it is a good deal. There are no fancy frills, basic rooms and ammenities, but a nice relaxed atmosphere and an excellent breakfast with good service.
Directly opposite the pier, the hotel even provides a parking permit so you don't have to spend extra money on parking.

Me & my wife recently stayed at the afton hotel and found it to be just perfect from the moment we arrived, the staff here are great and made us feel very welcome. You had a variety of choice when it came to breakfast and meal time followed by some light entertainment in the evening. The hotel was in a great location opposite the pier so you can go for walks along the sea front and only a few minutes walk from the town where you could go for a nice lunch or meal. I would certainly stay here again and definately recommend the hotel to anyone thinking of staying in eastbourne. GREAT VALUE! , 5 STAR*****

recently stayed at the afton hotel and what a pleasure it was. i was made to feel very welcome by all the staff. The manager mr mccabe was very accommadating. breakfast was the best i've had in a long time and in the evening i spent a lovely time in the warm welcomeing bar and an execellent bar man (i think was call max) made my wife and myself feel at home. can,t wait to return for a longer break.

just had a holiday at this hotel and would say that this is where you would get what you pay for!! Althought the food is adequate it is somewhat unimaginative. The rooms are, by comparison with other two star hotels, a little on the small side so if you are a small person then you will be o.k. However the staff at the hotel are really great and will do everything possible to make your meal times a pleasurable experience (one thing here is the fact that you can have a really good breakfast and it is well cooked). Entertainment whilst my wife and I were there was excellent and it made for a good evening in.

This was the 2nd time we have had an overnight stay at the Afton. And again great value for money. The 3 course evening meal at only £10 a head was tasty, the breakfast very good too. There is also entertainment on in the evenings , a keyboard player was on Thursday evening, we enjoyed it. We will most certainly stay at the Afton next time we are in Eastbourne. A clean hotel that is reasonably priced, friendly staff, what more could you want...

quite often have to stay overnight in Eastbourne, this was my first time at the Afton, but hope it isnt my last.
Paid very little and wasnt expecting very much, so was pleasantly surprised.
Room was a bit on the small side but more than adequate, however the staff were extremely helpful and I thought the breakfast was superb.
Paid £87 for a night in Eastbourne a couple of weekends ago and the Afton is far superior.
I will definitely stay here again.

Just returned from another great week end at the Afton Hotel. As part of a larger group, Jason and his team made us all welcome this weekend.
From the lovely people front of house who were always willing to help to the invisable angels that look after us in the background.
Thanks again and hope to see you next year

A hotel which offer a 5 star service and is Open to non-residents and makes you feel welcome from the minute you walk in it is a great place just to pop in and meet up with friends for a coffee and chat, lunch or to spend an evening or to join in the many functions that they offer

Resident or not, the welcome and service from the team at the Afton Hotel always great and makes you want to come back time and time again. Then when you meet owners Marco and Cathy you understand why. If you've not visited the hotel then you are definitely missing out.

This hotel deserves more than the AA 2 star rating it has. Rooms were scrupulously clean with maid servcie every day, The food was really well cooked with a good variety on offer.
The entertainment was good, and my friends and I spent a brilliant week at the Afton Hotel thanks to the good offices of manager Jason and his excellent staff. Would recommend this Hotel wholeheartedly to anyone looking for comfort and good food.

I went on a coach tour and stayed at the Afton Hotel with my husband for the New Year. The day I arrived it was my birthday. Unknown to me my husband had asked if they could announce my birthday but as I was at the evening meal the general manager came to our table and gave me a birthday card and a small gift from the hotel. The meals were good and always hot. The evening entertainment was good but could have been varied. They need to review the DJ the have for New Years Eve as he did not reallly get the music right. The room we had was large and clean only fault was it was a basement room. As my husband is disabled we found it a little difficult as we had to go down in a lift and then walk accross the dining room which was dark at times and had two steps for him to use. The staff and management were very friendly and helpful

Thank you to everybody for making the weekend such a success. The waiting staff worked so hard, the rooms were comfortable, clean and had everything that we wanted. Everybody was polite, cheerful and welcoming, the whole experience surpassed my expectations. Your website is so right when it claims ‘ the 2 star hotel with the 5 star service’ . So true.
Many thanks, will definitely be back.
Kind regards

We used the hotel's function room to host a 'Strictly come dancing' evening for our members and thier partners. It was a fun evening made even more enjoyable by the wonderful service that we received from the hotel. The Afton Hotel team made everyone feel so welcome and nothing was too much trouble. Thank you all for making our evening a success.

Another successful weekend for the "Old Boys" and their partners. We have for several years now been lucky enough to spend two weekends each year at The Afton, which really speaks for itself. Friendly staff, good location, clean warm rooms, good entertainment Friday and Saturday,very accommodating regarding bar opening or should I say closing, which when friends get together for a "chat" is very useful. Food very adequate and even late night sandwiches ordered arrived at 10.30 were supurb, all in all excellent value. We can't thank them enough for yet another great weekend from all 19 of us.

I would like to say that 48 of us from the Ex-Servicemens Club Thetford stayed here for 2 days & 3 nights and I couldn't fault it, the food was great, the rooms were clean and tidy and very comfortable, The staff were very attentive and we didn't have to wait for anything. When we went down for our meals we were served straight away and it came out piping hot. This was our first trip to Eastbourne and I think if we went there again we would use this hotel.When we got to the hotel there was scaffolding up but that didn't detract from the great service we recieved.

I've been to the Afton Hotel a couple of times for various meetings/networking events and have been pleasantly surprised by the friendly service, clean well maintained décor and atmosphere.
Music and food was good and bar prices were very good. I usually expect hotel bar prices to be more expensive that pubs/clubs but this wasn't the case.
I've yet to stay there as I live locally but I will definitely recommend them to friends and family.

Thank you to Marco and the team at the Afton Hotel.
Once again when thebestof has called on you to host one of our events this time for our valued member awards evening you came through as always.
I was pleased that the room was exactly as I requested, that the air con was on to keep guests comfortable and of course being on hand should I need anything.
The slogan we take fun seriously is just perfect, thanks a million.

Having used this hotel for a number of years now for the HMS Protector Association mini reunions, it just gets better! Comfortable clean rooms with all the courtesy items replaced daily. Good plentiful food served by efficient and friendly staff in the air conditioned dining room, added to this the hotel is situated in a great location for all amenities and main town centre shopping (for the ladies that do) Thanks to the management and staff for providing us with another memorable weekend we have booked for next year already.

Marco and team hosted a 3 course fundraising dinner for +100 people, and did an outstanding job!
The bar and waiting staff were friendly and very efficient, and the Management kept a watchful eye making sure everything ran smoothly all night.
A great venue, fantastic food and good hospitality. Would recommend them for events without hesitation.

the afton is a frendly hotal.good food and service.meal always hot and on time,clean but some parts a little tired,the only problem was its opposite the pier and on certain nights of the week becomes a nightclub so can be noisy.

This was our second trip to the Afton and we found it had improved on its food quite considerably. It was ALWAYS hot and plentiful with a selective menu. The waitressess were quick and not left us waiting between courses.
Our room was cleaned daily and the room maid very helpful by making our beds each day. She too was very pleasant
Reception staff was pleasant and helpful. I had occasion to visit the local surgery Jason, the manager, phoned the locol GP for an appointment and booked a taxi.
The hotel had put on a raffle for Tickets as VIP guests of the Aero club for the Air Show and we were fortunate to have those tickets. We enjoyed our week greatly and look forward to our return.
