Goed hotel, wel wat verouderd. Douches met een lekkere straal!
Mooie locatie vlak bij de pier.

Sehr abgewohntes, liebloses Hotel. Wer hier nicht schlafen muss, sollte es auch nicht tun. Wer doch keine andere Wahl hat, wird es auch überleben.

Een goede prijs kwaliteit verhouding. Direct gelegen aan de Pier. Enig nadeel is het parkeren

My family stayed at the Afton on the 28th September.for one night. We booked 2 rooms months before our stay for £114. The Hotel is opposite the pier and just off the sea front. When we arrived we were offered a parking permit for our stay for just £1 which allows you to park in the street on designated bays. We managed to park on the sea front near the hotel. The staff are very polite and helpful The rooms were comfortable with plenty of storage space. The breakfast in the morning cost £7 and is well worth it, after a good all English I asked for toast and it was serves in minutes. I would definitely stay here again.

We had a very nice room with seaview. Just a very short walk to the Pier. The staff was very friendly. If you are coming by car, you can by a parking ticket ( 1 £ a day) and you can park near the hotel. Nice pubs are nearby.

This hotel overall is not a bad choice for a short break in Eastbourne.
On a positive note it is perfectly located opposite the pier ,adjacent to the sea front.

It also has its own bar with plenty of seating space.

The room was quite small but clean and comfortable.

However, as others have mentioned , the walls are paper thin.

You can hear everything going on in neighbouring rooms , every word of phone conversations.

The other issue is the water pressure, basically there is hardly any.
The water from the sink is literally a trickle from the hot tap and the shower only a little better.

This hotel gives good value for money stayed in eastbourne roughly the same time in 2018 at a seafront hotel the price difference enormous the afton £500 for a seaview room for 7 days as against over £700 for the so called 3 star hotel. No comparison ell done Afton you may need a bit of a face lift but your service superb. We look forward to next year.

The Afton is a stones throw from the pier ( which in its self is excellent ) ,our room was facing the pier and the sea , it had a comfortable bed, en-suite shower room and a decent size t.v. Breakfast was faultless, i only had toast but my Wife had scrambled egg on toast which she said was lovely, the Full English Breakfasts that came out looked very appetising and the service very good. Highly recommend this esablishment.

Stayed for 1 night with my 15 year old daughters. Although only a 2 star hotel I thought it was perfectly fine for a night or 2. Our room was a good size family room, clean, comfortable beds and bathroom fine for what we needed. All I would say is if you want peace and quiet its probably not for you. Not hotels fault but our room was facing the busy street, even with windows shut it was noisy through the night. Who knew seagulls were up all night?! Only other issue is parking. Again not hotels fault but just giving a heads up. They give you a £1 parking permit for day, overnight till 11am, very good BUT Eastbourne is very busy in August and you have to find a space. We drove for over half an hour trying to find one, only then I managed to squeeze into a small space. Hopefully you'll have better luck!

Booked with Dunwoods Coaches. Only one problem was regulating heat of shower which management helped with. Otherwise lovely and clean, good food, pleasant staff who were kind and very helpful to me. Would definitely recommend, I’m looking to book again.

Found the lovely lady on reception Veronika very helpful and pleasant nothing a problem location is good and we got parked up with ease
Rooms are bit dated and walls thin but serve it purpose I think the only way this hotel is worth the cost we paid was location and friendly staff we cam across

We stayed there for four nights with the dog and it was ideal for a short break. Room absolutely spotless, large room with space for dog bed, reception extremely helpful, location perfect. Only blot was that housekeeping didn't service the room on the Saturday. But reception so helpful that it wasn't a problem and whole issue dealt with very well. I'd definitely return

This hotel is ideally situated opposite the pier and only a stone's throw from the shops and restaurants, and is probably cheaper than some of the surrounding larger hotels. We had booked for a Thursday night after visiting family in Kent, before a planned 3-day visit to Hastings. The room was fairly small but ok, no frills. There was a coach party in the hotel, which probably was the reason for the entertainment that was arranged that evening. Anyway, because of being let down by our Hastings hotel facilities, we returned for 2 more nights, just a little surprised at the big rise in price for the Saturday night when they had a private party (wedding?)

Brilliant Staff!
Clean and Comfortable.
The only complaint we can make is that our neighbours in room 211 made a constant racket and finally at 4ish this morning husband went to the reception area, where he rang the emergency number provided of which there was no reply. A bit worrying, really. In the end my husband knocked on our noisy neighbours door and asked them to turn their rather loud radio down!
Other than that we will definitely return!

Returned home yesterday after spending two nights at the Afton Hotel - what can I say?
Location is excellent and the parking permit for the grand total of £2.00 for 48 hours literally on the opposite side of the road to the entrance is simply amazing. Obviously East Sussex Council look after their hoteliers and help the visitors at the same time.
Our room was clean and comfortable, bed linen, towels spotless.
Our breakfast was hot, tasty and more than adequate.
Never having visited Eastbourne before I was so impressed with what the resort has to offer. It is our intention to return next year and this time with some friends,
Thank you Afton Hotel for a most enjoyable stay

For a 2 star hotel, this wasn't that bad at all with a lift to all floors. The only problem I found is that both entrances to the hotel are up steps and I am disabled. I had to leave my scooter outside as there are no men on duty during the day to help lift it up the stairs for me. I would say this hotel really isn't for disabled people. Lastly, I have to say there is a huge amount of Eastern Europeans here but a great bunch, helpful and polite and very respectful of the natives.

Me and my partner stayed here over the Easter Bank Holiday for a few days and it was perfect!
No it isn't a luxury 5 star hotel but thats not what we was looking for in Eastbourne. We wanted something cute, unique, on the seafront and clean. And it is exactly that! Loved the fact the rooms had a proper double bed because alot of hotels push 2 singles together which is annoying for couples. Flat screen TV. And it was spotless. Staff were friendly and helpful.
Few minors would be we stayed bed and breakfast and the breakfast wasn't great but the hotel was busy when we went so could of just been that. The showers water pressure isn't great.

We got this on a deal so it was such good value for money. I'm so wary when booking things that seem too good to be true but I'm so glad we did with this one and we will definitely be back!

Thanks for the lovely stay.
