I stayed for 4 nights. Great service from all staff. I left my phone charger in my room when I left yesterday and they said they would post it on to me. Excellent breakfast and when they have enough guests, they also offer evening meal.
No special frills, but I don't need a jacuzzi nor massage.

Booked a last minute stay and couldn't be happier with what we had and what we paid. Less than £30 for 2 adults, one night.
Location is brilliant, right opposite pier and parking outside cost £1. Short walk to shops and bars.
Our room was ground floor and although we were kinda under the stairs noise was minimal. We obviously could hear people walking up and down but as hotel was quiet it wasn't a problem. Room was big and really clean. Beds weren't so comfortable but there's nothing like your own bed anyway and for one or 2 nights it would be fine.
Gutted that pier wasn't open in evening as wanted to go to jazz bar for dinner and drinks but that wasn't hotels fault.
Would recommend and will definitely stay again.

The Location is perfect , right opp the Pier and just 5mins walk from town centre .The room was large and chairs to sit on plus settee no just on bed like so many other hotels .Good shower but just needs a bit of TLC on tiles. Food was what you would expect from a budget hotel not much choice but tasted ok. The staff were very good Happy and Polite.

Lovely position right by the pier. Room was big enough for the three of us to be comfortable. Staff were very helpful even if the lady at breakfast was rushed off her feet, she did well to keep up. We did end up waiting for the lift a couple of times but that was breakfast time and we were in the basement breakfast room. The cost was amazingly cheap and we expected the hotel to be so too but it was a very pleasant surprise and we enjoyed our stay very much.

Fairly cheap and cheerful in an excellent location. Dreadful shower though (very poor pressure) and our room was extremely dated decor wise with very thin walls. Friendly staff, so overall a positive experience but could have been slightly better.

Pleasant staff, great location and reasonably priced. Rooms were clean and sufficient for my needs as a business traveler and perhaps what I should expect from two star hotel.
A slight negative in that my TV wouldn't switch on which I solved by asking for some new batteries for the controller at reception. This was taken care of straight away and these things happen.
One thing that does need addressing is the shower and the plumbing. My shower wasn't any where near powerful enough and this might be due to the shower head needing replacing or the water pressure to that room not being good enough. This was raised at reception and maintenance were due to visit but that didn't happen. The water in the shower tray also took a good while to drain away so the hotel do need to take a look at the plumbing. I think I was in room 312.
Other than that a good experience and I would stay there again for the next phase of my business trip this year.

We loved this place. Would give it 5 stars except for the rather thin walls and the shower was not much more than a trickle. It was spotlessly clean and the staff were very friendly. Great position and we could park very close on the road for £1 a day. We'd definitely go back. Fantastic value

We got a very cheap deal online. £37 For the night. Staff were very friendly and the room was spotlessly clean. Right opposite the pier. You could get a nice sea view if you payed extra. The stairwell to the upstears rooms was in our bedroom so it was quite noisy but you get what you pay for. We enjoyed our stay thank you

Nice Hotel. Looks better in the communal areas than it does in the rooms. The rooms need a refurb as they're bit shabby looking.
Nice selection of beers ales, & spirits at Hotel Bar. Good Prices.
Receptionists were very helpful & friendly.
The downside of my stay was, One of the Waitress' s were incredibly rude to me & the cooked breakfast was barely warm.
Overall it wasn't too bad. As I only booked it for a mini break I stayed for 4 nights. It was very cheap to book via Expedia.
The Afton Hotel is nicely located on Eastbourne Seafront just walking distance to the pier & the shops.. Would I stay here again? Probably not. But certainly a mixed experience....

This was a wonderful hotel - typical seaside hotel. The staff were very friendly when we booked in and the rooms were clean and pleasant. Plenty of wardrobe and drawer space, tea and coffee making facilities etc.
I could lay on the bed and see the sea which was lovely. My only criticism is that we checked out before reception opened at 8am and there was nowhere to leave the key. I didn't want to leave it on the counter and so I ended up throwing it onto the receptionists chair as it wouldn't be able to be reached by anyone other than staff. We didn't know the night before that we were planning to leave as early as we did and so hadn't asked the previous evening what to do when checking out and reception not open.
All in all it was a lovely hotel in a very handy location - near the seafront and the shopping centres.

Good location. Friendly staff. Clean room. Plenty of restaurants around. However thin wall and can hear noises from the next room and corridor. Housekeeping can be improved, as the bins weren't cleaned the next day and fresh towels weren't resupplied.

Nice hotel, close to the pier. We had a nice view, and the room was decent. The breakfast was nice, had a full English. Partner asked for no mushrooms, they gave it anyway (bad if it was an allergy).

I took advantage of a wowcher deal for two nights at the Afton Hotel. I found the staff very friendly, cheerful and helpful and my room was comfortable with everything I needed and had a good view of the pier from the window. The hotel supplies parking permits for only £1 a day, which were very useful, and as part of the deal a voucher for a free drink in the hotel bar- most welcome! The breakfast was good too.
Overall, I enjoyed my visit and would certainly stay at the Afton again.

Came here on a Wowcher deal so was great value for money. Warm and friendly place with great staff, we even had a sea view room. Slight problem with breakfast on day 2, but lovely waitress sorted it out. Well worth a stay as right next to the pier.

Hi I am here for a Monday
to Friday coach holiday and I am very disappointed to say the least. I have a faulty shower head an old chest of drawers that has been badly.painted. There is a wall light where the fitting is rusty ! There is no light working above the athroom sink, and I'm sure my room used to be a broom cupboard ! I occupy a single room that would not have room for a other bed yet I am.paying a single supplement ! We are limited to 2 towels per day and I have had to beg to get the shower head replaced and three days into my break it is still not functional. Restaurant service is abysmal, poor quality food, and general chaos. There is also nowhere near enough staff to cope with the coach parties here this week. A most disappointing experience and would not recommend...

Good food, considering they were catering for such a large number of patrons (work Xmas party night) Service was a bit slow, but understandable given the sheer number of diners. It was rather chilly in the basement function room, but the excellent DJ got everyone dancing which warmed things up a bit.

Reasonable value, let down by room being too warm. The room had an excellent view of the pier. Breakfast could improve as eggs overcooked on more than one occasion.

The staff were attentive and efficient. The room was nice and clean. The beds were made and the towels changed daily. Finally the shower was excellent.

Nice, clean hotel adjacent to Eastbourne pier. WiFi in lounge only, buffet breakfast was a good price for what you can get. Lift to the rooms but stairs to restaurant.
