The Afton Hotel
Latest Reviews
It's pier adjacent location is beautiful, it's staff wonderful, and the owners genuinely care about giving you an enjoyable and affordable stay. I'd highly recommend The Afton to anyone looking for a seaside mini-break or use of their function rooms. I've stayed both to take advantage of the lovely scenery on the downs, and to attend a wedding, both stays were excellent. The wedding in particular was lovely and had a quality to it, you wouldn't expect of a 2* hotel.

Stayed for 4 days half board in Sept with Just Go holidays. Accommodation food and staff were all first class. They really went out of their way to make us welcome. 3 course dinners and full english breakfast were all served at the table piping hot. For a budget Hotel look no further, you won't be dissappointed.

We recently stayed at the Afton for a 4 night break. We had not planned to stay and had originally booked at another Eastbourne Hotel. On arrival we were told that we had been transferred to the Afton because of problems with our room. This turned out to be a stroke of luck. We ended up having the best short break we have ever had. The staff were welcoming, warm and friendly. Our room was spacious with a large en suite. It was clean and comfortable. The food and service in the restaurant was excellent. Nothing was too much trouble for the serving staff. The general feel of the hotel was relaxed and friendly. We have recommended it to friends and family and will definitely be back. For the money it surpassed all expectations.

The hotel staff, rooms and meals were great. Parking was a trial! It was unfortunate there was a very noisy party held in the basement restaurant. So a quite drink in the bar was out..we were glad we had a room at the back which dulled most of the noisy. At breakfast in the basement where the previous nights party was held, the floor was sticky, mucky and filthy from the night before...how long does it take to hoover and mop!To make things worse the tables were being relaid for lunch.

We recently had our 5th short break this year at the Afton hotel. Each time the staff have been friendly, helpful and courteous. We booked half board again, and the evening meals were hot and tasty, as were the breakfasts. The position of the Afton is ideal as within walking distance of most of the attractions. Hope to fit another break in before it gets too cold.

We stayed at the Afton in connection with our wedding reception which was also held at the hotel. From the first time we visited to make enquiries to the moment we left the day after our reception the one thing that shone through was the professionalism and friendliness of every member of staff we met.
The hotel was clean, the food was good, bar prices were very reasonable and everyone had a great time. The rooms weren't huge, but again were clean, functional and with a comfortable bed and great views from the room we had.
In summary it is very easy to forget this is a two star hotel and we are already thinking of the next occasion we could celebrate at the Afton.

The hotel is opposite the pier making it a good base for your seaside holiday. The staff in the hotel are very friendly and helpful.
The rooms are not to small and have your basic requirements which are needed as well as WiFi coverage in the rooms. The front rooms of the hotel have good views of the pier and the sea. There can be a bit of noise from the street at night due to people leaving the bars at the pier.
The Hotel has a big bar area and a nice sunny lounge with views of the pier. As the hotel has coach parties the breakfast can be busy.

A lovely well decorated budget hotel. Only concern during our stay was that the fire extinguisher by the lift on the third floor was out of pressure, in addition to this stairs were not that well sign posted. due to the fire risk in hotels this did concern me.
Everything else was perfect

Our stay at the Afton was very welcoming, thanks to a very pleasant group of staff they have there.
Our first stay in a 'dog friendly' hotel which was just that - staff and residents made us feel very at home.
I will certainly recommend to others.

only an overnight stay. Found the hotel just two minutes from the seafront. Rooms small but very clean and beds very comfortable with lovely cotton sheets. Breakfast was nice and hot. Staff very friendly and helpful. Also parking is a nightmare but the hotel offers an parking ticket at a huge discount. Would recommed this hotel.

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
