Fantastic hotel. It's in a prime location for the beach and only a short distance to Thev Beacon shopping centre. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful. My room was spotlessly clean, comfortable and spacious. The bathroom was supplied with soap and bath wash. Similarly the bathroom was clean and adequately supplied with loo paper. The in room tv was big and on a good location, offering me the chance to view tv whilst in bed. Tea and coffee making facilities were plentiful supplied with milk, tea and coffee. Fabulous stay!! Will definitely be booking again soon!!

Visited this budget ,no frills hotel for two nights over the hot & sunny August bank holiday. The hotel is well situated right opposite the pier and just a two minute walk to the beach.
We were lucky and managed to find a parking space right outside the hotel.
Reception staff were very welcoming and room was ready early which was a bonus.
The room was basic, the bathroom adequate. Everything was clean, the beds comfy and the sash window was opened wide as it was very warm!
We asked for and received straight away, a bath mat, an extra towel and a fan for the night time as even with the window wide open it was very stuffy at night. There was no late night noise, and we had good night's sleep!
We didn't eat at the hotel, there are lots of cafes restaurants & pubs within a short walk and indeed along the promenade.
All in all good value for money.

Had a lovely couple of days at The Afton Hotel. Delicious breakfast. The proprietor and staff were very friendly and helpful. The proprietor is very happy to look up anything you want to know, we needed bus information.
Our room, although quite small, was adequate and the king size bed was extremely comfortable.
The hotel is very well situated, right opposite the pier, and near all the local shops and restaurants.
Look forward to staying at The Afton again soon.

Location excellent, staff helpful and friendly, food good choice and well cooked, has lift to all floors. You do however have to go up steps to get into the hotel. Bed linen and towels clean on arrival. Drinks at the bar reasonable prices. However the decor and net curtains need some TLC. Overall good value for money.

I've been following Massilia Bay on Facebook for a while and their food has been catching my eye. The mussels appeared in my feed earlier this week and looked too good to ignore, so tonight I finally gave them a try for myself.
I'm pleased to say they completely lived up to expectations. Fresh, full of flavour and absolutely delicious. It's always nice when something looks great online and is every bit as good when it arrives at the table. I'll definitely be back to work my way through a few more dishes on the menu.

Popped in after a walk along the beach. Lovely friendly service. Went for the muscles and they were super fresh and delicious. Had a naughty dessert of brownie and ice cream which was yummy. Will be back for sure

In August 2019, 2Opinion said about Airbourne, Eastbourne International Airshow
Once a year event. For Aircraft/Forces followers, this is heaven. For others, it's an exciting and different day out. Like any Air Show, there are loads of interesting side shows, stalls and Forces connections. What makes Airbourne different is that it's FREE!, it's on the promenacce by the Pier and all the action takes place out to sea - where everyone can see the planes and helicopters, the parachutists and the Lifeboats. Great way to spend a day. Entrance costs NOTHING! Great for family entertainment.

In August 2019, Rogsim said about Airbourne, Eastbourne International Airshow
A free event, reliant on donations from visitors to keep the show on the road. Plenty of space either on the beach between the wish tower and pier, or promenade. Generally flying is between 1pm and 5pm'ish. It is weather depedant since some aircraft come from Europe. Normally a parachute display, vintage and modern aircraft, including the thunderous Typhoon jet, which roars in at 600mph, and pulls away, so the full force is felt by the public, just incredible. Normall early/mid August Also market stalls and eateries.
