What can I say,stayed 7 nights at this lovely hotel,we had a first class room with flat screen tv and en-suite bathroom ,the room had a balcony overlooking the pier the perect location for us with lots to see and do all week including the airshow. The room was clean and comfortable,a fantastic cleaner who kept the room spotless as well as being a very pleasant girl
The hotel is very well managed with friendly and helpful staff on reception, the waiter we had serving us went out of is way to please everybody.
The meals were very well prepared and delicious with a meat,fish and vegetarian option.
Nightly entertainment as well as free WiFi downstairs.
We would definately use this hotel again Top Marks and Thank you ALL for a very pleasant stay.

Just returned from another stay at the Afton, I think this was our 3rd stay so far this year. We were booked in by the owner, a charming man he even offered to move the hotel's van so we could park in his space. As usual all the staff were polite and friendly. We usually book for the evening meal too, and were not disappointed a good choice for starters, main and dessert.
Breakfast was good too. Entertainment in the hotel last night was excellent, we really enjoyed it. Hopefully our next stay at the Afton will incorporate a Monday night so we can hear the singer/guitar player again. Thank you for another great stay, keep up the good work how you manage to keep your standards up on such reasonable rates is brilliant. Hopefully see you again soon

I stayed as part of a bowls tour and when we arrived the cases were unloaded and put in our room whilst we had a much needed drink in the bar. The manager (Jason) was brilliant and when we mentioned the shower head was cracked he got maintenance to change it straight away. The menu had a good variety and our food was hot, well prepared and served quickly. Our waiter (Steve) was great and very efficient. Bar prices no higher than most nearby pubs. The room was clean and tidy and had everything that would be expected.
The Afton is well placed for all the local amenities and buses run regularly from across the road (even though we didn't get time to take advantage of them).
Overall, the stay was very enjoyable and I'd like to compliment your staff for doing such a great job.

Stayed recently as part of a group booking . Room on 3rd floor with sea view,room was clean and tidy, shower had poor flow but believe it is work in progress, all staff were pleasant and friendly, food was good with plenty of variation.
Position of hotel is excellent , easy access to town centre , pier,bus to Beachy head etc.
missed most of evening entertainment as within walking distance of decent pubs and theatres , decent bar area and lounges in the hotel with reasonable drink prices
All of group enjoyed the stay and would happily return.

Just needed one nights accommodation for a girlie shopping and site seeing trip (herstmonceux castle - beautiful grounds ) and this was reasonable enough. I did find it cheaper to book direct with the hotel paying £70 for a twin with breakfast, rather than £68.00 for room only. room was comfortable and clean but very small, bathroom well let's just say if your over 14 stone and 5 ft 10 ask for a bigger bathroom as quiet a squeeze to get in the shower as you need to get in from an angle! Very friendly staff always had a smile. The only few down sides were the noise of party goers in the street below, the chatting at 4:30 am from the room next door and a lack of choice of hot food.... Come on it's not a full English without mushrooms and hash browns right! But what we did have was very good.

we stayed at the afton for 3 nights recently and the hotel was spotless, the room had a balcony overlooking the pier and had a comfy bed , nice shower and everything you may need. the staff were very polite and nothing was too much trouble for them, breakfast was loverly and entertainment was ok, we are retired and were on the 1st floor but as the hotel has a lift this was not a problem. if you stay here see the reception to get parking permits which last from 11 am to 11 am next day and only cost a £1 a day. all in all great value for money and nice people.

Had a Christmas Party night. Food was very average. Staff did have a pleasant attitude though. Drinks not expensive. Overall Hotel appears not to have been updated for 30 years. Great lo9cation right on seafront though if staying overnight.

Having had several business trips to Eastbourne over the past year and having previously tried several other local hotels with mixed (often terrible experiences), I cannot recommend the Afton hotel enough. Clean rooms, exceptionally helpful and cheerful staff and very accomodating management have made each successive stay very pleasant. Situated on the front opposite the pier and close to all ammenities and shopping areas makes the location perfect. The rooms are of a good size and the housekeeping staff very friendly with a real 'happy to help' attitude. From the first stay, as a guest I was made to feel very welcome and it was nice to meet so many friendly acquaintances in the relaxed bar areas and over the well provided breakfasts and dinners. To sum up: The Afton is a gem of a hotel with a great 'family run' feel, where each guest is most certainly looked after - good facilities with a high level of cleanliness and friendliness! Highly recommended and thank you to all who made my stay so pleasurable and comfortable.
I look forward to visiting again in the future sometime (wirgmst)!!
