My partner booked us in for one night just a weekend break away from London. Well it was well worth it, staff were lovely and room just right. Clean and comfortable. The hotel is just opposite the pier and in walking distance to everything. They also gave us a welcome drink.

We have been staying at this hotel for almost a week and it has been great. The staff are friendly and accommodating. The rooms are clean and actually resemble the pictures on the website which is very much appreciated. I would definitely recommend.

We got a Wowcher deal for two night including breakfast for £70 for two people so were not excepting much. To be fair the room was basic but clean and the hotel was fine for what we paid. However when checking in we saw a charge of £160 which I think should have been full price..:: VERY expensive. The hotel needed a face lift and decoration but as we got such a good deal we were not bothered by this. Breakfast again was ok as excepted from a budget hotel. If we had this deal again based on location etc we would return but not at full price.

We stayed here for three days during the mini heatwave. Huge room with king size bed. Good plentiful cooked breakfast. Entertainment in the evenings. What's not to like. Only problem was finding a parking space nearby.

Hotel is In a great location but it is very dated . Some of the staff management wasn't helpful at all. Rooms are small and hot but we did have a nice view. Breakfast wasn't nice at all , eggs solid and no pastries of any kind and no one was about to clean up etc. We were also told we were upgraded to a double room but we never received this . I wouldn't come back to stay again.

I wasn;t over impressed with this hotel, its quite a old fashioned type of place. The room was ok but got quite a draft coming in from a small balcony door with rotten wood. The en suite was so small to sit on toilet you were sitting with toilet roll dispenser in your side and toilet on top of a small shower. had kettle but nothing else downstairs was okay with large screen telly. there was some entertainment but mainly for older people. Plus we had to put 30 pound on credit card for a damage deposit just for one night. I don't think I would stay here again even though it has a good position

I stayed at this hotel during the bank holiday period just gone and I can honestly say it was a very pleasant stay. the hotel is a little dated but it makes up for it by its location as it is in a prime location of Eastbourne, directly facing the Eastbourne Pier. I met some of the lovely staff at the hotel which made my stay very enjoyable, specially the lady at the reception (Angie) who was very helpful with top tips and hints around Eastbourne and always had a big smile on. I would certainly recommend staying here and would come back if I were to visit Eastbourne again.

I stayed here for two nights mid-week and absolutely loved it. Fantastic location, clean, well-equipped rooms, and friendly, helpful staff. Nothing was toouch trouble for anyone (not that I asked for much.)
I don't understand the negative reviews. For what I paid, I was astonished at how good it is. My room seemed spotlessly clean to me. People who go around inspecting every corner to find a speck of dust need to get a life. Yes, the hotel is a bit dated but so is my mum's house and I still go and stay with her. Everything works as it should and I imagine the amazing staff would fall over themselves to put it right if something didn't work.
OK there's no Wi-Fi in the bedrooms, but what do you need that for? I sat in the lovely lounge, with a view of the sea, for an hour and sent a few emails when I needed to.
I loved this hotel and will definitely be back. It was a great base for exploring what the area has to offer. Thank you Afton Hotel!

Just returned from a weekend break at the afton, havent been here for a while but have been here many many times before, firstly its under new management and it shows, staff situation seems very minimal there was only two people on the breakfast shift in tge morning, and everyone seems so young, my biggest moan is that over the whole weekend no matter how many times we walked through tge bar and lounge area never saw ONE!! Person having a drink or just sitting chilling reading a newspaper it was never like this it always had a good vibe and felt very welcoming, you could here a pin drop in there it was that quiet, there was no evening entertainment which was very unusual you had to go elswhere in the evening to have a drink ( lost a lot of money over the bank holiday) all you want to do after a long day out is to go downstairs and relax with a drink and a bit of music, ive got to say i think there would be more going on in a morgue than here!!! Rooms very clean but could do with a much lighter duvet in the summer months we was in a very very small room on the top floor it was like an oven, lovely new shower but had to run around in it to get wet pressure so bad, it felt more like a budget stopover hotel rather than a holiday hotel like it used to be.

You have to be aware of what you have booked : 1 room in a 2 stars hotel so you get the confort of a 2 stars.
I ranked 3 stars but it deserves 2, the only reason is the price and the very good location (just in front of the Eastbourne pier).
Except that I was disappointed :
- the room wasn’t very clean (dust, window very dirty)
- very noisy in the street and very bad insulation
- very clear curtain : you get the light in the room at 4am
- shower in bad condition
I believe the quality could be improved easily and quickly, what a shame.
But once again : don’t forget the price in comparaison with others hotel.
If you are not very demanding and here just for 1 or 2 nights, I would recommend this place.
