Great location opposite the pier. Nice big double room excellent value for money. Decent sized tv in the room and nice shower facilities. Would book again if going for a break away to Eastbourne. Thank you

Very happy with entire experience at the Afton Hotel. Would definitely use again if visiting Eastbourne. Parking was the only hiccup as not always possible to park close to the hotel but was helped by the parking voucher provided for£1

The hotel is in a great location right on the seafront, helpful and welcoming reception staff. The facilities are basic but overall great value for money. The only down side was the poor breakfast service.

My boyfriend and I spent 4 nights here over valentines.
The hotel itself was ok, as was the room, it was quite dated and small but had a lovely balcony overlooking the pier. However, the bed was very uncomfortable and lumpy, and the pillows were thin and hard , perhaps that’s personal preference but I did not sleep well at all.
The room does not have double glazing so you can hear a lot of noise. I feel that as the building is fairly old that is not something that’s easily changed.
Parking was a bit of an issue but the hotel provides a permit for £1 a day so it’s quite a bargain.
The hotel and room were both clean apart from the toilet brush! The housekeepers came daily and we were well stocked in tea and coffee.
It’s in a fantastic location and close to everything so that was a plus.
Overall it was ok, I doubt I would go back . It was just too dated and tired for me . I do feel it’s value for money for some aspects especially the balcony, view and location.
It could do with some serious updating though were possible considering the age of the building.

Just back from 2 nights stay, we had a fabulous view right over the pier and sea and couldn't have asked for a better view. Yes, the hotel needs a bit of tlc, the water dribbled out of the shower and the bed was very hard (but that's personal preference) but, hubby and I wanted a last minute, cheap break and all we really wanted was a clean room, good breakfast and to be centrally located - we got all 3 of these with a bonus of a super view and very friendly,helpful staff. To be honest, at a price of £65 for both of us for 2 nights, including an alocoholic drink each, we didn't expect too much - our expectations were exceeded.

A warm welcome from the volunteers and an entertaining performance. This is how theatre should be. Step back in time.

Still cant believe we had the chance to see this amazing show in a small theatre in Eastbourne.I notice that it is now being played at some much larger venues in the UK if you get a chance to see it grap it with both hands!!!!

In desperate need of renovation. Beautiful Victorian building in its hey day but now the seats are threadbare ( although
Comfy). The staff were courteous and efficient.
