Fantastic venue, great show and good value. The venue is a charitable organisation and run by volunteers.
Very impressed with the service...will be back soon.

In January 2014, Coventryrambler said about The Afton Hotel
76 Coventry CHA Rambling Club members enjoyed a five nights, attractively priced stay at this excellent hotel in January 2014. Everyone agreed their bedrooms were nicely furnished and warm with plenty of hot water in their bathrooms. All too often in some hotels we have stayed in some of our members have enjoyed plenty of hot water whilst others have had just a trickle. The public rooms were also nicely furnished, clean and warm. We were very pleased with the food. There was a reasonable selection on the menu for breakfast and dinner. It was served fresh and hot, with none of our large party having to wait for their food thanks to the efficient waiters. They even set aside a room with buckets and brushes to clean our muddy boots with; it was just one of the many things the hotel did to make our stay as welcome and as friendly as possible. We can recommend this well run hotel to any rambling group looking to stay in Eastbourne. Brian Keates, Honorary Secretary.

Myself and 15 friends stayed at the Afton Hotel 24th-26th January for a weekend away in Eastbourne to meet up with some family and friends. What a great hotel to stay at and i couldn't believe it's only a 2 star!!! It's yards from the seafront and pier, very central, what a superb location. The staff were fantastic, all very friendly and helpful. Jason and everyone looked after us the whole weekend. Very clean, the rooms were suberb, breakfast was excellent and the bar area was great to sit in and enjoy a drink. All of the group thought the same as myself and we got a great deal for the weekend as well. Would not hesitate to recommend the Afton Hotel to others and will certainly be back down to stay. Great place!!!!!!

I needed a hotel in Eastbourne for 1 night in February. Was on a budget. Booked a single room for £30 B&B. Got to hotel efficient and friendly check in. Room 101 had twin beds, was freshly decorated and was very clean. Furniture was a bit ordinary and cheap looking but was in good condition. Pleanty desk space for lap top. Good clean modern bathroom with good shower. soap but no shampoos etc. Reception helpful about restaurants nearby. Hotel caters for coach parties and had one in being entertained by a singer when I came back in the evening. Hotel bar OK.
Very good breakfast with waitress service in the basement dining room. EXCELLENT VALUE>

I booked my wedding reception here for the day and evening on the 13th Feb.There were very professional and well organized.Their made my day really special from the start with the well dressed smartly turned out friendly staff and the beautiful decorated room. The food was excellent with lovely menu and plenty for everyone. and the wine was excellent.The evening buffet was also excellent and there was a good selection and again plenty of food.We can,t thank Jason enough for all he done to make my wedding day so lovely and special.I only wish we could have spent the night here as honeymoon hotel was a bit of let down as had a lot to live up to.I would recommend this hotel to anyone planning to hold a special occasion as it is good value for money and has fantastic staff and the venue is lovely and clean

One of my top tips has always been to outsource what you can and having asked Ditzy Media to create some content for me. it allowed me to focus on other elements of the social media campaign instead of trying to think of the right words to use in posts...
Thank you for making my list easier!

This is the second time myself and my mum have stayed at the Afton Hotel. We took my daughter and her friend this time and had a lovely weekend. The room was clean with plenty of tea and coffee, a TV and a hot shower. I normally end up with a bad back when staying in hotels but this one was very comfortable.
The staff were lovely and couldn't do enough for you. The lady on reception who also worked behind the bar was polite and friendly. The lady who served breakfast (and also cleaned the rooms) was always happy and chatty and found it funny that the kids wanted to sit at a different table to us - nothing was a problem.
We will definitely be back.

The staff was very very nice. The location is absolutely amazing, just next to the pier and you've got a great view on the sea. It is quite older (some renovation would maybe be good) but a nice and cozy hotel.

My husband and I booked the Afton Hotel as a base whist we are exploring Eastbourne with the aim to move there. The location is right opposite the pier and central for most things. Parking along the front can sometimes be difficult but the hotel sells parking permits which costs £1 per day.
All the staff are pleasant and helpful. The lady on reception doubles up as bar staff and works very hard. The young man who took over from her was equally as good and dedicated to his work. The whole hotel is a little dated but is typically Victorian. Nevertheless, the hotel is clean and the décor adds to the charm.
Room overlooked the pier and the sun came flooding in every morning. Plenty of tea and coffee and hot shower. The bed was firm and comfortable.
There is a well stocked bar in the Reception area and lots of comfy sofas and chairs. I would have given 5 stars if the bar had remained open a little later than ten o'clock on Sunday!
Breakfast was perfectly adequate with cereals, full English, toast and tea or coffee.
On checking out we chatted with the owner Hany who was able to give us lots of tips of where to look for property in Eastbourne . Very helpful indeed.
All in all the stay at this hotel was better than I imagined it would be considering what we paid. Will definitely stay there again.
