My wife and I have stayed here before and have also popped in when not staying and have always enjoyed ourselves. Staff very friendly, rooms clean and comfortable, and a good breakfast in the morning. Bar prices are better than most of the local pubs. The only problem was not no fault of the hotel but that of the bar opposite underneath the Pier Hotel, there was noise, shouting, fighting, broken bottles until gone 3am. The place should have had a doorman or closed at 11pm. What a shame that we won't be staying here again due to something else. Maybe if we had a back room with no outlook would have been better. What a bloody shame.

This booking was made very late so the hotels we'd normally use in Eastbourne were full. We'd usually look for 3 or 4 star establishments - but the Afton offered a very reasonable two star rate so we took it for one of us staying in a single room. I'm often critical of very small single rooms but the Afton had allocated a twin anyway for which much thanks. Bearing in mind that this is a two star hotel, the room size was better than many higher graded places and had a partial view to the pier and sea. Linen was fresh and a tea and coffee tray was welcome albeit overall the room decor was a little tired. The shower was effective although the bathroom was also in need of some TLC. Breakfast was basic but sufficient with hot food served to order. Both the breakfast room (which seems also to be an entertainment space and perhaps restaurant) and the ground floor lounge bar are very large areas and therefore rather soulless. It's notable, however, that improvements seem to be underway because new carpets were laid in the lounge. If the rest of the hotel also receives a bit more care and attention it could become a reasonable little stopping place.

Came back yesterday, after a 4 night stay, great food, lovely staff, (apart from one waitress who was very bossy) Luke the manager was very hands on, which I thought was great, he helped out in the restaurant, when our waitress was taken ill.
Good entertainment. Clean rooms, only complaint I have about the room is, the shower was a bit on the small size.
My friend and I will be going back, and have already recommended the hotel to two of our friends.
Look forward to seeing you all again soon.

Went to this hotel as one of a coach party. Although I expected a single room was allocated a double room which overlooked the pier. It was very clean and the breakfast and evening meals were good. The staff are friendly and the Manager was extremely pleasant and came onto the coach to welcome us.
New carpets had been fitted in the lounge and a pleasant place to relax overlooking the pier. The hotel is undergoing refurbishment. Hotel is located in a good position with bus stops across the road. Would certainly stop here again.

Rooms were clean and comfortable and the food was reasonable although you have to eat your breakfast within a one hour slot 8-9 am. Have to say the worst part was the extreme lack of parking. Whilst you bought a voucher from the hotel for more than a reasonable £1 just no where to park. Street parking on a first come first served basis. Once parking found you are afraid to move your car during the day to go anywhere for fear of not finding a space when you get back. Unlikely to return

Booked a triple room which was clean and comfortable. The overall feeling however, was dated and drab. Breakfast was only between 8-9 and was poorly organised, food undercooked and very slow service. The staff were very friendly however.

This is a typical budget hotel aimed predominantly at "the grey pound".The exterior has a somewhat tired look but the interior has some comfortable lounge spaces overlooking the promenade and sea. There is a substantial set breakfast and an adequate evening meal although heartier appetites will require a snack in late evening. All members of staff were immaculate, polite and most helpful. A personal niggle was the lack of wi-fi in the bedrooms. Provision in lounges only is not sufficient in this day and age.

Thank you for beautiful room with sea view :) we enjoyed the stay a lot :)
room was simple but clean, perfect for the price you pay i would really recommend it taking into consideration that it is based in central of the city

An overnight stay to go to the theatre. The hotel is on the seafront near to everything, except parking but then the Victorians didn't have cars! Room are basic but ensuite, comfy, quiet and suited our purposes at a reasonable price.
