The reception staff were really friendly and welcoming. I had a Juliette balcony with sea views and views of the pier. Short walk from pubs, cafes and shops. Lovely king-sized bed and snow white bedding. All in all a very pleasant stay.
Only one thing. Would have liked a rail in the shower to hold onto and a bath mat. Being elderly I would have felt safer.

Location was excellent.
Facilities were adequate for purpose of stay (exc breakfast)
Hotel rung me at 20.00 when I hadn't yet checked in.
There is a beautiful picture of Cuckmere Haven and the Seven Sisters in my room. Really did need photo ID to check in.
Check in process was a little delayed and staff could be more informative about the delay.
There were no breakfast facilities.

Close to the beach and town centre(perfect location) and great value for money, well recommended 👌
My room was a-little on the small side and no breakfast options, but for the overall price and service I cannot complain

A cosy hotel close to the pier and seafront. This was the second stay for me at the Afton.

We stayed at this hotel as we won a voucher and this was the only hotel to accept it in the area. We stayed in room 114 and feel that 3/5 is generous. Communication when booking was very delayed, the room was very tired but had everything needed. The shower head needs Limescale remover, toilet needs fixing to the floor / wall as moved every time it was used. Only 1 towel each, and no floor towel or hand towel provided - we took our own bathrobes so this wasn’t a huge problem for us but was disappointing, the mattress was very soft and the springs had gone, but more worryingly there were no mattress or pillow protectors 🤢 our room did have a balcony which you could sit out on and had a nice view of the pier, the building in front burnt down 3 years ago and there’s still scaffolding up protecting the ruins. This has opened up the view a bit more and sunrise on the day we left was lovely. Our room had doors that opened out onto the balcony which I loved. It is quite noisy being by the road and some of the guests that were staying there while we were there were annoying and loud during the night but this isn’t the hotels fault!
Communal spaces were not inviting or even looked open to use including the bar!
Can’t comment on breakfast as it wasn’t available when we stayed but this was advised at booking and we quite enjoyed going for a walk and choosing somewhere to eat and highly recommend Nicolettas 2 min walk behind the hotel and the Beach Deck 20 min walk out of the hotel to the left.
The location is good as you’re very central but the clock on the pier ringing every 15 minutes 8am-11pm is annoying.
Parking permit (£2 per day) outside the hotel is good.
Behind the hotel is a good selection of eateries and the Beacon shopping centre.
Overall not bad and would probably come back if these small issues were fixed

Great and central location, right by the pier yet still peaceful and quiet.
Staff were very communitative, helpful and friendly. Everything was very straightforward.
Rooms were basic but still good, with everything you need. The hotel was good for a cheap short stay.
