Another lovely stay at the Afton
Pretty hotel, not too big and very comfortable and spotlessly clean. Perfect location. Staff friendly and helpful.

A welcoming 3 star hotel in a handy location
I was expecting a 3 star hotel on tbe seafront opposite the pier and that's what I got. It was a great location for walking the dog along the Marine Parade. I also loved the easy access to all the central shops, cafes and restaurants. The charity shops in Esstbourne are fabulous! The family that runs the hotel also couldn' t have been kinder and more accommodating.
The are is not safe. Very run down, lots of homeless people, inebriated people and on substances on the streets. You see streetwalkers, drug deals and common asssults. I was not harassed apart from when I intervened to stop a man assaulting a woman. He then verbally harassed me, a couple of shopkeepers backed me up.

Comfortable room , great location , staff helpful and great view to seafront .
Location wise very good , right in the centre of Eastbourne, clean room , good amenities .
Heating could have been on in the room prior to our arrival so it was nice and toasty as it was winter and very cold .

A Family Run Feel.
The Afton is always my first choice of hotels in Eastbourne now. Over the years, I've stayed in most of them along the front, and The Afton is my favourite.
The location is very central, the rooms are always clean and comfortable. And the staff are always courteous and helpful. Can't think of a single thing.

A pleasant stay on Eastbourn Seafront
We returned to the hotel on Eastbourne seafront, situated directly opposite the pier, after two years and were once again impressed by the overall experience. We both appreciate the hotel’s charm and particularly enjoy spending time playing pool in the bar.
The bed was comfortable and warm; however, the pillows could have been of better quality. This time, we did not have a balcony with a sea view. Those rooms feel noticeably more spacious compared to the one we stayed in on this occasion.
The shower pressure in this room was somewhat weak, though the temperature was excellent, allowing me to enjoy the extra hot shower I prefer.
Overall, our stay was very pleasant, but I will be opting for a room with a balcony and sea view for a more spacious experience next time
