I stayed here for one night only with my 5 year old son. All the reception staff we met were excellent and amazingly friendly and all interacted directly with my 5 year old son making him feel special. We arrived prior to our check in and left our bag and also used he luggage storage after checking out. Room was huge and although a bit dated was perfect for our one night stay. The price we paid was very cheap so had low expectations but they were proved wrong!! We didn't use the restaurant or bar so I can't comment on those but everything else was great and I'd have no hesitation in returning.

We couldn’t resist visiting this hotel for our anniversary due to it having the same name as the hotel where we got married in Birmingham. When we arrived, the road to the car park was closed - we had to go the wrong way up the one way street behind the hotel - probably best to double check if that’s still the case. It’s a shame you can’t book a car parking place in advance, thankfully we were lucky and got the last spot and we didn’t dare move it just in case there wasn’t any space when we returned.
Having told reception it was our anniversary, we were given a sea view which made our stay extra special. As others have said the front can be noisy, so we’d recommend bringing ear plugs, however apart from some very noisy revellers at 4.30am one morning, we didn’t find it a problem.
A combination of Brexit staff shortages, Covid and other cost cutting meant that the room wasn’t serviced during our stay unless you asked. To be quite honest we managed perfectly well without a daily visit. Fresh towels etc were on offer - there’s even still a hotel phone in the room if you haven’t got a mobile. Wifi is quick and worked very well in the room.
We were pleased to see that plastic was being saved as individual toiletries had been replaced with dispensers for soap and shower gel/shampoo. If measures like these keep the cost of staying there affordable and help combat climate change, then it’s a small price to pay.
Our tariff included a couple of evening meals which were served in the first part of the enormous dining room – the second part was used for breakfast. For good affordable food, with friendly and efficient service in a lovely setting, then it certainly ticked all the boxes. It’s the same menu as all of the hotels in this chain, but it was also nice to see a few specials were on offer.
Breakfast was as you would expect, served buffet style, except for tea/coffee which was brought to the table. All the regulars were there, and a few extras such as three fruit bowls with berries, fruit salad and mango - and with a bowl of yoghurt. There was even a separate table with gluten free cold foods. The pastries and fruit selection were particularly good.
For those who can’t use the stairs, the lifts can be a little rickety, and the one on the right is very small! If you’re claustrophobic, do make sure you use the one on the left. We were on the second floor and generally used the stairs.
Once again, Bespoke Hotels have provided us with a lovely, affordable break. Their hotels are friendly, value for money and cater very well for their target audience, geared more towards older people. Like any large hotel, upkeep is a massive undertaking and there will always be areas that need a little TLC. The only reason we took off a star was that we were mistakenly charged twice for our stay, but that was sorted out very quickly by the lovely Ivone on reception with a quick phone call when we noticed the discrepancy.
Overall, we had a lovely stay and would be more than pleased to stay there again.

Emplacement proche du bord de la Manche. Le personnel est accueillant. La chambre était grande, mais pas très propre, de même pour la salle de bain...

Visited last night to see the Twist and Shout musical show. Music and dance from the 60’s - Absolutely brilliant, such talented performers who sang and danced to such a high standard. The accompanying musicians were top class. An amazing evening in a small but stunning theatre, the staff were lovely, helpful and very friendly.

In July 2022, raida1 said about The Afton Hotel
I had a very good stay at Afton and highly recommend. The staff were really helpful, particularly Marcos who was on duty during the times I had questions. He was very accommodating at ensuring I could stay in the same room when I extended my stay at very short notice.The single room I stayed in was at the back of the hotel so quiet even at the weekend.
My husband and I had previously stayed here and the double room at that time was very spacious so great size rooms for couples.
The hotel is ideally located close to the pier and the nice side (route to South Downs) of Eastbourne. I would definitely stay here next time I'm in Eastbourne.
