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.
The location and the personnel I met during our stay.

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.

Very cheep hotel , got allocated room 114 on 1st floor , the room was very very dated , the shower wasn't working, so we told reception , then to discover the toilet wasn't screwed down to the floor, so it wobbled whist sitting on it, then when it come to bedtime, the bed base was completely broken, so no sleep on our first night, we went to reception and told them, they sent a maintenance guy to our room , and looked at the bed, and then told us we can move to another room, which was 214 on the 2nd floor , very happy with this room , the only fault was the bathroom was freezing cold as the radiator wasn't working , but for a weekend stay or over night stay for great price . This hotel was good enough , the two staff we saw were friendly . No idea if they had a restaurant , as we wasn't offered food if we wanted breakfast or dinner? But the view we had from both rooms was lovely looking onto the pier 😀 .

Always been a nice budget hotel right on the sea front with plenty of parking with reduced tickets from your hotel.
Over the year we have visited this hotel,this year however one big complaint the toilet runs continuously hence when flushes no water.
I had reported this last year and again when we arrived this time but despite promise to fix it I ended up having to flush with bottles of water.
Pity really because the staff are good here bu y despite the hotel quite empty I would have expected toilet to be fixed. So beware and check.

Just back from a pleasant 4 night coach trip to the Afton Hotel.Top marks all round. Staff were very friendly and professional. Nice room overlooking the pier. Very happy with food which was very much to our liking. eg: Chicken/Cottage pie/ Roast Pork/ Turkey dinners.
Nice quiet area. Only 5 minutes gets you in to the start of fairly large shopping area. Beacon Centre worth a visit. Royal Hippodrome Theatre has nice shows only about 200yards away Our first visit to Eastbourne very much enjoyer
