In July 2024, Jackie S said about The Afton Hotel
For the price we paid for our twin room, the experience was 5 star at 3 star prices. Room was clean and had everything we needed. All the staff we had dealings with were super friendly, helpful, cheerful and polite.
If you're looking for a budget stay this is an excellent choice.
We were vising Eastbourne for my niece's hen do, and only used the actual room, so can't comment on the food, as we were too hungover to attempt to eat.
It's directly across the road from the pier and beach, but amazingly quiet.
Thank you for an amazing stay.

After a horrible experience at a nearby hotel, I popped into the Afton Hotel, located right next door to the said horrible hotel.
I was pleasantly surprised by the kindness and professionalism of the gentleman and lady at the reception, who were extremely sympathetic to my situation and offered me one of their available twin rooms with a bath at a very reasonable rate.
Their compassion really turned my day around 🥺
The room itself, while a bit dated, was far more spacious than I expected and even had a sea view.
It was clean and comfortable, with a TV, tea-making facilities, and basic toiletries provided.
The lack of WiFi in the room was a minor downside, but it didn’t detract much from the overall experience.
One of the highlights of the hotel was the pub, which were always occupied by mature gents & ladies, and serves reasonably priced drinks—a refreshing pint of cider was just what I needed after the stress of the whole experience at the start of my Eastbourne trip.
If you’re looking for a friendly, comfortable place to stay in Eastbourne, I highly recommend the Afton Hotel.
It’s not the most modern hotel, but the exceptionally kind and warm hosts and cosy atmosphere more than make up for it.

Great hotel in a fantastic location.
The staff were brilliant and very helpful.
Could do with some beer behind the bar as they had 5 pumps and only 2 working.
So I went for the wines and Spirits.
In room 5 and is was very clean. Plenty of clothes storage in a large wardrobe and plenty of drawers.
Highly recommend..
