Our stay at the Afton Hotel was excellent. The staff are very friendly and welcoming. Our double room was very spacious, nicely decorated and clean. The full English breakfast and the 3 course dinners were delicious. Entertainment is provided in the bar every night. The hotel is in a great location; opposite the Pier, in walking distance to the High Street and Devonshire Park. I would strongly recommend this hotel to everyone.

Stayed at the Afton in May with my Partner and Daughter. All the staff were very welcoming which made our stay enjoyable. Hotel was clean, although room was quite small and slightly tired looking, however it was quiet, comfortable and only for one night. Breakfast was average but with a reasonable choice for both adults and children. Hotel was very near seafront and Manager gave us a parking token for less than £2 for 24 hours so that was a bonus.
Overall it was a pleasant stay and hotel was acceptable for the price we paid.

The Afton is a perfectly good hotel, a bit dated but very clean. It caters more to the older guest.
What is exceptional about this hotel is the manager. I had called to book a room a week before I arrived.. a very busy time as it was the Tennis championship. When I arrived there was some confusion about my booking and it had not been processed into the system. The person on duty allowed me to stay the first night even though I wasn't on the system, so I could sort with the manager in the morning. The manager went out of her way to accommodate me. For part of my week's stay I stayed at the Afton, and when she was physically unable to find a room for me, she ensured another hotel nearby would provide a room at the same price. And it was a very reasonable price she had agreed.
I would highly recommend this hotel for the service and friendliness they provide. I stay at many hotels for work purposes and this one stood out for this reason. I would definitely stay again.
I would highly recommend

Just returned home from the Afton after a blissful ten day break. Home from home comfort, food plentiful, fresh and a wide selection. All staff polite, cheerful and always helpful which makes a happy atmosphere for all guests. Room was kept spotless with fresh linen by hardworking housekeeping staff, nothing was too much trouble, a happy bunch!
Afton is my Gold Standard hotel, Eastbourne's Secret!
Thank you for a lovely holiday.

Just returned from another stay at the Afton, I think this was our 3rd stay so far this year. We were booked in by the owner, a charming man he even offered to move the hotel's van so we could park in his space. As usual all the staff were polite and friendly. We usually book for the evening meal too, and were not disappointed a good choice for starters, main and dessert.
Breakfast was good too. Entertainment in the hotel last night was excellent, we really enjoyed it. Hopefully our next stay at the Afton will incorporate a Monday night so we can hear the singer/guitar player again. Thank you for another great stay, keep up the good work how you manage to keep your standards up on such reasonable rates is brilliant. Hopefully see you again soon

I stayed as part of a bowls tour and when we arrived the cases were unloaded and put in our room whilst we had a much needed drink in the bar. The manager (Jason) was brilliant and when we mentioned the shower head was cracked he got maintenance to change it straight away. The menu had a good variety and our food was hot, well prepared and served quickly. Our waiter (Steve) was great and very efficient. Bar prices no higher than most nearby pubs. The room was clean and tidy and had everything that would be expected.
The Afton is well placed for all the local amenities and buses run regularly from across the road (even though we didn't get time to take advantage of them).
Overall, the stay was very enjoyable and I'd like to compliment your staff for doing such a great job.

Stayed recently as part of a group booking . Room on 3rd floor with sea view,room was clean and tidy, shower had poor flow but believe it is work in progress, all staff were pleasant and friendly, food was good with plenty of variation.
Position of hotel is excellent , easy access to town centre , pier,bus to Beachy head etc.
missed most of evening entertainment as within walking distance of decent pubs and theatres , decent bar area and lounges in the hotel with reasonable drink prices
All of group enjoyed the stay and would happily return.
