A one-night stay for a friend’s birthday party being held in the hotel.
The room was dated and tired and unfortunately when we walked in the room it was like a sauna and way too hot for our liking. Luckily, we were able to turn the radiator down but it took all night to cool down to a reasonable level. I had to prop open the sash window using the the length of 4"x 1" which I assumed was there for that purpose!
The room was okay, clean and functional although It did smell a bit musty. That said I did have a good nights’ sleep.
The reception and bar staff were pleasant, professional and polite.
We arrived a half hour before the end of the breakfast sitting and as a consequence the cooked buffet items looked a little tired, so I opted for toast and cereal.
The waiting staff were busily clearing tables after we had seated and unfortunately not very attentive and didn’t ask if we would like more tea or coffee. I had requested more toast, but again due to the table clearing this was forgotten. That said, the young male waiter did apologise as we were leaving.
Overall a low budget hotel in a good location.

The Afton is a small hotel right on the sea front so perfectly situated. This was our third stay at The Afton Hotel, always for a Christmas event. Rooms are good value, clean and have everything you need. The Staff are always friendly and helpful. We have never found anything to complain about - especially for the price we pay!

Four of us took advantage of an offer at this hotel between Christmas and the New Year. The hotel is perfectly situated for the seafront and the town. We had a room on the third floor and could see the sea and the pier from our window. There is a lift to make access to upper floors easier. Unfortunately one of our party is unable to use a lift and as we were all ‘of a certain age’, was unable to climb the many stairs to the upper floors. The receptionist, despite the hotel being busy, did find them a room on a lower floor. The staff were friendly and the rooms clean and warm. Our ‘deal’ included an afternoon tea which was very nice and breakfast was quite adequate. For the money we paid it was good but it may help to have a breakfast menu and to train staff on how most guests like breakfast served. That is, that the English sometimes like to have cereal before their cooked food rather than both together or even tell guests to make this clear. We had no such problems but we did notice a couple of people being irritated by this and leaving food that had got cold. Having said that, the staff worked hard to keep everyone happy, the bar area was a nice place to sit and relax and we enjoyed our bargain couple of days.

We stayed here just before Christmas. the service was really friendly, the location is great (right opposite the pier). We enjoyed walking along the seafront and just looking out the window from the dining area. Added bonus that you can bring pets as well. its a Very rare occasion that i will return to the same hotel, but i am as it takes pets, so i will come back with my dad and his dog!

The Location is perfect , right opp the Pier and just 5mins walk from town centre .The room was large and chairs to sit on plus settee no just on bed like so many other hotels .Good shower but just needs a bit of TLC on tiles. Food was what you would expect from a budget hotel not much choice but tasted ok. The staff were very good Happy and Polite.

Booked a last minute stay and couldn't be happier with what we had and what we paid. Less than £30 for 2 adults, one night.
Location is brilliant, right opposite pier and parking outside cost £1. Short walk to shops and bars.
Our room was ground floor and although we were kinda under the stairs noise was minimal. We obviously could hear people walking up and down but as hotel was quiet it wasn't a problem. Room was big and really clean. Beds weren't so comfortable but there's nothing like your own bed anyway and for one or 2 nights it would be fine.
Gutted that pier wasn't open in evening as wanted to go to jazz bar for dinner and drinks but that wasn't hotels fault.
Would recommend and will definitely stay again.

I stayed for 4 nights. Great service from all staff. I left my phone charger in my room when I left yesterday and they said they would post it on to me. Excellent breakfast and when they have enough guests, they also offer evening meal.
No special frills, but I don't need a jacuzzi nor massage.
