Myself and my partner have just spent a few days away down on the East Coast and was recommended to stay at The Afton Hotel. To sum up in a few words we had the best time in a long time, from the moment we checked in (friendly staff) to checking into our room (spotless) to eating the food (marvelous), compliments all round and we've booked to come again !!!!

I stayed at the Afton during Jul 2010 and was very happy with what I found. The hotel itself is very clean and tidy and the staff were attentive and helpful. The food was fantastic!! I think I put on a few pounds during my stay for sure.
I nearly forgot to mention the location - it is right opposite the pier on the seafront, which worried me at first (noise), however, I didn't hear a thin from my room which looked out onto the sea.
Superb all round!!

when we got to the hotel we were greeted by jason the manager of the afton, who was really helpful and a pleasant chap. being opposite the pier we thought there would be a lot of noise but not to bad to be honest. the food at the afton was really nice and varied no one went hungry. if you like your jack daniels prepare for a good night with the manager he has a right laugh with you........

the price given is rubbish too - I stayed for £40 a night (I stayed two nights) which included a full english breakfast which was served hot by friendly staff. In july I thought this was a good price for what I got. I don't know where some of these people have stayed before but I travel a lot and I found the Afton to be one of the best 2-star hotels around. I had a room with a lovely sea view and my room was perfectly clean. It's somewhere I would return to if I'm ever in Eastbourne again.

The location of this hotel is ideal with it being so close to the town centre and the pier. I would certainly stay here again when on business down south. I enjoyed the atmosphere of the hotel and would definitely recommend it to others.

Four of us had a midweek break and were all ofthe same opinion. The bedrooms were very good apart from the tiny old fashion T/V which didnt have a remote control. I asked reception for one but it didn't arrive, I also asked the Manager and he said he couldn't get one. As a last resort, I asked a Cmamber maid and got one in next to no time, well done chamber maid. The shower room was very good even if a little small. Shame that the refitters didnt finish it off very well. The toilet roll holder was hanging loose from the wall, no glass holders, grouting missing in a lot of places, hook behind the door was so high my short wife could hardly reach it, labels still on the pedestal. The workmen should be called in to finish off what would be a very nice en-suite. The bed and bedding were very good and comfortable and we slept very well.
Regarding the food. This was a complete let down. Breakfast had very little choice with serial or fruit and the bowls were almost thimble size. Toast was very thin, almost like paper. The main breakfast was quite good but small although extra was available if you asked.
Dinner wasn't very good with very little choice and the servings with the veg in particular were very small. The serving dishes held just about enough for one healthy eating person. The boiled potatoes were terrible and the greens over cooked.
The sweets were reasonable but felt as if they came out of catering tins.
Evening entertainment was average except for the last evening when someone called George was supposed to entertain us, what a let down that was.
During our stay there was 2 coach loads from Wales and they really made the evenings, they were such good fun and entertaining. We would love to meet up again with them sometime.
Value for money this hotel was quite good and if they improved on the quality of the food it could become a 3 star. The staff wer fine, no problem at all as they were so helpful and polite.
We would go back againand just hope the food had improved.
I hope this is not taken as a bad review as all the faults could be put right so easily and it would then be a lovely place to stay.
The position and views were great.

We stayed at this hotel on a whim when visiting Eastbourne for the day with our dog. The weather was great so we fancied staying overnight. We'd been up on the South Downs and couldnt get enough of the fantastic views up there! The Afton is right by the Pier so a great location & near to restaurants etc. I didn't expect them to welcome our cocker spaniel but they said as long as he's well behaved it was OK. We didn't feel the need to try other hotels, this one seemed so friendly & it wasn't expensive. The hotel itself is comfortable, clean & pleasant . The breakfast was good too & set us up nicely for another day walking. We'll certainly be back!
