Edwards Coaches trip for 60's weekend for 3 days from 20 th March. What a great weekend my wife and I had. Good clean hotel, good food, friendly staff. The Friday nights entertainment was great, Saturday night was god if you like disco but the DJ was great. Would recommend this hotel.

The Afton Hotel is a great venue for a special occasion. Big thank you to Fiona and Jason who were fantastic in the run up to and on the night of our family's Golden Wedding Anniversary celebrations. We were all made to feel so welcome and nothing was too much trouble - thank you.

Travelled with Edwards Coaches on a four day break as the five day trip was fully booked.
Room very clean and tidy and bed comfortable but wish I'd asked for a sea view. Shower worked well and plenty of hot water.
The hotel is in a great spot on the seafront and near to the shopping centre. I loved being able to cross the road and walk round the pier in the morning.
Food tasty and nice and hot, I had the veggie options and was pleased I didn't have to wait extra time for my meal. The waiting staff were very efficient and our waitress was very pleasant and helpful. My only negative with the food is that we could have eaten a bit more but maybe we are greedy! May I suggest that veggie sausages with breakfast would be great.
Overall we enjoyed our stay. The hotel seems very well run and I would use it again.

For a quality budget hotel, you couldn't fault the standard. The food was of a high standard, extremely hot, the services was very fast and professional. Near all the shops. I would defiantly come here again. Even the beer prices were the same in the pubs. Mrs french cardiff

I have been using the Afton Hotel for a number of years for weekends with my partner and groups of friends and due to the quality of service and the friendliness of the staff we decided to hold our wedding reception there. Once again they did not disappoint. They pulled out all the stops, we couldn't have wished for a better day, everything was perfect, the food, the service and the ambience created were excellent. ALL our guests said that the hotel had done us proud and i have to agree. But it doesn't have to be a special occasion to receive this kind of treatment - this is just way they are - I can't recommend this place enough.

Clean enough small bedrooms, public areas in better condition.
A very traditional style hotel that will never be the boutique style so don't expect that. Come with an open mind, it's ok, nothing special but not too bad either.
The waitresses worked hard but could do with swatting up on the menu as apparently a vegetable goulash is "vegetables and goulash".
Entertainment was included in the package booked, it was a little ropy and embarrassing at times, and was geared to a much older audience. However when you are in a group you can still have a good time and enjoy yourself. The £1 bar was a hit with many.
Didn't have a bad time, but if I am in Eastbourne again I may try to find a change of venue to see what the competition is like,
Oh, and by the way, it was on the top of my tongue on the second night to ask what was in the nut roast....

I booked the Afton Hotel for my 60th party (1960's themed) and am delighted that I chose to have it there. It is ideally situated opposite the Pier so very easy for people to find.
I found all the staff very helpful, especially Jason and Fiona, who helped with the planning stage and recommended an excellent DJ.
Nothing was too much trouble.
The buffet was delicious and many of my guests stayed the night and all were extremely complimentary about the venue, the atmosphere, the food and staff. The rooms which were clean and very comfortable.
The breakfast was excellent - quick service with a very good choice of cooked dishes.
I can't recommend the Afton Hotel highly enough and will certainly be back again for future celebrations!

We travelled as a large group of friends (21 of us) being members of an Essex based social club. It was a mystery trip by bus so only 2 people knew where we were going ! We arrived at the Afton Hotel late on Saturday afternoon and were welcomed by the receptionist Fiona who had all the rooms allocated. The rooms are comfortable and clean , what you see on the photographs on websites is what you get and there was no case here of showing you a lovely picture to disappoint you on arrival. Breakfast was very well received by our group and the 11 who ate in on Sunday evening were well satisfied with their meal. We all finished up in the hotel being entertained wonderfully by their Magician/singer who rounded off our weekend really well. The staff were all pleasant and helpful and one can see why the Afton is so popular amongst visiting guests. Finally I must say as organiser of our trip how pleasant it was to do business with this hotel (thank you Jason) , always helpful and accommodating making changes as we went along , we had a few choices of hotel via the Eastbourne Tourist information and we definitely made the right one.
