I ventured into this hotel as I needed a bed for three nights and the owner/receptionist did me some discount and booked me in for 3 nights with no quibble at all and gave me a key straightaway. The hotel can cater for solo folk of groups of people and has large entertainment areas on both the group and basement floors and a decent sized bar area. It is located on the seafront, so handily placed for all that the town has to offer. The staff were polite, the hotel well decorated and the breakfast was a decent size.

just came back today from the hotel, well all I can say is this hotel is fantastic, we have been going here for many years now and it just seems to get better each time. Jason the manager cannot do enough for you he makes you feel at home straight away and his stuff are all so helpful to. the hotel is in a great location opposite the pier and near all shops and amenities. our room we had was lovely we had a sea view room, as normal very clean and bright, the hotel food and bar is great, we are now looking for the next booking to go back cannot wait.

May bank holiday weekend:
Greeted by staff who carried our cases to our room, room ready by 13:30pm. Hotel right opposite the pier, 5 mins from the shops - excellent location!
Breakfast was a little early 08:00-09:00, could be half hour later, especially after a late night ( this is my only criticism). Restaurant staff so accommodating and nothing was too much trouble. Breakfast was freshly cooked, for me the best meal of the day.
Overall the staff were very friendly.
Hotel itself, old with lots of character. Loved little hide out rooms to relax. Lots of seating available.
Even with difficult customers, staff were polite and handled situations well.
I would stay again.

We had a big family birthday party here and the staff were so helpful and friendly, nothing was too much bother in making it go with a swing. For the price, the rooms were good value and I agree the evening meal was a bit rushed, similar to an earlier comment, but the beds were comfortable and I didn't hear any adverse comments from our guests who stayed there.

Lovely friendly Hotel you would want to visit again and again. Always a warm welcome. The rooms are spotless. Small but more than adequate. Our bedding was changed everyday! Entertainment every night so no need to leave the Hotel. Just pull up a seat and enjoy the evening. A really nice breakfast is served, there is something to please everyone. Full English, cereal, toast, yogurt, fruit, tea,coffee and fruit juice. We were full to bursting! All in all a great place to stay. We are going back.

My husband and I, together with two other family members, stayed at the Afton Hotel from 25th to 29th May 2015, with Edwards Coaches. Our double room on the 2nd floor was a decent size, clean & tidy, nicely furnished and overlooked the pier. The bathroom was spacious, with a walk-in shower that was easy to use. My only slight grumble was that we had no TV remote control in the room and although we reported this at reception, we never did get a remote control. This wasn't too much of a problem for us, because we didn't stay in the room much to watch TV but I feel there should have been one available, if only to turn off the subtitles that came up every time you turned on the TV. Also, as our room faced the pier, it was very noisy late some nights with other holiday-makers and revellers leaving the pier [and there was also an incident involving the police one night] but this is to be expected in such a busy resort and in such a prime location. The food at the hotel was really good, well-cooked and decent portions. We certainly didn't go hungry. All the meat served was tender and falling apart, just as we like it and the vegetables were nice and soft without being soggy. The entertainment at the hotel was excellent, particularly on the Monday and the Thursday. However, as we were all different ages with different tastes, its always hard to please everyone but I would say that our coach party joined in to make every night enjoyable. When we arrived, there were other guests staying there on a bar deal but the Manager, Jason, kindly extended that deal to our coach party as well, so the drinks were very reasonable. All in all, I would say that this hotel is good value for money and we certainly had a great time. The hotel staff are friendly and helpful and the atmosphere is friendly and comfortable. I would certainly recommend this hotel to other people for a down-to-earth & good value hotel.
