First time visit to this venue, have to say what a good experience it was yes it's tired looking and I hope they get the funding it deserves to renovate. The staff were very good and helpfull as well.Suggs was brilliant and would highly recommend to see, totally captivating could have listened to him all night long. Well done the Hippodrome

this hotel is a fantastic place to stay in eastbourne , rooms are clean and tidy my shower was just the job for a portly person like me [fat] could not fault the room at all in any respect easy to reach via the lift which was great as some hotels in this area have a million stairs !!! ....moving on, the staff again fantastic and very friendly, the manager [luke] one of the nicest and helpful people i have ever met in the many many hotels i have stayed in anywhere [was offered a beer on arrival] great stuff, this hotel sells real ale , what a bonus , i cannot comment on the food as i did not visit the restaurant ....overall, fantastic place to stay in a great location will be back soon...5+++++++++++

We recently stayed at the Afton only for one night because it was booked up (with everybody else) and we have dogs so it made it doubly difficult, well we found The Afton on the internet and phoned up and a lady who took the booking was charming and very helpful, we turned up with our dogs and were welcomed by Luke who i have to say was a joy !!!!, so polite and so helpful that we immediately felt at home, great relaxing area, bar and entertainment in the evening, room was large with a balcony, good sized bed and clean throughout, we were chuffed !!!.....Breakfast had lovely fruit, cereals and anything you wanted from a full english,......although i have to say the lady who served it up was not the most warm individual and she made it a little uncomfortable when taking the order and serving up, perhaps a smile would help but that did not happen......so apart from a smile we would thoroughly recommend The Afton Hotel, great rates, great staff, about 60 seconds walk to the pier, we had a lovely time and will definitely be back !!!!...Thank you Luke and all the staff !!!!

First time at this hotel and it wont be the last, cosmetically it needs a little uplift which I believe is ongoing with owners. What I loved about it ? Comfortable bed, attentive staff. There was some entertainment at night. Perhaps not my cup of tea but everyone was so friendly that I was singing along too.
Breakfast was great. Have not a bad word to say about it.

My wife and I booked our stay at the hotel as part of an Edwards Coaches package deal, and as an Easter 2017 treat for us both. We were given a front corner room on the first floor, overlooking the pier. The room was very clean, not that large, but adequate for our weekend needs (who wants to spend all day in a hotel room when on holiday).
I had many a pleasant conversation with the new owner; he was a lovely gentleman, and could not do enough to ensure that all our needs were met during our stay, both in the bar and the dining room. He had traveled down from London that same weekend, to arrange some refurbishment work with regard to his newly purchased hotel.
There was entertainment every night, this was of a very good standard, but unfortunately the artists did not receive the response they deserved due to the majority of the older guests retiring to their rooms straight after evening dinner .. those that did remain did not exactly contribute or respond to the evenings entertainment (sadly). The food was really good standard, with plenty of variety, and served with a smile from the various waiters/waitresses. My wife and I would definitely stay at this hotel again, it was very pleasant at the time of our visit .... although I had been assured by the new owner that massive improvements are planned. Personally, we thought the standard was very good as it was .... it's going to be even better when we return.

We did a food event about 6 miles from here and this came up on line £108 for 3 adults sweet
Got there and they upgraded us to 2 twin rooms instead of 1 single 1 double the rooms are clean and basic
There is a nice bar and the staff are helpful parking is a bit awkward as it's right on seafront clean rooms slightly dated but good value
