This hotel does exactly what it says on the tin. A no frills seaside hotel situated bang on the sea front (almost ) opposite the pier.
Ok, so it's a little jaded in places but the bathroom was clean and the bed was comfortable. Throw in a full English breakfast and all this for £45 for two !!
Not a place for a romantic, up market, weekend away but horses for courses.

I stayed at the Afton for one night B & B. I needed a late check out the next day as we needed to get showered and changed for an evening party. The staff put us in a spare room the next morning and allowed us to leave at 6pm.
The rooms were well appointed and the cleanliness was of a very high standard. Breakfast was good quality too. On check in Fiona made us feel very welcome.
This would be my first choice in Eastbourne.

A lovely hotel situated within a stones throw of the seafront. Had a very relaxing and enjoyable stay . Nice clean rooms, friendly staff and a comfortable bar. Even has a parking scheme that is very useful. Will certainly be coming back. Matt n Lou

We really enjoyed our stay at the Afton Hotel. Very comfortable room and great bar. Very friendly and helpful staff and reasonably priced. It's across the road from the pier and a few hundred yards from the centre of town so perfectly situated. The entertainment wasn't our kind of thing but those watching seemed to be having fun. If you are looking for a good 2* hotel in Eastbourne this is it.

Stayed here for the weekend with some friends. Room spot on and very clean. Location perfect, right on the sea front, walking distance to bars and shops. Food was good! Staff were lovely and very helpful. Very reasonably priced and would most definitely stay here again.

As an organiser for a dance weekend for members of our dance school last week I cannot thank Jason, Fiona and all the staff enough for helping the weekend run so smoothly. This is the third year I have booked the Afton for our dance weekend and have already booked for next year as we all had such a good time. The atmosphere and friendliness of the staff is second to none and with 50 people arriving throughout the day and booking in, nothing was ever too much trouble. If someone booked in and needed a change of room then it was done or if they weren't happy with any aspect of their stay the management were always on hand to get it sorted. Each year we go there has been someone available to help unload my van with all the equipment and luggage, even the owner of the hotel lends a hand.
Our dining experience is always as expected and no it isn't a 5 star gourmet dining experience its good wholesome home cooked food with plenty of choice and perfectly suitable for everyone. They have even catered for one of our party who was on a gluten free diet. Several of our larger appetites even ordered seconds and that was no trouble. Gravy on the side no problem, don't like whats on the menu? Let them know in advance and they will cook you something else.
One of our party has left negative feedback about this hotel that I have read ( I guess he won't be coming next year!) I'm afraid I have to disagree with his review. If the hotel doesn't know about your complaint while you are there they don't have the chance to do anything about it. If he didn't like his room he could have moved, somebody else did. If his towels weren't fluffy enough he could have asked for some new ones. If he was that desperate for a biscuit with his tea I would have given him one and as for putting your drinks bill on a tab to pay at the end of the weekend....hardly a reason to leave a negative review! This hotel is a family run hotel and the same staff have been there for the last 3 years that we have visited, restaurant staff included so if you are looking for a friendly welcome from people who care about your stay being the best it can be then this is the place for you. I would stay here even if I was visiting Eastbourne without running a dance weekend. 50 of us came this year and had a fabulous time and I expect there will be 50 people next year as our weekend is always oversubscribed.
