The hotel is comfortable and the staff are now like old friends, Jason the manager will go that extra mile to make sure you have everything you need , no request is too much trouble. Food good choice of menu. I look forward to my next visit.

We have just returned from from Five nights stay at this Hotel. The hotel is situated 2mins from sea front and pier and five mins from town centre. The hotel public areas are very nice but starting to look a bit dated we had a nice room with a view of the pier. The room was very clean with tea & Coffee making facility's the rooms were cleaned every day and our towels replaced with clean ones there was plenty of hanging space and draws. The hotel staff were very friendly and nothing to much trouble. The breakfast was very good the evening meal was three course with a choice of starters evening meals and sweets. The food was well cooked and well presented but the portions could have been a bit larger. There was bingo on an a evening then a singer after. We didn't stop in on a evening so cannot comment on the quality of the entertainment. I would not hesitate to recommend this hotel and would definitely stay here again.

The room is exactly what you pay for and it serves it's purpose. Not far from the train station and having not been Eastbourne before was easy to find! The English speaking staff were great and keen to interact and chat to you! My only niggle is the bed so so uncomfortable like breeze blocks I was in a single room so can't comment on the comfort of the larger beds! Should i have stayed more than one night is have asked for a swap! Breakfast for £5 although I didn't have this as I left early due to no sleep! :-)

I would like to say a massive thankyou to Jason McCabe (Manager) and the staff of the Afton Hotel for hosting our Wedding Reception on Fri 27th May. We had such a brilliant day and the reception was so well laid out and organised. The food was lovely! Excellent value for money and the location was ideal. I would definitely recommend it for a venue and would use it again. Also our room was lovely and the breakfast as ample and really well served. Thanks again Jason!

Stayed at this hotel from Friday 27th of May 2016 until Monday 30th had a sea view room quite spacious on the first floor food was good with entertainment nightly hotel a little dated maybe but for the price found it to be ok. Would stay there again as location was good directly opposite the pier

Friendly, welcoming, clean and nicely decorated. Excellent value for the £45 b & b we paid for the night. We were lucky enough to get a room with a view of the pier and the sea. Room well laid out and (for once) all power points accessible.Although basic, it was a treat to have our cooked breakfast, pot of tea and toast served at the table rather than having to help ourselves at a buffet which is sadly too common these days.
Hotel very well located for shops and seafront.
Sadly no parking but you can park on road between 6pm - 8am for free.
My only small criticism would be that we might had had dinner in the hotel restaurant if we had managed to find the menu in our room or downstairs.
Would definately stay again and be prepared to pay more.

I absolutely love The Afton Hotel the staff are great, we visit and stay twice a year and take molly our king charles we call it her holiday lol. the hotel is spotless and in a fantastic view opposite Eastbourne pier. The breakfast is catered for in an orderly way and its a great deal for the price they charge. They also do an evening meal where you go to you table and they leave your name , the tables are set up beautifully. I can not recommend them highly enough. regards linda

Bedroom clean and tidy,staff very helpful.
Menu dissapointing not much choice,had to order dinner at breakfast time.
Service in dinning room very slow one day,new waitress had'nt been trained on how the system worked.

The Afton Hotel is a great budget no frills hotel; perfect for a short stay. My single room was clean and the bed was comfortable but the furniture and carpets are very tired and really need replacing (102). Creaky floorboards, slamming doors and noisy corridors are an issue here but again I just needed a bed for the night so this wasn't a huge problem however I wouldn't be impressed if I was staying here for a relaxing break! All the staff were very helpful and friendly.

Had a good few days here, and the proximity to the pier was really great. Food ok, but evening entertainment was 1st class on a few nights.
Staff were helpful but again only the one lift.
This was another coach tour, so the hotel was a good starting place for other tours around the area.

There is NO PARKING at this hotel, on the street only and I found it very difficult to find a space. For that reason alone, I would not return. It was OK for 1 night, clean, and for the price I don't expect luxury. A bit run down, stair carpet thread bear in places, typical musty smell etc. Noisy. A disco, but it stopped dead on midnight. Other room doors very loud, even when shut carefully (not being slammed). I heard someone go to the toilet in the night (in another room!). Cooked breakfast was nothing special. Only just warm. Wifi only in lounge, not in rooms. Staff very nice. Good location on sea front, but as I say, the downside is parking is difficult, I can imagine, impossible in the summer.

the staff especially the chap who booked us in in the evening were very friendly and helpful it's a basic no frills hotel you get what it says on the can but for the price you cant fault it room was nothing fancy but had all you needed, clean bathroom and tea and coffee making facilities in the room (if i go again will take a bigger cup though as theirs are small tea cups 2 sips and its gone) decent breakfast again served by helpful friendly staff, they put us on ground floor as both of us have to use walking sticks room faced onto road but wasnt that noisy given where it is, lovely location will defiantly use it again if down that way again

We have just spent a very enjoyable week at The Afton.
We had a beautiful room on the first floor with a sea view,
Very warm & comfortable & spotlessly clean.
Staff were very friendly & service in the restaurant was very quick & efficient.
A good location opposite the pier, very handy for catching buses.
Very good value for money.
Particularly enjoyed hot chocolates in the room.
Look forward to returning in May with our coach group.
Thank you Jason.

A very pleasant stay again, polite and helpful staff, clean rooms, good food. No complaints. The beer was a local brew and reasonably priced. The bacon at breakfast was of good quality, plenty of fresh fruit and cereal. Good evening meal as well. Well recommended

Got an excellent last minute deal at the Afton Hotel, adjacent to the pier and 2 minutes from the main shopping area. Single room 202 clean, comfortable and all staff very friendly. The only suggestion is to take ear plugs as walls are thin and floors creaky. No hesitation in returning

Stayed here for 2 nights on business in a single room for £20 per night.
Really friendly welcome, clean ensuite room & comfy bed. Room small, but what do you expect for that price. Didn't eat there so can't comment on the meals.
Excellent value & wouldn't hesitate to stay again
