Stayed recently as part of a group booking . Room on 3rd floor with sea view,room was clean and tidy, shower had poor flow but believe it is work in progress, all staff were pleasant and friendly, food was good with plenty of variation.
Position of hotel is excellent , easy access to town centre , pier,bus to Beachy head etc.
missed most of evening entertainment as within walking distance of decent pubs and theatres , decent bar area and lounges in the hotel with reasonable drink prices
All of group enjoyed the stay and would happily return.

Just needed one nights accommodation for a girlie shopping and site seeing trip (herstmonceux castle - beautiful grounds ) and this was reasonable enough. I did find it cheaper to book direct with the hotel paying £70 for a twin with breakfast, rather than £68.00 for room only. room was comfortable and clean but very small, bathroom well let's just say if your over 14 stone and 5 ft 10 ask for a bigger bathroom as quiet a squeeze to get in the shower as you need to get in from an angle! Very friendly staff always had a smile. The only few down sides were the noise of party goers in the street below, the chatting at 4:30 am from the room next door and a lack of choice of hot food.... Come on it's not a full English without mushrooms and hash browns right! But what we did have was very good.

we stayed at the afton for 3 nights recently and the hotel was spotless, the room had a balcony overlooking the pier and had a comfy bed , nice shower and everything you may need. the staff were very polite and nothing was too much trouble for them, breakfast was loverly and entertainment was ok, we are retired and were on the 1st floor but as the hotel has a lift this was not a problem. if you stay here see the reception to get parking permits which last from 11 am to 11 am next day and only cost a £1 a day. all in all great value for money and nice people.

Had a Christmas Party night. Food was very average. Staff did have a pleasant attitude though. Drinks not expensive. Overall Hotel appears not to have been updated for 30 years. Great lo9cation right on seafront though if staying overnight.

Having had several business trips to Eastbourne over the past year and having previously tried several other local hotels with mixed (often terrible experiences), I cannot recommend the Afton hotel enough. Clean rooms, exceptionally helpful and cheerful staff and very accomodating management have made each successive stay very pleasant. Situated on the front opposite the pier and close to all ammenities and shopping areas makes the location perfect. The rooms are of a good size and the housekeeping staff very friendly with a real 'happy to help' attitude. From the first stay, as a guest I was made to feel very welcome and it was nice to meet so many friendly acquaintances in the relaxed bar areas and over the well provided breakfasts and dinners. To sum up: The Afton is a gem of a hotel with a great 'family run' feel, where each guest is most certainly looked after - good facilities with a high level of cleanliness and friendliness! Highly recommended and thank you to all who made my stay so pleasurable and comfortable.
I look forward to visiting again in the future sometime (wirgmst)!!

Having stayed at the Afton over many years for conference social weekends it never fails to live up to expectations and has been updated over the years. As most of our party (of 70 +) are visually impaired the staff are always extremely helpful. Situated almost opposite the pier it is in an ideal location and is open to non-residents. There is a ballroom and bar with inexpensive drinks and does have a separate 'quiet' sitting area. The food is average but equates to hotel tariff. Rooms vary in size so suitable for couples or families and are quite comfortable. Hotel is very dog friendly (for well behaved dogs).
We look forward to returning in November with guide dog.

We came to Eastbourne to attend a special party event and needed to find accommodation for the night. We couldn't have chosen a cleaner hotel and the location opposite the pier is so convenient. The staff were really friendly and helpful and we even met the owners! The breakfast was lovely, particularly the bacon.
