Nice Hotel. Looks better in the communal areas than it does in the rooms. The rooms need a refurb as they're bit shabby looking.
Nice selection of beers ales, & spirits at Hotel Bar. Good Prices.
Receptionists were very helpful & friendly.
The downside of my stay was, One of the Waitress' s were incredibly rude to me & the cooked breakfast was barely warm.
Overall it wasn't too bad. As I only booked it for a mini break I stayed for 4 nights. It was very cheap to book via Expedia.
The Afton Hotel is nicely located on Eastbourne Seafront just walking distance to the pier & the shops.. Would I stay here again? Probably not. But certainly a mixed experience....

We got a very cheap deal online. £37 For the night. Staff were very friendly and the room was spotlessly clean. Right opposite the pier. You could get a nice sea view if you payed extra. The stairwell to the upstears rooms was in our bedroom so it was quite noisy but you get what you pay for. We enjoyed our stay thank you

Pretty reasonable hotel. We could not get breakfast. Rooms where quite outdated but in general not a bad hotel. Locations is at the foot of the Eastbourne pier wich was very nice.

We loved this place. Would give it 5 stars except for the rather thin walls and the shower was not much more than a trickle. It was spotlessly clean and the staff were very friendly. Great position and we could park very close on the road for £1 a day. We'd definitely go back. Fantastic value

We stayed for a 3 night midweek break last minute decision but luckily enough we got a room. Room was large, well furnished and neat & clean. A large ensuite included as well as tea & coffee making facilities. The hotel is in a perfect location. Directly opposite the war memorial & pier. Literally 1 min walk! You have a large selection of restaurants, bar and a thriving town all within a few mins walk as well. All cuisines are catered for from all over the world. If you stayed for a week you could virtually dine in a different country every night. South downs & the seven sisters are a 10min drive, loads of retail parks & supermarkets within a short drive too. Eastbourne seems to be a thriving town, more so than a lot of seaside resorts. Overall a very enjoyable stay. Our only gripe were fairly noisy upstairs neighbours who were up at 6am every morning and the bed was too soft for our tastes but this is just our own preference and bed was in good condition.

Slightly strange place in a central location. No breakfast on Saturday (Chef's day off!). Card payment fine but had to pay cash for parking coupons. Rooms a bit poky but clean. Light switches which come on as you go down a corridor but 1.5 seconds too late. Wifi only in the lounge which in this day and age is a bit poor IMO

Pleasant staff, great location and reasonably priced. Rooms were clean and sufficient for my needs as a business traveler and perhaps what I should expect from two star hotel.
A slight negative in that my TV wouldn't switch on which I solved by asking for some new batteries for the controller at reception. This was taken care of straight away and these things happen.
One thing that does need addressing is the shower and the plumbing. My shower wasn't any where near powerful enough and this might be due to the shower head needing replacing or the water pressure to that room not being good enough. This was raised at reception and maintenance were due to visit but that didn't happen. The water in the shower tray also took a good while to drain away so the hotel do need to take a look at the plumbing. I think I was in room 312.
Other than that a good experience and I would stay there again for the next phase of my business trip this year.

In July 2021, Chris Hedges said about The Afton Hotel
A reasonably priced hotel, right on Eastbourne's seafront. The staff were extremely helpful and my room although small (single) was clean and adequate for my needs. Parking is an Issue here, especially on hot busy days. Pretty much everywhere is either pay or permit required. The hotel does sell day parking permits for £2 which is significantly cheaper. Also read the parking signs carefully as parking is free after certain times. Another thing to be aware of, there can be a lot of noise from the nearby seafront road on weekend due to boy racers in their noisy cars. Ask for a room at the rear of the building or ensure you have earplugs if you are a light sleeper!
Those issues aside, this is great hotel for a short seaside break!
