I stayed here for two nights on a business trip. The hotel is clean and well run in a good location for the beach etc. I had a single room at a very cheap rate. In terms of value for money it is a good deal. However my room was small and a little shabby. Breakfast is the usual fare.... More

Booking the hotel on bookings.com after reading the reviews on trip advisor. It certainly lived up to our expectations. All the staff very friendly and our room had a great view of the pier and most important the sea. Definitely worth a return visit. Excellent value for money.

For £30/night you can't expect a lot. Small room in a nice location. Breakfast was average but with very limited time (8-9 am). The service was good and everything was clean. Main issue in this hotel is the elevator, it's slow and at peak times (breakfast and dinner time) you need to wait as much as 10 minutes for it.

I'm sorry that you found our breakfast to be only "average". Most of our guests are pleased with it and prefer not to have it after 9am. I'm surprised that you had to wait as much as 10mins for the lift on occasions. Of course there are two short flights of stairs down to the restaurant which can also be... More

Booked this hotel after reading Trip Advisor reviews. All the good things that have been said previously I found to be true. There was no kettle in my room when I arrived - tea, coffee but no kettle, presumably taken by the previous occupant. When I queried at Reception they immediately found me one. You can tell it is not... More

I'm so glad that you're able to confirm all the good things people have said about us. I believe that what makes the difference is that this is a privately owned hotel where the owner lives on site and genuinely cares for the well being of his guests. More

We stayed at the Afton for a weekend in Eastbourne and very much enjoyed our stay. The room was fine, smallish but not unduly so and the bed was comfortable. The staff were friendly and the Afton represented very good value for money: recommended.

Sent my in- laws to this hotel as a Birthday Surprise. They had stayed here on previous occasions and always enjoyed themselves. We paid £240 for a four day break bed and breakfast which is extremely good value. The room was of a high quality and breakfast was very enjoyable.

Also stayed at The Afton Hotel on an Easter coach break. Given the reasonable costs, excellent service and great location of the hotel, I sometimes think I have fallen amongst 'professional grumblers' when I hear fellow-holiday-makers grumbling about hotel deals like this. What more could anyone want or expect for such reasonable cost? I don't have any complaints and would... More

Stayed at this hotel over the Easter as part of a Coach Holiday - central location by the Pier. Entertainment every night. Good food and outstanding service. Would definately return and would recommend.
