Staff were friendly, and location is great. The dated in the rooms, fixtures (door handles and taps). Shower pressure very low. But overall for a few days it is still a good place to stay. I would happily go back in the future.

Overall, my stay at the hotel was pleasant and welcoming experience. The staff were warm and attentive, and the service offered solid value for money. That said, the balcony could have benefited from more thorough cleaning, and the absence of in-room WiFi was a notable drawback—especially since access was limited to the lobby. With a few improvements in cleanliness and connectivity, the hotel has the potential to offer an even more comfortable and enjoyable stay.

Couldnt fault the staff or cleanliness. I can only comment on the room i stayed in which i would say was very tired, i could feel the springs in my matress and furnishings were pretty worn like laminate missing on wardrobes and drawers and expanding foam sticking out everywhere on outside of window. Oh and you can only connect to the wi-fi in the reception area which was a slight inconvenience for me however despite this i probably would stay again.

For a fairly budget hotel I cannot fault my stay. Room cleaned daily and kept clean to good standard. Shower head being very small with little water flow my only low rating. Hotel is not modernised but old wardrobes in room adds to charm. I would definitely stay again when down for stay with work

We needed to stay overnight in Eastbourne for a funeral, and the Afton Hotel was ideal. Very reasonable price, friendly staff. We were a bit worried that it would be noisy, as there was some entertainment going on downstairs, but that stopped at 11pm and it was nice and quiet after that, and got a good night's rest. The main issue was parking. We checked in at 3pm and got a space right outside, but when we returned later in the evening we had to park a few streets away. When we stayed, there was a LOT of building work going on in the area. I'm sure when it's finished the area will look really nice - and probably the parking situation will improve. Definitely recommend getting the parking permit from reception, and I can also recommend paying the extra for the breakfast. They do a nice full English. Nice to stay in a proper old-fashioned seaside hotel, the building is showing it's age a bit, but the staff are really friendly and helpful.
