Can't complain about the hotel. staff were polite and friendly and it was a reasonable stay. Like a lot of hotels around the UK, they do look tired . the communal areas such as the reception and bar were ok and so where the rooms but could do with a makeover. Something to note, like other hotels, parking is awkward and you may not be able to park outside the hotel.

Iv made a complaint, I’m so unhappy with this hotel, it’s literally disgusting. The staff were rude when they were about but even that was hard work trying to find someone to help, the bed had springs sticking out, Iv not slept a wink, it’s actually unbelievable

Location and staff good, outlook not great due to semi demolished hotel across road. Hotel a bit rundown tatty, dated but it is clean, also offered free breakfast but not available when I stayed. I don't think it was worth what I payed to stay.

Afton Hotel was a very pleasant surprise - the cleanest hotel I have been in in Eastbourne for the last three years. Staff were great - very obliging and friendly. Food was delicious - especially the “full English” breakfast. I didn’t quite understand why the Continental breakfast was the same price (‘£10) as the full English - shouldn’t it be less ? The Aftor is very good value. I will definitely stay here again when I am in this area.

The hotel was ok but in desperate need of a facelift. Booked bed and breakfast but no breakfast on the last morning. Room ok but both bathroom door and windows need replacement especially the windows.

Weekend stay.
Our stay was pleasant as although the hotel is a bit dated, the rooms are very clean and the beds extremely comfortable. It is right by the pier and we had sea views. Parking on the road was a bit problematic as it was the weekend. The staff are all very friendly with special mention to Adil.

It was a great price, clean, friendly helpful staff. Am hoping to go back over Christmas, but looks like pretty full up ! Perfect for me, solo travelling usually. Near beach and station. Would recommend if you need the perfect base, but not if you want 5 star hotel with all the frills and extras. 10/10 from me ! :-)

This hotel is somewhat run-down, maybe because it's the end of the season. Pro's: lovely room with small balcony and nice en suite bathroom. Very clean bedding and towels. Easy to find and near the centre. Con's: Check in was difficult as computer was working slowly and the reception did not seem prepared for our arrival. Even though we had arranged and early check in. No WiFi in rooms is disgraceful - only available in lounge.
