The nearest gateway to Maidstone is London City Airport (LCY), located approximately 41.8 kilometers away, which is an international hub. For travelers prioritizing speed, LCY offers the fastest connection via combined DLR and rail links in about 80 minutes. London Gatwick Airport (LGW), 50.8 kilometers distant, serves as an efficient secondary international option with solid rail links. Both Heathrow Airport (LHR) at 71.3 kilometers and London Stansted Airport (STN) at 71.2 kilometers serve extensive international traffic, though they require longer transit times via coaches or multi-leg train journeys. London Luton Airport (LTN) is the furthest at 91.4 kilometers and generally entails the longest travel times. While LCY offers the lowest-cost budget options via public transit, private taxis provide superior comfort for all locations but at a significantly higher cost. For a seamless journey to Maidstone, we recommend checking rail schedules in advance, as timing transfers between London terminals can be complex. Always consider booking coaches in advance for the best budget fares, and allow extra buffer time for traffic if choosing private car services.

Great value for money. Used the hotel for a quick stop over before onward travel. Large room, a little old fashioned but not a problem at the price we paid, to be expected. Everything in the room that was needed and very clean.
No lift to second floor so a little difficult with heavy luggage but we managed.
Would stay again if in same situation.FromUS$84

The hotel is a bit dated but for the price we paid, it was good value. In terms of location, it was great for us as we were guests at a wedding at Leeds Castle and this hotel was literally around the corner. Staff were friendly and helpful. We did not use the leisure centre, but was told by family that it was really nice, especially the swimming pool. Regarding the room, as soon as you walk in you can smell the drains in the bathroom which is by the door but it's not that bad that you can smell it in the room. We had a family room which was large and had a king and two singles. The room was ok regarding cleanliness, some missed areas and dead insects which may have flown in through the big windows. Breakfast was nice with a decent selection of food and good choice of drinks which was needed after a hot weekend. Overall we are pleased with our stay and would recommend it.FromUS$69

We booked this hotel for location and spa.
The hotel was lovely but the spa was dirty and lacking in spa experience facilities. I feel this should be sold as a hotel with a pool.
Disappointing spa experience for a 4* hotel and feel like this hotel has miss advertised the facilities.
The shutter to the spa was down before 6pm on Valentine’s day.
At check in we were told that you will get towels and robes at the spa and last entry to the spa was 8:30pm.
When we arrived at the spa area reception we were only given a towel and told robes are only for guests on a spa package, contradiction to what we were told at checking in at the hotel.
The pool area and changing rooms was very dirty. The pool side showers were out of order and looked like they had been for a while.
The area where the jacuzzi used to be had been boarded up and looked like it’s had been for a long time.
The pool was cold and also dirty.FromUS$128

Sparkling clean - it might have been the cleanest Premier Inn Hotel we’ve been!
Very fresh breakfast; really kind to give our kids small gifts as a half-term break treat
Well air conditioned under the searing heat
Really friendly and welcoming staff, though we had a bit of trouble checking in it was tackled very quickly
Just a shame the parking costs £9 a night which isn’t a very good value compared to other hotels that might offer free parking.FromUS$70
