Great place and location

The location is really cool and in the right area for the visit. This is a historical site, so not the most up to date amenities. No room service or food. No air conditioning and it was fairly hot while we were there.

Quirky hotel in a perfect location.

This is a lovely boutique hotel in the centre of the city. Perfect location for shopping, theatres and restaurants. Its ideal if you are travelling by train or public transport but if going by car there is obviously no parking. We parked on the Marygate park but it was £22.50 for about 20 hrs which would be expensive if you were to stay a few days. There is no restaurant but tea and coffee making facilities provided and plenty of eating places close by. You can also get drinks delivered to the room. The rooms are large and stylish and clean.

Verified traveller

Disliked: Cleanliness

Very Basic

Room was nice enough but a bit basic, considering we were in a luxury king room. But then the whole hotel was basic with no restaurant and the bar was a fridge in reception. Some staff were friendly others not so much. My main complaint is the lack of cleaning. There was a safety pin on the carpet when we arrived and it was still there when we left 3 days later. The towels were changed but the bathroom wasn't cleaned. I don't know how Judges Court got to be a 4 star hotel. Also someone should check the photos on their website as it certainly doesn't look anything like the photos. This is very misleading. Definitely won't be returning.

This is a charming property. Our room was in the lower level with a low, vaulted brick ceiling which was fine for us but would properly be challenging for anyone who is tall. As well, because it was in the lower level, it was a little musty smelling and wifi access was spotty at best. We still thoroughly enjoyed our stay and the location in York is great.

Absolutely unique property with great history. In the heat of York, walkable to all sites and great pubs. Not for you if looking for modern hotel, but great is you don’t mind a few ghosts. Excellent bedroom, bed and modern bathroom; average size with reasonable storage space. Fun stay.

Great location in town but it was a small hike from parking lot. Close to shopping, bars and restaurants. You do need to climb very narrow steps so don’t bring a lot of bags. No a/c. Room was nice and bathroom had been remodeled and was super nice.
