Great hotel...very central and within walking distance of all amenities and attractions

Judges Court is excellently located to enjoy the centre of York. It is set back from the street, so it is quiet despite its central location. It is an interesting historical building with a complementary, quirky design scheme. We were very comfortable. There were a couple of issues that perhaps were unique to our room - the bathroom fan sounded like an air raid siren. This amused us but probably not any neighbouring room when we had to get up at 6 am. The coffee maker in our room did not seem to work properly. However, there was a kettle, so we just went with old fashioned instant.

Everything was good except for not having a toilet brush

We stayed Fri/Sat night in mid October in Room 11 which was up the main staircase and one of the rooms used for the judges - so super high ceilings and plenty of room. There was a coffee maker and plenty of tea/coffee/hot chocolate in the room as well as some biscuits - no wine/yorkies as other reviews mention but no complaints either! Room was comfortable - but did get super warm during the night, not quite enough to put the fan on but that was available had we wanted to use it. We didn’t have any issues with the cleanliness, bathroom was fine and no problem in the bedroom either. Hotel is really well positioned for exploring York - minutes away from Betty’s, the Shambles, the Minster and the Golden Fleece. Only minor feedback we had was my partner decided to buy a couple of bottles of beer from the hotel fridge one night when we came back from our wandering (there is no bar/restaurant on site - think other reviews are getting mixed up with Judge’s Lodgings which is down the road!) and he was told they both had to be opened before he could bring them up to the room - which when he then decided he didn’t want the second one meant it was wasted as it had been opened so we couldn’t just stick it in a bag to take home with us. Other than that we were more than happy with our time at Judge’s Court.

Friendly staff and great location

Lovely stay here for two nights. Very comfortable room. Comfortable bed and fresh linen. Bathroom and shower spacious. Gorgeous white large fluffy towels. Staff very helpful on places to eat and very welcoming Hotel is situated near all the attractions. Short walk from train station. Highly recommended.

This place is great if you don’t have limited mobility! Service of night staff excellent and helped bring our bags up to the third floor with small staircase—It is a historically old building with wood beams and a courtyard to walk through to get to the hotel from the street. No parking on site as in pedestrian area—that walk to car park was .6 miles away—again difficult with a cane. It was close to everything in old town York—7 minute walk to The Shambles, 40 seconds to nearest Starbucks, and all the sights/shopping was within 5-7 minute walk. The hotel has a cool theme of being in Judges’ court with gavels for coat hooks and each room named after a different judge. Cool stay—would have been great had I been in my 30s and not with a cane.

Warm and welcoming. Very central. We dropped our bags in before check in. We went out for breakfast and left our bags at reception while we wandered around. The room was very spacious and comfortable. It was nice and quiet. The shower was good
