Friendly staff, clean hotel, excellent location (walking distance from the train station as well as from the Shambles and the Minster). Our only downfall was the construction work that was a but noisy in the morning, and the fact that the fan in the bathroom was not efficient (it would ger humid after a shower). Would recommend this hotel !

Location was great, also the theme of the hotel with the artwork on the walls in the room was very nice, our room was at the front of the hotel room 8 and it was quite loud with the windows open, especially when the bin men came and delivery of beer kegs to other properties, the fan in the room was a nice touch as it was quite warm

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.

We loved our stay at Judges Court. Our room and the location were excellent. The only down side were the stairs, which were difficult to navigate with a suitcase and bad knees.

Parking is approximately 10-12 minutes away and £25 for 24 hour stay. Staff were really nice and helpful. As the building is the old court, the windows are different sizes and the blinds difficult to block out daylight. No air conditioning. Nice molton brown products in bathroom

When we first arrived, I thought "oh, no". Lobby is dark, entire place is tucked away, no A/C, and no lift. We had to haul our luggage up 37 steps of a NARROW, spiral staircase. Our room was clean and adequate, and actually had the biggest, nicest, newest shower of anyplace we've stayed so far. (4th hotel of this trip) There was a fan in the room, and they brought a second one upon our request. I'll have to admit, that even in August, with the window open and the fans, we were COMPLETELY comfortable and slept well. The location, right in the city center is very convenient. So, despite my initial skepticism, this hotel was completely satisfactory and a good value.
