The hotel is lovely as are the staff and the rooms, great amenities in the room. Couldn’t ask for a better location either. The only issue for us which unfortunately will make us not return was the walls are paper thin, we could hear everything which is such a shame

Comfy central hotel

We had a great stay at Judges court. The location is very central, the bed was comfy and it was a powerful shower. The paintwork was a little tired but otherwise a great place to stay.

Good enough little hotel

Great for shops and right in the centre. No parking but can park close by or get a taxi from station and a short walk as I its pedestrianised through the daytime. Close to pubs and eateries. The entrance can easily be missed as it’s a little archway into the courtyard. Clean enough and has everything we wanted for a one night stay. No food in this hotel but it’s surrounded by places to go

Great little hotel in the heart of York. Very close to the shops and only 5 minutes from the theatre. Staff very friendly. There is no lift and the stairs are fairly steep maybe a problem for those with mobility problems but it has bags of character and charm

Lovely, quirky hotel. Staff are lovely. We stayed in a basement room, it was clean and had all the amenities you need. Bed was too hard for me personally. And was noisy from people above. Not the hotels fault. Perfect location, close to everything and 5 mins walk from rail station. Would stat again.

Overnight Stay

Great little hotel situated in the center of things. Small room #5 but very clean and tidy. Great shower, quiet, fantastic staff. Recommend if you want to be in city centre. Taxi from railroad station is best with easy walk if Coney St. closed after 1030am.

Loved the room (#6). Very comfortable. Staff lovely. But promo photo doesn’t represent truly the access to its frontage which is via a dark jigger from the main high street. It’s also tricky to find the entry point off the main road - but you get there in the end!
