Uncaring

While appreciating this is a listed building, we were not aware that access to our room would be up a very narrow steep winding staircase we were offered no assistance whatsoever to get our bags up the stairs even after telling them we were in our 70s and my husband has bad asthma. One person behind reception just carried on sitting there stroking her dog, the other just kept saying we were on 2nd floor and no lift. Very unhelpful

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.

Judges Court is in a great location—an easy walk from the station and right in the City Centre. However, the hotel itself is small and lacks basic facilities. There was no radio or iPod docking station, and the homemade biscuits advertised on their website were missing—not a dealbreaker, but still disappointing. The room needed some attention: peeling paint, signs of damp on the walls, and an uncomfortably hot temperature. While fans were provided, they were noisy and ineffective. Housekeeping was also inconsistent. On our second day, the floor towel was neatly folded, but the bed was left unmade. Coffee pods were replaced, yet the cups looked like they had only been rinsed and were still dirty. Overall, this did not feel like a 4-star experience. I wouldn’t choose to stay here again.

Quiet quaint little hotel

I stayed at Judges Court for one night and really liked its central, yet tucked-away location. The hotel was mostly clean and well-kept - a little tired in some parts of the bedroom, but the bed was comfortable and it was lovely and quiet. The ladies on reception were very friendly and helpful when I asked about a recommendation for dinner, and with storing my bags on the day I checked out. Overall, I would recommend.

A lovely bank holiday break away

Lovely little hotel, we stayed for 3 nights and had the option to have our room cleaned and new towels everyday. We arrived 2nd May and after checking in we realised our room was on the top floor with no lift, my husband isn't in the greatest of health following a heart attack and when I explained this one of the lovely girls on the reception she moved our room to a move accessible room for him and even helped carry our suitcase back down the stairs, she really went above and beyond for us and would like to say a massive thank you to her, unfortunately I didn't catch her name however but she was working on the afternoon of 2nd May. The rooms are lovely, modern and clean. The hotel is in a perfect location.

It is in a very convenient place. The staff are very nice. We also liked the bathroom which is clean and much newer than the other part of the room.The room doesn't have air condition. It can get hot.

Great Location!

Great location! Room was large and clean with a big bathroom (hidden behind a panel in the wall which was cool) and excellent toiletries. There was a big TV with access to Netflix etc, coffee machine, fridge and free WiFi. The small courtyard at the front of the hotel was really cute and I wished we’d had time to enjoy it more (with a bottle of wine!). The only real negative we found was that there is either a bar next to the hotel or behind it and although it wasn’t noisy, our room was in the ground floor and there was a table of people sat outside our windows which didn’t feel very secure when we then went out as the old windows are just slid up/ down to open and close so nothing would have stopped someone getting in the room when we left. Perhaps if there was a safe in the room it would have set my mind at ease a bit.

Great hotel and staff were super friendly. Excellent location. Only issue for me as a solo female traveller was that there was no internal lock on the door so it felt unsafe and exposed. I ended up moving furniture so that there was something against the door to prevent someone using a keycard and gaining easy access.

Judges Court image comes across as a bit dark, all about crime, punishment and justice. Our room (no. 7) appeared to be panelled, but was painted white, completely destroying any atmosphere. Both toilet roll holders were loose on the wall. The tap installation by the was hand basin was loose. While the window recess was cushioned, the rest of the room's furniture was a bit basic. Fine if it had been a prison cell, but this was supposed to be a judge's quarters. There was only one chair and it had no cushioning at all. Overall, the room was a bit basic and a bit tired for what it cost.

This hotel is packed with original features but I didn't see any of the amenities it has to offer. There is no lift. And due to the age of the building, it's quite loud so either bring ear plugs or be a heavy sleeper.

Keep away from room 1

Enjoyed York , disappointed in our room which was in the basement cellar (memories of Liverpool cavern club). No views at all had to have the lights on all the time we were there .. the staff were really nice and friendly.
