Very good

We stayed here in 2022 and loved the room we stayed in.
We were really keen to try our their biggest room with a rolltop bath, and so booked a year in advance. It was well worth the wait!
Gorgeous room, amazing facilities in the room, and wonderfully warm staff!
The only thing that could be added is some sort of little shelf in the shower for toiletries. I had no issues leaving my toiletries on the ground, but i appreciate others may not be able to do this during their shower.
Pretty flawless yet again, better even! We can't wait to come back and stay here again whenever that is!
Our stay was great! The hotel was close to the train station, shopping, sites, and several great food options.
The staff was friendly.
The only issue for us was the noisy bathroom fan that turned on every time the bathroom light was on. It had a horrible sound.
That said we would stay again.

Centrally located yet quiet Judges Court
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.
Lovely quirky little hotel tucked away amongst the shops but has so much character from the decor to the little touches of a coffee machine and kettle with complimentary tea, coffee and hot chocolate. Would highly recommend and definitely stay again.
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.
