The hotel has a great central location. We stayed in the double room with double showers, very spacious bathroom. Great toiletries, tea,coffee and biscuits. The bed was very comfortable too. It is an older building with no AC however, there were 2 good sized fans in the room. I would not hesitate to stay here again. There is a Q car park a few minutes walk away which is secure called Shambles.

It’s a lovely property but in need of maintenance. It is in the busy centre, but sits in the quietness of a courtyard. The staff are friendly and helpful. There is no restaurant. Breakfast is packed in a bag that you can take with you, so would forego if reduces price as plenty of really nice breakfast places in York, although not many seem to open before 8:30 or 9am.

Positives - the room was large, hotel well located in the centre, good toiletries, staff very helpful and pleasant.
Despite being a 4 star hotel it really doesn’t feel like one, much more like a 3 star. It is very worn and run down and poorly maintained with peeling paint and chunks missing out of walls. We also had a weirdly designed window that was in the eaves of the room and had mirrors in the sides and as soon as the sun came up it absolutely filled the room with light making it very difficult to sleep and I was up from 5am which impacted our trip. Picture attached was taken just after 5am so you can see how light it makes the room!
I regularly stay in York and usually stay in rooms above pubs, most of which are £30-£50 a night cheaper and 3 stars and this didn’t feel any better than those overall and I don’t think it’s worth the extra money compared to those types of accommodation.

I recently stayed at Judges Court York for three nights and, unfortunately, it was a very disappointing experience.

I completely understand that the hotel can’t control the heatwave we experienced, but the rooms were unbearably hot. The only cooling provided was a small fan, which made very little difference, and it was extremely difficult to sleep. For the price of the hotel, I would expect better facilities, especially air conditioning or a more effective way of keeping guests comfortable.

The biggest disappointment was the customer service. Most of the reception staff were rude, unwelcoming, and came across as uninterested in helping guests. A warm welcome goes a long way, especially when you’re paying premium prices, but sadly that was missing throughout most of our stay. The only positive interaction we had was with an older lady on reception, who was friendly and smiled when she let our friends into our room to surprise my sister for her 30th birthday. She was the only member of staff who made us feel welcome.

The rooms themselves are also very dated and could do with significant refurbishment. Overall, I don’t feel the hotel offers value for money.

I had booked this trip as a special treat for my sister’s 30th birthday, and she was very disappointed with the hotel. It’s a shame because the location is great, but the customer service, outdated rooms, and lack of adequate cooling really let the experience down. I hope the hotel invests in improving both its facilitie

This was the worst experience I have ever had with an Expedia property. The hotel was ranked a 4 star, and is at best a 2 start. It was filthy, had no elevator or air conditioning. The rooms were dismal and there was no way to raise the window to let in air to address the stifling heat. But mostly it was dirty and worn. The carpet and curtains were disgusting. We wanted to leave our luggage the next day because we had a train at 5pm, but we were told the hotel does not accommodate tourists with luggage and told us to use an APP to find a place to store our luggage. It was so bad, I decided it was best to leave. We quickly found another hotel and checked out of the Judges Court soon after checking in. I will ask for a refund. It was just awful. The woman at the desk was so apologetic...it was not her fault, but don't waste money on this overpriced hell hole.

The staff were very friendly and helpful but overall the hotel felt cramped and a little tired. There is no dining room, so breakfast offering is a grab and go bag but there are plenty of nice breakfast options in the area. The room was small and downstairs with a small window into a rear service yard, not the 4 star expected. The hotel entrance next to a phone shop was also not what we expected from the photos. Although accept that this is what you get from a central location.

I rarely leave negative reviews, but this was a genuinely disappointing experience. I paid £480 for two nights and ended up leaving after the first.

From the moment I arrived at Judges Court, the welcome from the receptionist was poor. The attitude felt cold and unwelcoming, which set the tone for the stay. To be fair, the staff member on duty the following morning was much more pleasant, but by then the damage was done.

The room itself was a major issue. It was located right next to reception, meaning I could hear constant noise from guests coming and going. I was woken up very early in the morning, which made it impossible to rest properly.

Cleanliness was also unacceptable. I found toilet paper left unflushed in the toilet on arrival, something I have never experienced in all my travels. For a hotel positioning itself as high-end, this is simply not acceptable.

Facilities are extremely limited, with no food options available on site. The overall condition of the room also fell short, with cabinets visibly worn and falling apart.

This is marketed as a 5-star experience, but in reality it felt closer to a 2-star standard at best. For the price paid, this was nowhere near the level expected. I would not return.

Due to misunderstanding with booking we did not get breakfast. I assumed that this was included. When I queried this with the night staff I found the lady to be robotic in her answers and not coming up with a solution. No mention as to whether I could get this included, told to speak to the day staff who advised that the breakfast inclusion only started the day after I made my booking on the 22/03. Hotel itself was clean, room was quaint.

Great location, really close to everything you'd want to see in old York. Very comfortable bed and a modern bathroom. My only quibble - and this is more my fault than that of the hotel - is that to get up to my room, on the top floor, I had to lug a giant suitcase up several flights of a winding, narrow stairway. (York was a stop on my way to work for a month - ergo the giant suitcase). No other amenities in the hotel, so if you want a bite to eat, you'll have to go out. Not a big deal, as there are countless establishments within a 10-minute walk. For comfort and location, I should give the place 4 stars. Just wish it had a \"lift\"

Disappointing room. Photos made it look amazing which it wasn’t. The floors were uneven and I expect that from being an old building but be careful if one uses the coffee machine. The table it is situated on slopes and therefore make sure one holds the cup until the coffee is made or the cup will fall off and ………no coffee! Room is in need of an update with scuffed walls. The tops of the mirrors have never seen a cloth and the fan in the showers has a mind of its own and can stay on for ages. Basically shabby and certainly not worth the money for the stay. Be careful if one wants to stay in York after checking out! They will not look after one’s bags and they tell you to Google the best place to store the luggage. In summary, worst hotel I have stayed in and one I will not be visiting any time soon!!! Avoid folks!!!!!!

For a 4 star hotel we would have expected a safe and fridge in the room, there was also no toilet brush in our bathroom and as the room wasn't cleaned during our 2 night stay (unsure why not) this was disappointing. There was a large residue of dust on the top of the bathroom mirrors.
It was not the fault of the hotel but the loud noise from the courtyard at 7am from a delivery of beer barrels both mornings was very disruptive as our room overlooked the courtyard.
The location of the hotel was great.

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

Nice hotel in the centre of York

Nice old hotel in city centre, in an area filled with shops, pubs, and restaurants. Near the Minster and the wall, and other interesting sites. Tricky to find the hotel, because you have to go through a short \"tunnel\" from the main street to get to the Court. Staff members were friendly. There is no restaurant, and hence no breakfast (as clearly advertised). However, there are plenty of places nearby for breakfast and other meals. The area was a bit noisy, especially in the morning.

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.

Room was a claustrophobic basement room. Window into a deep inescapable window well. WiFi was unuseable

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.

A clean room with a comfortable bed, extra pillows in closet, ample space, friendly/ helpful reception and reliable wifi. My only critique is the room could use a fresh coat of paint.

Excellent city centre hotel

Booked a 1 night stay over in York on our way to Pendle, we had room 3 on the lower level. Getting a large suitcase down the 2 flights of stairs is a bit of a challenge but the room itself was well equipped, clean, lovely powerful shower, comfy bed and coffee making facilities. Perfect for what we wanted
Check in was available when we turned up early which was a nice surprise.
Very quiet with it being tucked away between shops.

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.

The location was excellent and unique, the room was well furnished and charming- however the person that checked us in was rude and we felt very unwelcome. The hotel runs hot..no A/C so whilst they provided a fan the room was hot and stuffy. There was noisy airvent in the bathroom that refused to shut off making for a very noisy stay. They had warned us of construction noise in the morning so we had expected that. The email communications were more friendly than the staff.

Absolute disgrace to Yorks other wonderful hotels !!
Dated, dirty, do not address complaints, and request for owner contact. Appeared to be black mould ariynd window- gealth hazard!! Needs to close and total refurbishment. (Full review on trip advisor)
I think Expedia shiukd remive this hotel from its site - I frequently book hiteks via Expedia and bever had a bad experience, but thus hitel should not be promoted by Expedia as it reflects badly on them. Expedia dud iffer full refund if hitel agreed with room state - byt tgey were not going to do this - obviously inly interested in taking your money and not providing even a basic clean entry level hotel.
Extremely disappointing and frustrating experience- spend your money at one if the many lovely York hotels

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

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

Great place and location

The location is really cool and in the right area for the visit. This is a historical site, so not the most up to date amenities. No room service or food. No air conditioning and it was fairly hot while we were there.

Quirky hotel in a perfect location.

This is a lovely boutique hotel in the centre of the city. Perfect location for shopping, theatres and restaurants. Its ideal if you are travelling by train or public transport but if going by car there is obviously no parking. We parked on the Marygate park but it was £22.50 for about 20 hrs which would be expensive if you were to stay a few days. There is no restaurant but tea and coffee making facilities provided and plenty of eating places close by. You can also get drinks delivered to the room. The rooms are large and stylish and clean.
