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

Great location in town but it was a small hike from parking lot. Close to shopping, bars and restaurants. You do need to climb very narrow steps so don’t bring a lot of bags. No a/c. Room was nice and bathroom had been remodeled and was super nice.
