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.

I come here to stay while I attend a film festival and it’s so convenient for the cinema. I have returned three years running. It’s a great hotel and the staff are genuinely lovely.

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

Cute and Convenient

As a small, tucked away hotel in the midst of the city, Judges Hotel fit what we wanted n visiting York. History was literally written on the walls. It is tiny and the stairwell is somewhat difficult to navigate wit our travel bags, but the experience was worth it. Situated just blocks from everything, we enjoyed our stay.

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.

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.
