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.

Very comfortable and great location

Perfect location in the heart of York. Need to have your eyes peeled to find it down the passageway off the main road. Room, large, quiet and comfortable. Staff all lovely. Only negative was very small bathroom, smallest in the hotel apparently so not ideal for someone over 6 foot.

OK but needs a bit of TLC

Friendly welcome. Room on 2nd floor up narrow windy stairs. OK for us but there’s no lift. Room clean but small and basic with damp on outside facing wall. Woodwork paint peeling. Bathroom modern, clean, well stocked. Great central location

Can't beat the location which was excellent. Room was comfortable, but was downstairs, so felt a bit like a basement room. But overall a good price for a great location.

Lovely historic building in a private gated courtyard off high street shopping area. Despite the busy streets outside, our room was very quiet. Staff were always helpful. Because of it being a 1700s building, there is no lift so be prepared for a narrow winding staircase to access most rooms.

At first glance, this hotel is quite impressive. However, the attic room we were given was extremely hot, even in March—hence the two floor fans provided. I can’t imagine they would be sufficient in summer, even in the UK. The room also lacked privacy as the blind didn’t properly cover the window, letting in daylight and floodlights at night. Noise was another major issue, with an outdoor party in the courtyard amplifying sound. It wasn’t until 2:30 AM, after we called reception, that they finally asked other guests to quiet down—why not sooner? The central location is a plus, but be aware that parking is at least a 10-minute walk away.
