Judges court hotel

Stayed in judges court hotel for 2 days , we was in room 6 with the roll top bath , room was lovely could not fault and the reception staff were welcoming . Had everything we needed also close by to the shops . Me and my partner were doing our paranormal investigations in our room and safe to say quite a few spirits came through especially the little boy named William who sits on the chair in the reception 👻. Haven’t been to York since I was a child and now returning 22 years later it’s fun knowing the history of York and it’s very interesting. We would highly recommend this hotel it’s was a great experience.

Very central property, very convenient for visiting the city. Not quite the 5* we expected but was ok for one night. Our room was down under ground level with an interesting view over gutter pipes and it was quite noisy - both from inside and outside the hotel. We only booked one night, it is unlikely we would have stayed longer than this.

Weekend Away

Pros: location very central to railway station, shops and attractions. Good communication prior to stay, able to store luggage until room ready and access slightly early as room ready on arrival. Bed comfortable, warm room, good shower, fluffy towels and heated bathroom floor. Cons: decor overall very tired, ground floor room with window directly next to pub garden (luckily it was Feb and very cold otherwise would have had to keep window/curtains closed for privacy and safety). Noisy at night either due to external fan (didn't stop until 3am Sun morning) and/or internal fans from rooms above. Despite fab location wouldn't stay again. And yes we know it's an old building and city centrally located.

The room was nice if a little old and creepy with an old 18c cartoon image on the wall. Staff were very polite, the room had a very good shower. But the bed was very uncomfortable and the room was very noisy. Both inside and out. Didnt really sleep for 3 days (2 nights) as you could hear everything. The room temperatures were either very hot or coldp, for both of us anything in between was impossible to guage with the central heating and were asked to keep the window open in the welcoming document which is frankly rediculous. We averaged a couple of hours sleep and when i wope up on the second night at 3AM if we would have a backup would have checked out there and then. Alright place but has issues and would not return.

Cheap and central

Hotel was quite difficult to find as lots of the road outside was dug up . Original person in reception was not very friendly . We were on the too Floor and the stairs were very steep and winding . Room was fine if the paint was a little in need of a spruce up . The beds were comfortable if a little close together . The room was very hot even with the radiator turned off and the window open . Bathroom was volcanic . If you are looking for cheap and central then this is for you .

The room was not ready when we arrived but the lovely cleaner finished it for us so we could get in early. Unfortunately the next day we were just going out when the cleaner came in. When we arrived back in the bed had not been made, and there was an empty bottle in there so it hadnt been cleaned at all. Just to make a point clear it was not the same cleaner as the day before.

Enjoyed our stay here. Our room was a good size and had everything we needed, great location and friendly staff. Could have done with a bit of paint in some areas and stains on base of bed and net curtains but didnt effect our stay. Would come back :)

We left after the first night and we were refunded for the second night. - WiFi didn’t work - TV apps didn’t work - Mold on the curtains - strong smell of sewage and damp - Unfinished decorating - Chipped walls and furniture - missing items from the advertisement photo - Unhelpful night staff - seemed unbothered. Morning staff was helpful and understanding. - Photos and 4 star rating gave us higher expectations - should have stuck to premier inn - Told to keep windows open in the day, but on the ground floor anyone could get in (probably to cover smell of sewage up) - My partners 30th birthday came to a short end.

Beautiful hotel. Comfortable with great service in a perfect location. The only inconvenience was the lack of hot water. The shower was barely warm which made our stay difficult
