Great location. Main building is quirky and beautiful. We were in a room not in the main building. There was a strong smell of damp. I informed housekeeper about one bulb not working and a faulty bedside light. She insisted I must be mistaken, when she checked She reluctantly agreed I was right. Overall a pleasant stay but smell of damp and dismissive housekeeper tainted the experience

Rude staff and room was an outhouse in the courtyard behind the bar

Terrace room we booked looked out directly into diners and drinkers a few feet away so blinds kept closed. Room was clean but needed a refresh as furnishings tired, walls marked, blinds broken. Building is well located with an interesting history and the cellar bar was good. There are much better rooms elsewhere for the price

Very friendly staff, spacious clean rooms, well furnished and comfortable bed. This is definitely a do over if we return to York.

Very clean comfortable room with stylish decor and furnishings. First class breakfast and service.

Comfortable and safe stay, but this did not feel like a 5* experience. The room was beautiful however, it was cramped for 2 adults and 2 children. We had dinner at the restaurant, which was average at best however, the breakfast was very good with a varied selection. The hotel is an excellent choice for its location but just didn’t match its 5 star reputation.

Pros: central location, amazing breakfast, gorgeous main building, beautiful Christmas decorations. Cons: shabby room (poor quality furniture, black mold, dripping condescension), tiny room, bad view of wall/alley (we booked courtyard room but it was a side annex past bins and bike rack), loud and stern check in staff. I don’t think this hotel deserves such a high rating, but if you splash out on a fancy room then you would be happier. The terrace rooms are more modern and might also be better quality. Avoid the courtyard rooms!

Ideal location for a city trip. Staff very friendly. Food excellent, rooms very clean.

The room was impeccable, with lovely thoughtful touches such as a radio and bath robes. The products in the bathroom were an extremely high quality. Comfy bed and perfect locations. The staff were so friendly too. Would highly reccomend.

We loved staying at Judges Lodgings. Our visit to York was an early Christmas treat and the hotel was beautiful and we received a warm welcome. The rooms were lovely, clean, comfortable and stylish. Breakfast was first class. Will definitely come back and would highly recommend.

Brilliant room, staff were excellent

The hotel was beautiful. Breakfast spectacular. Be aware - there is no locked storage area if you arrive early. When they communicate that they will store your luggage until check-in time, it is just sitting out below a set of stairs for other patrons to see and potentially remove.

Absolutely great room, breakfast was fantastic, and the lady host Aga was perfect and very friendly. We would recommend this hotel A word of warning do not confuse this hotel with judges court, they are not the same. We look forward to returning.

Very clean, spacious room, comfy bed. Breakfast was tasty & there was a good menu choice. Hotel was centrally located which was handy.

Great stay in a perfect location for exploring the city

Great location and really unique place to stay in York. Convenient to train station and anywhere you want to go within York. Lovely breakfast and well appointed rooms. Great pub too! I would stay here again for sure!

This is a wonderful old building with quaint decor, a lovely staff, and very tasty breakfast. It's perfectly located being both easy to get to from the train station and a short stroll from the sites of York. There is a bit of noise from the bars, but luckily they provide ear plugs of you need them.

Had a great stay. Only 3 points of issue, in room. 1. lumpy pillows 2. smell from the drains 3. no fridge

Great staff, beautiful room, great breakfast included, with very nice restaurant. No air conditioning and 66 steps up to your room, with no elevator. Beautiful hotel in a nice area, but you need to be very mobile to stay there.

Good location
