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

We had a courtyard room and it was very noisy. Oh

Very small room Staff very abrupt Complimentary water only on first night

This is a very old building and it has been lovingly and beautifully restored. Perfect location in York to stay. Easy walk from the train station and close to the York Minster and the Shambles market. Dozens of restaurants, pubs and shops around the hotel. Cannot wait to go back!

Adorable, charming and comfortable hotel. Our room was cozy, bed, pillows and comforter were extremely comfy. We slept great. Loved the skylight in the bathroom. Staff was extremely attentive and helpful. Wonderful location with tons to walk to.

I had an absolutely wonderful stay at Judges Lodgings in York! The property itself is charming, full of character, and perfectly located for exploring the city. What really made the experience exceptional, though, was the outstanding customer service. Jacqueline went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect—from her warm welcome to her attentive care throughout our stay
