Stayed at the judges lodgings for the first time & will be back. Stunning period property with a really helpful staff. Has recently undergone a lot of work which is ongoing but guests are not disrupted by the work. Whilst we were there the scaffold was taken down to reveal the stunning exterior. With the bar now open I cannot... More

Many thanks for your fantastic review!

I have to say the builders have done a fine job and the building is looking in great shape once more. Our cellar bar has now... More

This is a really clean, friendly and well located hotel. Our room was beautiful with a lovely view of the minster, fixtures and fitting were all really high quality. we have stayed in York many times and this is by far the best value for money we have found.

The Judges Lodgings is ideally suited to enjoy all York has to offer, though as I am familiar with the city i would avoid trying to find the place with a car, park and walk it would be so much easier. The staff we met during our stay were helpful, warm and welcoming, everything was done with a smile. The... More

The strengths and weaknesses of the hotel for me are that this is not a corporate hotel. Our room was beautiful, and the location was second to none. Not being corporate meant that it had its own personal and intimate feel, which I liked very much. On the down side the staff allowed a number of guests to take breakfast... More

Really nice hotel, the location doesn't get much better. We had a room on the top floor with views over to yorkminster. The room was lovely although I do agree with the other reviews that say its quite noisy sometimes. Breakfast is a bit minimal, we only had the hotel breakfast one morning as Bettys tearoom is just around the... More
