What guests think
Judge's Lodging is a characterful, historic inn in a very central, walkable spot, widely praised for friendly staff, tasty breakfasts and a cosy pub, though some guests report street/bar noise, many stairs, and no elevator or air conditioning.
Room quality varies from spacious and stylish to small or basic, and some annex or terrace rooms differ from expectations. Cleanliness is widely praised, though a handful mention maintenance or housekeeping lapses and limited, unsecured luggage storage. Car access and parking are inconvenient, with off-site options and tricky drop-offs. Overall, it suits travellers who prefer character and a lively setting over modern conveniences.

Very historic property which is close to train station and all sites of interest. Overall great service. It should be noted that there is no AC nor elevator do to historic nature of property. Usually not a big deal as it is seldom "warm" in York and there are staff who will assist if one needs help with luggage. Bathroom was wonderful.

The decor on entry was beautiful, but there was no reception staff on arrival. Eventually they turned. There was lots of unguarded luggage, which is concerning. The room was lovely but the outside noise from staff moving barrels and glasses at unsociable hours was disappointing. On departure the front desk refused to store our luggage, they said they had no space. Never experienced this before and it is a real prblem with regard to luggage storage and security.

Not really what we expected from the photos and description. We booked a terrace room which turned out to be a room accessed downstairs through the very busy hotel pub and facing directly into the pub windows and its courtyard, with the beer terrace above the room. We were told that pub customers are asked not to use the courtyard after 9pm. We asked for a different room and staff were very good at finding us a small double room in the main building, which was OK although storage was a bit limited. If you want to leave luggage, be aware they don't store it in a secure cupboard - it's left out on view in the lobby next to the reception desk (not staffed all the time). We were told it was because it's an old building and there's no space.

Had a wonderful two night stay here. The room was clean and had everything we needed. Tassimo coffee machine as well as a kettle and tea options. Dressing gowns and slippers as well as towels. Room was tidied and restocked before our second night, extra milk delivered for the morning to our doorstep. Absolutely wonderful place. We ate here for one evening meal, food was delicious and served in good time. Had a great time.

The staff are tuned into accommodating their guests at the hotel and in their restaurant. I had a wonderful stay. The room was newly upgraded, had nice accessories and so very clean. Various coffees, teas and a couple sweet snacks topped it off. The one thing to be aware of is that three are lots of steps to get in and around this hotel. It is a gem otherwise.

Large patio for dinner and drinks. Centrally located to train station, easy to walk to hotel, however in old town so you are not in the train station area. Staff very friendly and accommodating. Property appears to be going through upgrading which is freshening up key areas but not disrupting guests stay. Rooms could use cleaning attention around baseboards and windows. This is typical of a majority of properties.

The hotel is beautiful, we had a room however in a anex little house next to it which was surprising next to the kitchens so the smell of food was quite persistent. What I didn’t like is that on our last day the Hotel did not give us any towels and since we left early to get a train we had to dry ourselves with our own clothes since the hotel tool away the towels we used before and didn’t give us any back.

Rooms
Characterful rooms range from spacious and stylish to small or basic, depending on allocation. Some courtyard/terrace or street-facing rooms are noisy, and the lack of AC can leave rooms warm in hot weather.

The staff were very nice and welcoming. The breakfast was good and the restaurant staff serving breakfast were really good. The room was tired. We booked a feature room and we’re allocated room 11. It didn’t really resemble any of the photos on the website and lacked character. It was very clean. It was also very tired in general, and the bathroom left a little to be desired I.e. lots of missing grout between floor tiles (poor hygiene), poor lighting, very loud extractor fan (almost needed ear plugs!). The windows for the room face the bin storage area, which at 11pm is quite loud as the bar staff empty the bar bottle bins. And then the noise begins again in the morning as deliveries begin. Some secondary glazing would help to control the noise. A fantastic building, but the bedroom we had let the side down unfortunately.

This property is BEAUTIFUL and the location is 10/10. The breakfast was also one of the best I've had. The only reason I can't rate our stay a 5/5 was because of our room. We stayed in the Lavender/Terrace room and it was more of a Studio space, rather than an adequate space for 2 people. It was so tight and had zero privacy. Also, the room had a musty smell that had me congested for the duration of the stay. The bed was also very uncomfortable and was on non-locking wheels which I found very strange. If you shifted at all, the bed would move and roll into the TV stand. It was all just really awkward. I would stay at the Judges Lodgings again, but I would request a larger room, not on the terrace.

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.

The "Terrace" rooms are noisy during the day with bar customer's using the area immediately outside of the rooms to smoke and talk loudly in groups. This was encouraged by a separating door to the bar being deliberately kept open (using a heavy plant pot) by some staff, even though reception staff kept closing it. Overall, it was impossible to rest in afternoon with the bed just less than some 10 feet away from the noise / smoke coming from outside. With the door open, the noise from the bar was also clearly heard well into late afternoon. Whilst reception was apologetic, and on several occasions closed the door, other staff from the bar kept opening it using the plant pot and, in addition, did not attempt to enforce any of the non smoking signs on the tables. On the raising this matter in the morning on checking out, I was given some weak excuse about some other door? not working / broken for some time and that this was their normal practice!

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.

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.

Excellent staff, kind, clean and polite; most certainly made you feel welcome. A place i fully intend to go back to. The room was clean, a couple of niggles such as the vanity light not working properly though the staff were straight onto it and fixed within a jiffy. It had been working when previously checked. The breakfasts were excellent value and table service was prompt, very prompt considering some places where i could be waiting 20 minutes. A wonderful spread of continental, fruits, pastries, cereals and juices along with full or part English options. Cups and sauces would be preferable to mugs though. The evening meals were limited in choice, though what they did present was again, excellent and the service i cannot fault.

The building is lovely, and the room was comfortable and nicely furnished. The location was excellent, being in easy walking distance of the tourist attractions and of the station. The staff were great and there was a nice selection of teas on the drinks tray.
