Location was great, also the theme of the hotel with the artwork on the walls in the room was very nice, our room was at the front of the hotel room 8 and it was quite loud with the windows open, especially when the bin men came and delivery of beer kegs to other properties, the fan in the room was a nice touch as it was quite warm

Parking is approximately 10-12 minutes away and £25 for 24 hour stay. Staff were really nice and helpful. As the building is the old court, the windows are different sizes and the blinds difficult to block out daylight. No air conditioning. Nice molton brown products in bathroom

Great place and location

The location is really cool and in the right area for the visit. This is a historical site, so not the most up to date amenities. No room service or food. No air conditioning and it was fairly hot while we were there.

Quirky hotel in a perfect location.

This is a lovely boutique hotel in the centre of the city. Perfect location for shopping, theatres and restaurants. Its ideal if you are travelling by train or public transport but if going by car there is obviously no parking. We parked on the Marygate park but it was £22.50 for about 20 hrs which would be expensive if you were to stay a few days. There is no restaurant but tea and coffee making facilities provided and plenty of eating places close by. You can also get drinks delivered to the room. The rooms are large and stylish and clean.

Very Basic

Room was nice enough but a bit basic, considering we were in a luxury king room. But then the whole hotel was basic with no restaurant and the bar was a fridge in reception. Some staff were friendly others not so much. My main complaint is the lack of cleaning. There was a safety pin on the carpet when we arrived and it was still there when we left 3 days later. The towels were changed but the bathroom wasn't cleaned. I don't know how Judges Court got to be a 4 star hotel. Also someone should check the photos on their website as it certainly doesn't look anything like the photos. This is very misleading. Definitely won't be returning.
