- Noise
“It's a really quiet place except for when the bin-men come along at 7am! The rest of the time it's excellent. Way better than H.C.” (Jan 2005)
“no noise at all from outside. Depends on people in hostel.” (Jan 2003)
- Gyp Room
“Hah! It's a joke. Absolutely TINY, on floor below. There's not even enough room for the fridge, so it's on the floor above (outside my door!) Seriously, only 1 person can stand in the kitchen at a time! It's got a good microwave, but that plus a kettle and toaster takes up all the workspace, so we have to prepare food on the draining board!” (Jan 2005)
“5 people to one (very small) gyp room, but has most things you need. Just don't try cooking at the same time as someone else.” (Jan 2003)
- Bath Room
“Not a bad bathroom, on floor below shared between all 5 occupants. Electric shower.” (Jan 2005)
“5 people to one shower, sink and toilet. All of these are in the same room, this can lead to friction.” (Jan 2003)
- Furniture
“Very good - 2 large and comfy armchairs, decent desk chair, reasonable desk space, mini coffee table on rollers (I use it as a bedside table). Shelves, cupboard with drawers and cabinets, and a wardrobe.” (Jan 2005)
“Decent furniture, but nothing special.” (Jan 2003)
- Best Feature
“It's very quiet, nice and warm. Good storage. Cheap.” (Jan 2005)
“quiet, far away from everything so can get work done. Landlady cleans thoroughly and is generally nice.” (Jan 2003)
- Worst Feature
“Small, on the top floor (you have to go down a level for kitchen and bathroom), not much of view. No network connection or washbasin.” (Jan 2005)
“sloped walls are very annoying, no network connection. Further than most other hostels” (Jan 2003)
- General Comments
“The view from the window is along the rooftops of the street. The room gets the afternoon sun, which is really good. The landlady does a decent job of keeping the place clean, unlike the slackers at H.C. There's only 1 double-socket, but it's between the bed and desk. Central heating is very good. Walls slope in coz' it's in the roof, but you get used to it and it's not a problem.” (Jan 2005)
“If you're at the bottom of the ballot, and you will be if you think of taking this room. It has no major disadvantages and at least it's not St. Barnabas.” (Jan 2003)
