Noise

“Bit noisy in the mornings from dustbin lorries going to Hugh's Hall (down the road). Otherwize ok.” (Jan 2008)

“Binmen some days dunno when really, pretty quiet mostly. Sometimes chavs come down and wheelspin outside. Builders have just left this week so i guess that isnt a problem.” (Jan 2005)

“Noisy. College managed to take out all the soundproofing in the house when refurbishing. For a dead end street Mortimer Rd has a lot of traffic- the exit from Kelsey Kerridge multistorey is here, gets busiest 4-6pm. Also, near the fire station, and the back wall of the swimming pool creates a nice echo.” (Jan 2003)

Gyp Room

“Really good gyp room shared between 4 of us. Working hobs (at the mo).” (Jan 2008)

“Pretty big, 5 people sharing it only problem is it only has rings.” (Jan 2005)

“Good & modern. Used by 4-5 people. Right beside room” (Jan 2003)

Bath Room

“Really good shower room shared between two.” (Jan 2008)

“3 of us share the bathroom but i dont wash much so thats fine by me. Theres a bath next door if you're keen (houses 5&6 are interconnected) otherwise its only a shower.” (Jan 2005)

“Shower/ toilet on mezzanine floor. Used by 2-3 people. Bath is in house 5” (Jan 2003)

Furniture

“Desk, wardrobe, chest of draws, bedside table, coffee table, two good chairs, bookcase, bed AND a drinks-cabinate.” (Jan 2008)

“Desk is biggish. 3chairs, one wardrobe shitloads of drawers. Bookcase, bed the usual.” (Jan 2005)

“Fair sized desk. 2 armchairs, 2 chests of drawers, bookcase, useful sideboard, inadequate wardrobe” (Jan 2003)

Best Feature

“Its really spacious” (Jan 2008)

“Dunno its got big windows i guess - if the best feature is not something of yours you're doing something wrong.” (Jan 2005)

“Recently refurbished. Airy” (Jan 2003)

Worst Feature

“Big windows at the front make it a tad chilly at times.” (Jan 2008)

“The door is a bit of a bitch has one of those shutting mechanisms so you cant prop it open unless you put like the whole wardrobe against it, but im really scraping the barrel its a pretty good room.” (Jan 2005)

“Hostelkeeper lives in basement and doesn't like noise.” (Jan 2003)

General Comments

“Bedder good, house nice.” (Jan 2008)

“The bedder is the housekeeper for Morty 1,2,5,6,7 and 8 and she lives downstairs. She is very nice. She and her husband are both really thoughtful, and if you are thoughtful back they have no complaints. Big thumbs up.” (Jan 2005)

“Hostelkeeper really doesn't like noise, eg walking upstairs, doors closing, toilets flushing in the night. But we get lots of little notes and reminders to help us to remember to tiptoe.” (Jan 2003)
