- Noise
“Can be noisy some evenings as the bedroom overlooks Rose Crescent. However, the double glazing (not present in most St Mike's rooms) is pretty good. It doesn't disturb me.” (Jan 2008)
“Bedroom is over Rose Cres but with earplugs it is normally OK. Living room has two windows, one over corner of Rose Cres, one over Trinity Street. It can get pretty loud. Also who you have on your staircase makes a difference - I can hear movement in the room above me and the doors to the rooms are no guard whatsoever against noise on the stairs.” (Feb 2007)
“noisy most of the time but worst just after closing time” (Jan 2006)
“Bedroom overlooks rose cresent; can be noisy with wondows open but double glazing is pretty effective.” (Jan 2004)
“Quite noisy at night - bedroom is above Rose Cresent, so noise from Gardies goes on until about 2am - but not too bad once you get used to it.” (Jan 2003)
- Gyp Room
“Room has its own gyproom, which is pretty cool.” (Jan 2008)
“I have a private gyp-cum-cupboard attached to my lounge which contains a cupboard and a microwave but no sink or much space. Also share the main kitchen with the other two people on the floor.” (Feb 2007)
“have own gyp room with hob but also communal gyp room shared between 3” (Jan 2006)
“living room has it's own gyp room with a hob but no sink, main gyp room is on the same floor shared by 3 people, one hob, one sink, fridge and microwave.” (Jan 2004)
“Proper kitchen across the corridor shared by 3 people (plenty of room), also the room itself has a very small kitchen of its own containing a small hob and a cupboard.” (Jan 2003)
- Bath Room
“Bathroom is in the basement. The only problem is that hot water can take 15 mins to arrive in the morning, as it's pumped from F, so be patient.” (Jan 2008)
“Bathrooms are in the basement - quite a few and as the only girl I have never had to Q for a shower (they are separate boys/girls). Pain in the arse if you have a small bladder/are extremely lazy.” (Feb 2007)
“2 showers 2 toilets in basement. make sure u plan your bathroom breaks to coincide with entering or leaving the building” (Jan 2006)
“bathroom in basement, 3 floors down. 2 showers for the guys, 2 for the girls plus a bath. hot water is temperamental out of term but otherwise ok.” (Jan 2004)
“Bathroom is quite a way from the room - in the basement, ie 3 flights of stairs down. Apart from that fine.” (Jan 2003)
- Furniture
“The furniture is pretty good. The living room has a large desk, office chair, sofa, two arm chairs, a small table and a nice book shelf and cupboard thing.” (Jan 2008)
“Bedroom: bed, wardrobe, shelving unit thing. Living Room: desk, 2 generic caius chairs, coffee table, 2 seater chair, dresser.” (Feb 2007)
“fairly standard” (Jan 2006)
“large desk with swivel chair, coffee table, 2 arm chairs and an uncomfy 2 seater sofa/chair.” (Jan 2004)
“Large desk, dresser, chair and sofa in living room.” (Jan 2003)
- Best Feature
“It's a set, and a fairly large one (compared to many in St Mikes). Having your own personal gyp room is quite a nice feature. There's a nice view down Trinity Lane from the living room. Having double glazing is definitely a good thing as well.” (Jan 2008)
“That it's a set, reasonable sized (large cat or small sheep) and the baby "kitchen" is great. Cosy, plenty of storage space.” (Feb 2007)
“own gyp room” (Jan 2006)
“reasonable size” (Jan 2004)
“Layout - feels like a little flat!” (Jan 2003)
- Worst Feature
“Both rooms are north and west facing, so receive less light than other rooms. However, it's never really that dark, the windows are large.” (Jan 2008)
“No natural light at all in bedroom (makes it sooo easy just not to wake up), very little in lounge (need light plus lamp most of the time). A bit shabbier than other St Mikes rooms and view is only good at an angle.” (Feb 2007)
“2 far from bathrooms” (Jan 2006)
“bathroom in basement and lack of clothes storage space.” (Jan 2004)
“Distance from the toilets.” (Jan 2003)
- General Comments
“I was almost bottom of the ballot so this was great for me. Plenty of sockets and the heating works fine. I'm giving it 8 cos it is right in the centre, away from the porters and has internet and quite a bit of space. The comparatively shabby carpet/walls and lack of light and view mean it's not a 9 or 10.” (Feb 2007)
“redecorated in the past few years so not too shabby, electric heater fries anything within 20 cm while the rest of the room stays cold. Very little direct sunlight compared with other rooms on the staircase.” (Jan 2004)
