- Noise
“Not too bad. Some noise from Rose Crescent at night, worst between 12 and 1.30ish, but only the most sensitive will be substantially affected.” (Jan 2008)
“The living room is nice and quiet, but the bedroom gets all the Gardies noise from Rose Crescent... Drunk people are loud. That's probably the main drawback of this room.” (Jan 2005)
“Noise from rose crescent 24/7, but not too bad.” (Jan 2004)
“bedroom overlooks rose crescent so can be a bit noisy at night. living room overlooks st mikes so is quiet and good for working.” (Jan 2003)
- Gyp Room
“This room has its own small gyp room (so in fact there are 3 rooms in this suite), but without a sink. However, a full gyp room is next door, shared with the room opposite. The benefit is that you get two sets of appliances between the two of you, which is great for cooking. Alos means you needn't leave the room to make tea.” (Jan 2008)
“Actually have my own lil gyp room with gas hob and cupboards. There's a sink in the bedroom, so I don't really use the communal gyp room just outside the room. The little gyp room in my room is tiny but usable.” (Jan 2005)
“3rd room of set - tiny, can barely turn round in it, no sink. Also another small kitchen just outside set with sink. single gas hob in each, pleanty of storage space. fridge on floor below.” (Jan 2004)
“room has its own very small kitchen (cupboards and a gas hob - no sink). there is also a kitchen between two directly outside with another hob and sink.” (Jan 2003)
- Bath Room
“1 floor down, including shower, bath, two sinks and toilet. Shared between 4 people who live on the staircase (and two fellows when in) but there are more bathrooms in the basement of St. Mike's underneath the staircase. I've never had to wait for the shower.” (Jan 2008)
“Toilets, shower and bath are down one floor, probably four people sharing - I very rarely see anyone else there though.” (Jan 2005)
“Bath and toilet on floor below. Showers in basement 4 floors down. Not much privacy, but I've never bumped into anyone else down there. Can be v. cold in mornings. Showers are hot but pressures vary.” (Jan 2004)
“toilet one floor down. showers in the basement, but are good quality and not busy.” (Jan 2003)
- Furniture
“Furniture included with the room consists of: Desk (medium) Large table Coffee Table Armchir Wooden chair Desk Chair 2 large sideboard/cupboards Shelving unit Fridge 1 smallish built in wardrobe Medicine cabinet Lockable storage area Cupboards in gyp room” (Jan 2008)

“Dining table (of sorts), normal desk, side board, coffee table, book case, swivel chair, dining chair, easy chair, hard chair, double chair (calling it a sofa would be too generous), chest-of-draws.” (Jan 2004)
“large table. ok desk. lots of nice oak furniture, cabinet, table drawers. chairs and a double chair.” (Jan 2003)
- Best Feature
“Size, character, excellent if a friend lives next door, great for having guests, generally light during the day (living room faces West). Generally an excellent room for comfort. Peaceful, out of the way so allows you to get plenty done.” (Jan 2008)
“Big living room, has own little gyp room, fireplace is pretty good at keeping it warm.” (Jan 2005)
“VAST amounts of space, don't have to go to basement for toilet, AMAZING view of the spires of Cambridge, lots of storage space (in term and for holidays - lockable).” (Jan 2004)
“it is big and self contained, with own kichen. like living in a flat. also large newly decorated rooms.” (Jan 2003)
- Worst Feature
“The gas heater is broken but college supply an electric one, thus takes a while to heat up. Some noise at night in the bedroom, slightly dingy during the evenings, so will need extra lighting.” (Jan 2008)
“Getting woken up between midnight & 2am by people in Rose Crescent - That's gonna be fun for finals...” (Jan 2005)
“3 floors up, fridge on floor below, very few surfaces in kitchens to put anything on, showers 4 floors down, gets cold very easily.” (Jan 2004)
“bedroom can be a bit noisy at night” (Jan 2003)
- General Comments
“Generally excellent. Bedder friendly, and doesn't disturb you when you're still asleep! Two double sockets in main room, one single in bedroom - may need extensions depending on what you bring. Radiator in bedroom to assist heating. Decor plain but lots of scope for personal touches!” (Jan 2008)
“Gets good light in both rooms, lots of storage space hidden away” (Jan 2005)
“Very large lockable cupboard in wall. G&C crested fire places in living room and bedroom(not painted). Gas fire heats living room well, but the room is freezing when its not on (eg 1st thing in the morning).” (Jan 2004)
“bedder is ok, doesnt clean much. furniture is excellent. sunlight is not too bad considering the size of room. additional lamp optional.” (Jan 2003)
