- Noise
“The bedroom is double glazed so only the rowdiest noise gets through at night - even then its not loud and won't keep you awake. Theres never any noise in the living room as it faces onto st mikes.” (Jan 2006)
“Lounge has minimal noise as it borders St Mikes Court. Bedroom overlooks rose cres but it is at the far end from gardies and had double glazing so it has almost never bothered me.” (Feb 2005)
“Some noise from Rose Crec. in the bedroom in the evenings” (Jan 2003)
- Gyp Room
“Its shared with F3 - you have to enter either room to get to it so if some food goes missing you know exactly who did it! Its a reasonable size and gets the job done. Each room has its own fridge but theres no microwave.” (Jan 2006)
“A great thing about this room is that the kitchen is a part of the suite - it joins my room to F3, so you dont have to go outside to make food at 1am.” (Feb 2005)
“2 people sharing a gyp room which runs between the 2 rooms - ie no-one can just wander in, you can only get in from one of the rooms. There is a sink and 2 gas rings but that's it.” (Jan 2003)
- Bath Room
“Theres a shower and toilet on the second floor (up one flight of stairs) which i think is unique in St Mikes. Both are fine.” (Jan 2006)
“Up one flight of stairs. This is fine though as it means the rooms on our floor are much bigger as we dont have bathroom facilities taking up space.” (Feb 2005)
“Toilet and shower either one floor up or 2 floors down” (Jan 2003)
- Furniture
“In the living room I have 3 normal chairs, 2 comfy chairs, a desk chair, a largish desk, a really good dining table and a few other storage bits. The bedroom has a bed (!) a wardrobe and some drawers along with the sink.” (Jan 2006)
“Desk, very substantial old wooden dinning table with chairs, two sets of shelves, two of those blue chairs, my own fridge - bedroom has a set of drawers.” (Feb 2005)
“Desk, coffee table, dining room table, 2 bookshelves and chairs in living room. Large cupboard and a chest of drawers in the bedroom ( and a bed!)” (Jan 2003)
- Best Feature
“Its really, really big so you can have people round all the time (and theres loads of chairs!). The big dining table is also surprisingly useful.” (Jan 2006)
“Its pretty cool really.” (Feb 2005)
“The combination of size and location and just generally being a really lovely room” (Jan 2003)
- Worst Feature
“Its had the gas fire taken out so the fireplace looks a bit weird. Its expensive. A sofa wouldn't hurt .. maybe im just greedy.” (Jan 2006)
“The only real drawback of this room is it would be great to have a couch. I made one on the floor with cushions etc...” (Feb 2005)
“The kitchen is a bit pokey - but it is only for 2 people” (Jan 2003)
- General Comments
“New curtains have just been put in so they look dapper. No gas fire means you have to use an electric one (which i prefer anyway). This is a definite "top of the ballot" room, although the even numbers of F staircase are even bigger.” (Jan 2006)
“The ODD numbered rooms in this staircase have better furnishings (carpet/curtains) and are usually bigger. Ample wardrobe space, ok sunlight (for England!), bedder is a good mix of helpful without being obstrusive (invite ehr round for morning tea some day!). Basically, this room has no jaw dropping features but has everything you could really want in a room (kitchen, not split, big, washbasin, well appointed, no porter prolblems...) which makes it a good pick. I know that someone right at the top of the ballot will be choosing this room this year so you might want to find something else.” (Feb 2005)
