- Noise
“Never noisy in the bedroom. The living room can be noisy late in the evenings due to the chavs in their fleet of cars racing around market square, but it usually doesn't last very long!” (Jan 2007)
“Bedroom quiet, study has gentle noise from the marketplace. Sound travels generally on the corridor, but its pretty good overall.” (Jan 2006)
“Bedroom not noisy at all except sometimes people coming home but this has never disturbed me. Living room overlooks market square so obviously get the noise from that but I've never found it a problem and it gives you something to look at when you're bored of work.” (Jan 2005)
“The bedroom overlooks St. Mike's, so there's very little street noise, etc, but can be a bit noisy when people are coming in and out, but that's to be expected.” (Jan 2004)
“not bad” (Jan 2003)
- Gyp Room
“I'm right next to the gyp room. I share with 3 other people. It's big enough to fit everyone, though all the kitchens in H could do with more table top surface space.” (Jan 2007)
“Fairly small, very cold. Gas hobs better than electricity for cooking on. Right next to room.” (Jan 2006)
“Next door to my room so very convenient. 4 people share it and it's a very decent size so 2 people can cook at once (although there are only 2 hobs). Probably best gyp room I've had yet.” (Jan 2005)
“Next door to the gyp room, reasonable size, shared with three other people.” (Jan 2004)
“good size, 4 people share, right next to room, two outdated gas burners though” (Jan 2003)
- Bath Room
“There are 2 bathrooms. One just has a toilet and the other has a toilet and a power shower in a cubicle, not like the showers in a bath tub which tend to be pretty crap. This is not the same for each floor on H.” (Jan 2007)
“Very nice hot shower, recently replaced. Sink in room. 4 rooms sharing toilet and showerroom with toilet. Again, pretty good.” (Jan 2006)
“Two toilets, one shower, no bath. But the shower is very decent. Bathroom and separate toilet next door to my bedroom. 4 people sharing which is fine - I rarely have to queue for the shower.” (Jan 2005)
“Two bathrooms, one with a shower between all four people on the floor” (Jan 2004)
“very good, toilet and shower room with toilet right next to room, 4 people sharing” (Jan 2003)
- Furniture
“In the bedroom I have a comfy chair. Also in my living room I have a large desk, a large dining table which can open out to accomodate more people. I have 2 comfy chairs, a regular chair and a swiverly desk chair. I also have a large coffee table.” (Jan 2007)
“Large desk, large table, small table, two comfy chairs, swivel chair, dresser, book shelf. Again, good.” (Jan 2006)
“In bedroom: sparse - bed and little bedside table but no chair. But there is lots of cupboard and drawer space and the sink is a big bonus. Living room: decent sized desk, lareg table, nice round coffee table, comfy arm chair, desk chair and a bookcase/cupboard thing. Also loads of built-in cupboard space which is very useful.” (Jan 2005)
“Large dining table, two chairs, small coffee table, large desk, big bookcase and a weird thing on wheels. Also has a good (hopefully safe) gas fire.” (Jan 2004)
“desk, lots of cupboards, 3 chairs” (Jan 2003)
- Best Feature
“It overlooks market square. There's loads of space for books etc. Also the cupboards in the living room are really spacious to hide away boxes etc.” (Jan 2007)
“View of marketplace and great st mary's. Great location, great study room.” (Jan 2006)
“Great to have two rooms both of which are a decent size and newly decorated. I really like being in the centre of town and overlooking market square.” (Jan 2005)
“Overlooks the market square, realy lively view, close to college, large with no real problems posed by having the other room across the corridor.” (Jan 2004)
“very big, 2 separate rooms, close to centre of town, etc.” (Jan 2003)
- Worst Feature
“It is not well lit and the noise can be rather annoying sometimes.” (Jan 2007)
“Gas heating in study (can't leave it on) - gets very cold at night! Slightly poky bedroom.” (Jan 2006)
“In an ideal world I'd like another armchair and a chair in the bedroom.” (Jan 2005)
“Terrible curtains, and large tissuepaper windows means that it can get very cold quite quickly even with the fire on.” (Jan 2004)
“expensive” (Jan 2003)
- General Comments
“Great sunlight in study in morning, generally really good. These rooms are pretty desirable as college rooms go.” (Jan 2006)
“THe carpet is pretty terrible, but the room makes up for it. Very bright, and hilarious to watch loads of people stagger by at night and loads of tourists look at the red phoneboxes during the day.” (Jan 2004)
“sweet room, very close to college etc, expensive though” (Jan 2003)
