- Noise
“Noise isn't really an issue as the room has double glazing. The bells from St Mary's are pretty loud, however, with the double glazing you can hardly hear them.” (Jan 2008)
“An extra double-glazing window panel for each window so noise not really an issue; having said that, the bells on Sunday penetrate the window. Truck noises in the morning only an issue for v. light sleepers or if you leave the window open.” (Jan 2006)
“overlooks kings parade, therefore bit noisy in mornings” (Jan 2004)
“Looks directly down King's Parade so some general noise and a the bells of Great St Mary's are quite loud if you want to sleep on Sunday mornings.” (Jan 2003)
- Gyp Room
“Best gyp room in Old Courts. Just along the corridor, very spacious and only shared between a handful of people. Was refurbished just over a year ago. All in all, excellent!” (Jan 2008)
“Small gyp room (only room for 2 people really, and then crammed); close to the room; well stocked with gear - currently 2 half-fridges, one with a freezer section, microwave, proper oven, 2 metal electric hobs, sink, dish draining space, a bit of wooden counter and small space for pots below that. No cupboards.” (Jan 2006)
“4 sharing, small. decent facilities (oven & hob).” (Jan 2004)
“4 people share - has oven as well as standard hob.” (Jan 2003)
- Bath Room
“Toilet and sinks on the same floor. Have to go up one floor to shower. On the floor above there are two bathrooms, both with showers, really high pressure and there's a never-ending supply of hot water! Never had to queue for a shower so not an issue.” (Jan 2008)
“Decent-size bathroom, shower a little small as always but with good temperature + pressure, 1 toilet stall, 2 sinks, not far from room.” (Jan 2006)
“4 sharing. good size. shower, wc, 2 basins” (Jan 2004)
“4 people share - shower only (no bath). Very near room” (Jan 2003)
- Furniture
“Desk, lots of shelves, built in wardrobe which has hanging and shelve space, coffee table, armchair, two built in cupboards under the windows, and two small window seats which have views directly down King's Parade.” (Jan 2008)
“Desk a little small, 2 armchairs, bed alright but not great, 4-doored inset-to-wall wardrobe but only one section has space for clothing on hangers and the wardrobe is narrow so that you can't close that door when there are clothes in there. Other parts of wardrobe are just shelf space. One door has fairly large mirror stuck on the inside. Also 2 bookshelves up on the wall behind the desk. Mantlepiece jutting out from another wall about walled-up former fireplace. Small bedside table, 2 cupboards under the windows. 2 windows, but separate, and both rather narrow. No bulletin board.” (Jan 2006)
“2 armchairs & fridge” (Jan 2004)
“There is a fridge in the room. Apart from that it is normal” (Jan 2003)
- Best Feature
“The fact that it was refurbished just over a year ago (new carpet, repainted and new curtains), excellent heating, high ceiling, AMAZING view (straight down King's Parade - with window seats so you can sit there and watch the world go by!), lots of storage space and it's only up one flight of stairs so not a hassle when moving in.” (Jan 2008)
“Size, view over King's Parade, location, south-facing (roughly).” (Jan 2006)
“view, fridge” (Jan 2004)
“view” (Jan 2003)
- Worst Feature
“Can't really think of any!” (Jan 2008)
“Wardrobe layout, no basin, cramped desk, narrow windows.” (Jan 2006)
“sunday morning noise” (Jan 2003)
- General Comments
“Bought an extra lamp as it can be a bit dull during the day during winter. Bedder is excellent - she makes my bed, helps with the washing up and is very very nice too. Decor - recently repainted so perfect. One big radiator which is more than enough to heat the whole room. Plenty of sockets but, as always, best to bring multi-plug adaptors! All in all, a very good room - I would highly recommend it.” (Jan 2008)
“Temperature comfortable, enough electrical sockets if you bring extension cords for computer etc. Sunlight OK. Network socket works (you want the one on the left). Bedder friendly and currently comes in at a healthy 2:30pm most of the time. High-ceilinged. Space above wall-inset wardrobe for boxes etc.” (Jan 2006)
“has two fairly narrow windows so not the brightest of rooms.” (Jan 2003)
