- Noise
“Being above Trinity Street makes it quite noisy, especially at night, and the windows aren't double glazed which doesn't help.” (Jan 2005)
“Not bad especially for a room in the centre of town. LOts of lovely church bells and occasionally not so lovely demos or drunken people singing "We'd rather eat at Gardie's than at Caius", but generally pretty quiet (nothing like Rose Crescent or Green St).” (Jan 2004)
- Gyp Room
“Gyp room is very small, shared between 3 people. It is right outside the room, and ok for making basic things but there is almost no fridge space at all.” (Jan 2005)
“right next to my room; 3 people sharing. By college standards pretty good as it has 2 working hob plates AND a grill, but very small-a bit like a submarine...” (Jan 2004)
- Bath Room
“Bathroom facilities are two floors down shared between the entire staircase. There are two showers, one of which is very good, and a bath that has a scratchy bottom.” (Jan 2005)
“Toilet next to me, shared between 3. Bath/shower on first floor (2 down shared between 8. Biggish, fine.” (Jan 2004)
- Furniture
“Desk and wardrobe are quite large, though old, and there is a comfy chair, cabinet and small set of drawers. The bed is very uncomfortable, probably because it appears to have broken and been fixed using a plank of wood!” (Jan 2005)
“Lovely big wooden desk, plenty of bookshelves, wardrobe, random cupboard, chest of drawers beside bed, huge cushy chair, mini fridge.” (Jan 2004)
- Best Feature
“I like to think the slopey ceiling gives it some "character" (though others claim it just makes it small) and being in town makes it very convenient.” (Jan 2005)
“beautiful view over St Mike's; nice furniture; central; very typical Cambridgey feel!” (Jan 2004)
- Worst Feature
“The six flights of stairs it takes to get up here, the uncomfortable bed and lack of fridge space.” (Jan 2005)
“the stairs up to the third floor-there's so many of them” (Jan 2004)
- General Comments
“The bedder is very friendly and all in all not a bad room for a second year.” (Jan 2005)
“I love this room, everything about it is pretty good and it has such a nice feel. It's used for conference guests in the holidays so you have to pack up pretty thoroughly but it's also in really good condition! I got it in second year and it was so nice being in the centre of town, I've never regretted it. People are coming in all the time so you don't miss out as much as you'd think.” (Jan 2004)
