- Noise
“This room is on the outside corner of Tree court closest to Rose Cresent. This means that on a friday and saturday night there is significant noise (even on this top floor). The trucks in the morning you get used to. Although I am currently asking for double glazing so hopefully this should no longer be a problem.” (Jan 2008)
“Generally quiet apart from the usual noise from Trinity Street in the evenings. Occasionally annoyed by buskers in the street below but you get used to it.” (Jan 2007)
“At the top of the tower so noise from trinity street (poat-gardies) is less bothersome than lower down, as is the noise of the big issue man, and though the outside world definately makes itself known throughout the day and night, none of it at all infuriating. Have never had problems shutting it out when I want to.” (Jan 2005)
“is a bit noisy in the morning, but have never really had much trouble with this.” (Jan 2004)
“quite noisy late at night when people leave clubs etc, noisy early in the morning when deliveries come, but you get used to it quickly!” (Jan 2003)
- Gyp Room
“Brand new this year, very clean. Reasonable size, 4 people share, great view into St. Mikes. On floor below” (Jan 2008)
“Small but only shared by two. The standard useless Caius issue microwave and fridge. Perfectly fine though as long as you don't mind living off microwave meals when hall isn't running.” (Jan 2007)
“tiny and cute, microwave, 1 out of 2 hobs in working order, grill, plenty of storage and dead handy next door with only 2 of us sharing the whole penthouse suit of the top floor (never see the fellow that also lives up here).” (Jan 2005)
“Decent gyp room for use with one other person, two hobs and a grill (never used) plus fridge and sink, next to room” (Jan 2004)
“VERY small, 2 sharing, close to room, not much storage, but has a grill as well as hobs” (Jan 2003)
- Bath Room
“One shower on floor below, shared between 4. Brand new this year so also clean.” (Jan 2008)
“Bathroom with two showers and a bath one floor down. Shared by the whole staircase but I've never had to wait for a shower in the mornings and there's always hot water.” (Jan 2007)
“toilet also up here complete with baisin and picture of Scotland. 2 wonderful showers and bath a floor down, and although these are shared by the entire staircase, I have never had to wait for a space.The short trip to and from the showers is surprisingly short and not unpleasant.” (Jan 2005)
“Showers on floor below, toilet next to room, all very decent and not much hassle to get to.” (Jan 2004)
“showers next floor down, often no hot water, but big, toilet on same floor” (Jan 2003)
- Furniture
“Lots. Bed, draws, two comfy chairs, two coffee tables, lots of shelves, two wardrobes, a large cupboard unit, uplighter, a fireplace, good soft carpet and a good desk.” (Jan 2008)
“Lots of furniture: two comfy chairs, one desk and desk chair, computer table, two coffee tables, sideboard. Fairly small cupboard for hanging clothes but lots of shelf and draw space.” (Jan 2007)
“So very much. Utterly spoilt. more starage space than even I can fill. 2 low coffee tables, 2 chairs, 1 bed, 1 huge desk and chair, 1 computer table, 1 long sideboard/cupboardy thing, 1 lovely old chest of drawers, 1 built in compartment with baisin, 2 mirrors, drawers and hanging space and shelves.” (Jan 2005)
“Furniture basic but have two little tables and two large-ish chairs” (Jan 2004)
“lg desk, LOADS of storage coffee table and chairs” (Jan 2003)
- Best Feature
“The size and location. It is at the top of S staircase so walking out every morning still feels a bit special. It is absolutely vast, bigger then having a bedroom and living room in old Mikes.” (Jan 2008)
“Being up in the tower and away from the noise of Trinity Street. Also a really big room and warm as long as you keep the radiators on full blast. Ooh and the uplighter is a nice feature.” (Jan 2007)
“My front door is the S staircase one abd tree court is my front garden, the staircase itself is stone and spiral with a stainglass window, my room is lovely and huge, feel really up in the castle tower whilst being well central, 1 entire wall is cream pin bourd so ample photo room, can see into Trinity Great court, the 70 steps up and down provide daily excercise...” (Jan 2005)
“Room is massive, really high ceiling and can positively have a good atmosphere in it. Have really enjoyed living here up till now and was very lucky it was left when I balloted.” (Jan 2004)
“spacious with lots of storage” (Jan 2003)
- Worst Feature
“The noise” (Jan 2008)
“Can be a bit dark but otherwise a really nice room.” (Jan 2007)
“er..I spose the windows could be bigger to let in more light and a view of tree court might be nice but can't really complain.” (Jan 2005)
“maybe noise, living next to my DoS can be embarassing but you're not going to miss your start of term interviews.” (Jan 2004)
“the noise, and the fact that the bedder never cleans anything!” (Jan 2003)
- General Comments
“No hanging space despite the two built in wardrobes. Newly refurbished (summer 2007) so good paint ect. plenty of sockets, good heaters. Room gets sunlight in the morning but not much... however there are two large windows so its never that dark. Bedder is nice too.” (Jan 2008)
“Not all that much sunlight but you get a lot of lights, bedder is fine, carpet is standard Caius issue brown, a slight lack of sockets for such a big room so bring multiplugs!” (Jan 2007)
“inconspicuous and efficient bedder who never makes it up here before 11, sunlight good in the mornings but not afternoon, decor drab and collegy but easily and quickly rectified by tenent with taste/imagination/fairy lights, loads of storage space, heating v. hot or off but nice balance to be found with fullheating + open windows” (Jan 2005)
“Is a fairly lit room when the sun shines in it, you can put extra lamps in it though. Bedder has been changed into less attractive version this term and cleaning has gone badly downhill. Love the high ceilings!! Loads of wardrobe space as well but have used all of it. Have never been that cold since first week when I found out I left the windows open.” (Jan 2004)
“dingy in late afternoon but bright in mornings, need to be fit to climb all those stairs!” (Jan 2003)
