2016H4 is a lovely room, very big and comfortable - having two rooms is amazing. It can be quite loud from the road but no worse than living on any busy road. It's reasonably good value though being such a nice room it means you have to move your stuff out in the holidays more strictly than in other rooms.

For some reason the internet is pretty terrible, and having hobs on all floors except this one is quite weird, but neither of these are huge problems.
2014H4 is a great room - like most rooms in Hostel there is a separate living room and bedroom. It's really big, with good furniture/storage and a sink and two mirrors! It's also fairly light, despite being on the back of the building, it never feels dingy, and the new double-glazing keeps a lot of the heat in. Only negatives are it's a bit loud with the buses going past in the night, and the bedroom gets a bit cold because the only radiator is in the living room. There's a kitchen on the same floor with no hobs, but there are hobs upstairs and downstairs so it's not a problem at all. Basically, it's great, I wouldn't say the problems I mentioned were substantial and it's a really sociable place to live with 4 rooms looking onto a hallway and kitchen.
2010Good: decent size (bedroom + living room), reasonably decorated and furnished (by college standards), hostel showers are reliably warm and queue-free, gyp room has a combi-oven (a rare luxury in third year accommodation) though have to go upstairs for a hob at present.

Bad: faces the road so can get noisy when windows are open, only one radiator which is in the living room, so bedroom can get cold, only one toilet on the staircase (there are plenty in the basement but they're not all that nice)

Definitely good value as a grade 5
