This was my first stay in a hostel; I think I may be spoiled. Cirencester itself is a nice place although we only really saw it at night. The hostel is neat, modern and clean. Parking is free from 6pm to 8am.

Comfortable and welcoming hostel in great location

Excellent location. Friendly and welcoming staff. Good shared kitchen area with a friendly atmosphere. Rooms and bathrooms are fairly tight but that is expected. All in good condition and clean. We enjoyed our stay here and our visit to the surrounding Cotswolds area.

Accommodation was simple, but clean and had everything you needed. Great central location and the staff were really friendly and accommodating when we needed a later check out for a wedding. Was nice to not have to worry about getting dressed up and then wondering around Cirencester for hours before the wedding started.

A good choice

It's a posh YHA at post YHA prices...but still a really good choice for families in a touristy part of the world. Our bunks were ready made and comfortable. Clean, modern design with well equipped kitchen. Easy parking and supermarkets close by. Would stay again.

Basic but ok if you want a cheap get away

Very basic accommodation but not too bad. We were disappointed with the cleanliness of the bathroom, there was lots of hair from other guests left over on the floor and walls. Beds were comfortable and the linen was fresh.

We had a great stay at the YHA Cotswolds (The Barrel Store) and would highly recommend the accommodation! It is perfectly located in Cirencester's old town - supermarket, shops and cafes are just a few yards walk away. The room and the shared kitchen were very clean, the employees were very nice and always available for questions. The communal kitchen is perfectly equipped and offers enough space to cater for yourself. Cirencester is a wonderful small town and a perfect base for exploring the Cotswolds - thanks to numerous bus services to nearby villages and towns, the area is wonderful to explore without a car. We were completely satisfied with the YHA Cotswolds (The Barrel Store) and would not hesitate to come back!

Voilently expensive parking. I estimated the owner (Council? ) would make 3/4 million Pounds from this car park. A real killer. Room extremely simple but adequate. No TV.
