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.
