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.

4/10 Fair

Room was cramped, stuffy with noisy from generator outside window. Like a prison cell. Kitchen facility great. Location really good.
Verified review

8/10 Very good

My only comment would be around the shower. Whilst the shower was excellent the water comes out into the bathroom because the drain needs to raised to form a lip.

The Barrel Store Hostel

We stay with our friends from Australia and find the room to be slightly small. The toilet is clean but the bath is small. Sharing the kitchen is fine but the utensils are slightly old and some are rusty. Having said that, the staff are friendly. There was no laundry although it stated that there are laundry facility on site when we booked.
Verified review

10/10 Exceptional

Very Basic, a table would have been ideal. Clean. No lift. it was a very quick nightout but only needed a clean bed and shower and I was very happy with the conditions. Overall good night sleep. The only minus is it take a while to find the location as Google maps does not display it correctly. I think they should put proper instructions in their confirmation email. Instead they only focused about Parking. Actually between 6pm -8am there is free parking at Old Station Car Park.
