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.

Cosy stay in the Cotswolds
Great central location
The kitchen has all you needed
The room was cosy and small
The bathroom was big in comparison to the room, it being a wet room
Parking at the brewery arts centre is perfect after 6 pm and free on Sundays
Would definitely stay again

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

No late check in. Had to sleep in our car.
We got stuck in traffic and missed the check in window by 20 minutes. There was no one around, the phone rang to an empty desk, and no way to check in late, which is unheard of in my experiences of hostels. My family of 4 was forced to sleep in our car outside until the following morning. They then checked us in with a pencil and clipboard. Very unprofessional. Terrible experience. I would have liked to have given it a better review, but no late check in policy is a huge miss.

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!
