ザ バレルストア - ホステル(The Barrel Store Cirencester)

Fantastic location , right in the centre of Cirencester , perfect for exploring the Cotswolds, friendly staff, facilities were basic but adequate, would I stay here again, Yes, Lots of individual shops, very quirky , very middle England 👍

Very nice place to stay when you want to spend some time in Cotswolds. Great location of the hostel - right in the town centre. Kitchen has all necessary stuff. Neat, clean and minimalist, my room was small but that's all I needed. I felt safe and welcome.

Very good value for money clean. excellent location. convenient kitchen to have breakfast or dinner if you don want to go out plenty of restaurants around minimarket 2 blocks away silence calm and nice sheets coach to Heathrow very near bad thing...no elevator for luggage, better take a small one or a bag pack

Lovely position in the town (although feeding the parking at 8am is a little harsh) . Full kitchen (hob/oven/microwave - pans etc. but think only one baking tray.) Waitrose is only a short walk and some nice pubs nearby

We stayed overnight as a family of 4 at the Barrel Store. We would not generally book into a hostel, but prices for overnight stays at other local hotels were incredibly high so we decided to go for it. We booked a room for 4 people (2 bunk beds) with a private bathroom. Communication was excellent throughout the booking process, including accommodating an early check-in. We knew of course that this was a hostel and that it was likely to be basic, but we were very impressed with the facilities. The accommodation was immaculately clean, the beds were comfortable and the location was central. We really could not have asked for more at such a fantastic price.

Enjoyed my 3-night stay very much. Romesh was on reception when I arrived and was incredibly friendly and helpful, taking trouble to search for info for about various things, like parking, cafes etc. It's great to receive a welcome like that when you go somewhere for the first time. Also appreciated the spacious common room/kitchen

Welcoming place with good facilities in a great central location. Very helpful person on reception. The hostel is well looked after with everything very clean and tidy. Small room but perfectly adequate just to sleep in and there is a well equipped communal kitchen and sitting/dining area. Excellent value for money

YHA are not helping themselves by putting their name to this hostel. I was expecting a friendly YHA experience. Unfortunately this was missing, although new and well-equipped the hostel had a very bland a**osphere. One receptionist was uninformed of the Cirencester area and said 'I am too tired to explain' when I asked directions to somewhere. Another receptionist rudely shouted at me to shut the front door before I had a chance to turn around and do so. Our communal bathroom was not cleaned for four days.

We loved the modern crafts style of the Barrel Store. Finding it in the dark was tricky so best to get local directions. The location was perfect for access to shops, cafes, pubs and evening dining. The staff were very welcoming and helpful too!
