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.

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.

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.

コッツウオルド観光するには最適な場所であったが、ホテル専用のカーパークがなく公共カーパークに止めざるを得なかった。ただしそのカーパークは近かったので不便はあまり感じなかった。ホテル受付の方が大変親切で助かった。また良いアドバイスも頂いた。

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.

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.

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.

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.
