There are a lot of really good things about this hostel. The staff are friendly and helpful (GET THE VAN GOGH MUSEUM PASS!), the place is locked down and secure for guests, and is centrally located. On the flip side, you have to sleep in downtown Amsterdam, which you really shouldn't be doing if you're planning on sleeping. This is... More

The double bunk option is great. As a couple we wanted to stay together but stay in a cheap dorm. Love the free beer if you've been before (I had). Smoking room with pillow stage awesome. Great simple breakfast. Very safe an secure. Great location. Our dorm also had access to small courtyard area underneath the balcony of the smoking... More

Nice hostel, Friendly workers, easy to walk there from the central station, fun bar and clean. A lot of stairs but thats pretty much the same in all the places in Amsterdam The smoking area is also nice, so you dont have to go to the street to smoke

This was one of my favorite hostels i've ever stayed in. The staff is incredibly nice and helpful, the locations could not be better, and the atmosphere is great. I felt safe and secure staying here. The beds were comfy and clean, they have a lot of double beds which I had never seen in a hostel. This hostel may... More

Nice hostel with relaxed staff. Lots of college kids traveling and enjoying their holiday. Highly recommended for the younger crowd backpacking on a budget. Older folks should stay elsewhere. We stayed in a 4 person room with bunkbeds and shower. Everything was relatively clean and functional. No complaints. I would stay there again.

I was amazed at the value for the price in the flying pig downtown. Checking in was easy. they give you a magnetic card that opens the front entrance, that lets you inside the reception and opens the door to your room. Rooms are not crammed, there's space to move actually, make sure to have your own pad-lock to store... More

I stayed at Flying Pig for 4 nights. It took over an hour to check in, then issues with check in, due to changes in our booking weeks prior to arriving, so it was all messed up. After the 2nd night during my stay I had to move to another room/bed due to the booking being all messed up. However... More

This hostel has a lot to offer, a great big kitchen and sitting area for dining or drinking at the night also having a bar upstairs. The smoking room is cleaned twice a day and feels very warm and welcome!! The rooms are quite spacey with enough room to fit a big backpack under the beds or even in a... More
