The Flying Pig Downtown Youth Hostel

Super Hostel, schnelles check-in, freundliche Leute, einfach neue Freunde zu finden, coole Umgebung, sauberes Hostel und zufriedenes Frühstück. Würde definitiv wieder in diesem Hostel übernachten und kann es nur weiterempfehlen.

This place has more rats than staff

Facilities were rad! Loved the whole vibe. Highly recommend and would def stay here again. Kitchen, smoke room, bar and pool table. Chill music, comfortable beds with great comforter. Loved it!

Great Service! Great Location!

My experience here was not bad. The check in/out was easy and the staff were all friendly. The hostel is convenient for wandering around Amsterdam central and is close to tons of shops and the central station also. The only negative part of the stay was that my roommates (tho friendly and one was cute) were soooo freaking loud when they were getting ready to sleep. I'm not really sure why or wth they were doing as I was hiding under the covers and trying to pass out. But even with herbal assistance, it was hard to fall asleep with their commotion. This might be normal when you're staying at a hostel I guess but def was on the upper end this time for noisey roomies. I was able to return the favor tho bc I had to get up at 445 am to catch my flight so yaaah.

nice and friendly staff very helpful and fantastic area .

Hostel is in a great location and the check in process was convenient! We rented a private room that was clean and had towels. There is no AC and it can get pretty humid in summer despite the fan. Don’t miss out on the 2 for 1 drinks offers at the bar everyday!!

Location: so close to the train station, shopping, and restaurants. Basically everything was within walking distance. Community: The hostel was strict about only allowing hostel guests in the building, which was great since in essence, protects your belongings (which you would lock up). There was a bar, smoking area, tv area, and pool table for guests choosing to stay in a mingle with other travelers. Staff: Were great! Very helpful with recommendations and even invited us to a drinking game within minutes of arrival. Rooms: Shared showers but everyone was respectful about picking up after themselves. Rooms got pretty warm with humidity (not pleasant), fans were in the room but it didn’t help the ones on top bunks (as heat rises to the ceiling). Amenities: hostel provided free breakfast, towels for a deposit upon return, and sold locks, adapters, pipes, and chargers in case you forgot yours!

Nice location, great people

Travelling solo and my first trip to Amsterdam so the accommodation was chosen with this in mind and all round I had a great experience. Great service from the staff, clean and comfortable room & communal areas, perfect location and the chance to meet new people from all over the world in the smoking room & bar. So much fun I’m already planning my next trip and I won’t hesitate to book here again.
