I'd never stayed in a hostel before so I had no idea what to expect, I thought it might be dirty, a bit rough and unfriendly.

The Flying Pig Uptown has a few things going for it and a few things against it. The Good: It's next to the park and the Van Gogh museum in a nice part of town.

First impressions were bad as security seemed abit lax and there seemed to be a few oddballs wandering around(think they were just stoned though and were probably rather nice people).
