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

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 is the best place to stay if you are... More
