The hostels facilities are not the greatest, the kitchen is almost too small to use and the showers and toilets are not great. However the bar has quite good prices and a good atmosphere. The hostel was fun and great for meeting people but overall not worth the price More

Usually party Hostels are noise and dirty. That's a basic rule I learned after travelling for years. Flying Pig Uptown does not follow this rule. It was relatively clean, and I was able to sleep properly even though it had "party" running all the time. I had my first night in a 8 bad dorm and my second in a... More

After I had read all the positive reviews on hostelworld website, I decided to book this hostel for one night. The hostel was quite disappointing, the bar and the smoking area were quite nice though; however the overall cleanliness of the hostel was quite poor, the shower in the room where I and my partner stayed in was very stinky...

I would like to start by saying that the reviews which provide horrible details of this hostel were misleading and freaked me out prior to travel. To those who read such reviews, I hope I can provide a comprehensive explanation of what the hostel is like. I am a higher class backpacker and a hygiene freak, so I do have... More

This hostel had the coolest vibe of any hostel I´ve ever been to! I think the only thing I didn´t like about it were the stairs one had to climb to get to ones room. But other then that, it was awesome! The Bar downstairs made it really easy to meet people, which for a person traveling solo is very... More

For value for money, you can't really beat this place - Especially since my friend had a discount card that he got from a sister hostel in Belgium. Its website gives a pretty accurate depiction of the hostel, a vibrant, atmospheric place where you have come to experience the city and have fun. Definitely a place for backpackers or students...

read great reviews about this place and decided to stay here. The rooms were pretty packed and they have queen size bunk beds, which is weird coz 2 people have to share a bed.... The stairs were super narrow and only person could use them at a time. After one night, they made us shift to another room for some... More

Went to Amsterdam and decided to take flying pig uptown due to its great location and great price. But dont be fooled by the prices and good reviews as the condition expected were so far off, i could only describe it as hell holes. Firstly is the kitchen of this hostel which is too small to accommodate hundreds of people... More

I went with a group of 9. We booked at least 3 months in advance, and all in the same room. When we arrived it took about 30 mins to even be seen by someone at reception. Then we were told we would not be in the same room and would have to split up into 3 groups. The staff... More

I had a terrible experience with this hostel and will never recommend to anyone. My reservation was made more that 45 days before the trip and by the time I arrive at the hostel around 10PM I'm informed that my reservation was cancelled by mistake and they'd have no room for me at that night. They could just offer me... More
