Fantastic location!! 10 minute walk from the train station, close to tourist attractions, also walk-able to the main square, close to canals, 15 minute walk to the red light district. Situated on a strip full of shops and restaurants. Rooms are basic and clean! We booked en suite which was alot easier! Drinks are reasonably priced. Not sure about food,... More

I liked this one, can’t say that I loved it. The location was great, can’t beat it really, I did feel it was on the pricy side, and depending on the experience you are looking for while in Amsterdam, this may or may not be the best place. The Flying Pig attracts a wide age rang but mostly college students.... More

The hostel is self is in a very good lactation and the staff were all very friendly. The rooms are very basic and are good for a stopping point when exploring the city and you want a cheap stay in a good location. The Bar is good and cheap and has a very good atmosphere. I would recommend a stay... More

Great central location only a few mins walk from Central train station and very close to all of the attractions downtown and some great restaurants. The bar downstairs is a great local hangout and met some fantastic people and... More

We stayed at the Flying Pig for Easter and we had such a great experience. Have no complaints whatsoever. Having previously experienced Amsterdam I can honestly say this hostel is up there and I would 100% recommend. The location is a stone throw from Central Station, drinks from bar are cheap, smoking area is comfortable and friendly, rooms are basic... More

I stayed at this hostel for one night last year. It really isn't that nice. The location of the hostel is really good, it's very central and close to most tourist attractions... but it's really dirty and the room I stayed in was really small. The bed wasn't that comfortable and the storage lockers for your luggage was really small.... More

Horribly smelly hostel with central location and lively clientele. I was backpacking with two other friends and we all disliked the hostel but appreciated its value and location. We didn't feel particularly safe there but it was cheep and fun More

Stayed in an 18 bed dorm room which was a combination of single and double bunk beds. Interestingly enough since we booked for 2 my friend and I ended up sharing a double bed, which was ok since we are both girls and not that tall, although there was no much space to turn over...however the bed beneath us was...
