Our in room shower was not the best. We used the one out of the room which worked awesome. Other than that everything was great.

El hostel está muy bien en general, buena atención e instalaciones. Los baños son muy pequeños y pocos en relación a la cantidad de gente que se hospeda. Todo lo demás está bien, la cocina bien equipada.

Such an amazing hostel would definitely recommend if you’re staying to sightsee Amsterdam. Only 7 mins from central station and everything is in walking distance. Nice bar downstairs with games and a smoking room 🍃 Located down one of the main shopping streets aswell. Beds are comfy but could be a bit more sturdier

Great bar, great activities, bathroom was great, shower was good, staff were lovely, amazing location!!! Only issue was how loud it was at night on the street until 4 am every night even during the week. ear plugs are free there which was an added bonus. Beds were clean and comfy, warm blankets and fluffy pillows!’

This was my first time staying at a hostel and it exceeded my expectations. I stayed in a 6 bed female dorm and it was clean and the room I was in was quiet at night. The location was great, you could walk to everything and you are close to Centraal station. Would definitely stay here again.

A comfortable place for one night and well situated for Amsterdam central and the main train station. Large dormitories have their pros & cons but most people were reasonably behaved. Cleanliness passable but not sure if I’d want to prepare, cook & eat a meal here but with som many food outlets on the doorstep this should not be an issue. Fire alarms when off a few times, thankfully there was no emergency. Door security seemed to be good and the hostel was easy to find. Cheap and cheerful...

Amazing hostel, especially for solo travelers. Friendly & helpful staff, comfy beds, great common area. You always find something to do - whether you prefer to chill or to party. Very social atmosphere, met lots of amazing people during my stay. Highly recommended!

This location is unbeatable however the price is pretty steep for a hostel. I had great roommates, but thought it was a little weird that in the 10 person mixed dorm there was 1 set of bunk beds pushed together. During my stay there was a couple on the top and 2 girls travelling together on the bottom but not sure how strict that policy is and if you could be sharing a bed with a stranger or not?

Not happy about no hot water for the showers, and that people were smoking inside.

The Tuesday and Wednesday I was there there was very little going on at the bar which was a little disappointing I think It was much busier in the days before so I probably just got unlucky. Loved the atmosphere and the smoking room was great for safety as a solo woman! The kitchen is super nice but closed before noon. If there were curtains on the bed I’d have felt a bit more comfortable but overall really good!

Overall a convenient hostel and I did find it pretty social. Spaces were cleaned often and it was nice to be so close to the station and things to do. However, I wouldn’t recommend staying in a mixed dorm if you’re not comfy being in a room of all males. For most of my stay I was the only female to which staff suggested I should have booked an all female room. Fair, but mixed normally suggests a MIX of men and women… I was uncomfortable. Also no curtains on the beds made this weirder fo...

I've stayed at the Flying Pig 6 times and it is my go to hostel! This time, I brought a friend along and he agreed that it was amazing and a great vibe. He enjoyed meeting different people from around the world and the pool table. His main gripe were the lockers under the beds that make a lot of noise any time someone opens them, which can be very disruptive to sleep. It would be a great guest improvement to replace the old lockers with quieter, vertical lockers. Then we would stay again!

Everyone was so lovely and considering it was my first time in a hostel, they were super accommodating and was so lovely when ever I needed something. There was always something to do and after you got back after a long day of going around Amsterdam or going to the surrounding areas then you could play some pool or get a drink or a coffee at the bar or sit and have a smoke or just go outside and have a cigarette or vape, whatever you wanted to do plus everyone that stayed there was great ☺️

This was the first ever hostel I stayed in as a solo female traveller and I couldn’t recommend it highly enough!! Security measures were so good and I made great friends I’ll keep in touch with. The bar has two happy hours and activities on that make it a great place to stay on your own. Also a very central location, I walked to everything I wanted to do and it’s only a few streets away from the central station. I would definitely come back here if I was in Amsterdam again!!
