The best hostel I have stayed at thus far. The staff is amazing,
the location cant be beat, showers are excellent, and the laid back atmosphere
has yet to be better. Flying Pig is MY FAVORITE HOSTEL. Go here, because you
will not regret it!

By far the best place I have stayed on this Europe trip (4 weeks).
Clean facilities, friendly and helpful people, great bar with dj it was a cool
place to hang and meet fellow travelers, not to mention some of the best drink
prices in A-dam...and the hostel takes credit cards!

Excellent place for partying and just having a total blast in
Amsterdam. You will meet so many cool people, and the price is not bad.
Definitely in the top 5 of all the hostels I stayed in while in Europe for 2
months.

Review:
We arrived and our two bedroom (dorm room) wasn't clean. there was
hair in the drain...... The shower was black from all the mold, it was gross.
We had problems getting clean sheets and towels that were not hard as a rock.
So I slept with my clothes on at all times. The mattresses had all kinds of
stains on them.
There was always a party going on in the main lobby of the hostel. the staff
was not very happy to be working there. The staff kept to themselves and were
not very friendly at all. It seemed like when we would ask them a question,
they told us to go look it up on the internet, instead of answering the
questions.
Don't even try to get service with a smile at the bar, the bartenders expect
you to tip them but then you do and still can't get service.
We were on the top level so noise wasn't a problem, it was pretty quiet. But
the elevator was alway broken so we had to take 3 flights of steps everyday.
(which was a pain).
You also had to show your card before they would let you enter, which was a
good thing, but sometimes you would stand there forever before someone would
let you in. there would be a line of several people waiting to get to their
room.
This place is great if you are there to party and don't care where you sleep.
If you plan on passing out every night, then I would stay there. It was pretty
cheap too. the other people in the hostel (who we met that were traveling were
very nice). The plus was they have free internet use, but only three computers
for everyone so sometimes there was a small line to use them.
Don't try to use the phone there it was always broken and no one could figure
out how to use it. The staff def. was not willing to help out in that area.

A
fun, BUSY hostel. We had a good time here but there were
tons of people and it wasn't very personal. Bathrooms
and showers are typical of hostels. Amsterdam is what
makes this place exceptional--by the way, the Flying Pig
Beach Hostel in Noordwijk is amazing and a total blast!

Review:
Good sized kitchen. Nice laid back atmosphere. Free
internet was good. Security was tight. However, no place
for non-smokers to hangout. Must ask the reception for
sheets and towels (free of charge) or else you don't get
them. |
