Taha

The staff was excellent and I loved the location.

Sevans

Kuwait

Locations was great. The park is beautiful and gives space to explore. Close enough to just about anything you could need in the city. Staff was very friendly, and the bar was great and very reasonably priced.

William

United States of America

They were brilliant with allergies, the food was lovely. Very clean facilities and the staff were polite and helpful.

Carol

Ireland

I loved the hostel itself- the amenities, smoke rooms, bar, the workers. Hostel is easy to find but quite a walk from Centraal station, so plan accordingly. They have lockers to utilize before / after checking in or out for your stuff for 2 euro.

Vivien

United States of America

Nice hostel in good location with excellent staff! Some activities planned every now and then. I liked that despite it having a bar, it was quiet in the room (on the 4th floor at least), and it didn't feel overwhelming, the atmosphere was very pleasant.

Linda

Germany

I liked lots of shower rooms and toilets at the floor. So there're no queues and it makes me happy. Also hair dryers are available in the hall. You can rent a towel at 3 euro deposit. Buffet table is served every morning for 6 euro: juice, toasted bread, nutella and cheese spreads, fruits and veggies. Coffee and tea on top.

I would say the service provided by the receptionist was very helpful.

I would liked more food options but overall I think that the staff are fantastic and they will try and assist you if they possibly can. I travelled with my wife and we stayed in a double bunk ( for couples ). We really liked it for the price - as we booked direct we got free breakfast every morning. The smoking room is FANTASTIC and we met up like like minded individuals from literally all over the world. From England, Ireland, Scotland, Wales, Germany, France, Holland, Soain, Portugal, India, Japan, Mexico, Lebanon, South Africa, Makta, Argentina, Brazil, US ( Alaska ), Canada, Sweden, Australia, New Zealand, - stoners of the world unite !! Great place to stay if you want to be close to the centre. Great hostel 9/10....

“Overall Good Experience!”

Although the bathroom and showers were always clean, they should have more bathrooms and showers considering how many people share rooms and the quantity of people staying there.
The Flying Pig Uptown was an overall great stay! Close enough to Central Amsterdam and the Red Light District. About a 20-30 minute walk to basically anywhere in Amsterdam which was convenient because we didn't have to spend money on a taxi. Showers and bathrooms were clean and the people staying in the Hostel were very friendly. I stayed in a 14 person dormitory and never ONCE felt unsafe. Beds were SO comfortable as well.

There is no outside smoking area so the smoking room is always choked with cigarette smoke. Music is literally blasted all day and all night same as all the coffee shops and bars, you are continually listening to someone's play list too loud to ignore and too quiet to dance to. Also just like the coffee shops the lights are lowered to give the impression of a dark dingy stuffy smokey environment where you can barely understand anyone because of language barriers, the noise of the crowd and continuous music, and it's easy to loose things becuase of how dark it is. Playing pool was poor without the lights on the britest setting. Finally one of the staff was very rude to me at the reception. A girl with no hair and manners. This place cou ld be so much better!!!
The smoking room, and how you can easily bring friends in who haven't booked a room.
