Hostel The Flying Pig Uptown
Vossiusstraat 46, Oud Zuid, 1071 AJ Amsterdam, Netherlands – Great location - show map
I like the staff they were so friendly and the environment it's comfortable
JordanThe staff was so friendly and helpful! Very accommodating, and happy to answer any questions. The atmosphere was solid. Fun, casual, and easy. They have a bar that stays open until 3am at the facility, which is great (because alot of places close early in Amsterdam). They have lockers onsite that you can rent (for cheap) to store your baggage even after you've checked out, so you can explore the city hassle-free.
United States of AmericaHelpful and friendly staff. Great location. Fancy interior. Clean showers and toilets. Electric plugs for all beds. Lockers in the bedrooms.
FranceVery cool spot in a great location. Helpful and friendly staff giving a very relaxed and comfortable atmosphere. Will definitely recommend
LibyaThe staff was excellent and I loved the location.
KuwaitLocations 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.
United States of AmericaThey were brilliant with allergies, the food was lovely. Very clean facilities and the staff were polite and helpful.
IrelandI 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.
United States of AmericaNice 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.
GermanyI 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.
