It was a very nice place. I will confidently stay there when I come to Amsterdam again in the future. There are two minor issues: There is no elevator and the internet speed is not that good. However, It was a great experience overall.

Flying Pig Uptown is one of the best hostels I’ve stayed at. The staff were kind and helpful. The bar area was fun at night and a great place to meet people. And the surrounding area is very walkable with lots to do. Also really liked the shower set up, which is often hit or miss with hostels, but on my floor at least there were plenty and they were like private little shower rooms. Would definitely stay here again.

Loved it! Women's only room for those new to hostels or not comfortable with co-ed rooms. Have continental breakfast and activities, as well as a galley kitchen for minor cooking and storage for left-overs. Right next to Vondel Park with Van Gogh Museum and Hard Rock Cafe nearby.

Stayed here for one week. Traveling solo. I stayed in a shared room of 8. Showers are wonderful and clean. Toilets are clean but small - I think that's the norm. Room was clean and beds comfortable. Walking distance to just about everything in town. Great restaurants and I met some cool people also. Loved that once the coffee shops closed I could smoke at the hostel in my PJ's! Book it It's a great value and wonderful location.

I've been curious about hostels forever. I'm about 3 times the age of anyone else staying there, but it was okay. The bed was comfortable, which surprised me. People were also respectful of each other and their property. The staff was very helpful indeed. I never got the Wi-Fi hooked up, but I didn't want to do all the stairs again once I got to the room. I left my Kindle in the room. When I realized it, I called, and they held it for me. When I got back I told them they were my heroes.

Despite my horrible experience with the staff here, the property itself was great. The rooms and bathrooms were clean. Perfect location across from the park. Now staff? The women here were terrible, they had the worst attitudes, very young minded. One of the house keepers went through my CLOSED belongings because she suspected I had food in my bag. When I confronted the front desk it was as though they were justifying her actions of violating my privacy. No one would own up to the fact that this was wrong no matter the reasoning behind it, staff should not be searching through my personal belongings especially if it is CLOSED. I checked out that same day because I felt the managers were only protecting their own & my privacy didn’t matter. This is why I feel that with the entire staff being young, they were making up their own rules and doing things as they pleased. I didn’t feel like they had a higher up to keep them in line, I would never stay here again. They did fortunately refund me for the nights I hadn’t stayed because of course I checked out that day.
