My 3rd time staying at this hostel. Wonderful location and amazing staff. Also visited the other locations/bars they have and was pleasantly surprised. I travel alone and opted for an all female dorm this time and it was perfect. Thanks for another great stay!
Very convenient location. Can walk to many major tourist sites. Transportation available too such as the train and tram. There is a park just a 2 minute walk awa. A grocery store is close by too.
This was a wonderful location next to Vondel Park. There were loads of restaurants and great shopping opportunities. Everything was very walkable. The staff at the Flying Pig Uptown were incredibly nice and helpful.
I stayed in a female-only 6-bed room with a private bathroom. The room itself was nice. The sheets were clean and organized, but they don't have curtains. The beds have a locker underneath it that you can use, but make sure to bring you own lock. The private bathroom was small but fine. They also have shared bathrooms in the hallways, which are definitely small but manageable.
The check-in process was easy. There's a 1euro deposit for the keycard. They have a communal kitchen with small fridges and a bar area. I will say there's only one lounge area, but it's where the bar is so rather loud and dark.
Overall, a good stay. I would stay here again.

Great location, quiet and scenic. But the beds didn’t have curtains and wish there were more toilets!
Very relaxing atmosphere and knowledgeable staff. They were able to help me find some really cool sights during my visit. Just a heads up, there are a lot of steps.

Lovely location right next to Vondelpark. Breakfast was good and staff were friendly. Not enough bathrooms for the rooms, and not a good setup for the showers.
