Property Description
As the original Flying Pig hostel, we can’t wait to welcome you again! We are located perfectly central in between the museum- and fashion district, the park and Leidseplein where the best concert-halls, clubs, bars and coffee shops are and most locals go out. You’ll get that real Amsterdam feel and are still close enough to the red light district, which is only a 15-minute walk
This spring and summer you can enjoy Amsterdam’s famous green grass in the beautiful Vondelpark, right outside the Flying Pig Uptown, for drinks, smokes and picnics. Check out the free musical and cultural performances on the park stage or play games with your (new) friends on your bare feet.
The Pig has been world famous for its laidback atmosphere, a hostel bar that everyone keeps talking about and friendly helpful staff. We have a guest kitchen and bar with indoor smoking area, where you will meet lots of people. Free breakfast, linen and internet; one price covers all!
If you are in for some culture, the van Gogh museum and the Rijksmuseum (with the ‘Nachtwacht’) are just around the corner, same as the beautiful Concert Building and the ‘I Amsterdam’ letters. Do you want to explore the Red Light District, some historic sites or Chinatown? Just take a stroll, everything is within walking distance. Public transport is close by too.
But there’s always more: go shopping at one of the local markets (such as the Albert Cuijp in the Pijp area) or the ‘9 little streets’, drink a beer at the Amsterdam Heineken Museum or have a wild night out in the so-called pop temple the Paradiso, within crawling-home distance . You can borrow some free hostel skates and share a ‘smoke’, drink and a blanket with your (new made) friends on the green grass of the famous Vondelpark. Laugh your head off at one of the comedy clubs on the Leidseplein or visit other local areas of the city.

navarroagatha7925 from USA stayed here on 07th March 2010 the street the hostel is on turns into a very sketchy area at night. Going back at night, my friend and I ran to the hostel to avoid the shady men in the street.Always older men standing outside hostel and after my friend went in they held the door open and came inside. We ran to our rooms as well.. Shouldve just spent the whole 3 days in the hostel as there is always room in the smoking area and something on the tv. NOT safe location for 2 girls especially. Get something closer to.. | Female

domeara1234327703 from Netherlands stayed here on 03rd March 2010 Avoid this hostel like the plague. WAY far from central station/red light/ city center. This hostel would be cool if you\'re a high schooler who wears rasta beanies and bob marley shirts. I mean ofcourse im down doing all the usual amsterdam legalities; however, this hostel was just incredible cliche. The smoking room was just so lame and awkward. The staff was nice. The kitchen and common room were ridiculously crowded and filled with obnoxious people ready to \"toke\". It was just so predictable | Male

kblank89 from USA stayed here on 28th February 2010 Great hostel to stay at. The bar and smoking room downstairs are a bit small, but they're adequete. It's a long walk to the redlight, but there is a lot to do in the area. Better experience this time than the last time I stayed at the Pig UT. Great place to stay. | Male
