What guests think

At Flying Pig Uptown, travellers praise the walkable location near Vondelpark and museums, the friendly, social vibe with a bar and smoking room, and generally comfortable dorms, while noting steep stairs with no elevator and budget-level simplicity.

Staff are widely described as welcoming and helpful, though a few guests reported poor attitudes or a privacy issue. Cleanliness feedback is mixed: many found rooms and showers clean, but several cited smelly or messy shared bathrooms and occasional maintenance gripes. Other notes include a simple kitchen, activities, lockers, and 24/7 reception, while Wi-Fi can be slow and some rooms feel warm without AC. Best suited to backpackers and social solo travellers comfortable with typical hostel trade-offs.

a perfect place for a solo traveller. Keep in mind that the building doesnt have lift... so you have to drag your bags threw a small stairs... the reception people were supper friendly. they help you with any kind of information or problem. Best part was the bar and the smoking room, people mostly spend their time in those places... its a great place to meet new people. I was there till 2-3 in the morning everyday. they have activities everyday from 8-9pm with happy hour drinking... very close to the city centre. the bed was comfortable and i was in a 14 bed dorm. Other guests were friendly and didnt make noise when others were sleeping. Toilets and shower room was very clean and if you find them dirty just tell them, they clean it asap. overall a very good place to stay if you are travelling solo or with friends.. supper friendly environment...

Got a good deal on the Pig. It was in a decent location and I was able to get around the city with ease. It was a little grubby, tho. Simply painting the walls would be a big improvement for the place. No elevator and lots of steps. Gotta go downstairs to then go upstairs to get outside. Again, if you can get it for a cheap price and don't have too high of standards, then you'll be fine.

It was a great experience for the price, I showed up at 00:30 and was a bit worried about not being able to get in, but their reception is 24/7 (this was my first Hostel experience) it’s only about a 40 minute walk from Amsterdam Centraal so if you’re on a budget and need to get your steps in it was great, the all you can eat breakfast for (6CAD) was great fills you up for a great morning. The showers are a bit tough not a lot of room or separation for clothes and you, but overall ok. Towels can be provided but are not always available so be careful with that. The staff were super friendly and even lent me a lock just asked me to return it afterwards so that’s super awesome of them, the storage for single peeps is under the bed and can be locked, if you can’t pull/push the basket far enough life the part of the frame the mattress was on, that tripped me up and is probably not normal but again the staff came up to show me how to lock it and was baffled a bit but ended up helping figure it out! My total for 2 nights with breakfast was about 68$CAD after city tax. Overall a great experience! Don’t be afraid to ask the staff questions!

O hostel é incrível! Super limpo, bem estruturado e organizado. Fiquei 6 dias super confortável! O banheiro limpo e grande, chuveiro quentinho. A area de happy hour e fumantes é muito legal também. O único detalhe é que há bastante escada, mas isso é comum na cidade de amsterdam.

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.

A limpeza dos banheiros pode melhorar. Havia um cheiro de esgoto que saía do ralo. Encontramos uma aranha na área do banho e uma funcionaria pisou com os pés em um item de cama que estava limpo (lençol). Alguns funcionários foram atenciosos, em especial Pipa. Super solicita e simpatica. Bom lugar para conhecer novas pessoas e boa localização.

優點： - 青旅員工們都很親切，還有 24 小時的櫃檯，真的隨時有問題都會協助處理。 - 共用的浴室很大，而且感覺蠻新的，有幾間還有乾濕分離 - 離很多博物館都非常近，如果有安排一整天都是博物館行程還可以回青旅吃個飯，很方便！缺點： - 我們衝著房間能夠俯瞰城市景色的優點而訂了較高樓層的房間，但沒想到窗戶的景色其實都被其他上下鋪給遮擋住了，而且景色就是公園的樹牆 (?)，就是都是高大的樹，所以我們就每天爬樓梯也沒看到什麼美景。 - 蚊子超級無敵多！我們很難睡一個好覺，其實同房的所有人都是，每個人每天晚上都被瘋狂叮咬。 - 房間雖然開了窗戶也還是很悶，有提供小電扇但是根本沒有位置可以插電，因為插座都是一床一個，意思就是插了電扇就沒辦法充手機電。 - 房間洗手台上方的鏡子有夠高，我和我朋友顛腳都只能看到眉毛，但我們都有 160 cm 左右... - 公共的廁所空間非常無敵小，非常貼近門，有夠不舒服。 - 每個床位上的小燈其實很容易壞，我們那床的在我們入住的時候就壞了，後來我們使用下面那床的燈，開一下也就不亮了

It was fine. As far as hostels go, I would go here again. The only downside is that the common area is usually noisy and full of people drinking. So if you’re looking for a hostel that is quieter for you to read or work, this probably isn’t a great option.

I stayed in the female dorm which had its own bathroom, so was very safe and secure. The bunk bed was comfortable and had a lockable drawer for keeping valuables, (was a little squeaky for leaving early in the mornings though). There are a few stairs to get in and up to rooms, so good if you are carrying light luggage or if you dont mind there are no lifts.

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.
