I've never been treated as rudely as I was by a staff member at any other hostel than I was at the Flying Pig Downtown. (However, some staff members were nice). The door to my room didn't lock, and it was dirtier than any other hostel I've visited. The atmosphere in the main areas of the hostel were really unique and I liked them a lot, but it was difficult having the reception desk attached to the bar. Overall, the hostel experience made my Amsterdam experience worse than it could have been.

We went to this hostel due to the high punctuation but it wasn’t definitely a good option.We went to visit the city and during the night we just wanted to sleep,someth ing impossible there,since you have music at the bar so loud, that it seemed that you were sleeping there. You can also hear the people talking at the bar all night long.So if you to have a good night is the best,if you to visit avoid it! Each floor only had one toilet and one shower,and there were a lot of rooms!

Not the best place to stay if you're a mature adult. Stayed here due to the good reviews it got, but regretted it when all of the "kids" staying in my room came home late and puked and hacked into the night. Pretty bad when a 31 year old woman can handle the "lifestyle" of Amsterdam..regardless, fun if you're young, not if you're "older." Was one of the cleanest hostels I've stayed in though..

This is a great time. If you're looking for a big party in the heart of amsterdam. Go here. The bar stays open late for when you have no where left to explore in the city. The staff are friendly and professional. Beware. If this is your first hostel, don't go to any other ones. This place is great! After we left to bruge we discovered that not all hostels are so amazing.
