About
Flying Pig Uptown backpackers hostel is located right next to the famous Vondelpark and just an 8-minute walk from the bustling Leidseplein area. The hostel features a 24-hour reception desk and a bar strictly for guests only. You can enjoy a drink or hot snacks in the hostel’s bar, which also has a smoking room. Because of this, the hostel is strictly only for those 18 years or older. Fuel up for your Amsterdam adventures with our continental breakfast available each morning, prebooked for just €7. Flying Pig Uptown is a converted town house on the beautiful street of Vossiustraat. There are 24 rooms spread over 6 floors. Due to the structure of the building, there is no elevator. Most of the dormitory rooms come with bunk beds and shared shower and toilet facilities in the common areas. Some rooms have private bathroom facilities. Museumplein is a 5-minute walk from Flying Pig Uptown. From the nearby tram and bus stops there are direct links between the Canal Belt, Rembrandtplein, Dam Square, Amsterdam Central Station and Amsterdam Schipol Airport.

- The People! The staff and visitors I met were all excellent!!! I could not recommend a more fun and engaging place to stay. I will be back next year ??
- Everything it was amazing
- The staff and the people here are amazing! A very sociable place. They also have everything you need like towels, locker rooms. The best thing about the rooms was that there were cages under the beds that you can use as a locker. You need to bring your own lock or buy it from the reception to lock the cage though. The location is very close to the Van Gogh Museum and it's easy to get around everywhere by walking, and other transportation services. I'm definitely coming back here if I come to Amsterdam again!
Cons -
- The ventilation system was not working properly when I came to my room, but they've fixed it in a day. The room and the bathrooms were a bit dirty, but it was overall ok.

the smoking room , excellent locations and very good prices!
we were very unlucky to have a hardcore snorer in our room...
Location was really good, right across from vondelpark and only a few minutes walk from a great area (Leidseplein).
The lockup cage for luggage/belongings in the shared rooms is not big enough and very inconvenient to use whenever I wanted to get something out. Toilets were gross and tiny, hot water in the showers went out for a while.
A good place to stay overnight, good staff, good location, near shops and city centre. Our room was clean, bathrooms were clean too!
Nice and polite staff, nice beds, mid wifi connection.
Well it isn’t a problem, just know that u may be on the fourth floor and u need to do a little exercise to got up at the top floor)
Very close to all the night clubs walking distance
Red light district two far away
Location is perfect, rooms are great and the bar downstairs looked very nice. Close to the park and groceries. One of the better places to stay.
Is not good
The building is old, but unfortunately it's not clean. The first room they offered me was so stuffy I couldn't breathe, so I asked to change rooms. They moved me to another room with six beds, but it was bad. The wall and door smelled musty, and although the shower was hot and steamy, there was no ventilation, and there was a smell of ham. The hot water cut out and there was only cold water when I had shampoo in my hair. I had to find another shower.
Its very economical and easy to move around.
Had to go up 4 flights of stairs up to reach my room, and when I sat on the toilet the my knees would touch the door.
Central location, clean sheets, and the female dorms have a en-suite bathroom, allowing you to shower easily and safely as a solo female traveler.
Bring an eye mask! Lights at each bed are super bright, people coming in late will wake you
Very nice stuff Clean ec and bath room
Narrow spaces ?No elevator And beds are not separate by certain
Had a lovely experience here. The Flying Pig Uptown is filled with well-comfort sleeping rooms, good food for breakfast and a friendly working team. The location is in the middle of everything I like to be: Vondelpark, de Pijp and Leidseplein.I'm coming back for sure!
