The Flying Pig Downtown

Anyone who is familiar with the hostel scene in Amsterdam has heard of The Flying Pig. There are a few locations in Amsterdam, but two of them stand out as particularly noteworthy - one of them is The Flying Pig Downtown. It is everything you would expect from a young, social and hip hostel with a serious party vibe. There is an on site bar with a pool table and some of the cheapest beer in Amsterdam, and DJs that come by twice a week to play great dance music. What more could you ask for?

Well, perhaps you could ask about the location. The Flying Pig Downtown is right on the busiest shopping street in Amsterdam, and a short walk to most of the city’s sights - including the Red Light District, Dam Square, the Royal Palace and Anne Frank House. The Central Station is right next door, too, so the location could not be more ideal. Sure, there are plenty of things to keep you occupied and happy right inside the hostel, but you are also here to see Amsterdam - so it is nice that The Flying Pig Downtown makes it easy to do that.

Some of the amenities you will find at The Flying Pig Downtown are:

• Free linens
• Free continental breakfast
• Free internet access
• Free luggage storage
• On site bar
• Bicycle rental available
• Taxes included in price
• 24 hour reception and 24 hour check in
• No curfew or lockout

People often stay in hostels because they want to save money, so getting a free breakfast with your stay is a great perk at The Flying Pig Downtown - what is more, the use of the hostel’s kitchen means you will be able to cook more meals for yourself and save even more money. Other great things The Flying Pig Downtown offers for free include internet access, webcams and phone calls to other hostels in its network.

This party atmosphere comes at a price - The Flying Pig Downtown has an age restriction. Guests must be between the ages of 16 and 40 to stay there. But if that is the only restriction on having a great time, that is a pretty good deal. It is easy to see why The Flying Pig Downtown ends up on so many “best of” lists, including ours - a great location, great prices and a friendly party vibe combine to make this one of the best hostels in Amsterdam.
