Flying Pig Uptown Reviews
Great Location, Well designed Sep 09, 2009
The Flying Pig Uptown hostel was perhaps the best hostel I stayed at on my trip. It's a toss-up between this one and St. Christopher's Village in London.
This place is located near Vondelpark and a very short walk to Museumplein and Leidseplein. I stayed in a 12-person room, which would bring the problems you'd expect but keep the cost low. 12 different people are likely to sleep at 12 different times, causing lights and noise to come at any time of day or night. This didn't necessarily bother me, but it is something to consider. In the lowest level of this hostel is a kitchen that didn't seem to be kept to clean. I didn't cook, but if you're planning on cooking you should expect to deal with a bit of a mess. There was a bar and lounge area where you could socialize, get on the free wifi, or just relax with a beer. Adjoining the bar/lounge area is a smoking room for those who come to Amsterdam to smoke marijuana in a public setting without any fear of prosecution. The bathroom was separate from the shower in my room, which I thought was a great design decision. Overall definitely a hostel I'd recommend. I prefer its location to the Flying Pig Downtown unless you're planning on spending much of your time in Amsterdam in the Red Light District.

Uptown is somewhat smaller in size than other fellow Amsterdam hostels, which explains its people orientated character. The hostel presents you with a perfect...(see more)
