Our take
The Flying Pig Downtown Hostel offers a sociable, central base a short walk from Amsterdam Centraal, with dorms and private rooms, free breakfast, a bar, a restaurant and parking. The smoking lounge sets the tone, so it suits travellers comfortable with a lively atmosphere. An 8.6 guest score from 2,714 reviews shows it delivers on that promise. I recommend it to budget travellers and groups; anyone seeking calm should book a quieter hotel.
- Take advantage of the free breakfast to fuel up before exploring the city.
- Head to the bar in the evening to meet other travellers and enjoy the social vibe.
- If you're driving, remember that parking is available for an additional charge.

Why guests love itThe Flying Pig Downtown Hostel is a lively hostel a short walk from Amsterdam Centraal, with private rooms as well as dorms. Free breakfast and a bar and restaurant make it practical, but the smoking lounge and party feel are worth weighing before booking with children. Parking is available for families who drive. With a guest score of 8.6 from 2,714 reviews, I would suggest it to families with older teenagers who want a sociable, central base rather than a quiet one.
