Next to the famous Vondel park and the Leidseplein, the square where it all happens ...
In the middle of a shopping street around the corner of the Red Light District and the Central station... 
Located right next to one of Holland’s beautiful beaches. There’s nothing that can beat...
Think hundreds of colors, think the scent of thousands of flowers, think about the best decision you made this trip!

About Us
The Flying Pig hostels are all you could wish for as a backpacker in Amsterdam; a bar to relax or party, chill-out indoor smoking area, a guest kitchen, good comfy beds and the real Amsterdam life right outside our door. But most importantly; staff and guests that just love being here!
From now on the Flying Pig staff is sharing all their inside inside information with all of you, it’s not only for people staying with us…
You can get the information in a printable guide or on your iPod…or if you are in a lazy mood, choose for a walkingtour.
Have a look here:

Of course everything is available at the hostels as well.
Have a great time in Amsterdam!

Watch out if you have a special pasport, because you might score a free shot with it in our Uptown Bar!! We gave plenty on Canada day, but none when it was the turn of Kasachstan passport holders…
More pictures of the gender bender party, because they are just so funny…
We like to say goodbye to our staff in style….
On the goodbye of Garath and AJ we organized a gender bender party, meaning all the girls dressed up as boys and all the boys dressed up as girls! Guests joined in, even though they had no outfits, our hostess sky made sure they had boobs and moustaches… Boys could get their legs waxed for a free drink and girls had to belch from 1 to 10.
There was a Prom king (Baukje) and Prom Queen (Snowy), they received suitable prizes for their costume efforts!
All together a fun, crazy drunk on jagermeister night!
See you next time?
