The Flying Pig downtown was literally the place to be during our four-night stay (all at the Pig) in Amsterdam this past week. The atmosphere is top notch, no other hostel I have ever stayed in can reach the level of "chill" in the air at the Pig downtown. The smoking room will always have a place in my heart, can't beat the free breakfast, and the bar service was great at any hour (even for a tea/juice!) The rooms were clean and warm and the locks were available at the front desk for lockers. The Flying Pig Downtown has officially set the bar in my book for "what a real hostel should look/feel/operate like" anywhere in the world. I wish there was a Flying Pig in every country.
