About
The Flying Pig Downtown is a vibrant backpacker hostel positioned right on Nieuwendijk street, steps from Amsterdam’s iconic Dam Square, the bustling Red Light District, and the city’s central train station. Guests are welcomed into a lively mix of a bar, a cosy smoking room, and open communal spaces that turn every stay into an opportunity for socialising and exploration. Whether you’re in the mood to hop across town on a bike, enjoy a beer at the hostel’s on‑site bar, or dive into the local nightlife, Flying Pig offers a laid‑back atmosphere by day and a full‑on party scene by night. The hostels provide basic but comfortable accommodation with crisp beds, personal lockers, free Wi‑Fi, a shared kitchen and an all‑inclusive welcome drink. Rooms are available in dormitories or private rooms, catering to both solo travellers and those travelling with a group. Breakfast is available for €7 at the hostel’s café for a quick start to your day of sightseeing. With its central location and budget‑friendly rates the Flying Pig Downtown is ideal for backpackers, young travellers and anyone looking for a fun, social atmosphere without breaking the bank.
